He suits our situation far better. We could afford to loan him back out, Toby for another year, then Sanchez into Toby’s spot next season and Saliba into Sanchez role.
I thought that but I think when Herc previously said about the under 21 player he said he wasn’t in the press yet, may be wrong but Saliba was already likedI wonder if this is the player mentioned by Hercules as the under 21 player. Just turned 18..
Will go back to ASSE on loan, that’s what they seem to be non negotiable onI don't see any specifics on if he will be available this season or next.
Any news on that ?

Was going to say this ticks all the boxes. Herc said we expect the deal to be done but it’s complicated.

Hercules said someone not mentioned in press before. Saliba was.
He did, but I don't think any of us were really taking this link seriously until now. It had mostly seemed like tabloid clickbait or an agent using our name to progress a deal along. This is the first highly credible report as far as I know. You could be right though, which itself would be incredibly exciting.Pretty sure that Herc said the mystery youngster's name wasn't out there. We have been linked with Saliba for a few weeks now.
The fact that we're potentially gazumping Arsenal would explain why no confirmation has been given or why Herc's been told not to identify the player by name. Looking at that post I don't see there being any inconsistency if Saliba were the player.Where did Herc say not in the media??
This was the itk he posted :-
A lot happening. New updates becoming rapid. I am told we are trying to tie up a deal for a very talented under 21, with ‘Massive potential’. Trying to finalise with his club, as lot of interest in him. I do not have the name as yet, and I know that is frustrating. If I get the name I will post it (if I can). Normally when name comes out I get confirmation.
