I'd be confident we can cope without Salah. When we lost Tores, Suarez etc we didn't have much other attacking quality in the squad but we've got plenty now. He's 31 and he was a shadow of his former self last year. We could replace him with a young player, or just get Doak in there. Really not worried.


While I don’t want us to sell him, I do agree. We still have Nunez, Jota, Diaz, Gakpo and an emerging Doak. Szoboszlai can also play there (could we do like Madrid did with Valverde?).

 

I’d expect whoever we signed for that position to stick in 15 league goals regardless. We create so many chances.

Can’t believe there are people going out of their way to put a negative spin on this.    oh we’ll sell him in a few years… oh why have we waited this long? oh why didn’t we just get B

We've got a 30 goal a season striker sitting on the bench twiddling his thumbs and a player who has been playing that right wing position like a machine in the first three games overlapping Salah.

 

If the worst comes to the worst we can just patch it up for 4 months and see where we are.

The problem with letting Salah leave now is not even the sporting aspect, it's that we've been saying all along he's staying.

 

You can't go back on your word like that as a club. People will know in the future, you will fold.

See above about downing tools, then moving in January.

 

Salah is nothing like Suarez. At all.


Coutinho downed tools for about a week and then went on to play the best football of his career until Barca ruined him.

For what sounds like a world record fee.

Could Trent even play there?

The point the entire time is his position is disingenuous and not to the club's best interest. And he and his agent know this and know it will become about FSG if they just keep their traps shut long enough. That is the narrative that suit both Salah and the Saudis.

Make of that what you want.

 

BTW you don't have to agree, but it seems difficult to position otherwise.


Player looking for club interest ahead of his own. Happens all the time in professional football eh?

The Saudi money is not about to dry up.

 

This time next year they'll be back with an even bigger chequebook and it'll then be the right time to sell imo.

 

Mo is as fit as a lop and he is seen as the jewel in the Saudi league's crown, tell them to come back next summer and the bidding will start at £150m.

He’s gonna stay, score both in a 2-0 win on Sunday, kiss the badge, we’ll all be singing his song and it’ll all be forgotten about. 
 

Hopefully. 


Not even I expect the owners to make Klopp look such a cunt and sell Salah against his wishes. 
 

I was all in on your post until the bit I bolded, then I knew it was fairytale stuff.

What choice do they have if the player keeps fluttering to the buyer?

 

Keep a guy whose head has been turned - fundamentally against what Klopp believes?

 

What is the choice?

 

 

 


The player is professional enough to keep playing at the highest standard until his contract expires or the club decides to sell.

He missed a month off the bat, then a further 3 weeks.


There was an international break, he missed like 2 games and the he signed for Barca but missed 3 weeks for them because he was genuinely injured. 
 

From Leicester on 23rd September (he was in previous squads) until he signed for Barca on 6th January, he played out his skin.

They will be back but the money won’t be as high. Signing him now is worth approx an extra £60-70m

Which is what Saurez did.

The only difference is he then:

 

Barcelona[457]

Atlético Madrid

 

 

 

Other than that they are similar.
