Managed to record the whole game last night in great quality for u guys ops:ops:ops:
“We signed a big project that we had some issues with because he’s not played enough football over the past 18 months and at that age, and in the development phase he is at, that is crucial,” our manager said.
“I was always very conscious when he came back, when he didn’t do the step that he had to before joining us, that to start a relationship with a new manager, a new club, new team-mates where he is not having any game-time is really difficult and I think it is damaging for the future.
“I want to protect the player that we signed and the future we have alongside him and the best way to do that is to give him minutes to play. He has been really good, it has been a difficult few months for him to cope with that situation but I see the development that he has made, the progression that he has shown over the months and now he is ready to compete.
“I know that sometimes it is difficult to explain or understand after the money the club spent bringing him in, sending him on loan, but a lot of things have happened to him, he is a long-term player for us and we need to protect him as well. Giving him three or four games is not enough for him, he needs much more than that but what has happened over the past 18 months, he has gone through some personal problems as well that we have to try to help him, and stay as close as possible to him, and now he needs to play, play and play and enjoy his profession as well.
“In order for him to do that I think we have found the right club with him, he is very happy to go there right now and hopefully he can enjoy his football and be ready for us next season.”
Do people really hate Arteta that much?
Ready for us next season <3
Arteta - ‘I want to protect Saliba and his future with us’

Anybody posted this yet? Seems he's in Arteta's long term plans.
Nah it's cos we have a no 10 now.This new system exists because Willian isn't in the team
Forfana is playing with Evans every week, an experienced player who has been playing in England his whole career, that makes a massive difference...no chance we could have started 2 young defenders, that were both new to the league/country, feel it could have been a disaster...Gabby who has years on William has struggled with the physicality of this league at times, never mind a teenager...not playing him in the Europa/getting a loan secured in the summer was poor from us though.
He has plenty of time on his side anyway, he will only be 20 next year anyway.
Has Soyuncu been injured this season, anyone know what happened to him?
Why are you always making excuses for Mikel man?
If you’re ready you’re ready.
We have been pretty good defensively though, with both Gabriel and Holding playing well this season...Arteta has made mistakes in attack this season, but at the back he has been pretty much spot on imo.
Can’t back an injured Chambers and Mari getting EL spots ahead of him.
