I think that's a key difference right there. Saliba is 19 by contrast and has only made a handful of first team starts in his life so far. Not having him play at this age, especially after the disrupted season he had last year, is a bit ridiculous. It's how you wreck his development. Hopefully we're looking at loaning him in the January window which is only 10 weeks away.
Saliba is not the only kid we're doing this to either. There are 2-3 others that won't make the bench on most match weekends and we still haven't sent them anywhere on loan. There's still a bit of time but you have to ask questions of both Arteta and the loan manager we hired if they all stay here without getting any minutes.
