He wasn't ready to play in the PL, so he got some U23 games and was poor in them.
So we loaned him out to get minutes and work on his game.
Right now looks like it might work out well - we'll see when he comes back in the summer.

So he went out on loan and immediately looked like one of the best young CBs in Europe - which is what he looked like when we signed him for the princely sum of £27m
But .. Arteta Knows LOOOOOL

Arteta's spoken about the importance of a left footed left-sided CB to help open up the pitch when playing out from the back. White is right footed, Gabriel is left footed... we've got Holding as cover for the right side, Saliba (also 23 right?) as cover for the left side.
I agree with jayram that we've handled Saliba just fine. We haven't desperately needed him, and we've given him some important developmental years within his home country getting invaluable experience. He'll be way better when he returns than if he hadn't gone out on loan at all.
Buy another left footed, left-sided 23 year old CB in an already young back line-up? Seems odd.
... does this say anything about how Arteta feels about Saliba's future with us?
