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

The boot is on the other foot now and American capitalists can’t have a single fucking complaint when roles are reversed. 

 

How?

 

The contract he played hardball over is in effect so anyone connected with the club can have a complaint. Including you.

What does being American have to do with any of it?

Which is what Saurez did.

The only difference is he then:

 

Barcelona[457]

Atlético Madrid

 

 

 

Other than that they are similar.

 

Not sure how that is relevant to the point we are discussing. You seem to be losing your marbles there.

If those two passes last Sunday are less than 110%, I'll take it any day of the week... and if he goes, he goes.

 

He is an Arab, I believe, and I think geographically, his home country appears quite close to where that League is.

 

Who knows, he might even use all that money for some good, like Mane does - and who knows, so might we.

 

I'm a lot less arsed about it than I have/would have been with others - perhaps I have double standards, like just about everyone on earth.

Catching up a bit here, so apologies if someone else has mentioned this but wasn’t that Lucas Neil ? Didn’t he break Carra leg after after he turned us down ?


After he went to Everton a few years later, he was introduced to the natives by the announcer  as ‘the player that turned Liverpool down’ & the whole of the shack cheered like fuck. Sad twats.

Yea, not sure there is a difference between Coutinho and Suarez pining to play for one of the greatest teams in the history of world football and Al - Ittibag.

 

Marbles well and lost.

No they can’t. 
 

It was a negotiation process, where both sides wanted the best for themselves and didn’t care about fucking over the other side, leaking shit in the press/Twitter to pressure/put the other side in a bad light. 
 

That’s business at that level (it stopped being sport decades ago). 
 

The owners are American - thought that was self explanatory.

Cuck central on here.  We can replace one of the best players in the world with a teenager who’s done duck all in the game, righteo.

 

Quite clear why the yank has a vendetta against Salah right enough.  


Just as well nobody has said that then, you snide gobshite.

So he's still not playing for us and we're potentially 30-50 million worse off for very little gain?

 

I'm not advocating selling him under the current conditions, but there's a time and a set of circumstances when we might have to and I'm not sure 'well we said we didn't want to' is a good enough reason not to do it. 

I mean, in this hypothetical scenario you've set here that is a disaster, yeah, we should just sell him. 

 

I would assume when Klopp sits in a press conference and says over and over he isn't going, he's got some assurances that Salah isn't going to lose his rag if we decide to keep him.

Of course they can - in the sense that he is not in the drivers seat to move unless he forces it. Plenty have said he was phoning it in after AFCON.

 

What is self explanatory about them being American?

Money seems to mean nothing to the Saudis so Liverpool are in a very strong position.  

 

I wish we would use that strong position to not only tell them we won't do business with them but also to send our support to all of those their country is wrongly imprisoning and killing. It's a shame everyone seems to think the only response to sportswashing is standing by and letting it happen. If they want publicity, give it to them.

For the record I don't think he'll down tool and the scenario is less about the Salah and more about the folly of trying to rigidly stick to the idea that you can't change your mind for fear of what it means.

 

It's a similar paradox that see's supporters wanting us to be involved in the chase for the best players while simultaneously cry-arsing that clubs now know how much money we have if it doesn't happen.

 

Clubs are far more pragmatic and have a far better idea of whats going on at other clubs so it's far less of a surprise to them.
