Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Montella's future is reportedly uncertain at Fiorentina. If he leaves and the new manager doesn't fancy Salah, we would still have him. Alternatively, if Mourinho convince Salah to stay, then it won't matter whether Fiorentina activate the clause, no?1st option is possible, new manager might want his own signings. 2nd option isn't so likely imo. Unless Salah is really determined to play a top club and risk spending months on the bench again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,941 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Pretty sure it was reported months ago that Fiorentina exercised the option to extend his loan for another season with an option to buy a year from now, wasn't it? Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he'll stay there for another season, if Mou still thinks Juan is the answer.Edit - http://en.starafrica.com/football/chelsea-will-not-sell-salah-to-fiorentina-for-less-than-20-million-euros.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Salah is really determined to play a top club and risk spending months on the bench again.I agree. Hence why I said 'if' though. Never know with Mourinho particularly when we are lacking in the AM area.Pretty sure it was reported months ago that Fiorentina exercised the option to extend his loan for another season with an option to buy a year from now, wasn't it?Key word there - 'reported'. No official confirmation that they have actually activated it. Think Fiorentina are waiting till the off season before they decide, especially when Montella could leave the club.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 It's frustrating seeing him stuck in that RW role when the opposition just waits for him, no way he'll get something significant out of that position. I'm sure it frustrates him as well. It's not his position and its so obvious.I'm ok with him at RW in the big games or the more challenging games for more stability and control, and the push he gives for counter attacks, but in the other games Mourinho need to find something else, for him and for that position. kellzfresh, OhForAGreavsie, Bluelsthecolour and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakez 755 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/zhmg32O.gifvWill Mourinho allow him to express himself like that next season? It is not the first time he does this kind of stuff for Brazil (that elastico). Also judging from r/soccer, he played better than Neymar for large portions of the game. For the past 2 years it seemed like he was on strict orders not too try anything fancy. Hope that changes now that we won the league.

Hope that changes now that we won the league.Willian was already playing with a lot of swagger in the final months of the season.Anyone claiming he performed better than Neymar, in any capacity, can not be taken seriously. Willian was solid in his distribution and he was involved throughout the match, but he failed to threaten goal yet again as one of the attackers, and was lacking in imagination. Neymar was the one creating space and causing havoc with his dribbling and trickery. Neymar was the one setting up opportunities for his team mates. He was the one making intelligent runs, threatening goal (unlucky not to add a goal to his total) on quite a few occasions. He scored the equaliser and provided the game-winning assist, displaying amazing vision with a wonderful pass that took out the entire defence, zipping through the tightest of spaces. His performance was the best individual performance of the tournament by far, carrying a very average Brazil side.Maybe Willian is the one who should play in midfield, alongside a holding midfielder. The Fernandinho and Elias pairing is painfully poor for a side like Brazil. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have the dribbling ability & chaos factor of Hazard, he's obviously not going to get you goals seeing as he struggled in that aspect even in nothing Leagues over in Ukraine/Russia & there isn't an ounce of creativity in that body of his.Our fans love him because he works hard, does the basics well & have somehow convinced themselves he gives us balance, but outside his comfort zone he's always going to get exposed. He's a non risk taker which is the worst kind of player imaginable. Sheva. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Yep he's played very well in the last couple of months here, but nowhere to be seen last night. Neymar did some tricks from now an then, but other than that it was a flat and soulless Brazil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
