Pfffft. Not even a goal per game.
Sell.

Not even worth selling - weâd have to give him a new contract first. Whatâs the word⌠worthless or priceless I canât remember which?

Heâs now only 4 goals away from Gordon Hodgson who scored 241 goals in 377 games. Salah has scored 237 in 383 games. Thatâs just an insane scoring rate in the modern game, when you consider that Hodgson was a contemporary of Dixie Dean and benefit from the goal boom following the easing of the offside rule.

And you could pretty much assault goalkeepers back then.

Arsenal still do it.

The other factor is the height of the goalkeepers these days. Elisha Scott was only 5â 10".
My fatherâs favourite player of all time and he often told me about him. As a kid I always thought it was such an exotic name

We will see what happens. As it stands, with nothing signed, heâs off. Letâs see what he decides to do. We will pay him well and he will have a chance to continue to compete for the top honors. There might be one or two teams who could offer him similar, though not many teams. Will he want the disruption/new start? And then of course he could step down a football level, or more, to take the Saudi dough.
Personally I think Mo will not have another season as good as this one. He wonât drop off a cliff, but I canât see him keeping this up. AFCON is next year too, and he has form for that disrupting him. I hope he stays, but not at any cost. And if he goes, I look forward to seeing how Slot rebuilds the attack.
The priority for me has always been in this order: Virg, Mo, Trent.

Heâs on track of smashing the 44 G+A single season record⌠but you know⌠doesnât do anything besides that.

Pffft. Heâd already have broken the record if he would pass to his teammates. Or shoot properly.

I hope he sees the value of having an AFCON-free season.

And to think some ejiits (wonât name names but a certain five star fuckwit on here) thought he should have been sold last summer to fund a replacement while the dollars were on the table.
To be fair, his form had been stagnating in Kloppâs system for the last couple of seasons. He was still scoring, but his overall contribution to the team had waned and he was going through long spells of horrendous form. Since the team was going through a rebuild of sorts, some felt that selling him to Saudi or somewhere for silly money might be a good way to finance the rebuild.
Still, Iâm glad we didnât sell him and Iâm glad he plays for us. An absolute beast of a player who will be remember as an all-time great for Liverpool and in the Premier League.

While it wasnât a view I personally held, I donât think it was necessarily a bad one.

He is in such a bizarre place in his career now. So much less of a player than he was 5 years ago, when on any measurement he was one of the very best in the game ever. So obviously in declineâŚand yet such remarkable output. Every game makes the case for letting him move on at the end of the year, and for signing him to a new contract. At some point the goals are going to dry up too, but that may not be next year. What is one more season of this production worth? Hard to think of a player you could slot in as a replacement regardless of cost.

Did anyone see the Overlap show on Tuesday where there was an expert on Transfers and contracts? He said that he thinks that the club will keep VVD and TAA but will let Mo go.
He said the club have all the info on players declining and its not uncommon for a player to have a great season in his final year, sign a new deal and then break down/decline etc.
Ive found it -

Is Salah the same player he was 3 or 4 years ago? No but his stats are off the chart. Id be amazed if he started to decline next season - he has adapted his game as I think he has become more clever and skillful. Pick and chooses his moments. His stats are far better than younger players who do a lot more running etc. Its about what you do with the ball not having the ball a lot and do nothing with it.
I still think Mo and VVD stays and TAA goes
