Wait wait. You saying hard pass to Mo fucking Salah?? :marc::haha:


Zero chance of it happening, so I guess it's easier for you mentally to pretend we would be the ones to reject him.


But there's no way we would reject the best player in Premier league if we could afford it.
im saying no to 2025-26 mo salah. I’d rather spend that money on a younger player.

Watch him go to Saudi Arabia.

It's not the question of whether we would be able to afford him but we are well past the point of making signings like this.

JJ is still recovering from a financial mess and that is largely due to signing players over 30 on massive wages so I dont understand why you are getting triggered because few of them don't want JJ to fall into that same vicious pit once again.

PSG and Juventus are monitoring the situation of Mohamed Salah, whose contract with Liverpool ends at the end of season. If Salah doesn't renew, he will be free to discuss with foreign clubs as of January.

32 year old, extremely high wages, would fit for one season before a serious decline arrives, lots of ego, would mess with our N.G Conceicao (wingers) growth. I can find so many reasons why not.
The only upside is that for one season he would be great.

Like Daniel said - Hard pass!

Plus he plays in Africa and fasts. Definitely no.

Who cares, window closed everywhere but Turkey, can't demand outright sale at this point. So it's a good thing someone loans him so he can showcase himself and they cover his entire salary.
I disagree, it's been well documented that mourinho has been after kostic all summer. 6-8 mill is chump change even for a club like fenerbahce, loan with conditions of obligation is not an unreasonable request. Just my opinion but our negotiating skills is something to be desired at times.

Dude be for fucking real. Its 8th September, window closes for main leagues 9 days ago, we have no negotiation wiggle room here. Its either we play him full salary to sit in the stands, or they take him loan with option and pay his full salary. There is no negotiating skill involved in this, this is a last resort deal to move a player before he is forced to stay with us and we pay him to roll his thumbs.


And no its not established fact Mourinho been after him all summer, if that was true would be tangible permanent transfer offers. But just like its the case with Kostic who sees them as last resort, they most likely view him the same. Otherwise they wouldnt loan him in 8th September.

I am being real, it was already reported way back in June that Mourinho wanted him

Perhaps it was more of the fact Kostic wasn't keen initially to move to Turkey rather than Fenerbahce not making concrete moves earlier. It's only now he's perhaps realised any future at Juve is over.
The way I see it kostic replaces Kadioglu.

This. We have absolutely no leverage and they know it, so they exploit it.
