Topic: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *

[CraigDS]

That's exactly how I'm seeing it. What else could it be?

"And then he agreed to give me Ł500k a week  "

[redgriffin73]

That's exactly how I'm seeing it. What else could it be?

I guess it could also look like Mo is pissing himself at the derisory offer from FSG, whoever knows with that agent. Most likely means fuck all and he's sitting at home bored and decided to have a laugh to wind us all up.

[red_Mark1980]

It would be odd for anything to happen while he's on international duty.

I understand phones and agents, but I'd doubt anything significant is happening whille he's trying to focus on Egypt. His agent is just a bellend

[NarutoReds]

His agents being a dick again.

He's in a brothel?

[paulrazor]

definitely a few years old that pic given the NB logo

he likes being cryptic this fella (agent)

[Xanderzone]

Posting an old picture up of Salah laughing could easily be laughing at our offer.

[Ghost Town]

Clearly Mo's just heard that Everton have made a bid for him...

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

When I first saw it, I assumed it was a dig at Salah being left out of that FIFA pro team thing as that outraged a lot of people and called for people to speak out. I think he likes a little bit of attention, his agent, so assumed he wanted a picture of Salah laughing with him in it.

His Agent is a massive bellend.

Quite.

Could mean pretty much anything but it will be related to his agent being a bellend via one way or another. I

I know I’m alone on this but I don’t agree with separating palyers from agents
The agent is hired by the player - they have a free choice of who they hire and how they then act.
I see people getting confused about this all the time as if players are innocent bystanders or worse being manipulated.
They make their own decisions and agents aren’t just representing their clients they’re a manifestation of their wishes they’re almost never freelancing

If salahs agent is causing a problem in negotiations (IF) it’s because Salah isn’t happy

Pretty much. Let's be honest here, if any of us we were lucky enough to be in the same boat we'd be squeezing too.

I don’t disagree with this but clearly there’s some autonomy on behalf of the agent and this particular agent comes across as a bit of a bellend. I doubt Salah is texting him saying ‘Tweet this old photo of my laughing’, of course if he had a massive issue with it then he could tell him to stop but he’s not doing anything especially wrong, just comes accross as a bit of a bell as he does with the other cryptic stuff he comes out with now and then.

[SamLad]

agents acting like twats is kinda to be expected (well, I expect it anyway).  they get paid to be the Bad Cop in negotiations coz players don't want to piss off their club or their teammates.

of course, some agents are just twats anyway I s'pose.

Agents have a role to play, but they need to be way more heavily regulated than they currently are. There should be a ban on clubs paying agents directly, with only players allowed to pay agents, and the percentage of their income that can be paid to agents should be capped. These parasites - particularly the 'super agents' - are destroying the game and need to be neutered.

Salah is waiting for the right offer, nothing on the table yet

This is like Amir's post months back - please don't post something as fact unless you are willing to put a source to it.

We have no clue if that’s true or not

[meady1981]

You guys

[rob1966]

We have no clue if that’s true or not

We don't, but that is one of the conclusions you could come to looking at the pic. You could also look at is the deal is done, or Mo likes to laugh, or he's just heard Ragy is better than Klopp.

Is he wearing a new hat? Only relevant fact...

[Jm55]

I’m assuming it’s a joke based on the fact that in the photo there is nothing on the table other than a mobile phone.

[royhendo]

He’s not worth much to us tonight anyway.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

His Agent is a massive bellend.

He surely likes to dress like one.

Anyone got a link to yesterday's press conference where he apparently said he'd swap a trophy with Egypt for all the ones he's won so far?

Mane said it, never heard about Salah saying it.

Who cares really?

Who said I cared?  I just wanted to get context.

Precisely. As long as he continues to perform for us nothing else really matters.

[Dim Glas]

Quotes I saw on Twitter:

"I want to win something with the national team. It is my country - what I love the most. This trophy would be the closest one to my heart. We were unlucky to lose it in 2017. We have to fight for it."

And

"Of course I want to win something with the national team. It’s my country, it’s what I love the most.

“This trophy [the AFCON] would be completely different, would be the one closet to my heart [ahead of other trophies he’s won in his career].”

[WhereAngelsPlay]

They need to put Mo through the middle in a free role.

You care enough to ask people to provide you with a link.

My Egyptian is rusty, but I think he said it's the trophy that one mean the most to me. It's the one closest to my heart. I'd trade all my trophies for this one. If we could win this one it would mean the world to me. I'd hang up my boots and spend the rest of my life looking at it .

Reckon we could make him a replica of it and offer him Ł50k a week based on that statement?

You’ll be really annoyed at his new hat news Rich
