This bit is funny. I would have agreed in the first few weeks of the season but 18 goals later it's a daft comment.
It's now a question of when not if Philippe Coutinho heads to Spain. An offer in the region of £120m would certainly be given more consideration, whether that arrives in January or June, writes @JamesPearceEcho
More consideration than the zero given in summer. Another pointless article. Just like the one the other day about Klopp refusing to swear on his life that no LFC player would ever be sold.
not really. If Salah could finish he'd be the best player in the league! He scores plenty because he gets plenty of chances (of his own making)
Any January bid will be pointless. Maybe they will agree a sum for the summer, but I would personally like to see how our season goes and Brazil get on in the world cup too. Could get his price even higher.
Early in the season he would create (for example) 4 and score 1 but that has changed dramatically as his confidence has grown, he's not missing much at the moment and hasn't been poor in front of goal for a while now. You're also wrong about Firmino.
Firmino would be a brilliant mid table club player or for the likes of everton. He's not good enough to challenge for a team. He's basically Arsenals version of Giroud. He'd be class else where but for Arsenal he's not good enough for their club . Just as Henderson would probably be great for another team, not good enough for Pool. Yup, Lampard also better than Gerrard, more trophies, more goals more assists right?
What part of Salah having both the most goals and fewest shots per goal supports your claim that he can't finish?
firstly, it's a sample of 12 games Secondly based on your stats, i can come up with my own: Salah 14 goals, 10 big chances missed Sterling 9 goals, 2 big chances missed Kane 10 goals, 5 big chances missed Aguero 9 goals, 8 big chances missed Rooney 7 goals, 3 big chances missed. I'm going to presume the goals scored were big chances converted so convertion rates are: Salah 0.583% Sterling 0.818% Kane 0.666% Aguero 0.529% Rooney 0.700% Clearly the only one with world class finishing is sterling. However if i ever watched football i can see that salah and sterling aren't natural finishers (although stats support 1 over the other)
Salahs shot conversion is one of the highest across Europe this season. I agree he did miss some sitters earlier on but he scored hard chances. Overall, he’s scoring at a very good rate.
I thought the same but I think we’re in the same boat as Soton in that Coutinho only wants to go to one place - Barca. So we won’t get a bidding war.
Just realised i had salahs all seasons stats, his real ones are here 12 goals 6 big chances missed so 0.6666%. Either way below sterling and rooney for this season Official Premier League website that uses Opta i believe. https://www.premierleague.com/players/5178/Mohamed-Salah/stats?co=1&se=79 https://www.premierleague.com/players/4316/Raheem-Sterling/stats?co=1&se=79
