A lot of work to go before he’s elite because you can see there’s a degree of youth to him. But boy, he’s got all the ingredients to be a top defender.
To me he’s one of the best signings of the last summer and definitely in the upper tier of PL defenders.
Pisses me off that every corner we get we take shot and it doesn’t end up going in the box.
I know they’ve got some tall players but when you’ve got someone like Gabriel in there there’s always a chance
I feel like we’ve got a centre back here that other big teams in the league will be kicking themselves for missing out on, particularly at that price. Feels good.
We made a smart buy for once. This is what we need to be doing. A youngish player (especially young for a CB) we paid a decent amount but didn’t get fleeced and go for a guy like Upemecano.
Didn’t put a foot wrong and had Kane is his pocket the entire fucking match, even to the point the spoiled dirty little cunt tried to hurt him with an elbow to the back lmaooooo Gabriel in that shitters head RENT FREE git rekt shiterrrrrr
Surely Saliba should be pushed throughout the summer in order to create the partnership with Gabriel. I hope this time he’ll get his chance to show what he has to offer in some actual competitive games at the start of the next season too.
I hope he can at least get to a level to put up a proper challenge for the starting CB spot, to Luiz or whoever is there in next seson (surely another ex Chelsea player, Rudiger, Christensen :pepe1:)
