Mohamed Salah

[nazzab 180]

Come on.. Don't use my words against me

I said he was a disaster in the first 45 minutes, which he was. At Chelsea he would be sitting on the bench after a first half like that. In the second half he was much better.

Also, by saying he is the "same old Salah" I meant he still has his mistakes. 4 goals in 6 games is impressive but people who haven't seen him playing for Fio could think that he's playing like Messi. Well, he's not.

He obviously wants to prove his class and this loan seems to be working but he's still got plenty to learn.

I'm sure Salah would have scored more goals than Willian if he'd been a starter but at Chelsea it's just not enough. He has to increase his passing accuracy, help the wingback more effectively etc etc.

salah is 22 years old , so yes he has alot to learn

but regarding the passing accuracy

Salah passing accuracy in the last game against inter-milan was 100%

and you can check it ...

How many of his games have you actually watched since he moved?

Goals win games, and that's what he is doing. This shit about work rate over everything else is rubbish. He is the best RWF we have on our books, and that's that.

I watched the Spurs games and against Sassaulo, so 3.

If scoring goals would be the most important thing we would have Schürrle and Salah, not Willian and Cuadrado..

He scores goals, which is nice, but at Chelsea you have to fit in and work like an animal. Even Hazard gets berated if he didn't do his job.

I'm not trying to convince you that Salah has been shit, he clearly hasn't, but don't think that he woke up in Florenz and became a world class. He's not ready (yet?) to play for a top side. I couldn't see him at Bayern, Real, Barca or United, but he is very young, he can easily become much better.

97% and 100% for Fio is fine but it was more like 60-70 for us. That's exactly why I'm saying that he should be there. Let's hope he will play and improve a lot till next summer. He seem to be a nice guy, I would love to see him back but only if he's ready, because this season he obviously wasn't.

Schurrle had more shots on goal than goals for starters.

He has supposedly transformed since he moved to Fiorentina, but that isn't the case. Regular playing time has been the key for him since his move, and that's obvious.

His ability has never been in question for people who have watched him throughout his career, but by people who watch him for 20 mins and form an unjust opinion.

Finally, how can you be "ready" when you hardly play?

20 minutes? He started 6 matches in a row in the Premier League last season but didn't play good at all... He was also weak during the preseason. We are a top side, one just can't get too many chances and Salah has already got a few. Schürrle and Willian had some poor games last fall so it was up to Salah.

He will be ready when he become mature enough to calm down and play as good as he can because he was clearly underperforming at Chelsea. You are right, he hardly ever played, but he did have chances.. COC, CL.

Edit: do you really think it's unfair to say that Salah needs to improve? I really like him but Fiorentina is a club where he should be.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

See this as more of a development loan, tbh. I think he'll come back, who wouldn't want to play for Chelsea? Plus we tend to have a good record with loaned/ex players (Lamps doesn't count) for example, Andre.

I have to say that unless this s the plan then Cuadrado was a rather short sighted buy...

He is far from the the full article, but to say he is EL level player is an insult. Also, I'm referring to this season. He hasn't had a run of 2-3 consecutive games.

I'm not so sure. I think Juan is just another quick fix that will be a waste of money.

[edetarod 2,155]

so he was the Egyptian Messi afterall ?

[cosmicway 1,333]

He is ok in Fiorentina.
But will Cuadrado prove good enough or we exchanged two equal quantities ?

How is it an insult. Nothing wrong with playing at a strong europa team , and its not like he could play for a champions league giant at this stage.

On loan is fine, but he is at least CL quality. I never said he is starter quality for Barca, Bayern, RM, but he is compared to Willian. Until the moment we get a WC RWF, he'll always be a better option (for me anyway).

Well fiorentina are close to cl qualification, so there's not much difference.

I'm just not sure if he is ready, to play for a team that is normally afforded little space

My comment wasn't against the team, but the level of competition (EL). Fiorentina have been in the CL in recent times, and their current form could lead them to qualification.

The last bit could be true, but we won't know either way till next season at the earliest.

You are killing me. friend Even if I write something positive about Salah you take it as an insult. I have never said that "he is EL level". I said Fiorentina is the right place for him NOW. He's already played in the Champions League and I think it's better to play in the EL than sitting on his butt on weekdays. They play 2 matches every week, Montella's style suits him and the other players already trust him, they pass towards him a lot. If he is good enough he will grow out Fiorentina.

A bit off, but EL is pretty good this year so we shouldn't use it as a swear word anymore. Teams take it more seriously because the winner goes to the Champions League now. Good oppurtunity for teams like Fio, Everton, Sevilla etc.
