Mo Salah

[Exiled_red]

Finishes season as joint top scorer and top as sister in league. Good season for him

[BG1973]

I wouldn't necessarily "want" to sell salah but his dip in form is a worry.
I dont see the signs that he will recover his previous electric form and he isn't getting any younger. He turns 30 in June.
He is always edging for more money or a move, despite him saying it's up to the club, etc. Maybe he wants something that's out of our reach and so he is forcing our hand to sell him. His current contract is up in summer 2023 so either he signs or we sell, and I think he is going.

He will regain his form, no doubt about it.

But.. What we could do with 150m would bring more to the team than he can I think.

I think it's the right time for him to go.

Same for me tbf. We need a refresh up front and in midfield.

Thanks Mo

[Shaggy]

How is that incredible news

[Pablo]

Yeah he could still then leave on a free

[Maxiedge]

These questions to Mane and Salah are very opportunistic by the interviewer. Whether they are staying or not, now is not the time to detract from the final on Saturday. I think they’re both being very professional in their responses.

[Buzzo]

I think it has been a club decision to not mention contracts until the end of the season. Milner said the same.

[Kenneth]

Yeah he could still then leave on a free

Which is fine if he want to. We can’t keep the old gits forever

[Charly]

Owen said the same thing. Macca did the same thing

Means he wants to leave on a free, essentially.

Do we sell him now?

I guess it depends on who we can get to replace him. None of our current players can play on the right, and even Carvalho is left sided.

Question is, who else will want a 31 year old on 500k a week anyway?

Tbf Mbappe just ran his contract down and stayed.

Same as I thought!

He won't accept any transfer when he knows he can bag a couple more trophies with us then earn far more with a signing on fee

True, but PSG have no problems paying him ridiculous amounts to stay. We know he did not stay purely for the glory of Ligue 1.

We are statistically the best team in the world at the moment. Salah has reasons not to sign, or he would have done so by now. And they cannot be footballing, unless he wanted to try something new. But if that was the case there would be nothingto negociate.

But he knows he can get a huge wage and huge signing on fee if he runs his contract down... which is fair enough. I just wish players could be a bit more honest about it (and some are).

Of course he might still sign a new contract with us, but he will be 31 after next season and will start losing both pace and acceleration. So it may work out best for both parties.
