He will start score goals again now.

 

The calendar curse is over. 

 

This is our saviour.

Lucky for him he's injured all of February. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I binned Mo out of my fantasy team this week.

 

You're welcome.

What are people's thoughts on shipping him out in the summer? His half arsed performances have been pissing me off this year, all the more frustrating due to the fact he could turn it on again like a tap if he wanted to. Another season like this and his value will plummet.

Not that i want it - but i have been absolutely convinced for a while and said so on here a few times that I believe he leaves this summer

I'm indifferent now to be honest.

[Jairzinho]

Think it can only really be PSG or Newcastle. None of the proper clubs will pay him what he thinks he deserves.

He hasn't become a bad player overnight - he is suffering a lot along with others because things are broken around him.

 

It is like Rashford with the mancs - looked shite with shite behind him and with that preening prick they bin bagged ruining their play - they fixed the shite behind him, bin bagged the preening prick and voila Rashford is firing again.

 

That isn't to say Salah is blameless - but for me it is the cumulative effects of playing in a broken team, less chances, lesser quality chances, not getting ball in such dangerous areas or in as much space, trying to beat too many men etc etc and making poor decisions (often because sod all else on) and all that leads to a fall off of confidence and intensity.

 

Fix the shite that is killing us as a team you see a better Salah IMO.

 

All that said mind i stand by my assertion he leaves this summer and for sake of what would likely be only one more season anyway, maybe it is right time that he does for club and for him.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Hes still got it but this season the running into dead ends time after time or losing the ball at his feet has been frustrating as hell. Is there one single established player though who comes out of this season with any real credit though. They've all been wank and even those who've been the best have had moments that make you wonder if everyone at the club had a lobotomy. It's just a shit old season rubbed in by the fact the mancs are riding giddy and the ultimate shithouse team Arsenal are in a good place to win the league, actually so are the mancs they could easily pip arsenal and Abu Dhabi as they pressure each other.

[TheHowieLama]

We won't actively try to sell him - we would get lowballed if we try to flog him.

It would need to be a club really wants him, can pay his wage and makes a strong bid. I don't see that happening.

No one is paying him what we are based on performances this year.

I reckon an oil club would, no problem at all.

Not sure Salah would go to Newcastle - his standing in Egypt might be of concern there.

 

Are there more than two others?

Some club in Saudi?

PSG would be a good match, especially if/when they fail in Europe again and want to shake things up.

 

Wouldn’t like him to leave, but we’ll need a source of money in the summer one way or another.

Same concerns as Newcastle there.

It is, and it has been the only viable option the last couple windows.

Messi out Salah in would work for them.

The same thought I had in the summer. Fuck him off.

[John102]

Unless we have to sell him to raise funds, i think any talk of selling him is wrong.

 

I still think he is our best player.

It's understandable that his performance has suffered because the team around his is dysfunctional. But he's our top earner and flagship player, he should be the one who drags up the quality of those around him and makes things happen when things aren't running smoothly. 

 

FSG will certainly be raising an eyebrow next time a player wants a big salary out of them, considering the drop in Mo's form once he got his contract.

Fully agree upon the first part.

 

But when exactly did he sign the contract? I think his drop in form started around desember 2021. At least he was never near his best after the African championship. Thought he signed the new contract after that?

and just like that --poof, gone.

 

Paris St-Germain could let at least one of Argentina forward Lionel Messi, 35, France striker Kylian Mbappe, 24, and Brazil forward Neymar, 31, leave the club in the summer as the club looks to reduce its wage bill because of Uefa financial fair play.

When a team is malfunctioning at the highest level the solution is not to sell one of the best players before next season.

Yes. I also wonder what effect his massive pay rise has had on the rest of the squad.
