Football fans have reacted to these hilarious responses after Mohamed Salah signed for Liverpool in 2017.
The Egyptian forward was bought for £34.3million from Roma and immediately hit the ground running at Anfield.
With 151 goals in 238 appearances, he has cemented himself as one of the best Premier League players of all time.
But, when he was originally signed by the Reds it appears he was not immediately a fan favourite.
Responding to a post on Twitter announcing his arrival at the club, one Liverpool fan tweeted: ‘Not having it. Why are Roma selling him? Because he’s shi**.’

A third even wrote: ‘£34m down the drain. Ffs why did we sign this guy,’ while a fourth added: ‘Mane, Coutinho, Firmino, Lallana etc… Where is he going to fit in? Quite expensive for a guy where you already have good quality.’
Looking back at these posts from today, many football fans were quick to see the funny side.
One person wrote earlier today: ‘Came from 2024 and laughing at the comments.’
