Which is fine, until you take into account he’s our top scorer and assister.
=====
I'll give you the assists, but if you take the pens away from Salah then he looks very mortal. If you give the pens to Nunez he would be our top scorer, no?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doubt it as he’s end up missing them all.

We don't need stroppy players at this delicate time, and who knows if it's rare? He's gonna have to get used to time on the bench and who knows how he'll handle that. Didn't take too long for him to lose his sheet and that's with Klopp at the helm.

What is Slot gonna do when Salah starts approaching menacingly and Nunez isn't there to stop him?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What an utter mess of a post
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why don't you suck on deez nuts Term.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don’t be so stroppy. Don’t you realise what a delicate time this is?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you even contributed anything to this thread Termie?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
About as much as you have. The Klopp/Salah stuff is a complete non story, happens every weekend somewhere. Yet you want Salah sold because he’s messing with ‘King Klopp’.

You’re full of crap.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just look back at your involvement, blatantly looking for an argument and you pull this bullsheet on me at least twice a day now.

Calling my post an utter mess without explaining why so that I have to ask why. You attention seeking pipsqueak. If your intentions were pure you'd call my post a mess and explain why. As it is you're just looking to roll in the mud.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have explained and said it’s a complete non story, yet you’re determined to use it as a reason to force Salah out of the club. The things you say are ridiculous, and I’m definitely not the attention seeker here.

‘ What is Slot gonna do when Salah starts approaching menacingly and Nunez isn't there to stop him?’

Exhibit A, it’s pathetic over dramatisation at its finest.

With Edwards back at the club, I would be shocked if his preference was for Salah to stay at the club. He will be 32 in June and has one year left on his contract and will be able to leave on a free next summer.

Edwards will more than likely want to cash in now, but the truth is the power really now lies with Mo given the time frame.

The club have indicated that they want Salah to stay, but they are hardly going to say the opposite as they will want to obtain the best price.

My opinion is that it's in the best interest of the club to allow Salah to move if a suitable deal can be done. Mo isn't going to improve, he is only going to decline. His searing pace and strength were key elements to his game and once they start to decline he will have to adapt his game accordingly. Arguably this process has already begun.

With Klopp leaving, it just feels the right time for Mo to go, if this is his desire. If not, then I would probably like to see him play centrally next season, especially with Darwin flattering to deceive and another left sided forward brought in.

So we lose our manager and best player in one summer and that equates to the right time?

People are entitled to their opinion, and can also talk about money, but I want what’s best for us on the pitch so talk of wanting to sell him seems absolutely crazy to me.

It all depends on the offer Robbin. If a silly price is offered, then I think it is the right time. I see Alisson, VVD and AMAC as more important players going forward, so although he has been a phenomenal player for us, I no longer rate him as our best player. Mo has scored only 4 non penalty goals in 2024, which I find concerning.

Selling players at the right time for the right price is a risk. Fergusson was extremely good at this and we have our own recent experience when we sold Coutinho.

If Edwards decides that is preferable for Mo to stay then I will be content as his previous dealings when working in the market have been good. I just want what's best for the football club and my eye's and the stat's show that it might be time for Mo to move on, if the right deal can be done.

If Mo was happy to leave and a Saudi club offered 100m plus (factor in he's 32yr and can leave on a free next summer) would you really be that unhappy?

All fair

If it was North of £100m… possibly, but only if he wants to go, and reportedly he doesn’t.

If he didn’t want to go, but also wouldn’t sign a contract and it was North of £100m then again, possibly but I’d not be happy.

If he wants to stay AND we wanted to give him a contract, I’d have him sign tomorrow.

If he wants to stay AND we wanted to give him a contract, I’d have him sign tomorrow.

-----------------------------------------

I'm unsure how I would feel about this. All depends on how the medical staff would view it, information which we will obviously never know. What it boils down to I suppose is whether Mo's form and fitness is an aberration, related to the AFCON, or is it actual physical decline. The only person who would know this is Salah himself.

The other issue I have is his wages. Would he want a new contract with a wage increase, parity, or would he accept less money? My gut says he would at least desire parity, 350k per week. Is this good value? I fear not.

The 4th most marketable player (when I last checked) in the world probably deserves a nice wage to go with his performances on the pitch which has only recently hit a dip and can be reversed.

He's nearly 32 that can't be reversed.

Same was said about VVD this time last year

As said earlier, it’s not the 90’s anymore. 32 is nothing if players have looked after themselves, we’ve seen it over and over again, and Mo has certainly looked after himself.

4th?

Surely Messi, CR7, Mbappe, Neymar, Saka and Bellingham are all ahead of him?

I think people need to be careful what we wish for. Hes 32 soon but hes not the "norm" for 32. Salah is 1 of these freaks of nature like a ronaldo or lewandovski when it comes to his fitness and physique. He will still be playing at the highest level for another 3 or 4 years comfortably.

Hes is horribly out of form but as the old saying goes form is temporary and all that.

Id like him to stay. If a ridiculous bid came in, 150m+ then sure we might have to look at it from a business perspective but id rather he was still part of our front 3 come the 1st game of the season next campaign.

Salah’s got a lot of miles on the clock, to be fair. Has nearly 700 apps for club and country. Could take a sharp decline because of this soon - I’d argue he’s already declined quite a bit from the player he used to be, even if his output is still good.

Salah is a Liverpool legend so exact to see these exaggerations and hyperbole when he's concerned.

We should focus on our club, not Salah IMO.

VVD plays at CB. Mo is a pacey winger, who relies on his strength speed and skill on the ball. Any comparison with a CB is poinless.

If he has physically declined then his main attributes will have declined too, the attributes that have played a major part as to why he's been such a special player. Giggs and Ronaldo had to adapt their game and ultimately their position changed. Given our other options, and his exceptional movement off the ball, I certainly wouldn't be adverse to seeing Mo start centrally, rather than on the left. The days of seeing Mo blast past defenders playing as a LWF maybe a thing of the past.

Given the cash possibly on offer and his contract situation, it's perfectly justifiable to have a differing opinion on this issue.

There are two players in the league that have more goal contributions than Salah.

There are no players who have created more big chances.

He is our top scorer.

He is our top assister.

If you want to take the money angle, that’s fine, but let’s not pretend he’s finished, because he demonstrably isn’t.

By ‘you’, that means everyone btw, not you Paisley!

That's fair enough mate. It's an interesting discussion point that's for sure

------------------------------
Why is it pointless? We play one of the highest lines in Europe and last season people were complaining about the high line and VVD getting done because of it at his age. A year later VVD is back to his best (almost) and no one is talking about the high line.

Maybe we should try Matip as LWF when he returns after his ACL.

It seems that Liverpool fans are 50/50 on the matter, as like I am.

I think if he stays, he will have to stop trying to use his pace to constantly try and beat defenders like he used to, move more centrally or even on the left, he will have to see himself more as an assister than a scorer and will have to accept being benched at times.

If he were to leave, then we would have to make sure that we have a younger and more adequate replacement.

Personally I think when a new manager comes in, the less disruption to the squad the better. Continuity is crucial imo, especially as a large number of our squad are still developing or settling in. The more experience we can keep the better, certainly in Slots first season.

We don't know how much funds will ve made available for the new man. It like previous years it means 20 mill plus whatever you sell then logically it probably makes sense to sell salah if we can get a nice sum. Mainly because he is last year of his contract and is no spring chicken anymore.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Salah will only leave if he wants to go and currently he has no interest in playing in some dead dessert league. If you are worried about funds then don't be. Our owners have shown money will be there if needed. Just look at the Caicedo bid. Selling one of your best player makes no sense.

The lack of respect which has been put on Salah by some of our fans has been embarrassing. What happened to YNWA.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is it disrespectful. This is football and life. Disrespectful will be booing him and giving him.abuse om twitter etc. We thank him for his service and move on, everyone has a shelf life

This is me BTW thinking with finance hat on. If we get a very good offer we must consider it for reasons states by some. If the owners however say they will give slott a nice war chest then I hace no worries of salah staying and running his contract. He has the right to do that
