William Saliba (2)

The Players

Yeah, but why?

I don’t get how the French press benefits from this. If it’s clicks they have hundreds of other names that are far more popular to use.

Someone is trying to push out a narrative here. I can’t see it being the club as the last thing they want is this distraction, and they already went to the French media to debunk these stories and even had Arteta publicly address it.

So it’s either driven by Saliba and his entourage, Marseille or some other club trying to destabilise the player in hopes of getting him.

The fack is Mohamed TERP

He’s French, young, and clearly very good.

If we had an English, young, and very good player on loan to West Ham from PSG, the British press would be all over it.

Reputable media wouldn’t. We’ve seen reputable media report on this. Having Arsenal come in to dispute the rumours and Arteta himself to address it makes them look bad.

Lol GFFN at it again with their pro-Saliba narrative.

Such an agenda driven shithouse “news” account. Butthurt cunts

Doesn’t matter what Saliba reportedly wants.

He’ll do what we want.

Will get a new contract this summer, according to L’Equipe. GFFN in the mud.

GFFN are just the messenger here though. L’Equipe and RMC Sport have been the ones flip-flopping about the Saliba situation.

For how long though, if you want to take that stance he could just run his deal down.

Why would you want someone around who doesn’t want to be here, hopefully it’s not the case but he has leverage here.

What if he doesn’t intent to sign a new deal?

It’s unlikely that Arteta stands in the way. If the money is sufficient they’ll let him leave imo.

Sometimes they share their personal views on things and have thrown shade at us before.
They also have been caught for not actually knowing what they’re talking about.
I believe they once did an analysis on Gabriel. Robbie from AFTV invited someone from GFFN(I think the guy runs the account actually) over to talk about Gabriel and the guy thought Gabriel was right footed.

Seems like a talented young guy from his time on loan, but what’s the issue with him? Wants to stay in France, or doesn’t want to play for us?

In the spirit of balance, I just translated some French tweets on his sub appearance tonight.

A selection:

I wondered how he went when I saw substitute Saliba on in the 61st and they concede 68 and 88.

2866

Wait, Konate isn’t even in the squad?

2867
