Yeah Salah is top quality. How he mamaged to go for so little amd to Liverpool out of all places after his 2 spells in Italy with Fiorentina and especially at Roma I will never know.
Maddening, isn't it.
To Liverpool's credit they have someone in their scouting department who knows what's up. They don't get transfers right all the time, but they snatched Suarez too right before he exploded. I don't even think the calculation is that complicated; they're just looking at the development curve and the numbers being produced. Makes you wonder what other clubs are doing.
It really does. Salah wasn't an unknown by any stretch of the imagination. Yes he "flopped" under Mourinho but the guy was there lile half a season and did mot get much of a look in.
He was smashing it for Basel in the CL against Chelsea before his move which prompted them to buy him and he's consistently been productive from the wing since them. And come on, Mourinho has a way of fucking up attacking players who aren't units.
Yes, the numbers this year are out of this world but he would have been very good for about 15-18 goals at least based on his previous numbers over the two seasons before his move to Liverpool. It really is surprising that Liverpool were the only ones even slightly interested in him.
