No one in the premiership would pay that !! It’s only the Saudi’s that would throw money like that at him, and for him it would be to see out his time playing sub standard football. 60m at most from a prem team.Originally Posted by Wallasey Runner

Beginning to think an agreement has been in place for him to leave this summer, for some time. Salah will always be a legend at the club, but sad to see his time, like Klopps, coming to an end like this.
Agreed, I was talking a move to SA. At least he will be used to the sand and the heat.
When in Egypt a few years back, we found out about Salah's popularity. It's immense there. "The biggest example of Egypt's greatness after the pyramids" a guy in a shop told us. I'm sure it will be noticed in SA as well. Yesterday, a Dutch paper wrote that the best idea for Slot would be to say 'goodbye' to Sarah before the next season starts.
And today the papers are filled with soundbites of former PL icons how Slot should not end up in the same situation as Ten Hag: transferring former Ajax players to MU (e.g. Anthony). Well, that Anthony guy was never considered a great player here, more a nasty individual. He's on a list with other players from our competition who failed to deliver once they'd signed up for a PL club.
United will be offloading Antony on the cheap this summer.
ten Hag has brought in Martinez, Antony and Malacia from Dutch football. Spent £150m.
I’d rate them all as poor buys. I don’t think Malacia has played a single game this season. Antony has a very limited (one) range of play, is injury prone and displays behaviours that don’t go down well in the north of England. On the face of it, Martinez can be decent, but again is prone to injuries, so what’s the point.
From what I can gather, they didn’t play that many games each season in the Netherlands. Not sure if that’s through injury or just the way it is in The Netherlands.
Then there’s been Depay, Blind, van de Beek all poor buys for United.
In the past, United have been able to recruit fantastic players from the Dutch league: van der Sar (via Fulham), Stam, van Nistelrooy.

Depay: the most-overrated player on European fields. When he’s selected for the national team, a lot people start ‘head desking’, me included. And he moral compass is way, way off. (befriended with a convicted drugs dealer/guy who tried to stab his cousin to death)
Blind: apart from his assist on Van Persie during the Spain-Netherlands game, nothing worth mentioning.
Van de Beek: that’s something else. He is an asset to a team. But I guess he needs to be surrounded with the right guys. Which makes him limited.
Malacia, Martinez, Anthony: I fully agree with you.
With Spurs having to play Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City in their last 5 games, if they do make up the 7 points and goal difference on Villa, you'd have to say they'd deserve it. With our decimated squad and still having a two leg European semi final to negotiate, it could still go down to the wire.
