If he stays another season at least, he could well be number three on our all time scorer list.

I think number 2 is realistic if he stays.
No1 virtually impossible isn’t it?

THere's two lists doing the rounds. One is post war-ish (WWII) and Mo is third 61 goals behind Roger Hunt. The other is truly all time and Mo's about 5th or 6th

He will be our top Premier League scorer though, if he stays for another season. He’s 16 goals or so behind Fowler, I think.

 

[Modo]

He's got nothing on Gordon Hodgson though.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

@Judge Jules How good was Gordon Hodgson?

You think he'll get at least 85 goals in his remaining time with us?

I can't see it.

Never saw him play mate, but I'll tell you what - that William the Conqueror had a shot like an arrow on him. 😎

 

[rubans]

Classy from Drogba? Following up his original 2017 post.

I can't see it.

If he stays til he’s 36/37 he will. 5 years 17/18 goals a years.

Another big big goal for Salah who now has the most goal contributions this season and reality should have had an assist too except for the bar.

The man is incredible.

 

[Judge Jules]

"Should have had an assist except for the bar"? It's not as if it moved to get in the way.

 

[juniormember]

"Should have had an assist except for the bar"? It's not as if it moved to get in the way.

Point is he made the pass for a certain goal but for Trent’s ludicrous shot that hit the bar.

 

[Dreambeliever]

He’s moved into the top 10 of all time epl top goal scorers. Should get to 8th this season and potentially 4th if he stays next season.
Hard to see him catching Shearer but not impossible if finishes his career with us or another English team.
110 goals to go.

I have a weird feeling that we're gonna perform a lot better when Salah is away.
Not in any way saying that Salah is a problem, but it feels like the type of discussion that we'll have when he's off.
Would be typical if we just went on a crazy win streak and @binomial starts a thread with the topic being "Do we even need Salah?"

Then Salah comes back and everyone turns to shit again.

Yep that's how imagine the story goes

I hear he’s coping grief from some Muslims for celebrating Christmas.

Safer to stay in NW England then. Saudi a touch too dangerous

Saudis worship money more than God. A Christmas tree is not an issue.

Ross might come back and invoke the spirit of ‘we are better without Suarez’

He’s been getting that for years.

Forgot about that one. Wow...time flies

 

[Red Bird]

Slightly related, Karim Benzena is now nicknamed Ben Hazima (son of defeat!) May not be so green, the grass, over there.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Most assists in the top 5 leagues in Europe in 2023.

Mo Salah - 15

 

[Dreambeliever]

Top goal scorer in the league
Top assister in the league

Apparently having a shit season

😀

I was just watching the wing play on the right and thinking he was outstanding as an old school winger. If that was Foden or Doku, we maybe jizzing over it but he also has goals and pure end product. What a player.
