Salah should, amazing player and his longevity is unreal - how many years has he been up there with top scorers now?
 
Depends who is remembering. I’m sure scousers and all of Egypt might back Salah.

I detest Naymar, fantastic player, no argument, but a completely horrible ****.
 
Watching CNN, 7 missing. I wouidnt like to be the captain of the ship that struck it. Tragic.

Salah is one of the Premier Leagues greatest players. He's absolutely torn us to pieces at times. He's had exactly the same career trajectory as KDB. Their rises have been identical. The 2 of them have head and shoulders been the best players in this country over the last 7 or 8 years.

He's the best in the country because the scouse and red top media tell you so. If he was best he would have been the best before he joined lfc. The best footballers do it wherever they are. Mane, Firminho, they the best too? Or is that lfc media.

Salah is good. Robbie Fowler was good, they tell you repeatedly, over and over, that their players are the best in the world. (I'll tell you now Robbie Fowler was shite yet he got to play for England!) Couple that with a media that really just prints what LFC say and you have a recipe for the best TEAM in the world, yet have won just ONE PL title!

Best keeper in the world, Allison, best RB in the world TAA, best manager in the world too. Thats not lfc fans, thats the media telling us that! They say it enough and it becomes gospel. Its a circus at the red clubs, a media clickbait circus, and I have seen it all before.

I see it like this. Sterling was brilliant when he played under Pep. Same with Salah, but add to that he plays for lfc or manu and the narrative snowballs. Mainoo will be the next one they put on a pedastal, show his highlights to the nth degree, all pundits jumping on the red club bandwagon, calls for being in the England team... get everyone talking about him etc etc. Its coverage that other clubs donbt get and therefore measuring Salah against Son of spurs is difficult, I think Son is better personally. But he doesnt play for LFC, so we dont get to see him as much, he doersnt get as much coverage.

I rest my case. Salah certainly wont be remembered by me. (Except to add that if Aguero played for them he would have been the best in the world too, but he isnt_).

Neymar effectively retiring at 25 probably hinders his case.

His latest injury seems a really bad one to come back from too. He might be totally finished now.
 
Odd thread but I will give a serious answer. When playing at their best I think both of them would have enhanced City's team of the time but they would have to learn to be more selfless and less cheaty.

Neymar often gets accused (rightly) of playing for himself but Salah can be pretty selfish too. He will often shoot rather than pass to team mates in better positions - I think mard-arse Mane used to get mad about that.

If I had to choose one I would probably go for Salah due to his reliability in finishing. Swap him and Raz from the point the latter joined City and we probably would have won the Chumps league earlier than we did but if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.
