That's probably just because it's time for your annual eye exam :-) He's a great finisher, albeit the run of bad misses he had in the beginning of the season. Stats don't lie, but of course you couldn't see them... Salah is a free roaming player, a role that does not exist in Mourinho's game plans. This is all that it boils down to, when it comes to Salah. He should have not brought him to Chelsea in the first place. I can name a dozen European teams that would beat any English team, any given Sunday, so please spare me the Italy/Spain/Germany has a weaker/easier league bullshit.

I said it before and I will keep saying it: Mourinho is a coward, and is very poor tactically.

This is the team that will start: --------------------Costa------------------- Hazard---------Cesc---------Willian -----------Ramires-----Matić------------ Azpi-------Terry------Cahill--------Ivanovic ------------------Courtois------------------

Hazard will be sold in summer, just wait and see.

Kane, hands down.

Very true, it is out of context. A fair comparison should include comparing their performance in the SAME league. But ironically, such comparison yields more troubling conclusions: ITALY-TO-ITALY-COMPARISON: Salah's First 7 Games for Fiorentina: 6 goals 1 assist Cuadrado's First 7 Games for Fiorentina: 0 goals 1 assist ENGLAND-TO-ENGLAND COMPARISON: Salah's First 5 Games for Chelsea 2 goals 2 assists Cuadrafo's First 5 Games for Chelsea 0 goals 0 assists But of course, we have to give Cuadrado more time. And of course Salah, Schuurle (best player in the World Cup, by accomplishments, goals, assists) and KDB are all shiite!!!!

Well said. As a matter of fact, I see that the only way Salah can come back to Chelsea, is when Hazard gets sold - and with a possible €75,000,000 - €80,000,000 price tag on him, I think it's likely. Hazard and Salah pretty much play the same role - with Hazard obviously being the currently way more mature and all rounded version. But at the end of the day, Hazard will always have much better ball control as well as passing skills, Salah will have the higher scoring prowess from inside and around the box.

And how on earth would you "guarantee" that? Because based on statistics, Cuadrado is not even near as good as Salah, no matter how much you and your likes argue about it: in comparison in the SAME league (SeriaA), Salah is already way better than Cuadrafo. And that's imply a FACT already. You can ague about it all you like from here till Christmas, but it won't change the fact that Mourinho f*****d up.

Yes but his problem is that he cannot finish If this is not the biggest ef-you Mourinho's ever had in his life, then I don't know what else is! What an idiot.

I like Zouma in his new position. This kid will be a Chelsea legend.

So according to a source that is very close to Salah, Cheslea CANNOT refuse to take the €18,000,000 if Fiorentina offers it. Wonder who's the idiot who negotiated this deal. Chelsea would still make money, obviously (bought him for €11,000,000), but still, seems like Fiorentina have really done great for themselves.

Correct, he can't. 4 goals from 6 on target from a total 9 shots attempted is not good enough.

Unbelievable

If that's the case then we shouldn't have signed Cuadrado. His stats were not that good in Serie A to begin with :rolleyes: . Hmmmm.

Not really. According to the deal with Fiorentina we have zero chance of getting him back if he keeps it up at this level. None.

He completely changed the team's tempo as soon as he was brought in. Almost as if he's a different player now. Bizarre. Salah now has 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 games for Fiorentina. Cuadrado had 4 goals and 4 assists in 17. Not sure who got the short end of the stick.

How is this good for us?!

Not impressed by today's 15 minutes. But then it's way too soon to judge.

Beware what you wish for.

Out of context and misleading. He is still the third leading scorer for Basel for that period, and only to two center forwards. You also ignored all the other facts. You may not like him for some reason, and that's totally understandable. But stats don't lie.

But I don't

You didn't read what I said about that, did you?

Schürrle deserved to win best player in the WC, despite the fact that I'm not a great fan. He scored 3 goals coming off the bench, and provided two crucial assists one of which won his country the trophy. I don't know of anyone in the WC who even comes close to these stats. But then best player is not awarded based on stats or science, as we all know.Salah had phenomenal stats too, until he came to Chelsea. This includes (1) scoring 4 goals in the CL last year, better than all Chelsea players in the same tournament, same season, except for Hazard, (2) has the best dribbling success rate compared to all his (former) Chelsea peers, excluding, again, Hazard, (3) scored 4 goals in his 6 games against English teams, before joining Chelsea, and, (4) has the highest scoring record in his country's history, at his age category. The fact that Scûrrle or Salah underperformed for Chelsea does not mean they're not good players. Heck it doesn't necessarily mean "they're not Chelsea material". It only means, given their out-of-Chelsa stats, that they do not fit the Mourinho system.

Recovering. And I wasn't talking about immediate transfer. Too late anyway.
