i have a theory, salah’s criticism stems from the clash of identities, narratives, and insecurities he represents. he’s too talented to overlook, too unique to be fully accepted, and too controversial for pundits to confront their biases. here is why. thread 🧵

GLOCK14 STINKER AND HOOKED 💀

Mbuemo final ball for a £70m player is so shite

The Isak, Wissa + a million other messy sagas demonstrate why the transfer system needs a revolution. I’d advocate every player having a designated fluctuating value, determined by some FIFA/UEFA run super dooper AI algorithm, that sets players’ market prices on a daily basis.

At age 14, Salah had to travel 5 hours a day across Egypt for football training. He didn’t have the luxury like we have in The West, and now he’s going to be the first person in history to win the PFA award 3 times. Salah is the example of chasing your dreams, don’t give up.

This very special award hits different when we have an important trophy to go along with it. Being champions is what matters and we will fight to do it again this season. I am incredible grateful to the players who voted for me.

When clubs don’t want a player, they try to freeze them out of the club, as Manchester United is doing with Hojlund, Sancho, and Garnacho, and Chelsea is doing with Jackson and other contracted players. However, people don’t see any problem with this, but when a key player wants

🐐 Whisper it quietly but, almost by stealth, Thierry Henry has been nudged off his throne as the Premier League's greatest 👑 Who sits there now? The man wearing Liverpool's number 11 shirt. Mo Salah's numbers - and achievements - are staggering dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

I get why Cherki only costs 45m

United’s demise is proof karma exists, good and bad. My whole childhood they just won everything, signed all the best players, gloated in faces. Now they’re a 12-year laughing stock and rivals City & Liverpool have dominated ever since. Rotten club from top to bottom.

“but men do it too” okay… and if y’all hate niggas so much, why y’all wanna do the despicable things they do? lmao

Isak kicks off - gets move Wissa kicks off - gets move Guehi - model pro - move denied Precedent set

Kind of shows that maybe the Isak and Wissa approach to transfers is what you need to do. The nice guys rarely win.

Told that Marc Guehi is extremely unhappy after being denied a move to Liverpool at the last minute yesterday and feels he behaved correctly by continuing to play before Crystal Palace pulled the plug on a £35m deal. Understand that Guehi is planning to release a statement soon

Alex is in the building 👋
