Certainly close if not done,seems the club wants to overcook this one,
Seems to have died down since that Egyptian international bloke said it was done.
Even the press lost interest and they love to stir this.
Didnāt look like it from Virgilās demeanour post match.
His performance wasnāt very good I wouldnāt take much from that.

Imagine his numbers if he sorted out his aerodynamic haircut in his prime (and also not joined Chelsea).
Was it Lampard?

Salah is not Henderson or Fab. They were clearly falling off a cliff. Salahās stats are better than theyāve ever been! Heās on an elite level thatās only reached by a couple of players worldwide per decade. Also has an incredilbe physique and is never injured. Any comparisons are redundant

Prior to their last season, they werenāt falling off a cliff at least not to outside observers. On the contrary, they both signed new contracts, went on to have a great season with the team almost winning a quadruple, and then the bottom fell off. In Hendersonās case, his new contract was offered against the advice of the analytical department, which could see what was coming.
Anyway, the point Iām making is that the club has a lot more data to go on and the decision may not be as easy and clear cut as everyone seems to believe.

Given how much less snark and oblique comments have come from Mo and his agent this fall, and especially the past few weeks or so, Iād guess it is very close to sorted and agreed one way or another.

My biggest worry with Mo is that he always seems to come back a little bit worse for wear after AFCON.
At his age, who knows whether he recovers next time.

out of interest, if they have, why wouldnt it be announced yet?

Possibly because of the fact there are 3 and they want to make sure all 3 are aligned or at least 2.

He is. But Moās always been slightly irreligious.
Not in terms of faith etc but in other aspects.
Heās gotten quite a lot of Muslim twitter warriors offended by this post. But doubt he cares.
All this serves to point why I feel he doesnāt really want to go to Saudi Arabiaā¦ Hopefully.

A good take on this stated here, is that MO is more or less just joining in with those around himā¦ IMO, no offence was meant, and hopefully, nor should it be taken - there is enough hate in the world.
Sharing the family photo, the Red captioned it: ā#MerryChristmasā. The post showed Salah, his wife Magi and their two daughters Makka and Kayan wearing matching Christmas pyjamas sitting in front of a Christmas tree.
The Winger received plenty of supportive messages in the comments. Fans responded: āMerry Christmas to you as well Moā and āThank you Mo for always celebrating with usā. The post has been liked by over a million users including Jordan Henderson, Dejan Lovren, Fabinho, Kostas Tsimikas, Harvey Elliott, Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo.

Moās doing it for his daughters. Iāve seen loads of people slating him for that on the cesspit called X.
Not getting into religion or anything here. But if heās willing to put his childrenās happiness over being a proper whatever , that shows what a good man he is.
I donāt quite know the accuracy of this on some of the other footballers mentioned. But yeah , double standards for sure.

This is all so stupid (not the statutory rape part!). Puritans are such hysterical, deranged jackasses. Love him trolling them every December.

Photo beside a Christmas tree draws criticism.
Not mentioned in awards talk, despite being amongst the top tier performers for seasons.
Fouled against record is a continuing joke.
I could understand the whole ābecause he is Muslimā excuse if that attitude prevailed against other Muslim playersā¦Obviously I disagree with the notion that his faith mitigates against him.
I just donāt understand what the actual fuck is happening with the man. Its maybe a bit of Suarez like dislike because he is seen as the spear head of a Liverpool title challenge?

Suarez is very easy to dislike for opposition fans. But thereās literally nothing about Mo that is unlikable.

I get that.
Just donāt understand why he doesnāt get the respect he deserves.
