wth is he still doing in Liverpool? did both him and the club just sleep through the January transfer window?
They're very reliant on Salah with a massive drop in quality if he is unavailable. The replacements are quantity not quality. Diaz, Darwin. Jota, Elliot they are alright useful options but not world class. Chiesa is an additional cheap option to this group who may strike gold one day.
From his perspective, Salah is old and might not renew. He's been on insane form and without injuries but thats an anomaly for.a player this age with this many games. If he is injured or rested or leaves at the end of the season Chiesa has a real shot at a starting spot so I am not surprised he is staying.
He must be thinking this is a top team with the only player thats gauranteed ahead of me is old and on last year of contract. If I find my feet this season and overcome my injuries I can replace him when he leaves/or needs a rest
