We had enough players who have been key but were either on the slide or about to hit the slide and therefore are perfect targets for the saudis - they've done us a turn giving us 50m for the statues from midfield to be fair.

 

If Salah goes now my only problem with it is the timing for us to replace him - i always believed he was off this summer anyway, but not this late - he'd be gone next anyway....If we genuinely are gonna get 100m and can do something with it right now - and he wants out then so be it.

 

Your last line is what I think the drip, drip of news from Saudi is all about. It's to get us ready for the sale, so fsg don't feel backed into a corner. I'm not saying that's Liverpool's doing, I think it's the saudi's and/or Salah's agent. But I think that is the aim.

This is perfect for FSG, drag this out a few days then sell Salah for a £100+ million and there won't be time to scout a replacement. There won't be any value in the market as far as FSG are concerned. A wonderful window where they'll have raked in more than they've spent. Another net spend successful transfer window offsetting much of the revenue lost through missing out on the CL.

We can handle it worse than that. The Saudi window is open much later than ours, we can hold through the window and sell in September when no replacement can be signed.

Would be plausible to me that if Salah was sold now that we'd go relatively big on a centre half and a midfielder - a bit of pre planning for exits that will happen there next summer in shape of Matip and Thiago and a move towards completing the midfield rebuild  - and secure a forward in Jan and a big forward buy next summer.....

If Salah goes now it says as much about the position the PL (forget about the rest of Europe) are in now overall as it does LFC.

100 mil for Salah is a joke btw.

Chiesa has been shite since he did his knee

We should have been doing that without selling one of the best players in the league.

I don't reckon FSG want to sell him as he's our most marketable star. Salah's agent is a slippery fuck and Mo himself treats nickels like manhole covers, believe me, I know. The man likes a payday.

To be fair the kind of money that is being quoted and paid is insane.

Why are city untouchable from Saudi’s pov?

 

And why haven’t Arsenal been targeted yet?

Because their owners have a spine?

A positive if Salah leaves - we can get Szobo on the pens.

Who is scoring the goals. We should be going biggish on those positions irrespective of Salah. The money is supposedly these for that. What goal scorer do we have.

Arsenal's midfielders from last season were better than ours and they sold one for £21m and would have sold the other one to Saudi for £35m if they stumped up the cash, as they were expected to.

"Chelsea in the last few hours have made enquires on Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez. 

We understand #lfc are very relaxed about the situation. 

#cfc will need to submit attractive bid for Liverpool to start talks. 

The news will break in the national media soon."

[El Rojo]

Salah and Nunez out. Six month loan deal for Kenwyne Jones.

They backed the manager - of that there can be no doubt. 
 

Whether they’ve gone far too big on bang average players is a completely different argument.  
 

Oh for that to be an issue for us to worry about with Klopp and FSG. 

[Remmie]

Haha were selling Nunez and Salah now? Must be buying Mbappe

Diaz, Jota, Nunez a new buy....

 

As it happens I don't think we will sell Salah now - if it was gonna happen it would have been earlier in summer IMO.

 

I may be wrong of course and if he has decided he wants out then he should go - i just don't think that is case.

 

Next summer though it is a certainty and one we should be planning around now in terms of replacement/how we play.

 

Just like when every other great goalscorer down the years left we will evolve and we'll find solutions.

Bit reductionist that. 

Salah probably wants to go, regardless of how well we're doing or what the owners have or haven't spent. They certainly paid HIS wages at an elite level. 

 

And be careful which model of football club you cite as being able to afford those wages while also spending massively.  Last time I checked we didn't want oil daddies owning the club forever.  The only other successful model I've seen to enable such spending is to do so with loans. 

Arsenal are doing something interesting now but it remains to be seen how viable it is to keep buying £100m players.  The last 3 seasons of spend under Kroenke have been massive, though stadium naming rights is the price you pay. 

[kemskem]

If he does wants to go, the fact that he doesn’t feel the need to play out of his skin at the moment when people are prepared to pay ridiculous money for him would suggest that he knows that they’re not arsed about football. Ok, Mo.

[El Rojo]

Klopp when FSG tell him Salah and Nunez have just been sold.
