Didn't forget, I just don't think he's relevant. I think a lot of Arsenal fans talk out their arse when it comes to Saliba and his quality. I know a damn sight more than most because I've watched lots of his games and he is a MASSIVE talent, but he still has lots to learn, lots to improve on and needs to grow into his body because he still struggles moving that huge frame around.
Would I have him here playing games? Absolutely. Would he be an upgrade over Rob Holding over the course of the season? Probably not, especially when you factor in experience. Is Marseille about his current level? Yes, I think so.
If it was up to me, I'd have been blooding him here from day one because watching Holding, Chambers and Pablo Mari is no fun at all, but if you think Saliba won't have his own significant issues to work out that will draw criticism and cost points, you're wrong. I think Ben White is much further along in his development and is just generally a much better defender at this point in time.
