Marli Salmon: First-team splash

[Trilly]

see you in 2-3 years mate.

Hopefully he develops physically but he’s clearly going to be very very comfortable on the ball. Always a good sign when a player is good enough on the ball to make you wonder if they should be playing further forward.

I'd rather stick with this guy than buy QuanKonsa

 

[berric]

Can't wait for the club to whore him around next year because we had to fund Quansah.

CB relies heavily on experience. You can't put a 16y old at starting CB for a team that is chasing PL and CL glory. We need to loan him out for a few years where he can start.

We cannot loan him at this point due to his age.

 

[Aubamabludclat94]

His composure is ridiculous for a 16 year old. Plays like a prodigious 22 year old CB. It really is uncanny Saliba-esque

 

[Tourbillion]

Tremendous talent. He's ahead of Dowman for me.

 

[GDeep™]

Won’t be long before we offer him to Utd or Chelsea.

 

[Kuroske]

He will be 17 before transfermarket closes. Is it still too young?

 

[Dutch D]

Lot of faith in this kid, hope he is nurtured well. I wouldnt mind him as a third choice cb/rb at the club. Replace White with a fully fit RB and we have 5 good options for two positions (once Saliba is fit)

 

[coleio]

Won’t be long before we offer him to Utd or Chelsea.

Nothing to worry about though, we'll pay £80m for Gusto to replace him.

It's a big risk but I don't want Konsa or that Liverpool reject.

Wenger would back this kid even under these circumstances and pressure to retain the title.

Arsène Wenger: ‘You pay for the education of young players with points. If I play a 20-year old centre back, I know he’ll cost me points during the season & I have to stand up for that. A less talented 28 year old would cost me less points. However, by 23/24 you have a player’.

I pick Wenger approach to youth everytime, provided already has elite seniors as role model for the youth and the youth really has at least near elite potential. When you are good enough, then you are old enough. Keep Salmon till Jan 27 for early League/FA Cup games, hopefully he does well to get loans on Jan 27.

I don’t see the need for CB unless they can play RB. Mosquera Calafiori White and Salmon can manage. Ok not Saliba level but then not many are. I don’t want a player tied to us for a few years when we have CB’s like Mosquera and Salmon.

Yeah but what did he say about a 16 year old one?

 

[TH14shahriar]

Come on you can play 16 years olds in attack, but a 16 year old as defender is a different story.

 

[avenellroad]

He should be a fixture in match day squads with hopefully some rotational minutes

Hasn’t Cubarsi already won two La Ligas and the World Cup by his 19th birthday?
