Mohamed Salah

Ideal signing if we get this over the line. Just what we need. Pace. Goals. Assists. Salah is as near as we could get for another Mane on the opposite flank.

 

I'm not worried about ACON. As has already been said it's a relatively small number of games in the grand scheme of things, and there's time to look at that between now and the next tournament.

 

What I will say though, is I struggle with the ACON being every two years. It should be every four years in the off time from the World Cup, same as the Euros. How did they wangle that one? And how come FIFA doesn't standardize everything? If it's a global game, and it is, then there should be a global template.

I'm still irritated by this twat for turning us down for Chelsea, knowing he wouldn't get a game but get a lot more money. Now he's come crawling back for 3 times the fucking price. I won't celebrate his signing but if that's who Klopp wants then fair enough.

He didn't turn us down. We never matched Basles asking price, Chelsea did.

FSG don't get it, that what they try and save by faffing around, they lose in supporter excitement, morale and momentum and usually end up taking a financial hit down the road too. It really is the tactic of an utter buffoon. Who incidentally, I would have liked to see us sign for GK a long time ago. FCK FSG.

Not a great deal of money flying round the African leagues, I think it's their way of raising cash.

Some of these people are fucking crazy beyond belief arent they? Or maybe they just want another angle to berate the club over?

 

The people saying dont sign African players because they (may) miss 1\20th (seriously!?) of our league games, would rather we just sign dross so they can have another go.

I think it is stupid to do this with a paper thin squad. If we were like City who have 25 replacements for every player then its fine,but for a club who blew its title chances because of one African player at the AFCON Cup to then add another its madness. I've never even heard of this Salah fella and I've yet to see an Egyptian international who I think is anything above half decent.

I am not berating the club for buying an African player per se but for putting more eggs in the same basket. If the club goes out and buys another 5 or 6 players who could cover for Mane and Salah before August then fine,but it seems unlikely based on past history. Also,Africa is the only continent who have their Championships during the season of the major European Leagues,even South America doesn't. So yes stupid is my description.
