✍️ OFFICIAL William Saliba (Loan)

[Riou]

People would be less angry if we gave Saliba a chance, before dumping him in January...he didn't play any games, not even a league cup one ffs...Arteta wasted this season, should have at least played him a few times so we could see his level.

Guendo is a different situation though, he had his chance and we always looked better when he wasn't playing...Arteta was right to move him on, imo.

Guendouzi is his own problem... We shot his value down, sure, but he didn't help himself in Hertha anyway.

The club went out of its way to not play him, be it intencionaly or because they just couldn't care.

There is something which has transpired between this fellow and Arteta, maybe he turned up last year and acted entitled and thought he would have walked right into the team. Or he acted out when not registered for the squad. (All conjecture.)

However all the hue and cry for a player who has never played for us over here is ridiculous.

It's because he hasn't played for us that we're angry. If he was given a fair crack at the whip and messed up most people wouldn't be complaining, or at least wouldn't have grounds to complain.

We invested £30m on him and we'll probably sell him for less than half of that without giving him a proper chance. This club sure loves throwing money away.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

I would be really fine with that, but atm I give it a 30% chance of happening and keeping Saliba. I hope I am proven wrong.

Yeah same !

I filed officially a complaint to the head honchos yesterday, telling them to look into mental abuse caused by Slicky Mick. Lets hope it bears fruit

Investigation needed at the carpet

See what they all have in common.....

Nowhere near you all.

 

[Wounded Healer]

Don’t think there’s been much talk with any player. A lot of its click bait in that sense. Saliba is an easy point of criticism for the overtly emotional and unoriginal Arteta out brigade. Easy money.

Definitely.

go back to sleep.

you never woke up.

I think it is pretty abysmal the way that Saliba, has been treated by the club, I can't see why we bought the player in the first place if we were not going to play him we have just wasted two years of his career and the club are probably going to lose money on the player if he does get sold on,
If the club have got any sense they will play him in preseason games to find out if he will fit into the team this season.

 

[GunnerShy]

This has been going this way ever since Saliba turned up for Pre season last season.

It's been obvious to see, the thing as a fan that pisses me off is that Arteta has been duplicitous about his management of Saliba the whole time. He's been planning to turn William Saliba into William Salida since then.

Not registering him in the EL, not playing him in the Papa John's or FA cup. Not finding him a suitable loan deal at the start of last season and not playing him in preseason barring one match (in which I thought he played well FFS).

Now talk of selling him. £30m prospect with a good Loan under his belt to be sold without a single opportunity to impress. Zero communication from Arteta if reports are to be believed. Simply not good enough. That alone should ring alarm bells. AMN expressing similar issues.

This is the part where Edu needs to earn his money. Protect the value of the player. Organise a proper loan spell with no option or obligation to sell. Personally I'd like to see him loaned out on the premier league. Give him the opportunity to embarrass MA week in week out. If he does, he is back to us, "Premier league proven". If not, at least we've seen where he is currently at, at this level.

In Artetas defence he is an incompetent clown who should never got a chance

@OnlyOne level of posting here. Bravo!

Where's that crying emoji I asked for in the Like option??? I need it, I tell ya. I neeeeed it!

 

[HairSprayGooners]

I'd be excited for him to have a premier league loan, feel like thats the next step for his development. Regardless of who we sign next season Saliba will never play all games for us, he should be getting a full season at say a Southampton or Newcastle imo. Then we will really see if he's good enough.

We have to laugh just to keep ourselves sane.

We are simply asleep and when preseason starts, we'll get outpriced and left to pock up pieces

Joke of a manager. Damaging our club for years to come by destroying valuable future assets in either potential ability or financial gains such as Saliba.

Cannot wait when he inevitably gets sacked by Christmas when it’s too late due to our form continuing from last season.
