✍️ OFFICIAL Jurrien Timber

That’s just an assumption. No manager just keep a CB in place all season because he did well start of the season. Arteta had no problem benching nketiah when Jesus came back. He would have benched Saliba when Tomiyasu came back if he believed he was better. It could very well be Ben was planned to move to rb in pre season. I think Ben will lose his RB spot next

So is this.

So is this.

If Arteta thought Ben is better cb than Saliba he had all season to play him there instead of Saliba. How is that an assumption

We're not talking about the same thing. You're just trying to argue.

He got lucky that Saliba took the opportunity well. Surely after the first few games it was clear that Arteta rates him higher. Just look at the new contract he is getting.
And i do agree that if Tomiyasu had not been injured we may have seen very less of Saliba as rotating is not Artetas forte.

This also will be done this week. Dutch media said between 40-45M€ should be accepted. If the fee true this around 46M€ the amount Ajax are asking

Seems the most likely scenario.

We got to be pleased with this, another player very comfortable with the ball, versatile, will help with our playstyle and with world class potential if he can settle here. Wonder where it leaves Tomiyasu who when fit was a very good player, especially loved his ability on both feet to do long switches of play into Saka/Martinelli on each flank.

As a backup to Saliba and someone who can come in late to help protect a lead in a back 5.

His ability to turn away from defenders is quite impressive. Also his ability to drive into small spaces between defenders. Takes some risks though, which can be costly in the prem. It would interesting to see a whole match compilation to see if his risks ever turn into turnovers.

Airpod's recommendation.

Arteta crazy about him. Ffs this reporting

He is an amazing talent, can promise the guys on here he will be very very good.
I also think my dutch friends here will confirm that.

I'm sure they do on occasion but as we saw last season, Saliba is the best security blanket in the league so just like he was often left to cover for White's overlaps that went awry, I'm sure he can cover for Timber who has vastly superior recovery pace to White anyway.
