Is Salah Finished? | Trabzonspor player... yes you read it right

Saudi must have Liverpool over a barrel. The player wants out and no other club is going to take him on at 400k a week.

Hopefully the fee will be more like £30-40m.
He's an old guy a couple of seasons from retirement. They won't have been expecting a big fee, but I still reckon they'll get one.
 
Unfortunately Liverpool always sell well. Bruno was talked about at 100m, I would guess 80m and a huge wage off the books for Salah.
We've just got to hope they buy another Wirtz with the money.
 
He has a point though. Everyone is playing shit, why is he the fall guy?

He is being used as an excuse as to why the coach can’t coach and the club are letting it happen after all he has done for them.

I think he is right to be aggrieved. Slot wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near a PL title without him.
 
He can whinge all he likes. He's playing shite and was dropped. Doesn't matter what you did 5 years ago, or 12 months ago, if you're playing shite now, you deserve to be dropped. He's not played well since March.

They'll probably still get 100m from SA for him.

Surely he can't give it the big I am then waddle off to an non entity cash league like Saudi?
If he was simply after the money he'd have done that last summer as a perfect way out as a title winner off a big personal season?
 
Surely any move to Saudi will be free.

Just get shut of a problem player and his wages will be the most important thing for Liverpool you'd have thought after this.
 
I mean, they've scored as many goals in their last 3 games since dropping Salah as they did in their previous 7 before dropping him.

It might just be that while the attack is underperforming relative to the individual talents they undoubtedly are, that the problems in the team lie elsewhere.

If only!
It'd be money, we just hope they're smart enough to now see they're not getting the Premier league's most in form player, they're getting one really out of form who is potentially dropping off alarmingly.

Depends if getting Salah for them is about ability or politics and PR.
 
Sad end to a brilliant time at Liverpool. Hopefully he’ll leave in January and do well in another league.

They have also played two of the bottom 4 teams in the league during the time after playing a lot of the best ones.
 
As soon as they started losing he would be thrown under the bus, especially after the money they spent.

Big shame as he's a legend for them.
 
Well in his eyes he still is a top player. I think most Liverpool fans asking for him to be dropped meant that he should be rotated just like other attackers. I don't know a single Liverpool fan who can justify having 3 games in a week and not starting him in any. That's just madness. Gakpo & Wirtz have done nothing either and played all 3 games. Slot was absolutely within his rights to drop him but to not start him at all after him being a regular starter for 6+ years was never going to end well. It's absolutely pathetic man management

Why is it madness?

I find it a bit weird you're defending the likes of Salah who doesn't even think he needs to earn his place. It's no surprise he's not starting given his performances this season and the fact that the team are scoring more goals and haven't lost since he's been dropped.

We also don't know how he reacted to being left out of the starting lineup the first time. If he threw his toys out of the pram that could also be why he's continued to be left out.
 
It’s about time this drama happens to another club than ours!

Whilst it’s great to see/hear these comments and it cranking the pressure up on the club and slot, I hate that this is the football world. The fact he can speak out against the club and the media circus surrounding it all, it’s rubbish that’s the world we live in now.

I don't care about Salah. I am really happy with this mess. It's madness because he scored 29 goals last season and 18 assists and has played virtually every game for the last few years and to go from that to suddenly not start 3 games in a row is terrible man management of a player like this. They have played West ham,Sunderland and Leeds in that time and won just 1 out of 3. From Sarah's point of view by continuing to give starts to every other attacker while benching him it's basically singling him out for the mess. Again terrible man management
 
I don't blame Salah. There's not a single other top player at any club who would accept being dropped for 3 games in a row. Salah hasn't been great this season but there are loads of players who have been bad. By singling him out you send a message that he is the reason for this shit. Of course he will not like that
Do you think Harry Kane would publicly criticise Bayern if he got dropped for three games vs two newly promoted sides and another side battling relegation?
 
The issue is the change is being made to protect Wirtz and the 2 other 100m signings at the expense of a guy who has proven he can do it repeatedly.
It seems logical to do that, protect your new investments rather then the aging star. But they are supposed to be a club running on feels.

Compare this to how trents been treated and you’ll see a club and fanbase massively hypocritical.

And insult his own people at the same time. No way Egyptians will be happy if he goes to KSA, especially with what's going at the moment.
 
Absolutely loving this mega meltdown at Liverpool! We want more! we want more!
 
Funny how Salah's attitude isn't so godly when they're going through rough times. Hilarious that this is how he's ending his time at that club :lol:

They'll probably still get 100m from SA for him.
Hes got a year left, i mean he’s a fecking mega star, especially in that part of the world.

No makes sense he wanted to give it another go, he gave it the extension so they could make some money and have the slot 2 another try.
If only!

I mean, he’s the biggest star coming out of that part of the world. Is he not? Maybe there’s some player from some long time but this guy is legendary. Having him at your club over there is a massive move. He’s only got a year on the contract. I can see it going from 70 to 100
 
A Liverpool crisis going nuclear is the stuff of dreams. I'm loving this.

I understand Salah's frustration though, Slot and the club haven't managed this well at all.
 
"I don't have to fight every day for my position because I earn it. I earned my position."

There it is in a nutshell he's zoned out.

It's been clear to me all season that Salah's finished. I was surprised he did so well last year because I thought he was finished at this level by the end of the previous season.

He's offering nothing to the team. He's been a problem all season and is a net negative when he's on the pitch. He was as a starter for far too long and being dropped for a few games in this scenario is normal. The player either sorts themselves out and comes back motivated or they don't come back at all.

There's no room for sentimentality and what he did last year isn't relevant if the suspicion is that he's in terminal decline.

He could have accepted a bit part role like every aging footballer has to. However, he's taken the public boo hoo poor me, I've been scapegoated route and claims he's entitled to a position in the starting line up on reputation alone. That attitude is never going to fly as no player is bigger than the club and managers just can't allow it and hope to maintain their position.

He's just looking for a way out now if you ask me and will be hoping not to be back after AFCON.
 
No chance. Saudi clubs aren’t that stupid. Liverpool would take far less if they genuinely think he’s done.
The same Saudi clubs offering £200m the summer before last? He'd be the poster boy of their WC bid and he isn't done, he'd still likely be one of the best players in La Liga, BL or Serie A.
 
He has a point though. Everyone is playing shit, why is he the fall guy?

He is being used as an excuse as to why the coach can’t coach and the club are letting it happen after all he has done for them.

I think he is right to be aggrieved. Slot wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near a PL title without him.
Personally I think it’s quite simple. Hes not in form, it looks like he’s dropped off the pace and they pay 400k a week for him. No way will they want him hanging around on the bench if he’s not performing
