Sigh... We're selling him aren't we?
Country: England
Tbh I seriously doubt it - but this treatment puzzles me.
The boy had personal stuff going on and you stick a bib on him and put him in U23s, whilst including jokers in the squad instead
I grow more tired with this club by the day. There’s more to this than we know for sure - the Carabao Cup comments were interesting.

I will be annoyed if we let Saliba go and have given playing time this season to the likes of Luiz and Mustafi.
So in other words, we saw him up close and deemed him not ready. You don't have to agree with that assessment but that is ultimately what the club has decided. All this other conjecture is just that, stories to suit peoples agenda either way.
He has missed out on playing around 600 minutes for the club, not really affecting his development and his value won't have changed. If anything if the coaching staff were proven right that he isn't ready and come in and made mistakes his value would be affected more. But that is speculation.
What we do know, is our defence really hasn't been that big of an issue this season and central pairings of 19 and 23 years of age don't exist in the Premier League. But most of all Arteta has said multiple times that he isn't ready and thats what it comes down too. All this rubbish about stuff behind the scenes and him not being an Arteta signing therefore not rating him or attitude issues is all a load of BS. He will go out on loan and either improve of his the weaknesses the coaching staff has identified and be ready for first team minutes next season or he will potentially face another loan until such time as he is ready.
The point being is Saliba is a long term prospect more than anything, playing in a position where many defenders don't peak until their late twenties and we have no reason to rush him. I understand why Arsenal fans would rather watch him than someone like Mustafi and he should have been included in the EL squad but it shouldn't be hard to understand why he is not getting game time beyond that.

I have doubts they want to sell him as well, but with this news of a new deal for Holding and Ornstein saying the club are looking to sign another right sided CB where does that leave Saliba? Personally I think it should be Saliba partnering Gabriel at the start of next season but Arteta seems to have other ideas.

He trained with the team the entire summer and featured in a first pre-season match so he was ready then. If the club saw he wasn't ready why haven't they arranged the loan sooner?
Deemed him not ready for what anyway? What is this club's ambition that a highly-rated young defender isn't ready for?
We aren't mounting a title challenge anytime soon, nor we're going anywhere with Luiz, Mustafi, and Kola who racked some 15 appearances between them during the season.
Nobody saying he should be a EPL starter at 19. But he wasn't ready for an odd league cup game or 6 matches against plodders in Europa? Give me a break.
maybe Arteta knows more about him than L’Equipe

Why do people keep asking “what’s going on omg” ffs? It’s abit obvious, Arteta doesn’t have the courage or time to develop him.

The job of Arteta and Edu is to get results today, if they don’t have the time or patience to develop a 19 year old CB you have to respect that.
You question the club here. You chop and change constantly, spend money, sign players and there is no plan or direction.
Raul signs some young players, we sack Raul and give the club to Edu and Arteta who now want to sell the young players. That’s on the club.
This isn’t true though. Edu’s job is looking beyond the now. It’s Arteta who should be looking at the present day.

Most likely explanation. But then again you have Edu who according to the Athletic is looking to develop the squad towards academy players and young prospects with a couple of star players. He and Arteta supposedly share a vision for the club and football in general and talk every day (all according to the piece in the Athletic). Then it makes no effing sense at all.
This is the trouble with making Arteta manager. It has muddied the waters as to who holds the power. When he was coach it was obvious Edu was his boss, but who holds the power now?
Country: England
You can develop a player and still get instant results ffs.

Edu is new, under pressure and never had a job like this before. I think some self preservation is natural and expected.
You have to be established or experienced in the modern game to look 3-5 years down the line.
Country: England
We aren't going to sell him because Arteta and Edu want instant results and don't have the courage to develop him. Absolute rubbish posting.

Of course you can? Who said you can’t? I’m saying I don’t think Arteta wants to develop players in the team.You can develop a player and still get instant results ffs.

It's simple we've decided he's not ready and Saliba is growing frustrated and wants game time.
