When does Mo leave?

Al-Ittihad have opened talk with Mohamed Salah for next summer.

Think his head is already in Saudi, could've waited until lend of the season for that news though.

[JockStrap]

It's just sad watching this version of Salah. A pale shadow of the player he has been for us.

It's Ramadan on Tuesday (or pancake day depending on your preference)

I still think Salah will come good. Don't believe it's sudden age, he's a specimen, it's psychological, he'll sort himself out.

[JockStrap]

I'm not sure. He looks to have lost a yard of pace and that makes all the difference.

[jozza800]

He looks so short of confidence.

There was one situation tonight where he's received the ball just inside of the corner of the 18yd box. Pre 25 Mo would have taken one touch and bent it into the far corner. Post 25 Mo just didn't know what to do with it.

I honestly think it's both.

He definitely isn't as quick - perhaps he can still sprint quickly after he has built up a run over 40+ yards or something (?) but that accelerative burst isn't what it was and he definitely needed it.

Has the talent to reinvent himself a bit and maybe provide opportunities for other players, but in our cold/analytical approach from upstairs I don't see that, combined with his age, being enough to justify £400,000 per week.

He does look slower, true, but not all his disappointing moments this season have to do with lack of pace.

I think our cold analytical boys upstairs need to ask why they gave such a big contract to an old man.

I still think he'll be gone in the summer but not before his swan song, the candle burns brightest at the end and all that.

Nearly everything he tries this season just doesn't come off.

He's still a top player but he's not gonna be the mo we have known. I could see him in a 10 role but don't think with his wages that would happen.
