The interview made that reasonably clear. Amazed the interviewer didn't go after his comments

That cunt face Hughes is gonna have fun pitching the alternative to that other cunt face who's never around.
"Yes John, because you didn't want to give Salah a new 2 year 36m deal we have to SPEND 40-50m on Bakayoko AND pay him a 100k a week"
"No John, we can't just replace him with Harvey Elliott and forget about it....the fans are gonna think we're even bigger cunts than we already are"
you don’t think his agent would be shouting from the rooftops if they weren’t happy with the situation?
for all we know the agent has made it clear he won’t be taking a pay cut and won’t sign anything less than a 3 year deal, if not he’s off to SPL. then the only play we have if we don’t want to pay that is to make him sweat, banking on him ultimately wanting to stay and softening his demands.
Celtic?

I'm not sure Salah wants a move to Saudi.
He wouldn't be left alone and I don't think he wants all the attention that comes with it.
Honestly Saudis aren't very much liked by many other Arabs or Arabic speaking people.
i don’t think he wants to go either but that’s the card his agent will be playing and probably one of the fallback options
I don't want to give him a new contract. Definitely not for three years.
He hits every season running. He's a beast. He also falls off massively in the second half. We blow up our wage structure to get around a half to two thirds of a season with him at the required level for him to work in the season. Perhaps we can manage his minutes, but I don't see him being ok with that. I don't give a fuck about our wages but our cheap owners do.
My opinion on Salah didn't change when he was playing well last season, nor when he was playing badly. Why would you base your thoughts on a player to a reaction to three games, when we've been watching him for years?
What I will say is that the way we are playing so far is more conducive to his success now that his endurance and speed have declined, and probably more conducive to most footballers who aren't crazy explosive or fast. We get runners behind him and find passes. We ask him to be the second pass in a move, rather than use him as an outlet ball and expect him to win off the dribble, or play off the shoulder.

It’s criminal there has been zero talks so far.
And he’ll continue to adapt his game and produce the same numbers for 3 more years and people will still find cause to slag him off.
Genuinely in the top 3 of our all time players and still producing at the very highest level week in week out.
Insane how any fan targets getting rid of him as a positive step forward.
He’ll be contributing at the top level for years to come and I desperately hope it’s here.
No he’s fucking not.
So even though we don’t need his explosive pace anymore and the style of play suits his sensational ability to pick a pass, set up goals and score them, and his the embodiment of a player who will be in super shape well into his late 30’s, you don’t think we should give him a contract?
So our arguably our greatest ever attacker who is still dominating our goal contributions shouldn’t continue with us?
Ha ha. If he wants a contract I’m glad he’s aired it.
What a performance against our biggest rivals.
He’s turned a fixture many dread into one we have all come to love after 90 mins.
We broke the record for a visiting team scoring in consecutive games at OT with 8.
Salah has done it for 7 games on the bounce.
Legend!
7 on the bounce is great but for me when I saw 10 goals in his last 7 games at OT - that is even more impressive. Frankly it's amazing.
I reckon they're right (not something I regularly say about the "Grauniad", but there you go). The smoke signals around it all seem to back up the idea that he'd prefer to stay, as they did last time there was a hoohah about his contract.
It’s possibly a tactic - him talking about it suggests he possibly wants one, which MIGHT strengthen our position.
We can offer him a good wage, champions league football, a chance to win trophies and a chance to really solidly his posits one of the club & league’s greatest players.
Saudi can offer him more money, but much less prestige. There aren’t many Euro clubs that will match his wages and could match the opportunities to play champions league.
He can't talk about them perhaps but he obviously knows what's going on so his words carry weight.
Considering I grew up hoping anyone would score at OT and put Murphy on a pedestal for scoring 3 winners in 3 visits, what Mo has done is simply insane. We’ll never see the likes again.
I hope it’s not his last pillage of OT.
Not what he was employed to do. It's stupid but that's the contract of employment he signed.
Zero chance there's been no new talks but also zero chance there's been talks to keep him on the same salary
