Mohamed Salah

[Kevin D]

His use of the ball, decision making and creativity have gone to another level this season. Playing some of the best football of his Liverpool career.

He’s just fucking boss isn’t he?

Some of his defensive work today was outstanding, too.

To be fair though, Salah was playing in a better side...

[coachpotato]

I think Mo was fed up playing in a side that was going nowhere last season. 
He looked and played at times as if he couldn’t be bothered.
This season he’s seen the spark is back in the side, and it seems to have put the spark back into him.

The new players are a definite upgrade and his efforts are being rewarded with like minded players (in their positions) making his efforts worthwhile and he’s obviously liking it.

Very possible he can see silverware in the team before he moves on next summer.

100 pace goals, so doesn't count.

He'll move into top 10 of PL era goalscorers well before the end of this season - hopefully before christmas!

 

In terms of mins per goal only dribble chin, Aguero and Henry have better records of the top 10.

[LFC 6 Times]

The desire of some to sell him is genuine insanity. The best player in the world, absurdly consistent. A phenomenon who’s not slowing down for another 3-4 years.

is it a desperation to sell or just a footballing reality that Saudi may have turned his head with money? If that's the case it's cash in this summer or lose him for free the year after. i know loads go "well he could still play there in 4 years" and of course he could. but if he wants to play there now, we're done for. i am all in favour of tying him down to another contract, but i very much doubt FSG will do this now. which means by the time next summer comes, we are under some real pressure. only a mad man wants to see the back of salah. 

[Poor Scouser T]

I've said sell him and it is a dam shame but that is the reality of the situation. If he will sign another contract for a fraction of any Saudi deal of course he stays. But if we get 150m or whatever in the summer at least we can rebuild. If he won't resign we have to cash in.

[Jurgen Knows]

I took that as someone being blinded by football tribalism, until he went on about Wayne Rooney …. what a sick mentality!

I think events are well ahead of you mate. I believe a deal is already in place. 
whether it’s Jan or the summer is the only question in my mind . Probably be the summer unless we bomb between now and Xmas . 
Klopp will already have funds earmarked for a replacement and given none of us want to see Mo leave at least it will be an orderly exit with the club able to get it’s business done under the minimum of pressure

Yeah you are probably correct and in that instance it is good strategic planning. Anyone who thinks we will loose 150m  or whatever for 1 more season is living in a fantasy world.

[No2]

I had to listen to the match on a Bet 365 radio stream, it was fucking painful. Anyway, they said that Antonio had said on his latest Pod that the whole world knows Mo is going next season. What a load of shite that is, nobody knows any such thing. The Mo I know is motivated by personal achievement, I wouldn't be surprised if Ian Rush is his target. He would need 30 goals for another 5 seasons, unlikely but not totally out of the question.

I don’t know anyone that honestly believes we will keep him beyond the end of the season. Not sure it will be 150 mill by then probably closer to 100 

 

The biggest potential issue I see is if picks up a bad injury. That would potentially fuck up everyone’s planning

If it is agreed I would imagine some sort of structure is in place to cover all eventualities.

I tend to agree with Antonio and if Salah hasnt already signed some heads of agreement with the Saudis and LFC I would be surprised. Much as I like the romance of him chasing down Rushies record I doubt it’s even a fleeting thought in his mind. He will be done with the PL come the summer

Yep there is always contingencies in these things and if one of his legs dropped off then I think he might stay !

Nah he'd still score 30+ goals in the Saudi league with 1 leg.

Provided he kept his left one I agree

The more the Saudi league is looked upon as a sham, then it may sway him to stay. 

On paper, a couple of months ago, it may have looked better than the reality. Now that it has started and it's a bit of a joke, it might change his mind. Unless there are a huge raft of serious signings next year, then if Mo is still hungry then he can't go there, IMO.

It’s 100 % about money surely and getting household names to participate.

Any player going there is doing so for the wedge , none of I think are delusional about the standard of the game or winning any meaningful silverware.
