Of course you don't he plays for Liverpool ffs.
Mo Salah
- Thread starter Robbie Boy
- Start date
I’d agree with him to be honest. You think of mid 90’s United and you think Cantona. You think of this era of Liverpool and you think of Klopp or Van Dijk.
Look I'm no fan of Salah but to say he isn't a Liverpool legend is idiotic. And arguing about who the "iconic" players are doesn't really change that, although I think many fans outside of our own don't think of Cantona the same way we do (he's many people's favorite United player ever around here).
He’s definitely a Liverpool legend, I don’t think anyone has argued that he isn’t that.
How can their top scorer virtually every year since he joined, and golden boot winner on 3 out of the last 5 years, not be iconic?? The man has virtually won everything with/for them and they worship him over there. We just don’t see it as we aren’t pool fans. He would never come to us unless his final year there is a disaster or something crazy happens. We need to think of more realistic options.
Crazy talk. He’s undoubtably a Liverpool icon and legend and he’ll be the same for the Premier League too. He’s been one of the best players for the last 5 years.
Salah is definitely a Liverpool and a PL legend.
fair, that’s further back than I went. I was looking at the icon and talisman side which the other two are how I see Liverpool, he’s undoubtedly a legend over there (depending on the circumstances of his likely leaving)
So what ? Carvajal shouldn't care about that at the moment
Interestingly Mido has just come out with his list of the top 5 African players of all time. Salah's not on it.
Pretty sure more would think Salah. But who gives a shitty - one league title PL newbies that they are
Who's mido?
Weah,eto'o,drogba, toure and maybe mane have a case to be rated higher but can't think of anyone else to be honest.
I wasn't sold initially but having watched more games he has 'it'. That innate ability to control the ball, pass (or fake a pass) at just the right second and obviously score. Slight concern on lack of young Mane/Salah type pace but as we're finding out pace is mostly meaningless unless the other team comes out. He's not slow anyway.
All of the analysis is meaningless as we are not City and cannot buy at his price range (English tax). We won't get Coutinho money for Mane/Salah.
That's 5
I know but its pushing it, not many rate mane ahead of salah.
Arguably the biggest Egyptian player to play in the Premier League before Salah

Thanks mate, I remember him now though I never watched out for him specifically.
There is a post in the ask mods thread explaining how to do it, it's recent as well so you could use that if you want to refresh your memory.
It's a good idea but very risky, as you've seen with Jota and Diaz the calibre of £35-40m players are not the same as when you bought Mane and Salah for that price. I think if you get rid of both then you really need your wide forward signing to be a big hit, otherwise you'll struggle. The safer bet is to keep one around for 2-3 seasons.
Personally I would've kept Mane instead of Salah, but a £30m return on Mane isn't so bad. But I do think your low net spend and unwillingness to spend high on wages is going to see your team decline significantly - you don't have a player like Coutinho that you could sell for big money currently to fund transfers. As such the £40m wide forwards you'll likely be looking to sign will be good but probably not great the way Mane and Salah are. Ousmane Dembele for example I think would be a great player for you but Liverpool wouldn't pay the wages he would want.
City.. already signed two forwards and according to their chairman are looking for to sign a few more.. eventually something will have to change because endlessly being able to buy players for a huge squad will guarantee you league titles most seasons.
Thanks for letting me know!
No problem!
City get a lot more goals from midfielders than Liverpool do though, you kind of need someone to be scoring 30 a season, or else sign some goalscoring midfielders.
This sort of stuff is with all due respect total nonsense.
It depends entirely on the individual player.
An Andy Carroll dropped off a cliff by about 25, whereas Ronaldo is still putting 18 league goals in at 37. There's many levels between those 2 I'll grant you
Liverpool should sell Thiago, Mane, Firminho, Salah and their high-wage backups to fund the next generation of players. Klopp is there till 2026 so 4 years is plenty of time to win a couple of major trophies.
I read that Mane is only on £100k a week? Crazy to think they've managed to keep him motivated on that wage for 4 years whilst Milner is on £140k a week - I don't blame him for pushing for a move.
Liverpool Legend?
They are in essence a very expensive cup team.
Cantona was the catalyst that enabled United to Win the league and 2 Doubles and it was only the 3 foreigner rule that stopped us doing more in Europe.
Liverpool would have won their penalties without Salah.
yes but in an overhyped underperforming team.
4 major trophies in klopps 7 seasons in charge
Essien, Mahrez, Abedi Pele. You also have Onana, Okocha, Adebayor, Koulibaly, West, Obafemi Martins and John Obi Mikel to name a few, but that’s a level below. Kanu was a good striker. And of course the great Manucho and Djemba-Djemba

Oh yeah, essien is a good shout, I don't know why always thought he's French.
Mido is an idiot, so it's not that interesting.
Yaya Toure.
Yep, it's hard to believe someone could be motivated to play an enjoyable game, being paid a mere 100k a week!
You know exactly what I mean - though having to say £100k is little money for a footballer is sickening. But when one of the best players I'm the league earns the same as Jesse Lingard and less than James Milner, there's something wrong.
I agree, but Toure was already mentioned in the original quote.
Well, we used to be an expensive cup team in the 80's. Doesn't mean we don't have legends who played in those teams.
We all hate that Salah plays for them, but don't talk rubbish!

This has been reported in several newspapers included the Liverpool Echo. Luka Modric always striked me as a humble guy, but that’s some real savage shithousery against Salah there I guess that’s why you should never speak before a final like Salah did as the only thing he achieved was to make himself an offer for banter and giving the Real Madrid players even more motivation.

Interesting next season for Salah. He has extraordinary peak, but is it sustainable in his 6th season? I feel the signs are already there, he is a good player, but may not be that effective.
In such situation, his contract demands are unjust, and LFC should not pay big big wages to a player whose peak is clearly not in future.

I find it weird how he's not even denying the contract dispute is about money. Agent has even said they are willing to accept a shorter deal, just pay him what he thinks he's worth.
Think he's off on a free next year.

Signs new 5 year 3 year deal.
