William Saliba (2)

Considering arteta said he stayed in London all summer to prepare for the season got to wonder why he isn't getting a chance tonight. Does Arteta not rate him?

He may simply not be ready.

Arteta put out a statement earlier about it but I didn't read it.

[Sims]

I think we’ll wait for a lesser opponent than Leicester to give him his debut tbh

If we were playing a lower tier side him and Runarsson would’ve started imo

He was probably terrible in the pre-season games behind closed doors.

One thing to remember is Saliba was signed by Emery certain managers don’t rate players that may have been signed by the predecessor just because fans do.

Mourinho and shaw for example or Ancelotti happy to let Ozil leave Madrid for us, anyways I’m not saying Arteta deffo hates him or doesn’t rate him it’s just a theory.

[Ach]

Gone in the summer I reckon.

[gooney]

He is 19....not 12. I would understand being patient with a 12 year old, but 19 he should be ready

[alexafc12]

Love this guy. What a signing

[Losmeister]

make him earn his spot...like everyone.... and if he doesn't , shrug

Eh, Saliba was highly rated before signing for Arsenal. Zidane saw him as the next Varane and wanted him at Madrid for instance.

Good point and Keita for prob longer.

Ok what’s your point?

All I was saying is certain managers don’t like certain players no matter how good they’re or how others rate them. Not saying that’s 100% the case in this situation just a theory too early to tell

[ESR10]

I think we will see him in the Europe League, not before.

[Arsenal Tone]

19 is young for a CB, i remember rio ferdinand looking raw even at leeds (aged 22)

[Callum]

Not concerned in the slightest. If he doesn't start featuring in some of our Europa League group games, then I might start becoming somewhat concerned.

That I'm not sure he's not playing because Arteta is maybe the one manager who doesn't rate him.

We've played two PL games and one cup game against a very good PL side. If Saliba still isn't getting PT when the PL advances a little or he doesn't start in the EL against pubbers, then I'd worry that Arteta doesn't rate him.
