Yousef Salech - How long will we have him?

[North Cardiff Blue]

Rhian Brewster 11 goals in 22 appearances got himself a £23.5m move.

He turned out to be shit.

Yes but thats the sort of money we should be looking at when they do start knocking.

A article on the WalesOnline showing it was Riza that selected him and the board backed him enough to sign him.

Not sure if that's a sign of a good or bad club but seems to be a good fit so far.

Didn't Riza also know Alves from the england youth and knows the Ajax manager to help get the Mannswerk deal on?
great contacts to have in the short term, but obviously its better in the long term to have a well functioning recruitment department

Meanwhile, another Walesonline article this week suggested it was Patrick Deboys and his recruitment team who selected Salech. Take your pick.

Shouldn’t we be saying he’s shit, his lucky goals have gone in off his shin & arse. No football brain, weak, gets bullied easily etc etc. Or do we keep saying he’s more or less the new Van Basten

Patrick Deboys is going to business conferences and telling everyone what a good job he's done

it's all very promising, but remember Kenneth Zohore - another tall and quick Danish striker who had played in Sweden.
he looked the real deal - until he didn't.

Don't mind if Salech is shit after he leaves us. 6 months of excellent form and a £30m transfer would do me

To be fair I think it was the mental side which let Zohore down, he had all the attributes to be an excellent striker and when he was "on" he was brilliant

He's 31 and still playing, but apparently hasn't scored a goal since February 2021 on loan at Milwall, and has been dropping down the divisions since - just signed for a Danish second division side

Are we looking at him?

[NYCBlue]

I know players don’t tend to move clubs twice between two windows but if he carries on like this, is he likely he will be sold in summer?

Hope not, we’ve been wanting a player like him since Moore mentally checked out, but strikers like him are in high demand.

No chance. He's scored what? 5 goals? He's doing well and he's certainly helping our cause. But I can't see other clubs with more money looking at him and thinking "that's who we need to take us to the next level". Not yet anyway.

Don’t understand why our fans are talking about losing a seemingly real talent when he has barely begun playing for the City. We should just enjoy his talent whilst we have Yussuf and not alert other clubs to his talent.

I can't imagine too many clubs log onto CCMB to do their scouting, so we should be OK.

If he scores goals it's out there. How do you go about covering that up?
If he doesn't score goals, then no one is going to be alerted to him.

Yes you are right Salech is f**king useless
