Not trying to be an a££. But how will the other players going to be reacting to this news?
Might cause chaos when renewal of other players contracts come up. The Dykes Allison Trent of the team.
I am chuffed he's signed but at what cost to the club's future plans?

I think the club will now go into receivership.

F***, who cares. The club will have to deal with this themselves. They have shown they can break the mould for the right reasons and that can still be negotiated next time. I think feeling so much on future effects that are not guaranteed is an unhealthy way to live life.

{Ed014's Note - I’m sure the club have considered all these things when it came to making the offer.

Let’s be honest leaving Liverpool for pretty much any other club is a step down right now, much like Mane to BM.

Didn’t they all recently sign? I’m sure as long as we remain competitive I’m sure they won’t care too much.

If we drop our standards it may be a different subject.

But a front three of Diaz, Nunez and salah is something to look forward to. Add to that konate, and vvd, 2 great full backs, a goal scoring keeper, a midfield 95% of teams would be delighted with and there’s plenty to look forward to!

If we can somehow get a midfielder then carlsberg do create transfer windows!

Trent, Hendo, Robbo and Virgil signed new deals at the start of last season I think WY.

Think they'd rather Salah in the team earning more than them than having a worse player like Bowen or Dembele in the team earning less. They'll be buzzing he's staying.

Agreed - the team will be buzzing!

55 million over three years plus bonuses…. how much to replace? No brainer.

There’s us a common theme in the NFL that goes like this, “Never mess with a player getting his money”. The players prolly already know what Salah was asking for before they signed their new deals last season so I don’t believe in all this talking players knocking at the door now asking for a raise in wages suddenly cos Salah signed a new deal on wages they prolly already knew about. They’ll be buzzing that he is staying if anything, IMO.

The structure is pretty well set, (I think from what Iv read) with first team players being anywhere between 100k-200k with the number of players at that top level limited to the elites in the team (VVD, Salah etc) . If we bend those rules to keep a player that has the potential to be the best in world as Salah was last season pre AFCON, and that rule only be allowed for one player in the team, then I think most players will understand and be on board with that.

Apparently, Sadio’s departure made the leeway to ‘bend’ the financial structure and offer the incentive based i elements of the contract. Seems that might not have been an option if Sadio had stayed / renewed his contract. Not sure if that’s true or not and the reporter might have as little financial knowledge as me, but it does sound plausible on first reading.

If players are performing to an exceptional or better standard than when they last signed a contact then I’m sure they will have the conversation when the time comes.

If they aren’t performing to a better standard then they haven’t got a leg to stand on.

Mane and Bobby haven’t hit Mo’s heights (with regards to goals before Oli cries again) and Mo was clearly the priority as his negotiations took precedence and Mane has been moved on and Bobbys contract unresolved.

Now Salah has signed I’d imagine Bobby might ask the question about his renewal and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him extend. But I personally doubt it would be on more money.

Given Salah had one year left on his contract of £200k pw then in effect he’s been given an increase of £150k for one year and then two years of the new amount. He surely has at least a couple of years left at his current level of brilliance and we have the chance then to get someone else in at the right time if need be and still command a few for him if it suits all parties whenever that may be. The idea of him and mane leaving at the same time seemed madness so all good for now surely.

It's not for me to say if Salah is worth twice or thrice what his team mates are getting; it's a question for the management and the bean counters to answer. But what I do know is that he is in the top 4 or 5 players in the World, and that over the 5 years he has been with us. You can't hold on to your best players if you don't pay market prices. So the club decided he was worth holding on to.

Love the idea his agent must have a little bit of egg on the face, for being unable to get his client the "super big money" he's been angling for since years.

Imagine a guy who can never seem to keep Bobbie’s name out of his mouth when discussing ANYTHING Liverpool (as he just did here when the topic is about Salah’s contract), calling someone else out for crying about Bobbie. The projection is deafening.
