IDK but if they could miraculously earn UCL, you gotta figure that would solve their personnel budget problem? *not that I expect that's gonna happen
Firstly on what Salah said about Kane, it sounded a bit weird so I did a quick check. Last time Kane went 10 league games without scoring was the 19/20 season where he didn't score for 10 games. Keep in mind he missed 8 of those games with a torn muscle injury. And before that was 11/12 where there was an 11 game run without a goal... In the Championship... For Leicester City... Mo is talking shit. That said the online discourse I see on social media is pool fans aren't happy with Slot, they have no issue with Salah because unlike TAA who said he wanted to be a Pool legend before leaving and speaking Spanish on his arrival at RM meaning he knew for a while because he was studying the language. Salah only leaves if Slot pushes him out and he is painting that narrative. And if Pool were top 3, Wirtz was a midfield monster, Isak was banging in goals and it was clear that they were phasing him out to transition for life after Salah maybe the fans would be against Salah. But Pools insanely poor form means that the fans are backing Salah from what I have seen. As for Guehi, I think he is gone. Palace will make Europe but they will drop off late in the season, they are showing signs right now as it is, and end up in Europa or Conference again. Guehi will likely get offers from City, Liverpool, wouldn't shock me if we asked the question, but then also teams like Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern etc would also likely have a crack at him. He was out the door until the move was blocked late. But the Pool deal was signed on his end, and he was keen to go.
I think it's pretty clear Liverpool decided to move on from Salah while they can still get money for him They spent half a billy in the summer and also gave Salah a new stupid contract. Might as well just cut bait as he is pretty clear done at this level and any way you look at it they have to build around Wirtz and Isaak now.
One of the Saudi teams will pay up for him if they want him, and from what I have seen they do because he is very popular in that part of the world.
I got it wrong. I thought Liverpool would turn it around but they are in a freefall spiral. I am happy to see it. Pretty much everyone including myself would be surprised if they don't bring in a central defender in January. Salah will be off to the African Nations Cup and Egypt usually does well in the competition so its likely they will be in the semis or finals. This may actually help Liverpool possibly.
Yeah. Best to sell his arse as fast as possible before everyone finds out his legs are gone Oh wait - everyone already knows that Like you say, they can probably get some cash for him in the mug market where all bad contracts go to die
I wonder if he's slightly less enamored with going to Pool now, given how poor they've been so far this season, the shit that seems to be going on internally, etc. I also wonder if that might influence the speed at which he were to leave Palace, i.e. maybe not in January??
I first read that as Chelsea. Then on re-inspection see that you wrote Chicago. Chicago?? Seriously??!! Personally I can't see him going to MLS over Saudi. For one thing, MLS won't be offering him any PT before Feb/Mar, with a WC starting in June. But if he did come to USA, I'd think he'd go to a different city, maybe NYC(FC) where they're about to open a spiffy new stadium in Queens which has a big Egyptian diaspora I believe.
From The Athletic this morning: San Diego mentioned in the paragraphs before that, too, as they’re owned by an Egyptian.
Apparently Slot's pre-UCL presser is going on right now. And FWIW, on the BBC they have a general public poll which ATM looks like this...
Weirdly enough we are playing them at the best and worst time. If we had played them 5 weeks ago when we were flying we would have scored 8. But right now with our injuries, guys needing rest and rotations, getting them now is perfect because as long as we win and get 3 points I couldn't care less.
