Mohamed Salah

[LAM09 6,556]

Describe Salah as a player as best as you can.

I know his pace is incredible and he has very good movement but what about his finishing, crossing, vision, passing and touch in general?

I know the question wasn't aimed at me, but as a fellow Egyptian; I will shed some light on what he is like.

His finishing wasn't great at the start of his career, but he has improved on that part of his game massively. Not only was he the top goal scorer in African WC qualifying, but he has scored 17 goals in 27 games for Egypt. His touch is very good, and can get out of tight spaces, his passing and crossing isn't the strongest part of his game, but he isn't bad in that field. Finally, he has good vision and is aware where players are around him, which also result in him being able to create chances for his teammates.

Why no first words interview?

Maybe he doesn't speak English? Or maybe he still hasn't arrived in England and signed the contract in France where he did the medical?

Mido is probably the best Egyptian to have played in the EPL. Now there are El Mohammadi and Naji "Gedo" (brilliant player, btw, but hasn't really been given a chance).

Sadly, Gedo has gone back to Egypt. Never got his chance in the Prem, and I don't know why.

What i see is that Salah plays good and with confidence when he gets used to the atmosphere that surrounds him. He is very fast and loves to play 1-2 a lot. So he needs good team support, team play and a matching speed as well. Crossings and passing are very accurate. He is invasive in attacks, but keeps a defensive mentality. He just needs to improve some of his finishes, needs some more work on to it.

Welcome.

Don't expect much this season as he needs to adapt but hopefully by the end of the season he will be better settled.

Welcome Mohammed.

Shame, I really like him. What he did with Egypt in 2009 was simply extraordinary. And that finish in the final of the AFCON is one of my favorite non-Chelsea goals.

[Stingray 9,441]

And to think.. there was a time when we barely even had any wingers.

We still don't have an actual winger...Schurrle comes the closest I guess.

Yup. He rocks as well !

I know mate. Still can't believe he was the top scorer at the ACON 2010 with five goals all as a substitute.

We could have done the interview in Paris with a translator.........

He does speak English, but not perfect.

Mate, it's Chelsea TV, not Sky. I doubt they have the budget for that!

Probably true,hopefully they'll conduct his interview asap.

Piazon/Moses/Marin/Salah/Schurrle/Atsu

Only 2 of them will make it here in the long term under Jose, I think it will probably be Schurrle and Salah. The rest will eventually be sold permanently
