Pizy 18,903 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 He may believe in himself to dislodge someone from the starting spot, it's not alien for a player to believe in himself.True. When you watch Salah and analyze his strengths he really is just like Willian. Bags of pace, high work rate, and great technical ability. If the fee is between £10-12m then I can't really complain. Just wish De Bruyne could've stayed and broke into the team so we wouldn't have to get this guy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behemoth 266 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Personally, I love this signing. Definitely a Mourinho guy. You need a player or two like him on your squad. He brings something different to the table, and you can tell he's one of those emotional, fiery players who could become a fan favorite here. By no means is he a project, the man can obviously play, but there's something to be said about these hard working guys coming up through the ranks in a worse league and earning a big transfer. I much prefer that to coddled stars for huge sums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 True.When you watch Salah and analyze his strengths he really is just like Willian.

Just wish De Bruyne could've stayed and broke into the team so we wouldn't have to get this guy, though.KdB fate was sealed for me when we bought Willian, as I said before. I'm still a little unsure about Salah but if he signs he will get my backing from the off, no doubt about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kaplan- 410 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 How is he different than Schurrle, De Bruyne or Mata? Don't really understand why we're trying to sign him. Maybe it's Mourinhos tactic: buy players just so other teams can't have them; a la Willian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Football scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen thinks that Basel winger Mohamed Salah would prefer a move to London and Chelsea, rather than Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy isn't coming to be a starter. He'll soon get pissed and it'll be Mata/KdB all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 i hate being that guy who says 'we should sign him' but apparently Liverpool are looking at him for £8-12 million depending on reports. Left-footed, right-sided, CL experience....cost is Marin-Moses money, direct runner, completely unsure on workrate, young.I'm definitely not saying we should sign him but isn't he the type of player we might be looking at to fill a spot on the wings? CALLED IT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
