January 26, 201511 yr That incredibly ugly Portuguese midfield fella? If I could remember his name, I could look up who signed him, no idea now.
January 26, 201511 yr Shaun Wright Phillips? £21m must be £30m+ today. 4 goals in 81 league appearances.
January 26, 201511 yr Maniche, Sidwell, Pizarro and Ben Haim were all free. Boularouz is a good shout but Salah's done nothing in a year.
January 26, 201511 yr Maniche, Sidwell, Pizarro and Ben Haim were all free. Boularouz is a good shout but Salah's done nothing in a year. how many games Salah got in a year? Edited January 26, 201511 yr by lito
January 26, 201511 yr Maniche, that's the one. Quite useless.Had one decent game, which is around the same amount Salah has had.
January 26, 201511 yr Maniche, Sidwell, Pizarro and Ben Haim were all free. Boularouz is a good shout but Salah's done nothing in a year. boularouz at least had one amazing game where he marked ronaldino out of a game. Salah has had zilch .
January 26, 201511 yr boularouz at least had one amazing game where he marked ronaldino out of a game. Salah has had zilch . True... but he always made Robbie Keane look like Messi.
January 26, 201511 yr Too many, he's jank. Not too many, last season he started 6 games and had 2 goals 1 assist, this season he started only 3 games and had 2 assists, that's not bad compared with Willian stats imo.
January 26, 201511 yr Not too many, last season he started 6 games and had 2 goals 1 assist, this season he started only 3 games and had 2 assists, that's not bad compared with Willian stats imo. His assists are against League 1 opposition. I think we've found his level. He's comfortably the worst player in the team every time he plays. He's proper sh*t.
January 26, 201511 yr His assists are against League 1 opposition. I think we've found his level. He's comfortably the worst player in the team every time he plays. He's proper sh*t. He was decent last season his assists and goals are against Premier League opposition, he played very well against sporting lisbon this season also, simply he's lacking match fitness, one match in a month not enough to gain match fitness.

January 26, 201511 yr He was decent last season his assists and goals are against Premier League opposition, played very well against sporting lisbon this season also, simply he's lacking match fitness, one match in a month not enough to gain match fitness. He has never been decent, he's not had one good game since he signed. He did nothing against Lisbon except over hit the final ball like he always does. He's simply not good enough and shows nowhere near enough in quality to how any reason he should get game time ahead of Willian, Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, Ramires or Remy. He's the worst player in squad, comfortably. Anyone who comes in is going to be a massive improvement. He was signed as a stop gap to allow us to sell Mata but not be short on options. One year on we are rightly looking to get shot of him so we can bring someone better in.
January 26, 201511 yr Shadow of the player he was for Basel. Whenever I saw him play against a PL team in the CL or EL he would cause them all sorts of problems.
January 26, 201511 yr He was decent last season his assists and goals are against Premier League opposition, he played very well against sporting lisbon this season also, simply he's lacking match fitness, one match in a month not enough to gain match fitness. Match fitness wasn't the problem on Saturday. He simply couldn't control the ball, when he strung a couple of touches together he'd make the wrong choice...just awful. He picked up a bit in the second half when he had a nice shot cutting in from the right but that was about it. His assist was good but it was amazing Jose kept him on at half-time.
January 26, 201511 yr So, Aaron Lennon comparison looking pretty spot on although to be fair, I think Id prefer Lennon
January 26, 201511 yr So, Aaron Lennon comparison looking pretty spot on although to be fair, I think Id prefer Lennon I was actually thinking the exact same thing on Saturday. Watching Salah and you realise that he's all about pace. There's no great footballing brain under the hood, no flair, no imagination. He's still young so maybe he can get better, but players like Traore, Boga and Musonda are already better footballers than him.
January 26, 201511 yr I suspect when he was coined "The Egyptian Messi" someone was taking the piss entirely.
January 26, 201511 yr Rob Beasley has tweeted Salah will be sold and it will be announced after the Liverpool game. Mentions him by name, so maybe more credible than his usual cryptic bullsh*t
January 27, 201511 yr Are u saw the match? Yes I did see the match, not a highlights reel. Salah is terrible, not a team player at all, he gets the ball then puts his head down and dribbles (left foot only of course). He may get some assists, the old goal here and there but he is not a player you want for a cohesive team, certainly not a team competing at the level we are.
