“Sometimes you can see it coming with somebody. However, Mo Salah is a different animal to me. Yes, you’ve got to have some form of rules and regulations and structure at a club, but also, you’ve got to open your eyes to what’s in front of you.”Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah hardly miss a match. They’re as fit as fleas. They’re still at the top of their game. There are definitely a few years left in both of them. I would push the rules and regulations a little bit further if I were to keep what are two of the players that you simply can’t afford to lose.”
