Most French clubs are skint so it will be difficult to sell him to one of them unless there’s a player we want and can do some kind of swap. But yeah, he won’t be here for long if we’re spending £50m on a new defender.

9/10 transfer window so far, soon as Elneny signs on the dotted line for the bumper new deal it goes to a 10!
its mad that he was handed the #4 shirt less than a year ago under Arteta 
in one hand i can understand Arteta not trusting Saliba to be starter yet it'll be brutal to throw 19 years CB to start in league he never played in in other hand it's just unfair to see guys like Mari and Holding get minutes and him not so it's difficult Arteta is strict and stubborn so i can see us selling if good 30M comes or worst case loan him to PL club.

loool you said we were gonna get 20 million for him and no way he would go out on loan lol. As I said why the hell would you if you were saliba commit to a transfer. Go out on loan and take your time

Holding is gonna be here longer than Saliba ffs. I think guys like Holding, Elneny, Xhaka and Bellerin are the worst type of squad players to have around. Why? Because they're personality outweigh their quality and it means they can survive squad cullings. They're not as bad or as toxic as a Guendouzi or a Soktratis but they do not push us any closer to where we need to be. If Arsenal were serious about moving forward we wouldn't have offered Holding a new contract but here we are. we're losing Saliba for peanuts for the nice boy Rob Holding.

We sign Saliba & I've got no issue with the loan, he is only 18 after all & meant to be a signing for the future I'd imagine anyway. That would allow us to bring in a more experienced cb for this year like Izzo to also partner Sokratis then Holding hopefully sooner rather then later. We can...arsenal-mania.com
Once again: You have no right to say a word about Saliba and his abilities.

Why would we sell him without giving him a run to see what he can do? Seems like we’re run by idiots.
something is clear i want is we sort this out this summer we really can't go into same BS every summer maybe a new manager will have different ideas if Arteta didn't make it but i don't think Saliba will have to wait much longer he'll want stability with one team so he can focus in his development.
Speaking of 10, that's Neny's jersey number for next season.

Sliba is 20 and no player is born with PL experience. Everyone has to start sometime and start as a rookie. 3 years from now if he plays his first PL game he will still enter the pitch with zero PL experience. you spend 30 million on him. You slowly introduce him to the first team. I said when he was loaned out to Nice the club has written him off. You dont send the player you brought in back to his homeland when he needs to adapt to english football. They could loan him to Championship team and get used to English football. The club will loan him out now and its clear he has no future here whatsoever
Honestly I wish we can convince him to stay, think he'll outlast the manager if he does.

Has anyone thought how Saliba's English skills have affected his situation?
I remember a video of him where he couldn't form sentences at all basically.
How can a rookie CB play when he can't communicate at all with anyone but attackers?

Tbh Sok didn't even have a bad attitude from what I remember, Arteta just decided he wasn't useful in the slightest (I mean sure he's not a great passer but to essentially kill his career at Arsenal is a tiny bit OTT).
Anyway tbh I didn't really care about Sok, and your point is on the money.
Wenger made a few bizarre choices but god you'd never expect the sh!t we've seen with Arteta, defies belief.

Wasn’t there someone on here all season saying we’ll dump all the kids?
Who was it? I can’t remember? Someone must know who that great prophet was?

And we decided to make his english better by sending him back to France.

I rate Ben White but the irony here is that he's had less top flight games than Saliba. That is if that's even the reason Arteta doesn't trust Saliba. I personally think it's his friendship with Guendouzi that's cost him here. Time will tell.
Won't assume Gabriel's level of french, but Luiz played there for a good while. Not the only player in the squad that doesn't speak much English.
He's also 19 and still young enough to quickly learn it being in and around people who speak the language 24/7.
This is just Arteta not rating him and not managing him properly. Something happened and the manager just doesn't trust him. This is not an ability problem.

Dont remember his name but he was annoying and reportedly impotent.
