Mohamed Salah

Salah will probably be Mourinho's next SWP...

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Another pointless signing by the club.

Has Thorgan Hazard (best player in Belgium) and Lucas Piazon (best player in Holland) on loan. Signs mediocre Egyptian winger from a much weaker League. Lets not forget selling KDB when we're letting Mata go only a week later.

Probably a reason why Liverpool want this player. It's their type of signing. Do we really need him when we just signed Traore?

Chill out Jason lol. I know a lot of us are upset over Mata but it's not as if Salah is directly replacing him if he does end up joining, which is looking increasingly likely. Give the guy a chance lol. Look how that initial Willian apprehension by some fans turned out.

Nothing in relation to Mata leaving. Just saying that Salah's role, should we sign him, would be similar to SWP's previously. Whether he will be successful or not is another issue.

Ah okay! My bad lol

I have learned my lesson not to trust people on here lol. "Willian is terrible. Negredo is not Chelsea level. Suarez is a Liverpool standard player."

How bad can this guy be really? he's very fast and scored 3 times against us in the past 2 seasons. If he signs, yay, a good option to have on the bench.

And hopefully he settles in well and helps the team.

I don't think anyone said Willian was terrible - the signing at the time just didn't make sense to a few people - it had nothing to do with his talent. Negredo and Suarez were signed to challenge for the first team, not as squad players.

My main gripe is that he isn't much better than some of the loanees we have out there already, so signing him as a squad player for £16m would be annoying seeing that Bertrand Traore, Piazon or Atsu could have a similar impact too.

If anything he's a replacement for De Bruyne, not Mata. Mata's transfer, if it goes through, will either be used on a world-class striker (potentially Rooney) and/or Shaw.

Yeah people here overact.

I still believe that if the player is very limited, but has the work rate and mindset of someone like Azpilicueta, Mourinho will love him and he will be a great tool for us.

BREAKING: Mohamed Salah's consultant has informed Eurosport offices that the Basel star will sign for Chelsea, NOT Liverpool.

[Strike 7,217]

Is there anyone on here who's seen him in other than the 4 games he played against Chelsea?

[DH1988 1,273]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Please be true!! What a star this kid can be...

[quickpassnmove 924]

don't understand why some dislike purchase of Salah. very good player, it seems.

I still think Oscar will not remain an "attacking midfielder" forever. He seems to be gaining some weight recently which will help him in center midfield ITF.

Reus >

Di Maria >

Draxler >

Still looks very slim to me...

[Jype 6,398]

Cool. If we get this guy, we'll have Hazard, Oscar and Willian as clear first choices for the three AM positions with Schürrle (LW) and Salah (RW) as backups, both of whom are very much the kind of players Mourinho likes to use. If Oscar gets injured or rested, Jose can play Hazard or Willian down the middle and the team has an opening for one of the wingers to prove themselves. In my opinion that's the kind of balance we should be looking for instead of having too many players who possess completely different kind of qualities and who all expect to be guaranteed starters

I wouldn't be against bringing back Bertrand Traore either because he looks a cracking player already at 18 but I don't know, maybe it would be a little cuntish thing to do if the club just recalled him now after Vitesse have already made plans for Traore and how they're going to use him this season when they're looking to win the title.

[Jusek 2,031]

Looks like a Mourinho type left footed right winger.
