What a great news I was depressed today but it has lifted me no end and now I can imagine how pissed off our rivals are double elation for me!
Weāre in Bangkok in a few weeks lads, pretty sure heāll be playing the whole of pre season with his top off.
Hereās a semi for your semi
This is fantastic. Justā¦ perfect.

cunt.
Mo currently sits in ninth place on our all-time goalscorers list, with 156.
Three more seasons means heās almost certain to pass Stevie (186) and move into fifth; the question is can he reach fourth-placed Billy Liddell (228) in three years?
Great news this, finally put all the chat to bed and get on with getting him back on form and firing again next season.
Also means we can concentrate on midfield recruitment next summer and not be worried about having to replace Salah too. I mean, he could still leave next summer but weād be getting a nice fee for him now if he did go.
You can also understand why the club looked at it and thought they could only go to that level for one of Salah or Mane but not both. Itās a huge step up in terms of our top earner and will see the next raft of contract extensions become that bit more expensive but such is the cost of having some of the worlds top players.
Loving the dig at his agent on Twitter too. Has Salah ditched him then or do you think the tweet his agent put out was completely unrelated and theyāre all having a laugh about using that as part of the announcement? Canāt think the agent would be happy if he wasnāt in on it.
I think heās probably just rushed his tweet. His article says the contract is to 2025.
Excellent news!
Q: Now how much can we flog him for?
A: Hopefully 100 goals and zero lbs in three yearsā¦
Itās only an average of 24 goals a season to draw level, so yes I think he has an excellent chance.
Heās on 23, 31, 31 in the past three seasons.
I say sell him to PSG for 200m
200m lbs or kgs?
Iāve just watched that goal against City again. That alone is worth a new contract, itās as good as any Messi scored.
I have the feeling the club and agent were all in on it.
Anyhow Ward deserves some kudos I would assume, itās not been a bad first summer.
Love how we announce this same day Richarlison leaves Everton.
Imagine being an Everton fan right now.
Letās take a moment.
Phwoar
The fact it is only 3 years is great insurance against Salah becoming a millstone around our necks if he deteriorates.
Opposition fans will try to draw comparisons between this and the way Arsenal and United have conducted business in recent years, but the differences are obvious. This is a far lower risk, higher reward outcome.
Yep, made this point elsewhere, itās pretty much the perfect position for the club - we ensure we definitely get the benefit of his peak years (and given his fitness record and professionalism I do see him having a long peak), so if he sees this one out and leaves on a free we can feel pretty happy, or maybe he does a Milner and extends again on lower terms. I think the former scenario is more likely but if/when it happens I doubt anyone could really have a problem with it.
