Guess we won’t be getting a good look at Saliba in preseason after all then…

Villa have made a new 30 million bid for ESR, which has obviously been rejected.
Such a weird one, either they are trolling or have heard something with regards to his contract extension talks. My guess would be his agent playing games to try and bump up his salary.
This. Let's remember that for all his high profile head rushes, Luis was pretty instrumental to our ball progression last season when we did play well last season. If White's ability in this respect is a good as his rep, then he is being purchased as a premier league ready replacement for one of our most important positions/players in Arteta's system of playing. I don't think you take a punt on a 19? year old who is simply not tested in this league (League 1 not nearly as challenging) to fill this key position. Price seems high - but all English players seem to command a 20/30% premium. I would like to see Saliba play, but many of those demanding for him would be the first to criticise taking a risk with a club of our stauture if he was not up to it within a short period.
That's not to say the whole Saliba deal doesn't look like a fiasco, but the question of what we need at CB if we are to hit the ground running nextseason is a slightly different one, despite the fact that this is Saliba's position.
£35m for Ramsdale :haha:
Surely has to be a wind up.
I'd sooner give Son of Runar a go.
