“William wanted to be regular starter as you know but now we want him back at Arsenal. He has to come back, bend the knee and work hard like everyone else."
Arteta needs to tone it down. Comes across like a real prick.
I say go on Arteta. Wind this prick in! He has a contract with us. He might have had a good season but he's 21 and proven nothing.
For the sake of £10m we should try to get him settled with us and show why we bought him.
If he throws his toys out the pram, let him rot in the reserves for a season. It could be the best thing for his career long term! Some of these kids need to realise the world doesn't owe them!
Both of you got trolled, alexafc just added in the bit about bending the knee.

This is only agents talk which could all be BS, but you can kindda see his point.
Remember we have a club policy of not allowing high value players to run contracts down below 2 years.

Worst bluff ever. A 21yo elite prospect is going to willingly choose to sit out two full seasons at Arsenal if he doesn't get his transfer to Marseille this summer?
Like...no, he's not. Two seasons is a LONG time to go without playing. Willingly skipping over 100 possible appearances at a top PL team because he didn't get the move he wanted would be one of the biggest red flags I've ever seen in a player.
Imagine Arsenal buying a player that threw a hissy fit and sat out two years at his previous club because he didn't get his way. Would you all be clamoring to bring him in? f**k no

He wouldn't be as good as he is if he wasn't going out on loan, and White and Gabi wouldn't be as good as they are if they had to shift around for two seasons to accommodate Saliba.
As long as communication was clear, it should all be good. I think the kid needs to wind his neck in and get on with it he's an Arsenal player.

You don't understand what that means - of course Arsenal will play him - he's a quality defender on 2.5m a year - he just won't sign a new contract and his value to Arsenal will plummet. This is elite football not kindergarten.
And what reason would Arsenal have to play him if he openly states he won't sign a new deal and is constantly angling for a move? IMO a smart club would bring in a replacement and build for the inevitable future without him. Right now, Arsenal has the leverage. It's too bad Arteta and Edu f***ked up the Nice loan last season. We could be in a completely different spot.
