William Saliba (2)

:gabriel:

Oh by the way, this deserves a separate post. I remember reading article from The Guardian that Nunez was one of the quickest in the PL.

Here is Saliba, who started the match, winning the race against Nunez who came on as a substitute in the 60th minute lol. Wow.

Also….

How can you as a defender with such physical status have such ball playing ability? I know he was a striker during his youth games but damn the composure is insane.

Better than Sol Campell and Tony Adams.

Called it a long time ago :ramsdale:

I’d have Gabriel in that top three too. Best CB pairing by miles since Campbell and Toure.

Yeah. Now when you go back to the last season I think both Saliba and Gabriel have improved massively. They both had a lot of mistakes last year, barely having any now.

The defence has improved tremendously. Shame we couldn’t use Timber instead of Zinny too, imagine how good that would be.

Just occurred to me, how mad us it that weve got this good a CB pairing and it only cost us £55-60m?!

That’s like 75% of one Harry Maguire :grin:

But have Gabriel or Saliba won Premier League player of the month? No I dont think so.

Best EPL CB partnership since John Terry and Carvalho

Might be getting a little carried away there. For a start, Ferdinand and Vidic.

Probably time to start talking about that contract extension. Such an important player, can’t think of anyone getting close to him in the league. Especially not that cunt Van Dijk.

He just signed up last season, thankfully not something they need to think about until 2025

I know. We need an extension.

Maybe if this was Football Manager lol

He’s not gonna sign an extension now. The reason his last, and very recent, extension was so short is because he wants to let his deal run down to either secure a huge bag from us or move somewhere else, likely on a free.

Think it’s imperative we win the league soon or at the very least compete to a high level in the CL, 2025 isn’t that far away

Lol that was pretty honest :arteta:

Not sure if he’s honest or just uncomfortable with the language which tends to lead you to just nod or agree with stuff you didn’t understand, which usually gets you in trouble(I’ve been there).

The interviewer is a rat trying to bait Wilo but blame should be on the club for putting him there.

Does he say " We have to accept " ? doesnt make any sense. Maybe he thinks he is getting asked by a penalty claim for Arsenal and not the Ødegaard one.
