I am not sure about this. From what I heard, Mohammed Salah turned down a contract with Al Hilal a few months back? From what I heard, he was offered more than what Ronaldo is getting now, and still he was not interested. Now what happened all of a sudden? Is this news confirmed? Anyway they need him badly now. Neymar has been ruled out of this season after a lot of theatrics. Aleksandar Mitrović and Malcom are performing well, but they need someone like Salah to boost the attack.

I think there is no way around finding a replacement player for Salah because it is not about the if, but about then when in regards to a Salah transfer. He will leave the club at some point, but there are rumors that a club from Saudi Arabia offered him a contract with an empty field, so to say he was supposed to tell them how much he wants. Who knows whether that is the truth, but I believe that Salah could be a high interest target for them because he is also Muslim and I think he could become an iconic figure for the league because of the high level of mutual identification. So either way Liverpool has to be prepared for some significant change.

Honestly, the way he is getting big offers from Saudi clubs, I am not going to be surprised at all if he actually decides to accept one. And that can definitely happen. After all, they are professional footballers and they will be playing for money. It will not hurt a player like Mohammed Salah to choose money at this stage of his career. Liverpool has to find a substitution for him and they will have to do it quickly. The relationship between Liverpool and Mohammad Salah has been really good, but every good thing must come to an end in this world. And it will. The question is will be ready for that?

That's true, if he accepts an offer that essentially nobody in this world would decline, there is nothing to say against that. There are always moral discussions about these rich players going after more and more money, but I think everyone should ask themselves what they would do when a contract would be lying in front of them with a whopping 200,000,000+ USD salary per year. It is so outrageously much money that it would almost feel wrong for anybody to take the contract and tear it into two pieces, saying that they won't sign it. Players are thinking about their families and the generations to come. Having 100 million is a lot, having a billion is a different category of wealth.

I do think that for Mo Salah, he is more of a loyal player. He knows how important his role is at Liverpool and would not want to leave the gap unfilled mostly as they still are struggling to be on top of the their league.
I don't think it's about the money for him, else he would have jumped at the first instance of an open check or a wage bigger than Ronaldo's.

Salah is yet at the peak of his career, he can't be compared to Ronaldo that has literally almost played in the world major leagues and with more titles and accomplishment that he, Salah can only dream of still.

Al-Ahli failed to maintain its lead after being held to a draw by host Damac with the same score of 2-2. I thought this would be a landslide victory for Al-Ahli because they were ahead in the first half with 2 goals. But it seems that as the host, Damac didn't want to give up and didn't want to accept the result until in the end they managed to equalize in the 73rd minute and also in the 90+1 minute. Al-Ahli would have almost gotten 3 points if Damac had not scored a goal in the minute of injury time and with this result Al-Ahli failed to match the points tally with Al-Nassr in the standings.

I heard from one source that Ronaldo will move to the Premier League on loan to Newcastle this rumor makes sense as we approach the transfer window in the middle of the season and this is not new news because we have previously heard this rumor since Newcastle managed to secure ticket to the Champions League, we also know that Newcastle and Al-Nassr are owned by the same company so of course there are no obstacles, did you guys hear this news too? For me, this makes sense because Ronaldo still has the ambition to play in the Champions League.

But does Newcastle still have a chance of going to the next stage? based on the schedule, Newcastle's last match in the Champions League will be on December 14 meaning the transfer window has not yet opened I mean if Newcastle were knocked out would Ronaldo move be cancelled? on the other hand, Al-Nassr also still needs Ronaldo to fight in the Asian Champions League or maybe Al-Nassr just relies on Talisca, who is currently the top scorer in Asian Champions League Huh

I also often hear that Ronaldo is reported will playing to Newcastle, but this news never happens. Maybe it's just a rumour, especially the Premier League needs talented young players who have good stamina. Although it is possible that Ronaldo could also play there considering his great performance in this Saudi League, but he is too old for that. Also Al Nassr may prioritize the development of their team and their league, rather than the development of teams in other leagues.

I'm not very sure about that news, I don't know the source you got it from but if it's true, it would be very nice to watch Ronaldo playing in a more professional league once again and since both clubs are owned by a particular owner it would be very easy for C Ronaldo to switch sides to the Premier League without Newcastle spending much, the club owners would just continue paying him his normal wages, but this could be a bad news for Al-Nassr cause Ronaldo is their star player and has helped them alot, and they'll have to find a perfect replacement for him.

Exactly what I thought about, Newcastle are at the bottom of their group in the UCL competition and it impossible for them to qualify for the next stage, they'll drop to the Europa League and even in the EPL they might be in the top 6 but the competition for the top 4 is very tough this season and I don't think they might be lucky to qualify like they did the previous season.

I think that if manchester untied much more respect ten hag instead of ronaldo. It's caused by ten hag was a coach of manchester united while ronaldo was a player. There is the different between the position of those.
That's the main reason MU let ronaldo to leave from the club rather than ten hag. The management thought that if ten hag is much more valuable than ronaldo. It has been proven how ten hag was able to bring manchester united into the 4th place last season and being qualified for the UCL.
MU terminated Ronaldo's contract instead of Ten Hag for this main reason, but it doesn't mean Ten Hag won't be fired if MU performs poorly.
Ronaldo is getting a place where he is able being very happy to play there. Al nassr has become his new home even he was interesting to extend his contract.

C. Ronaldo left MU last season and that made Ten Heg and the MU players look more comfortable. Because last season there was even an extraordinary improvement in the MU squad after C.Ronaldo left. But this season MU has experienced another very worrying decline. In fact, they just lost today to a team whose abilities I feel are below them. and now Ten Heg's position could be threatened there.

I am happy that C. Ronaldo left MU and came to Al-Nassr. At least here at the Al-Nassr club we can see C.Ronaldo playing more comfortably. Last season MU experienced a decline in performance and C.Ronaldo was blamed at MU because he was considered to have poor performance and had a conflict with Ten Heg and affected the MU squad for the worse. But now when MU slumps again they have no one to blame again. And only Ten Heg should be responsible there.

To be frank, I don't know why Ronaldo had problems in MU but if there was anyone to get rid of, it was Harry Maguire. Ronaldo is a top player, despite his age, he performs better than many other forwards. I bet Cristiano Ronaldo would be a better defender than Harry because I saw MUs matches and it was feeling like it was 10 against 12.

Manchester United didn't appreciate Ronaldo but to be honest, I didn't like it when he moved in Al Nassr. I don't really like when all these top players move in Saudi Arabia because we aren't able to see them playing in top European clubs among other top players.

It seems he also didn't have a good relationship with players in Al Ittihad like Benzema.

I read that in multiple sources and I believe poor results made Al-Ittihad staff pissed and the bad relation with some of his players namely Benzema made the club to let him go.

Quote from: rendravolt on November 09, 2023, 07:29:30 AM

I think this is the right decision taken by Al-Ittihad to fire coach Nuno Santos and however as defending champions they cannot continue to suffer from the series of bad results they have had. As one of the big teams in the Saudi league, Al-Ittihad must prove that they are still worthy of competing at the top of the standings with Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, especially considering that their status is the defending champion, Al-Ittihad must immediately rise.
[/]
Even if Al-Ittihad will start winning again, they are 11 points behind Al-Hilal which barely lose points. They lost only 4 points in 12 matches.. I doubt Al-Ittihad could overtake them honestly. I see Al-Hilal as the contenders for the title this season. What can Al-Ittihad achieve is to get the second place. 7 points from Al-Nassr shouldn't be a problem if they start winning again.

Just checking the performance of Salah during this season and if you compare his performance with the performance he had in the last season, you can understand Salah didn't have a good performance at all in Liverpool, maybe that's because of getting old and maybe that's because of the offer he got from Saudi Arabia and he can't focus on the games anymore in Liverpool. But even Kloop knows Salah is going to leave soon and there are some possible destinations for him and obviously Al Hilal can pay him a huge amount of money.

Liverpool needs Salah to score goals. But Al Hilal needs him for increasing their global fanbase, and also to win matches. So obviously Al Hilal can pay a much higher amount for Salah when compared to any of the European clubs. Anyway, all the drama by Neymar left Al Hilal high and dry. Now they immediately need another star who can replace Neymar and for that purpose Salah fits in perfectly. But still I am not sure whether Salah is receptive to the offer from Al Hilal. He rejected an offer from them just a few months ago.

Moh Salah is not as good as the previous season, on the other hand Liverpool is improving now. It is sometimes like that, the player is in good form, the team is not supporting. Conversely, when the team is in good shape, the player declines, it is something very natural.
Al Hilal targeted Moh Salah indeed to boost popularity and also help them in the game. I'm sure Arab clubs will still bring in players with European labels, one of which is Moh Salah. They are aggressively trying to continue to get the attention of football lovers.

Have rumored with sacked of Al Ittihad manager Nuno Santos because internal conflict with Karim Benzema and he was not happy and lead for sacking Nuno from his position. Its not first time when have intervention from players to sack the manager of one club because ever happen with France national teams under Raymond Domenech. Al Ittihad management more priority to defend Karim Benzema than Nuno Santos, both of them have bad communication and Nuno have sacked from his position as Al Ittihad manager.
I think more huge money compensation have to pay if sack Karim Benzema had bigger salary exactly with his contract duration left two years later, its not problem to pay Nuno Santo fee compensation not huge as Karim Benzema payment salary. Its have been final decision and right now waiting who will be new manager for Al Ittihad and will success make teams return to top position place?

This story was reported by many news outlets that Karim Benzema has been having a frosty relationship with the Portuguese manager. That was how Rudi Garcia was sacked as Al Nassr because of the misunderstanding he was having with Cristiano Ronaldo. These coaches should know that some players need to be tolerated because they are very expensive and the club will not want to lose them for anything.

It is believed that Nuno Santos was not consulted about the signing of Benzema and the French striker didn't fit in his plans and this didn't go well with Benzema. There were also speculations that the former coach of Al Ittihad didn't want Benzema to be the captain of the team. It became clear every day their differences were irreconcilable so one person needed to leave the club. The poor performance of the club made the coach the victim and so he was used as the sacrificial lamb.

United Arab Emirates club Al Ain coach Alfred Schreuder has resigned from the club after spending just a few months. It is believed that the Dutch coach with replace Nuno Santos. For now, Al Ittihad's assistant coach Hassan Khalifa will be in charge of the club.

After the weak performance we saw from Nuno Santos during this season, he officially got fired from Al Ittihad.
Al Ittihad spent too much money during this season for this team and they bought many expensive players like Karim Benzema but this team hasn't gotten good results so far in this season.
It seems he also didn't have a good relationship with players in Al Ittihad like Benzema.

Not that I believe all the results were because of the manager, of course players had something to do with it because they are the ones who go out and play, so they have to be a little bit responsible for it as well. But when you think about it, it's obvious that we are talking about a situation that is a little bit about the manager too, because you need to bring out the 100% of the players as a manager.

Being a manager is not about just tactics and playstyle and all that, it is also about human relations, you need to talk with your players and make them be hyped about playing and getting the best out of them as much as possible. If you do not do that, then I feel like it is going to be a trouble for rest of the teams to not end up with getting anything better. New manager should be someone who is good at tactics, but also a great person with other people, specially players, so that he could get the most out of this team at the same time as well.

11 matches 8 goals and 4 assists

There's nothing wrong with his performance. Salah's contributions were instrumental in Liverpool's triumphs, especially during intense late-game situations, and I would like to highlight the memorable match against Arsenal. It's good example if salah's performance is still good or stable enough.

I think that you shall take a look at salah's stats again. Based on current performance, it is highly probable that Salah will conclude the current season with a goal tally ranging between 16 and 19, which is quite similar to his statistics from the previous season. I think that you shall take a look at the data of his stats in EPL. Saudi is interesting to get him caused by he has always become the playmaker of the club. You can't even expect nunez to score so many goals without salah.

It will be enough if you make a comparison between the current stats with last season's stat. Salah's always consistent in any matches. I saw him as a hero for liverpool.

I dont know how you can come to a conclusion that Salah's performance this season is not good with 11 games, 8 goals and 4 assists, even if you compare his performance from this season to last season, I dont see it can be said bad. moreover, Salah right now is given more role as a creator due to the presence of Darwin Nunez as Pure striker, remembering Salah used to play with false 9 that allowed him to be finisher. if anything, Salah's performance this season is more impactful.

I believe the offer he got from Saudi Arabia doesnt bother him at all, because he knows that the club who give him the offer dont need his ability, they just need his name, so he will get the offer again next two or three years later.

Maybe Al-Ittihad really has to choose the right coach and they can't lose money after making huge investments to bring in star players last summer. Indeed, there was quite a big dispute between Nuno Santos and Karim Benzema which made their relationship not good. Surely Al-Ittihad will protect its star players more and at the same time provide the coaches they want for the future.

~snip

In my personal opinion, Al Ittihad's move to fire Nuno Santos from the coaching chair could be said to be a very appropriate action. Although there are definitely some risks that must be faced. Because firing a coach in the middle of an ongoing competition could have a slight negative impact on the team. Because if Al Ittihad has found a new coach to replace Nuno Santos, then the coach will definitely have to adapt to the Al Ittihad players and the players will also have to adapt to the coach. Therefore, in the midst of the adaptation process, it will more or less hinder Al Ittihad in the current competition. So, the steps taken by Al Ittihad were indeed risky, but these actions were taken to improve the team's performance so that it could be more optimal and better.

Then I also read on a news site that Zidane was a strong candidate to replace Nuno Santo as the next Al Ittihad coach. The reason is, this was due to reasons aimed at Benzema and Kante.

Quote

According to Relevo, Wednesday (8/11/2023), Al Ittihad is targeting well-known French coaches who are respected by Benzema and N'Golo Kante to fill the position left by Santo. On that basis, the club considers Zidane to be the most ideal candidate.

Source: https://www.inews.id/amp/sport/soccer/zinedine-zidane-calon-pelatih-baru-al-ittihad-gantikan-nuno-espirito-santo-yang-dipecat

So if it is true, I am sure that Al Ittihad will definitely be able to bounce back from the current downturn. The reason is that Zidane, Benzema and Kante both come from France. So you can be sure their chemistry will be very good. Therefore, let's just wait for the decision and next steps that Al Ittihad will take

Now Al Ittihad is not in a good situation at all and even if gets in better form after firing Nuno Santo, still Al Ittihad should pay too much money to this coach while he didn't have a good performance in Al Ittihad.
Al Ittihad should pay eight million dollars to Santo and they should pay all this money when their team is in sixth place at the table.

Of course, but even so Al Ittihad must accept this gracefully. Because no matter what, a contract is still a contract. So, in any case, Al Ittihad must be willing to pay Nuno Santo according to the contract they have signed. Although it is true, under Santo's coaching this season Al Ittihad's performance has dropped drastically. However, I am sure that Nuno Santo has also brought out his best ability to make the Al Ittihad team a very strong team. Because for example, last season Nuno Santos succeeded in bringing Al Ittihad to win the Saudi Arabian League. So this further strengthens the fact that Santos actually also has very good abilities.

However, this season, as we know, Santos does not have good chemistry with new players like Benzema. Most likely this is one of the factors causing Al Ittihad to experience a decline in performance.
Therefore, Al Ittihad preferred to fire Santos for the comfort of its star player, Benzema. Apart from that, other teams in the Saudi Arabian League have also performed better this season. Maybe this factor also makes it increasingly difficult for Al Ittihad to compete in the Saudi Arabian League.

And in essence, all of this is a risk that Al Ittihad must accept.

After the weak performance we saw from Nuno Santos during this season, he officially got fired from Al Ittihad.
Al Ittihad spent too much money during this season for this team and they bought many expensive players like Karim Benzema but this team hasn't gotten good results so far in this season.
It seems he also didn't have a good relationship with players in Al Ittihad like Benzema.

In my opinion, the situation is difficult due to the dismissal of Nuno Santos as Al Ittihad coach. I admire Benzema, the thing that caused the first dissonance I got from various media made me feel that Benzema is a great player who plays in the Saudi Pro League and I might support the former Real Madrid player more than supporting Nuno who I didn't like when he was Spurs coach.

From the first, I feel that Benzema's disharmony with Nuno Santos will have an impact on the team's performance. And it is true, Al Ittihad's condition continues to be in a bad condition regarding the results received.
Receiving the news that Nuno was fired, maybe that was the final solution made to keep the team in a better position considering that the Saudi Pro League competition was still long.

Thank you Nuno.

I am not sure about this. From what I heard, Mohammed Salah turned down a contract with Al Hilal a few months back? From what I heard, he was offered more than what Ronaldo is getting now, and still he was not interested. Now what happened all of a sudden? Is this news confirmed? Anyway they need him badly now. Neymar has been ruled out of this season after a lot of theatrics. Aleksandar Mitrović and Malcom are performing well, but they need someone like Salah to boost the attack.

Just checking the performance of Salah during this season and if you compare his performance with the performance he had in the last season, you can understand Salah didn't have a good performance at all in Liverpool, maybe that's because of getting old and maybe that's because of the offer he got from Saudi Arabia and he can't focus on the games anymore in Liverpool. But even Kloop knows Salah is going to leave soon and there are some possible destinations for him and obviously Al Hilal can pay him a huge amount of money.

Mohammed Salah is still a very important member of the Liverpool squad and I think the best and most effective player in that team at the moment but it's also clear that he's currently over 31 years of age and that's why I don't think he can be effective as he was for Liverpool when he was still in his late 20s .
During the summer transfer window, he received offers to join the Saudi League which he accepted but told the club that he can only join of Liverpool permits but Liverpool decided not to let go of their star player. Since Salah isn't getting any younger again, a huge deal that'll see Liverpool receive offers that's near or equivalent to €100m next summer should be enough for the Reds to sell him to Saudi club I think
