Mo Salah

Number1 said:
Wish he was at United, but fantastic for the Premier League. The likes of Salah/Coutinho/Hazard/De Bruyne would have been poached by Madrid/Barcelona not so long ago. All the money in the Premier League now, clubs can resist £120m offers (as seen with Liverpool last summer), so it's not so easy to poach of English sides anymore.

Both Coutinho and Hazard could very well be 'poached' this summer.

Southampton turned down £60m bids last summer, took £75m to buy Lukaku from Everton so it's not just the top English teams it's hard to buy from now, which is fantastic in my eyes, keep all the best talent in the Premier League.

Think that's not completely correct. Barca before this season had MSN upfront and no accommodation for another big money attacker, not to mention they did buy Suarez off Pool, when he was by far the best player in the league. Madrid also faced the same problem in previous seasons when they already struggled to fit both Isco and Bale in the same team. I think despite the money PL may have, as long as the players themselves see the spanish giants as their dream clubs, they won't be able to stop the move from happening. Best case it would be a Ronaldo, Coutinho like scenario where you stall the purchase for one season.

I really do not think they are going to be able to bully us or the Oil clubs. Plus they can only play 11 players at the same time so they are not going to have all of the top players.

I think coming summer will pretty much be the test. Barca will once again for Coutinho (and get him IMO), plus Madrid will shop around for players too - with Hazard and Kane at least being the likely targets.
 
Only the Second Egyptian to do so. Congrats Salooha :)

Salah is injured still I think.

Salah is not playing. If Mane was sick last weekend, I´m not sure he´ll start either. I expect Lallana - Solanke - Firmino. Maybe even Woodburn and Lallana in midfield. It´s only Everton. Just play without Lovren and everything will be fine. Lovren just gets drawn into these stupid situations. Barnes from Burnley baited him into clumsy "fouls" over and over again.

He's still scoring goals but his performances have dropped off a bit lately IMO, not sure if he needs a rest but I think it's a noticeable drop off. Those numbers are ridiculous though, has to be said.

It's because we lost the one creative midfield player we had who could spot Salahs clever runs
 
The whole team performance dropped after the city win, which is very strange really.
 
Off to Madrid hopefully. Superb player.
 
£40m for him.. sigh. He's the closest player to Messi in terms of pure dribbling ability at the moment, and he's added finishing. Didn't realise he'd improved this much as never watched him at Roma.
 
He's phenomenal. Also such a nice character off the pitch, how can anyone dislike him even if he plays for Liverpool.

He just rubbished rumors of Real on twitter. Sadly, he seems like a down-to-earth footballer like Mata who might just be happy carrying on at Liverpool, which is bad news for the rest of us.
 
Find it quite strange that the two best prem players happen to be Jose rejects
 
I still cannot believe how fantastic this signing is. 21 PL goals in your first season is just insane.
 
Thought he was wank today but got 2 goals so there you go... No doubting his quality though. Easily signing of the season

He simply isn't. Hazard is a superiror dribbler, dribbles more, completes more dribbles and doesn't lose the ball anywhere as much.

He isn't, He isn't even the best dribbler in PL and till few days back he wasn't even best in Liverpool.

He is awesome player though, very direct.
 
How many goals is he going to score? Amazing for a winger. We're talking Ronaldo levels of performance here.
 
Most productive player in the PL at the moment. Kane has 1 goal more but Salah has 5 more assists.
Salah's PL stats: 21 goals and 6 assists.
