I think a loan would do him some good.

To where?!

He was at Basel for two years, and he was their star performer in Europe. He needs to be given a chance, and not judged on three preseason matches, whilst he has been fasting!

A premier league side where he can play every week and develop more.

Should stay in the squad, please don't judge him while he's fasting.

Fasting is not an excuse. He's a professional athlete who should look after his body the best way he can.

Fasting during pre-season is moronic.

Look at Lukaku. People are to fast to past judgement!

Religion is more important than anything else. I see people see the world differently!

Stop shitting on other people's religions

Stop moaning about me expressing an opinion. He's an employee of this club and he's not preparing himself for matches to the best of his ability.

People love to use his religion as a defence but don't actually want discussion about that defence? Silly.

Lukaku has played out his loans and showed what he was worth. That is what I want for salah. Him riding the bench here, and getting a second here and there, is not good for him. He hasn't covered himself in glory so far and this is before any of his true competition even shows up(atsu and Moses) next week. Nobody wants to see him waste away on the bench.

I agree with you that fasting is not an excuse at all, (though he has no energy what so ever since dawn till sunset), but fasting during pre season is not moronic mate. He is religious that is all. All people (Mulsims) do work while fasting. But he should still do much better. Bad performance for two straight games.

Most people are still unsure about Lukuka as we speak. I get your point, but I personally don't think it will do him any good. He isn't a youngster we bought ala Lukaku, but a player who is a regular for his NT.

Pre-season is about fitness. How on earth can a player work on their fitness to the best of their abilities without a proper diet and being properly hydrated?

Egypt took back its land while they were fasting during Ramadan. Algeria gave Germany the toughest game of their world cup campaign while they were fasting. Plus, we have 3 more days remaining till the end of Ramadan. So it is no big deal as far as building fitness is concerned.

[romeeh 139]

Well last day in fasting is next sunday so will be no more execuses ... for me i will start judge him after sunday

[zolayes 14,489]

a poor pre season so far but not lets quit on the guy yet

[Jase 43,479]

Even though Salah's performances in pre-season haven't been too convincing, one shouldn't go OTT with the criticisms or write him off just because of that. I mean, Marin performed rather well in two pre-seasons ago and look what happened. Should never read too much into pre-season performances, whether it's good or bad.

Very ignorant of you. Ramadan is a very important month for Muslims. Theres only 4 days left. I dont see the issue here.
