Troy Deeney on Mo Salah
The Former Watford man speaking to talkSPORT:
“My argument has always been that I just don’t think he’s world class. But world class is just a different opinion, what I think of world class is would I want my kids to play like that player? That’s what I think is world class.”
“If I was asking my kids who want to be forwards, I would be saying I would like them to look at what Vinicius Jr does as opposed to Mohamed Salah.” Troy Deeney speaking on Mo Salah

“But his goals that he (Salah) scores, he scores an unbelievable amount of goals, he’s highly effective, but that’s just my opinion. He’s probably going to turn around and say, ‘Who the f*** is Troy?’, and fair play to him, but that’s my opinion.”
Strong opinions from the former Watford striker Troy Deeney on Mo Salah. However Liverpool fans will strongly disagree with the Deeney’s comments.
