Omar Marmoush

All good buddy.

Simply stating he isn't our level.

Prior to this season and last season his stats have been abysmal.

His stats for Egypt are also abysmal.

For 50M at the age of 25 i would expect much more.

Mo Salah only had 2 good seasons in his career before joining Liverpool age 25 and he’d never scored 20 goals in a season by then. First year at Liverpool at 25 years old he exploded and scored 44 goals. Not saying he is that level but just an example.

I’ve never seen him play so have no idea on this one. His stats look good recently but where has he been he’s 25?

Some players are just late developing Salah didn’t hit his best form until around 25

 

[Matt.D]

By that logic, if we don't sign anyone will you begin to panic?

I think we will be ok anyway to be honest but this would be the final confirmation.

Would be a great signing if we actually manage it

So he's improved massively in the last two years, what's your point ?

 

[freshie]

Reminds me of Alexis Sanchez. His technique and the way he strikes a ball he's similar

He's a massive pianist?

That's not fully true though is it, 12 goals and 6 assists in 29 league games last season is hardly abysmal. Mahrez only bettered that return once (1 goal + 1 assist better) for us and I'd argue he was good enough. Going back further he got 3 goals and 5 assists in 21 games (18 games based on minutes) for a poor Stuggart side that finished 15th that year, again isn't abysmal. His worst season came at Wolfsburg with 5 goals and 1 assist in 33 games. No players progression is linear though and there could been a number of reasons for a poor year. His general progression is very similar to Salahs pre Liverpool when you look at his outputs and age and De Bruyne had similar Bundesliga seasons before his best season. Obviously you're entitled to think he's not good enough but the stats argument is one that just seems over played because of his outstanding form when the reality is slightly different.

We lack goals!!!!

I am I on a different planet!!!!???

Our problem is and still remains, whether we sign this bloke or not???

Conceding soft goals !!!!

And no proper CDM’s, to stop the counter attacks!!!???

Can we address the CDM. ,LB & RB issues first, please!!!????

Are you saying you'd rather wait till Haaland gets injured before you consider?

 

[domalino]

He's a finisher, that's what we need, can play striker, behind the striker he's had a partnership with Ekitiki. Can play either wing. Good technical ability not afraid to put his laces through the ball some of his goals are just hitting the ball hard into the net. We lack that apart from Haaland.

We are desperate for a second goalscorer in the side. We haven't had one since Sterling left. Foden did well last year but he's not a reliable goalscorer. The other wing options are virtually allergic to scoring.

My only concern is having not seen Marmoush much, I'm not convinced he's the goalscoring RW we need, he's doing well as a striker and sometimes plays on the left, where we already have Foden & Savinho.

Most goalscorers in history hit their stride at around 23, so nothing worrying about that
