#AFC statement on William Saliba says St Etienne would not agree to collaborate on a training plan to ensure he is fit for the start of next season.

Club says: "We also expected not to be financially disadvantaged by extending the loan. This was not acceptable to St Etienne"

Does that mean that the club were expecting a loan fee from st etienne ? Not sure how else we could be financially disadvantaged

From what I understand St Etienne were due an extra 2.5m if he played 17 games for them this season, the 17th game in this case is the French Cup final, if he played we would have to fork out 2.5m to them. On a side note not quite sure who's brain wave that was to have that kind of clause

Truly that is the most bizarre clause I have ever heard of - we have to pay extra money for a player playing extra games for someone else ??
I was very much in the "let him play the game" group, but now they can fcuk right off as far as I am concerned - they will look well stupid with their fans for prioritising the £2.5m over having supposedly one of the best young defenders in europe in their team

To be honest McD it could have been any number of the fuckwits running our club right now

True story

[nut flush gooner]

Saka's signed a new long term contract.........superb news

That's wanking material

Amazing news and his interview says a lot about the man, quite likeable and apparently David Luiz is having an influence on the youngsters. Martinelli next please.

Delighted he signed. And now we don't have Wenger there to ruin him either!

Dismisses the ridiculous theory Arteta is not interested in the youngsters , he loves to develop players. Martinelli would have played if wasn't injured as well IMO .

Really ?? Two fcuking games (against citeeh and brighton) where we were absolute dogshit, and martinelli wasnt used at all In the citeeh game we didnt even have 1 shot on target in the whole game, and yet a young striker with 10 goals this season was left getting splinters in his arse

[gooner265]

He would have played in my opinion, hes not going to dismiss a talent like that . Guendozi is a different story and clearly has attitude problems so good to see he's stamping down his authority. Might be one of the few assets we have to sell to generate funds for a class midfielder which in my mind is our greatest need.

But he clearly didn't play him for the first two games when it was painfully obvious we needed him on the pitch.

[DB10GOONER]

Given the injury Martinelli then picked up is it possible he was showing sings in training? Sometimes ligaments fray before they tear and can give a player pain and swelling before they go fully.

But he was fit enough to be on the bench ?? Reports said his injury occured in a collision at training after the brighton game, and I suspect that subsequent injury is just convenient timing

Indeed and only he knows the reasons why he didn't, i have no doubt he'll feature heavily next year.

Gabriel Martinelli is expected to sign a new contract with Arsenal. [@TimesSport]
