Looking for receipts 👀
I think the key to whether Saliba can play regularly at 19 is who you put next to him. Gomez had VVD, Marquinhos had Silva, Terry had Desailly etc. All experienced, World class players established in their respective leagues. Even Saliba has mostly played alongside a 34 year old Perrin at St Etienne.
Put him with the right partner and he could maybe he could become a first team regular. I really don't think putting him next to Gabriel, Upamecano or Sarr like in a lot of the wish lists is going to work at all however.
Agree. My gripe is that fans are putting their whole expectations that a 19 year old who is learning his trade and played in a farmers league is going to transform our terrible defence. He wont. He needs help. And luiz isnt it. And Holding neither. Nor Sokratis. Nor Mustafi. I also doubt Mari is it either as he has 0 experience in the league.
