Mo Salah

But we'd probably sell for a packet.

Mbappe won’t be ‘free’ though - between signing on fee, wages and agent fee that’s your £150m gone. I also think that would throw the harmony of the squad out with the wage imbalance + Mbappe appears to be a little diva so good as he is I’m not sure I’d want him

Spot on Nev!

[Angryred]

Maybe, Mbappe will want to play with Mo?

How many forwards in football are as productive goal and assist wise and anywhere near as hard working as Mo (and Mane for that matter). You watch the likes of Ronaldo and Messi who are really the only ones who put up better/ similar numbers, but they are both lazy when it comes to working for the team. Mbappe doesn't have the work rate of Mo or Mane and that isa problem for our system. The press requires the forwards to press otherwise it all falls down

17 games 17 goals.

I was about to say... Closet has to be Mane.

10 goals in last 14 I think.

Useless **** though in some circles.

Shoddy......maybe he doesn't like the Closet

It was a brilliant goal last night but it's mad how they've become almost routine and maybe a bit taken for granted. Routine to watch him put a defender on his arse or even send him to the next postcode with a mere swivel of the hips or a drop of the shoulder. A bit like Robben, you know what he's going to do but like **** can you stop it.

'mare scenario for opposing defenders

[Buzzo]

That swivel of the hips was sublime. Sat the defender down with minimum fuss. I agree his magnificence is almost completely taken for granted

It is such a pain in the arse that his numbers will be affected by the AFCON.

[danperkins]

That first few yards just kills defenders and gives him that chance to get a shot off, I didn't think he played particular well last night but I still expected him to score. His strength though is absolutely ridiculous, near impossible to push off the ball. Incredible footballer with incredible stats.

When Divock came on you also got to appreciate how deadly Mo's first touch is.

I thought Divock looked pretty alive last night. He often comes on and looks a bit slow.

He did look lively. But his first touch is brutal.

At one point the ball came at him from the heavens I said to my son as it fell ‘watch to see how his first touch is’.

It bounced off his shin and he chased it out for a throw

Salahs first touch on those sort of passes is unreal.
