Mo Salah

Language and culture comes into play there. Many of the South American players will have Spanish as their langauge and some similarities in culture.


Whereas a lot of the better Africa players will have English or French as a language and often start in the French, Swiss or Belgian leagues before moving to the Premiership or Bundesliga as their big/dream move.

It's odd that the Brazilian lads don't clamour for moves to Porto or Benfica considering Spanish is different to Portuguese

Coutinho speaks spanish as well as portuguese if you want to talk about just one player, and I said many South American players will have spanish as a language.


Also a lot of Portuguese speakers can understand spoken spanish pretty well

There's also a bit of history between Portugal and Brazil. Brazilians are treated like **** by the Portuguese and the Portuguese are the subject of 'Irish' jokes in Brazil.

African players don't have the hard on for Spain like the South Americans do they ?

He's been quoted as saying he would like to play for Real one day - I think that was when he as at Roma

proper prince charming

[frank the tank]

Is he definitely out tonight

[Doc_Piptorious]

Is he definitely out tonight

Think it was reported a couple days ago that he would be out for up to two weeks.


So if that is accurate he should hopefully be coming back just about the time of the City game on the 14th

More reliant of him now the magician has left. Not just him though but without Phil to unlock tight defences we’ll be reliant on individual class at times to get us home.

Yup, the problem for me is.... who is going to get the ball to him or pick those runs out?
