Man couldn’t trap a bag of cement or hit the target. What use is he at 9 or 10?
He can reinvent himself as a wing back for all I care, just as long as he does it in al ittihad.I think Mo needs to reinvent hinself, either as our new 9, or as a 10. He has shown he be a good playmaker if he wants to.
I can see a lot of motivation from Salah's point of view now :Agreed.
I don't see him wanting to go to Saudi.
If he was motivated purely by the money he could have kicked up a fuss and gone last year, but he didn't. And if he was waiting to see how the Saudi league progressed, there is nothing that has happened since then which would have made it more attractive.
I can see a lot of motivation from Salah's point of view now :
1. Klopp leaving
2. He'll have noticed his own decline
3. New manager won't make him an automatic starter, he'll be benched a lot more
4. Moving to a muslim country with a language he's familiar with (even if it differs) and one assumes better muslim schooling
5. Will be held in massive esteem by the fans
6. Will hugely improve his bank balance
7. Far less pressure and media/fan criticism
8. Better weather !
I'm sure there are more. It's far more difficult to make a convincing 'stay' list.
He needs to watch reruns of his performances in 2024 and he will realise it’s time to go to Allah’s waiting room.I don't necessarily think he'll want to stay at Liverpool, but the reason I think that he won't be massively interested in Saudi is because I think he will still fancy his chances of doing well elsewhere in Europe.
I have always got the impression that he is ambitious and focused on his career. The Saudi league is a retirement home and I suspect he probably isn't ready to retire.
Worth a watch, for the nervous laughters it'll bring out in you if nothing else.

The consensus seems to be to sell Salah this summer. I’ll play Devil’s advocate - if his current form is a post-injury blip and after a good pre-season he can return to the same form he had in the first part of the season until the AFCON, would he be valuable to the team?
My client’s name is Devil, not Satan.Yeah, you're right, Satan, we probably should pay the most money we've ever paid to anyone to Salah to be mediocre in overall play for the entire season, and only productive for half a season. I mean, it's not as if he's getting worse and worse over time.

Oh, and my client says Salah was widely considered one of our best players this season until the injury and statistically our best attacker by a distance. And if someone can use the disappointment of this season as motivation to come back stronger than ever, that would be Salah. What say you, your honour?
