But either way my point has always been that no matter who we bring in he will be a serious downgrade on what we have now. I get their hesitancy over his age, but he is still playing at a very high level and still our most important player. I think he's worth the money it would cost to keep him for what he brings to the team.
I somewhat agree, but its not like we can give him a blank check. None of us know what Salah's people are demanding, but we shouldn't be offering him more than two years.
I agree, but we also have to be realistic that if we want to compete with the top clubs we have to pay top salaries if we want to be trying to win the league(which personally i don't think FSG give a fuck about winning the league, they just care about top 4 so CL money keeps coming in). De bruyne is on 400k a week and i think he's either the same age or older than salah. Haaland is about to get a ridiculously high new contract. You want the best players you have to pay top wages. How many right wingers out there are better than salah? But i agree only a two year deal because of his age.
Yeah I mean it's a business. Winning trophies is just a bonus I guess.
I mentioned something after the Bologna game about why he rarely wins free kicks. It’s was all to see at the end of today’s game. He gets into fights with the defenders when he doesn’t need to do it. Backs in and backs in then falls down. Usually we only see the fall down on tv. Not Salah initiating it. It infuriated me.
Did you order chicken for dinner?
He does it every time though.
He won a few, he beat his man a few times and that quick turn still works. Not as effective as it was but then he is 32. Surely you can recognise, that pass to Jones for the goal was sensational. Whom else apart from Trent can play something like that ?
Good for us!! Very very few can do what he does year on year.
I haven’t said he was shite or anything about his overall game today. I was pointing out that shit he does pisses me right off. It was the late 80s of game at 2-1 with a gobshite ref. His antics basically gave the ball straight back to the opposition. It’s something he doesn’t have to do yet drags himself down to it. For every time it works 6 fail. So stop doing it.
I wasn't suggesting you were the one whom said it was rubbish but just an odd game to pick out Salah, I thought he was excellent even neutrals can see the value in his general game today. Some other games maybe but today he was involved throughout. That pass to Jones was just brilliant alone, critical point in the game. Jones comes in from deep and asks for the ball to be played into exactly in the position he wants it and Salah delivers. He also had the shot for the Jones penalty.
Yeah he was, I thought was going to be one of those games where their defenders would have the better of him and he would look non effective. Colwill had the better of him then suddenly started looking ragged for a period of 20 mins in 1st half, thought he should have taken the shot on for the penalty call but wasn't clear on TV whether he was waiting for contact or Colwill just went into the back of him.
