Mohamed Salah

Well since we are talking Egyptian players I like the most Saleh Goma!

[Christo191 173]

right...

Roman will not pay to someone who hates him....

Spot On!

what do we have here now ? The Jewish owner sign an Arab player ?

The guy has not even signed yet & some of you already designated him as a squad player ? How fucking clueless ?

[LAM09 6,744]

TBF he didn't say "of all time". He was referring to the current situation. No Egyptian would ever put him ahead of Aboutrika who's a top 3 Egyptian player of all time. Abou is old and past his prime right now that's why salah is the best Egyptian currently.

Aboutrika is now retired. Salah is the shining light for the Egyptian NT ATM, but more will follow his footsteps.

Just about I just prefer his vision and passing as well as his control of the tempo of the game.

fair enough. Aboutrika was robbed of, atleast, one African poty award. arguably the best African midfielder of all time.

Lol wut?

K, Salah is good. But replacing Mata with Sala is like replacing CRonaldo with Antonio VAlencia. We still got Moses, Atsu, Piazon etc out on loan. I doubt that Salah is so much better than those... How many AMs does a club need?

Aren't every player just normal human being with some technique and luck lol?

NO. You need to have more than just technique! Understand of the game and VISION like Hazard has. Salah is good just like Victor Moses is.

Moses is shit compare to salah any day around better player

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Seems like a brainless pace merchant with a decent eye for goal from what I've seen. Nothing particularly special aside from that.

A poor mans Walcott.

He's a winger too.

Ha!

I was just gonna say, you perfectly described Walcott.

[LAM09 6,744]

Ha!

He has just described Walcott and not Salah. LOL!

[Pharaoh 12]

Alright lets clear up a few things right now lol

I know that he's your countryman and you obviously are biased towards him. But better than Hazard?

!إنت بجد ولا فوتوشوب؟

I never said he is currently better than hazard. If you look at my post history, I joined after Hazard signed for Chelsea to just lurk and see what people were saying, and I must say I was impressed by the amount of knowledge people had of him. Nothing major but they knew his skills and characteristics. This time around it seems that people know much less about him, which is strange since he beat you guys twice.

What i said is that Salah right now is better than Hazard was two years ago. Two years ago in UCL with Lille Hazrd couldn't touch Inter's defense and looked like he was completely lost. However Salah was able to break down chelsea's defense in a home and away series. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

In the second leg Salah was lined up against Azpilicueta for the entire match and as soon as he drifted towards Ivanovic's side and found someone he could outrun, he scores the game winner minutes after. Regardless of that being a manger change or if he noticed it himself, the fact that he was able to adapt on the fly is a very rare commodity at his age.

I feel sorry for Salah on two levels.

1) Going from Mata to Salah is underwhelming to say the very least. A lot of fans with direct their anger towards this guy, but he really isn't the problem.

2) He simply won't develop properly with Hazard/Willian ahead of him. He needs constant game time and, bar a massive injury plague, he won't get that here.

How is going from Mata to Salah underwhelming? Salah's natural position is a Winger not a CAM like Mata is. So basically chelsea unloaded a CAM that they weren't using out of the 4 they have on staff, and replaced him with a Winger and gained a 26 mil pound profit......seems like good business to me.

Also, considering Jose's favorite formation that he used at Inter & Real (4-2-3-1) and all three player's versatility, I could see any of them line up as a Winger/CAM so this gives Jose millions of opportunites to rotate. but ideally I'd play them as

Hazard - Oscar - Salah

or

Willian - Hazard - Salah

Its stupid because he can't even lace Mata's boots. Mata isn't the profile Mourinho wants but hes still better than every other player we have except for Hazard possibly, we are selling Mata so we should replace him with someone just as good so we would still have a very good squad. Salah is good but hes hardly a touch on Mata.

Lol..............different position, Mata has already been replaced hence why he isn't being used since he is exclusively a CAM.

Don't get me wrong i love Mata but it's been pretty obvious he isn't fitting with what Jose wants to do so why keep him around? Instead reinforce a position that is crucial to his favorite formation?

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

He's a winger too.

I know, but in a 4-2-3-1 we got 3 AMs, one left one right, one central.

Anyway. I hope mou knows what he is doing exchanging Juan fuckin Mata with some random Egyptian speed merchan, who only impressed in those 4 games vs us.

[The Skipper 20,593]

LOL! Salah was better than Hazard was two years ago? This is ridiculous.

Let's completely forget that Hazard was player of the year in France. Salah hasn't even achieved that in Switzerland.

Only impressed against Chelsea... Wake up please. Just look at this international record of starters. He HAS proven himself on the World stage.
