This whole series is going to be invalidated here, our sub picking Saliba for 2 seasons of being in the team over per Mertesacker is outrageous. I guess shows the average age of the sub right now.
I disagree. Saliba is so much more complete than either of them. Mertesacker was always vulnerable playing a high line because he lacked any real pace and Saliba easily eclipses Koscielny in terms of physicality.

Shows the ability of Saliba more than anything. Two seasons is enough to see he’s the best CB we’ve had in a very long time
He’s not though, Mertesacker and kosc were both better at their peaks than Saliba is now.
