Xavi's gone, Iniesta's gone, Messi and Ronaldo will soon be gone,

[Luis Anaconda]

I can’t exactly recall 2007 to be perfectly honest but I think it became clear as Ronaldo’s career at United progressed that he was a serious football talent. Getting signed by the biggest club in world football simply helped him along his path.

Salah has had a brilliant season, no argument there. Personally I wouldn’t have given him POTY but I can understand the logic in doing so.

If they lose on Saturday which please god they will then he has just scored a load of goals in a domestic league.

Your logic is confusing - are you saying Salah has peaked and couldn’t possibly go on and have the sort of success at a Real or a Barca? Maybe not in terms of matching the aforementioned figures but certainly scoring heavily?

I have no real idea what to expect from him to be honest so I can’t say he has peaked or not.

You and I as students of the game were of course aware of the lad before he arrived at Anfield but I can say I never expected anything like the goal return we have seen from him. Is it a freak season, it can happen of course but that is not in any way to take credit away from him, it is an outstanding return.

Liverpool will presumably improve next season as they again spend big so he will be in the spotlight again but I genuinely have no real idea what to expect from him. He isn’t going to be jumping ship to one of the two big boys just yet.

Ronaldo was always a star or going to be one, Messi similar. I just mention these two as they were mentioned at the beginning of the topic. Salah has kind of came from ‘nowhere’ at 25-26 or whatever.

Didn't Ramsey have a season where he scored around 30 goals from central midfield?

I don't think so.

Not far off, Rich. He scored 16 once.

If you're interested, over the past 7 seasons post his injury he has averaged just about 7 goals per season in all competitions, just under 5 per year in the league.

And last season set up or scored more goals than our goggle eyed £350k a week "star" who does even less defensive work than AR. Well done AR, sign him up for a new contract

Some journalist-type reckons he's got the arse with seeing himself continually slagged by Arsenal 'fans' on social media, and wants to go somewhere he's more appreciated. In short, wes is a ****.
