Nice aren't in a relegation battle with Saliba and Todibo, they're the ones that helped save them from a relegation battle. Saliba and Gabriel are two objectively very promising CBs. We didn't just spent 60m on them by mistake, lots of other clubs wanted them. We scouted those players, we closed the deals, now play them together. If you wanna extend Luiz for a year just for experience and to play sporadically then cool, I don't mind that.
If anything the problem might be Holding playing too much. Cos he isn't really offering anything right now, apart from being a nice English lad.
I'm not doubting their talent, I'd rather just always have experience in the back line, especially in the PL. Because both players are still developing. Wenger talked about the risk of playing one young CB, two of them comes with massive risks. For me you extend Luiz, keep Chambers around for his versatility. We've no choice but to keep Mari. Holding definitely needs to be sold. Along with Gabriel and Saliba, tho even looking at that it's not great, but you'd be hoping Gabriel and Saliba can have a rapid development. I think Saliba is probably ahead of Gabriel despite being younger despite what Arteta seems to believe so for me he should be the one starting alongside Luiz (tho again Arteta likes his left footed CB, even tho he shouldn't even be manager next season).
