Topic: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

[Barneylfc∗]

Who?  You can't just say "oh there must be a forward with X", without then backing that claim up with actual stats.  Salah has a (non-penalty) goal or assist, from the wide right, every 102 mins.  The next best in the premier league is probably Saka - who from 2838 has 10 non-penalty goals and 9 assists - or one every 149 mins.    He'd want what Salah is on, and would cost *MORE* than what we could get for Salah.  Who else is there?  Most of the other options play on the left, or are out and out strikers - and probably cost more than Saka too.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that it isn't terry_macss_perm's job to be finding replacements for players. He'd hardly be posting here suggesting we should be replacing Salah if it was.

So whether he can come up with a name of another player is absolutely irrelevant to him thinking Salah should be replaced.

I think we should replace about 5 players this summer. It's not my job to suggest or find those replacements or discuss the financial packages involved.

Could end up with another mid-season AFCON next year now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/africa/67969369

Salah is still our best forward and would be very hard to replace. If somebody came along with a ridiculously high bid then I would take it but if not then he is still a very important player for us.

I feel like he'll play for Egypt till his 40.

He'd still be there best player anyway.

The fact that they’re allowed to run a continental competition every 2 years is a joke. They should all be every 4 years. Mind you the expanded club world championships are a joke too. Imagine African players having a mid season AFCON January 2025, club world championships June 2025, a full league season 25/26, World Cup June 26, full league season 26/27, AFCON June 2027. Absurd amounts of football.

Think this out of date now and it is looking like happening in the summer? https://www.news24.com/sport/soccer/afcon/afcon-2025-to-be-played-in-july-august-with-preliminary-round-starting-next-month-20240220

Afcon 2021 was played in 2022 and Afcon 2023 was played in 2024, so looks like to get back on schedule there needs to be two in consecutive years, rather than just pushing back all future ones by a year. At least it's the summer, rather than two winters in a row. But by 2027, there will have been 3 in the previous 4 years...

Seems that way. Unless he wins everything with Real and gets tired from the racist slurs hurled at him in every game.
