Let’s fucking go. Goes without saying really that this is the best bit of business we have done this summer (and I love everything else we have done!).
I love Sadio Mane, an absolutely terrific footballer and a great person but let’s be real… he’s not Mo Salah. He’s not at his level. We’ve retained a player who, for about 2/3rds of last season was the best player on the planet.
Hopefully with this contract stuff finally sorted he will hit the ground running next season.
To be honest I’m actually disgusted with the amount of money we’ve paid to retain him , love Salah to bits, but no one is worth £400k pw in the real world regardless of who they are
In principle I agree, but this is Premier League football and even though it’s a disgusting amount of money - that’s what you’ve got to do at this level of the game.
At least he’s actually one of the best in the world at what he does. Jacob Rees-Mogg made in one year more than 3x what Salah will across the course of this contract and all he’s good at is looking like an Edwardian cigarette salesman.
Whats amusing is all the back tracking all across social media from supporters who have been dam right abusive for the last 6 months assuming that he was going to leave.
100%
Its probably natural to be dissapointed etc when it looked like he wasn’t signing but some stuff has been embarrassing for Liverpool supporters. The same ones who will be lauding him in September…Mane got a lot more respect, and he left.
