Have to give it to the lad salah he looks a class player, I wasn't convinced when you signed him he'd turn out to be so good. Question is tho how long can you hold onto him? No top 4 this year and he'll down tools in my opinion but can you see him sticking around for the best part of his career if it's only top 4 without challenging for the top honours?

And you know Salah will down tools how, exactly? We'll handle Salah thank you very much. You guys just focus on doing Spurs, okay? I propose you stick to your club regarding players downing tools cos you guys are in way more trouble than you think.

im a realist DG, imo salah will be headhunted by real Madrid this summer even if we finish 2nd, I only hope he will give us 1 more season, it also depends who we sign in the summer, however as ed002 often reminds us players come and go all the time. He has been truly superb, god knows what his final goals total will be.

{Ed002's Note - It was Salah who had his agent approach Real Madrid not the other way around.}

top clubs will always be interested in top players, salah's stats are incredible, real Madrid will be having a clear out come the summer, mo salah is bound to be a target, not trying to cause trouble just facing facts.

Thing is Dublingunner, I think there was always a good player in Salah, just that he was treated unfairly by Mourinho.


12.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 16:22:52
Salah hasn't even been here a season and his agent has contacted Madrid about a move. Do you think the agent acts without his clients say so. Unfortunately salah is using us has a stepping stone I just hope when Madrid come knocking we demand coutinho money for him aswell. It's disgusting to think we have become a stepping stone club but I can't blame players for wanting to win trophies. And we simply don't win any with consistency.


13.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 16:35:18
Fatboy that’s just how it goes. If Salah leaves for Madrid as long as we get a good price and replace him with top quality then it’s fine.

{Ed002's Note - In answer to Fatboy - Salah had his agent approach Madrid - I should not need to explain the same thing over and over.}


14.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 17:51:14
ED2 haha I think we all have it drilled into us that salah through his agent approached Madrid first, we are just saying that if in the summer Madrid decide to call Salah back then he might leave, or even if Salah reaches out to Madrid again in the summer.

{Ed002's Note - His agent has had more than one discussion with them and Salah has spoken to a couple of third parties asking advice. We know this and it is nothing new.}


15.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 17:30:01
Your career is in your own hands as they say, if Salah sees Madrid as the pinnacle and that this summer will be his best chance of getting that move then who are we to say he shouldn't persue it. As long as he is giving 100% while he's here of course.


16.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 18:23:03
I think Salah thought the players already at Liverpool were better than they are. He has come in and set the league on fire and set new scoring records, but we still have a massive fight on just to get 4th.

No wonder he is asking about Madrid. I hope we can improve a lot in the summer and he will stay another year. There is no we could get anyone to fully replace him.

{Ed002's Note - His worry is not the Liverpool players but something else. Liverpool will resist selling.}


17.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 18:25:10
As you say Ed. Transient employees. As long as we replace with quality then it’s not an issue. As it is, Salah has been brilliant this season.

{Ed002's Note - He has done very well indeed.}


18.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 18:29:12
Which he without a doubt is doing so. He is giving his all and his numbers don't lie. We need quality players who see us as the pinnacle and not a stepping stone. You only get that kind of mentality from youth players who come right through the ranks to the first team a la trent. Just want us to win a trophy and become the club players want to win trophies at. not too much to ask.


19.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 18:47:02
yes Salah has had a great season so far, but I think that there is room for improvement, sometimes his first touch is not great, his passing could be better,
if he does stay another season, he will become a better player,
moving to Real Madrid is not the best move for him, they are having a real, forgive the pun, bad season,
they have two players who we have looked at, they maybe the selling club .

Yous have to be the most bitter fans going I only asked a simple question and gave praise to salah and get abuse of how useless arsenal are. Get over yourselves yous haven't exactly being pulling up tress in recent years.

{Ed002's Note - They don't understand "banter" so tend to struggle with fans of any other club DG.}

When you get a special player like that you should build a proper defence, buy a world class keeper. Do everything to become a top top side. In the January Transfer market we had that opportunity, failed, we need to do it in summer or he will simply leave.

{Ed002's Note - What "world class" keeper was going to join Liverpool in January?}


22.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 19:54:42
How have madrid responsed Ed? Is he a player they may look to?

{Ed002's Note - He is seen as an option.}


23.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 20:05:27
By the way Dublingunner I think you got the better deal bringing in Mkhitaryan for Sanchez. Mourinho will turn Sanchez into a left back, while Mkhitaryan looks like he’ll strike up a good understanding with Aubemeyang again because he’s playing for a coach who likes playing football not a coach who plays anti football. Hope you turn Spurs over next week too btw.


24.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 20:35:48
Doesn't matter wat mourinho does to sanchez he is a world class player and undoubtedly his departure makes arsenal weaker.


25.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 20:49:17
But you brought in Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan which makes up for it if they both reignite their partnership they had at Dortmund, which there is a reasonable chance of considering you guys actually pay football, m you also might get some schadenfreude if it all goes belly up for Sanchez, so win win?

"His worry is not the Liverpool players but something else. "
What do you mean ed?

{Ed002's Note - Read the post above.}

05 Feb 2018 21:34:55
To become a good team again we can't sell our best players you need to add to the team not just make up for the loss of your best player. Arsenal and Liverpool are in the same boat in that respect.


28.) 05 Feb 2018
05 Feb 2018 22:10:29
Salah should apply for the Madrid manager’s job, definitely a vacancy on the cards there.

If he wants to play for that shower then good luck to him, we’ll get a huge fee and he’ll end up as a bit part player 🤝.

You are right Dublin. Hope our situation changes in the summer. Top 4 will be very important. Good luck to Arsenal at the weekend.

Spot on, Ed. I have been asking the same question re: signing a world class GK in January and am yet to get an answer.


31.) 06 Feb 2018
06 Feb 2018 02:13:10
Why did salah ask his agent to approach real? If its not about our level of football.

I don't know why players keep looking to leave Liverpool. You don't hear this much with our rivals, spurs arsenal Chelsea and utd. Players need to honour their contracts and be pleased they are playing for football royalty. Even winning champions league won't stop it. Last time we won it we lost loads of good players soon after.

Spurs - Bale, Arsenal - Sanchez, Chelsea - Hazard, ManU - C Ronaldo.

The top players all get tempted. Ok Hazard hasn’t gone yet but there has been plenty of rumours.
This is not peculiar to LFC. Transferring generates income for players and agents. It’s not going to stop so better just adapt and move on.
