Mohamed Salah

Ballack and Cole were big names.

Drogba and Essien had good performance in french league. (Essien was perhaps the best player for Lyon).

Ferreira and Carvalho were UCL winners with Jose.

To me Salah does not sound like that.

Essien, Ballack - i'll give you that but Drogba? Easy now to say that he was gonna be successful here because he's gone on to establish himself. At the time he was signed there was so much uncertainty around him and his first season here was nothing special. Also with Cole, weren't there a few at the time who thought that Arsenal got the better end of the deal?

We don't know what the future lies for Salah. What we do know is that this is a risk free signing with potential. He might come good or he might not but there's no way of predicting.

And.... was Cole even all that good in Mourinho's first stint here?

Exactly, all big names at the peak of their careers. Salah is 21. I don't see you act so judgemental over Hazard or Courtois.

Well, and to end my post, I sadly predict Salah to be one of those typical Mourinho's signing: Maniche, Jarosik, Sidwell, Wright-Philips, Ben Haim, Pizarro. Deja-vu.

To be fair, Deja Vu was never given a real chance with the first team..

He is too one dimensional player to suceed at top club. He has pace, but no strength, only decent passing, good dribbling but bad ball control. And his decision making is not the best.

Give him time I will, but wouldnt bet he will succeed properly here. Hope Im wrong though.

He needs to start playing more minutes. We saw what Schurrle could do last week, Salah also deserves his shot.

Oscar, Willian & Hazard all look burnt out. Not saying he should start in the CL or against Top 6 teams, yet. But there's no reason he shouldn't be getting starts against the likes of WBA & Fulham.

He played well considering this is a brand new team and players barely know each other. A good match for him but he could have done better.

Good then. He's probably a little out of rhythm considering how little he's played since January...

He looked really happy and excited. I know it may not mean much to you since you come from the land of great Euzebio :), but i think his teammates were giving him a strong moral boost cause as you know this is the first Egyptian to play for a top English team. Hopefully not the last :)

Nah man, I get it, this is always exciting. I think that by the start next year he'll be a crucial member! That's pretty big, I thought there might have been someone before him... Hopefully he opens the gates for you guys. I'm gonna PM you about something, hope you don't mind.
