✍️ OFFICIAL William Saliba (Loan)

[Trilly]

Can't be fun for him either, constantly moving city and feeling inadequate. Arteta has failed him as a human being let alone as a coach.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Arteta, Edu and whoever was responsible for not loaning him last summer have handled the Saliba situation horrifically.

There is literally no scope for debate there in my opinion. We have let him get to two years on his deal which the club explicitly said we would sell or renew players at. We are giving ourselves an issue we can already foresee a year down the line. It will be renew (which he may not want to do if Arteta is still here- or even if he’s gone if we don’t make big promises), or sell (will be forced to take what we get to an extent- I see him doing well on loan and us still making a loss in this situation).

There is still hope of course, but this has been poor player management.

Wasn't the issue that the player waited for Rennes? And they held him by the nose? Hence, why he refused to entertain them this season.

Nice to Marseille is a 2 hour drive.

FOR SURE!

WE NEED ANSWERS

Which Press Conference Interviewer has the GUTS to ask this question? This transfer is now so bizaare.
30 million bizaare. He needs to be called out on his BS. Let's see how he'll shift the blame to Saliba stating that he wanted to give him a chance in preseason, but Saliba insisted on Marseille BS..

Reminds me of when we signed Park Chu Young, and all of sudden never saw him play after he score a nice goal in league cup. Well atleast he did play in the league cup.

None. All of last season the journalists asked rubbish questions.

He's gone on a season loan for the first time in his career with us, thats all.

He spent the entire 18/19 season on loan at St. Etienne.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

He spent the entire 18/19 season on loan at St. Etienne.

He started 13 games and played 1277 minutes over the entire season. He has never played a full season anywhere.

Why are you shifting the goal posts? You said he never had a full season on loan, which is just not true. It's not his fault he picked up an injury that limited his game time.

 

[Sanchez11]

He has alot of game time for his age ffs

He didn't have a full season was my point, me saying on loan might've triggered something in you that didn't sound right. But I meant game time wise as I've been saying for a long time now.

Neither has Emile Smith Rowe. Sure, let's loan him out. Neither has Martinelli, sure let's loan him out. Neither has Wilock, sure let's loan him out.

FFS man - stop moving the goal posts. At 20 years old, you don't need to have a full season. We're simply asking him to be part of the squad and play 20 matches.

 

[Garrincha]

at 20 he has considerably more top flight appearances that Ben White

cant be an experience thing

 

[APierre]

Wenger and Emery would never.

I'm not triggered, but using not having a full season as a stick to beat him with isn't fair because the club were the ones who messed up his chances of having a full season loan last October.

We are talking about a CB, a position you don't often rotate. The kid needs a full season OF GAME TIME on loan its that simple. There's no point in him being here on the bench 24/7.

 

[El Duderino]

Wenger and Emery would never.

Wenger would have had him either being tapped up by city or going back to France for good by now.

But Arteta rotated our defensive unit heavily this season?

 

[14Henry]

Say Saliba gets injured next season and only plays 20-25 games.

He will need a 4th loan then?

More loans than QuickQuid.

 

[El Duderino]

He's had pretty much the same amount of games, if not more, than Gabriel had when he joined us last season.

It's not that simple. A good manager would blend him into the lineup, give him Cup matches to build his confidence and evaluate him in training to give him PL Minutes. That's what should have been done last season.

Now, every year, it's gonna be a new excuse.

Best thing for Saliba will be prove Arteta and Edu a Muppet of the highest order by earning a spot in the French National Team for the World Cup.

At that point, Barcelona or Real Madrid will come in for him and we'll be forced to sell thinking we've made good financial business.
