Chelsea have secured assurances from Salah that he did not make anti-Israeli remarks, having avoided a pre-match handshake before a game against the Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv, six months ago.

Chelsea have checked with the player and his representatives as to the veracity of quotes attributed to him. He denies saying the remarks. With the club owned by Roman Abramovich, who is Jewish, and a supporter of the state of Israel, there is considerable sensitivity around the issue.

I've held back my opinion on this since I did not want to bring politics into a football thread, but I guess we're beyond that point now, so here goes:

This is simply a case of beliefs and freedom in opinion that is being blow way out of proportion by some terrible journalism. Chelsea is a multicultural club with fans and players and staff with all kinds of beliefs and political opinions. In his culture, Salah is a hero for not doing the hand shakes in Egypt and the Arab world. That is his culture and those are his beliefs.

And the idea that Chelsea would want "guarantees" that he's not anti-Israel is beyond ridiculous when we've had players like Anelka who is publicly ant-Israel and Drogba and Eden Hazard who were from the footballers who signed the petition to not have the U21 Euros in Israel and no doubt staff that have all different kinds of political opinions and beliefs.

Of course no one at the clubs cares if he's pro or anti-Israel. It has nothing to do with football!

Closest we've come to replacing Robben ?

We're hoping he'll be anything close to that. Because so far this season, we look a different team when we attack from the right wing compared to when we attack from the left. I think its because the inverted wingers are a more crucial part of mourinho's tactics than we thought. In fact, this is the first time he doesn't have a left footed winger in so many years as manager.

Two Israeli media sources making those claims. Sounds legit...

Oh, and I forgot that Ba had signed it as well.

Look, I get your frustration. You feel targeted by the whole matter. But you must realize that even footballers have political beliefs, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the actual football they play.

Good post, media again trying to make Chelsea look like idiots. Besides, there is a difference between being anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. Ronaldo refused to swap shirts with Israeli players on international duty out of respect for Palestine, big deal. The media seem to love mixing the two up.

I would give him No. 69 since he may swing both ways, politically. :dance:

Mourinho on Salah: 'We were not prepared to replace Juan in the squad, so things [with Salah] moved very fast.' #CFC

Mourinho on Salah: 'I like how he can play the same way our attacking players do, adapting to the left/right, or as a no10.' #CFC
