Mohamed Salah

[Torvald Utne]

This team averages 21 shots per game, far more than anyone else.  Records are relative.

What I don't get is everyone seemed on board with players who haven't contributed 10% of what MO has done getting extentions . I actually thought  many were sentimental Jurgen calls rather than good footballing decisions.  Leaving on a free or not , Mo deserves to exit on his own terms . He has at least 2 more years left at PL level . Whatever fans opinions, he remains our best finisher based on data alone . You just don't discard players with that sort of record . 

 

The problem is two-fold; he has been far better than the other 4 forwards in terms of production, which is commendable and why I had trouble criticizing him for large parts of the season, but he has gradually become a negative at everything else. 

 

 

[Lee909]

He was in player of the season form pre injury

 

Pre Afcon in the league

20 games

14 goals 

8 assists

 

Post Afcon in the league

12 games

4 goals

2 assists

 

It's exactly what happened after the last AFCM when they ran him into the ground

Rumour is he purchased the hair clippings and is now getting a weave done.

An enormous frizzy black combover.

He's not gone to Turkey has he?

He was going very thin on top in those close up camera angles when on the pitch. Looks good on him. If it's real of course.

Apparently, his shirt sales pay his wages several times over. Difficult to let him go. And he was brilliant before AFCON. 

 I find that hard to believe. He's on around £300k a week, shirts about £100 each. Thats 150,000 shirts a year.

It can't be. Remember reading something about Messi when he had come to Miami - Salah sold 4th most in world behind FakeR and Lewandowski.

 

He sold 800k but the club gets only a percentage of the retail.

Going for a Benzema look before his move to Saudi.

I guess that’s one way to make yourself stand out to your new bald manager.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

We all dream of a team of baldy men!

[Torvald Utne]

Just looks like a receding hairline and poor lighting, he hasn't shaved it off

[Bobby Hundreds]

Might just be tied back. Slow news. Need signings or new manager content or a life.

Lfc gets no more than 10-20% of each shirt sold.

If that and Mo would get a piece through image rights

Never watched this game back before but popped in my recommended on YouTube last night. 

 

 

I forgot just how good Salah was, he was frightening. He was so direct and the speed and ability was brilliant in full flight. Easy to remember the bad times but shouldn't forget what made us so good, great player in his peak years.

Villa game is a prime example. He was really good, yet on here he should be sold. He did so many one touch passes inside from his position but it's either ignored or not seen.

'Was' may be the operative word there. That was five seasons ago. Not many players improve or stay the same in that time period.

But the great Mo Salah did.

Said awhile ago the club would be doing good business by agreeing a year extension under the current terms.

Not sure Salah would accept that.

 

If that were an option I have little doubt that Edwards would offer it to him in an instant.

 

As you say, the problem is Mo wouldn't take it. He's probably got one more big contract to sign, so he's not going to make it a one year deal and then get a much lower deal at age 34 when even Saudi would just offer him 100k/week. He'll be after something that pays him something like 200k/week until he's 35-36, and he'll probably get it. Just not from us.

 

So the only question that remains is how much we'd accept for him this summer. Would we prefer to pay him 15m for this upcoming season and then lose him on a free, just to ensure that we don't have a big dropoff next season under Slot? Or does someone offer us 100m and Hughes and Edwards tally up what we could get on the market for that and take the hit on next season to set us up better for 2026 and beyond?

Any talk of him leaving this summer will almost certainly be shot down by himself and his agent. Obviously leaving on a free will be more beneficial for him.
