Alright well let me explain to you the situation from two prespectives: First there's the Chelsea point of view. A 22 year-old winger from Egypt, great pace and decent abilities. He is considered by many as a good squad player and useful when rotating the squad. Great option to bring in if someone is injured or suspended. Very reasonable and realistic point of view. And let's all agree that given Chelsea's current squad, he simply can't and won't be a regular. But then there's the other point of view, and the reason Egyptians are starting to get nervous. The Egyptian NT is building a new, promising side after failing to even qualify to the last two African Cup of Nations, following the 3 titles acquired in a row. Now Salah is not only a main part of that new team, but the first name on the roaster. Being at a leading club without featuring at this point will be seen as a worse option than being a regular at a smaller club. I personally think Salah will feature a lot for Chelsea this season given the length of it and the variety of competitions. And I'm glad he's staying at least till January because he has a chance to prove his worth when he does feature. But at the same time I'm nervous he might lose a lot of his form, as opposed to develop as a player which would be ideal for someone his age, which would affect the strength of our National team. So please mind the nervous Egyptians who want to see him feature, and understand that if he does decide to leave come January it will be for that reason. We logically want our star player to feature regularly for whatever team he's at.
