He has been good with France as Deschamps seem to rate him just like Southgate used to select Henderson ahead of much better players. He has not pulled any trees anywhere else as teams in Europe now are wise to his mother’s lies.

I don’t think it is lies, but her overbearing behaviour and insistence on intruding into training and other team matters. He just isn’t worth the baggage and the massive pay demands. Which is why I can see ManU panicking and bringing him in against the better judgement of some of their staff.

Can you imagine how embarrassing it must be for him?
I used to be mortified if my mum picked me up from footy practice.

Yeah, there are likely a few teams who won’t touch him with a bargepole because they don’t trust the mentality of a man turning 30 still that much under his mother’s thumb.

I have found the funniest part of coaching a high school team to be the total embarrassment of the kids getting into their entirely normal parents’ cars.

She is his agent. Her conduct has been considered difficult and at times inappropriate for any agent, but it does mitigate a bit the criticisms insinuated by referring the her as his mum, as if that is the capacity in which she is sticking her beak in.

About time too, although of course I have to wonder how Football Insider is aware of such things.

I am surprised you asked. If they are not aware of these inside news, they would be named Football Outsider, don’t you think?

BBC picked up on Mo,too,that would get it around!

Maybe you’re referring to the BBC headline for its Gossip page, which says ‘Liverpool to open Salah talks’ which is just a reference to what’s in the Gossip page, i.e. the ‘Football Insider’ claim.

Summary of football “journalism”. Sad thing is that’s also infecting journalism in other areas.

its maybe an interesting insight into how little the football world has really progressed in regards to womens involvement…you hardly ever see dads/brothers/strangers getting so much shit for being agents, but a fully grown man chooses his mother to assist with his affairs and all bets are off…

I think in this particular case it might be justified. She once walked into the French dressing room and confronted Deschamps for not picking her son. That’s a hard reputation to live down. With family it can be a mixed bag. I remember we didn’t go for an Anelka permanent deal because his brothers were difficult to deal with.
