Liverpool were seemingly very good at keeping things away from the media last time Edwards was here.
This Salah contract situation feels like a very meticulous leak, maybe forcing the Saudi clubs to move and move quick?

Salah will have a say in where he goes, if he goes. I don't think he'll want to go to the Saudi league. He'll want to play at the highest level and it won't be all about the money for him.
We can't just sell him to whoever we want.

I think he will 100% go to the Saudi League and the money will be a huge contributing factor.

I don’t think he has the legs to play at the highest level anymore or for much longer anyway, you can tell he’s already slowed down. Certainly wouldn’t get a new long contract in a league like the prem. one of the farmers leagues or Middle East I’d bet.

Salah's off, guys. That much w has been clear over the past few weeks with the way he has been performing and with that touchline bust up, who knows what's been going on behind the scenes?

I certainly think it is a brief from the club. How can anybody know whether Salah is staying or going? He has a new sporting director, a new head coach and the resolve of prospective buyers to contend with.

He won't stay here for much longer anyway. He might be offered another year on top of the year he has left; maybe on less money.
His legs might be going but he seems to look after himself and he's scored over twenty goals again this season.

Ornstein reporting today that he’s staying ??♂️.

Well, if the fans want to sell the top scorer and he doesn't want to go, what are you going to do?

Difficulty, is that it is evident that his legs are gone and doesn’t really have the pace, it’s also awkward as he thinks he’s undroppable, given the weekends outburst, Slot would have the same problem of a player who isn’t really up to the pace of the league but who thinks he should play every week, which could be disruptive to the squad and be an unnecessary distraction. Maybe I’m being harsh, but I’d rather a players legs went on someone else’s pitch instead of ours. Now seems the right time to sell.

If he stays, then we lose him for free next year if he chooses to not sign an extension
The general feeling right now is that this is a tactic for players to get a huge salary at their next club.
Football has no place for sentiment.
Take the money and run or risk losing him for free.
I know what I'd choose.

Why is Salah disruptive and why was the disagreement at the weekend about him not playing? Was is it about him not starting because from what I saw, Klopp had a go at Salah when West Ham scored.
Even if Salah should have gone last summer because he has lost some pace and is still our top scorer, what if he doesn't want to go to the Saudi league? He still has a contract and he is still our top scorer.
I'd be seeing if Diaz and Gakpo would get any offers and interested in leaving before Salah.

If your boss has a go at you in public, the professional thing to do is to address it behind closed doors when the dust settles.
Don’t react and fan the flames, take it like a pro and deal with it later.
Whether the boss is right or wrong, you take it.

I’d keep him one more year then allow him to go on a free. I’d be bedding in a long term replacement next season, I’d be selling Nunez.

Ron, if my boss had a go at me and spoke to me disrespectfully, I might tell him to shut his mouth and suggest we deal with his problem privately and professionally.
Klopp had a go at Salah, rightly or wrongly, but as a boss you treat your employees with respect.

Ok Rigsby, you might be looking for a new job whilst trying to have a meeting with your ex-boss.

IR, no I don't. Why do you ask?
Ron, I'm probably out of touch but no one would be getting rid of me for standing up for myself. Imo, Klopp instigated the disagreement and Salah gave him some back.
Storm in a teacup.

You stand up for yourself in private.
You don’t undermine your boss .
You don’t know what Klopp said to him but Salah (or any player) should keep a lid on it.
Nunez had it right, respect to him for intervening with Salah.

Ron, and you don't know what Salah said to Klopp. If we don't know what was said how was Klopp undermined?
Imo, Klopp was annoyed when West Ham equalised, had a go at Salah and Salah gave him some back. There was no handshake after the game either.
I'm not blaming one or the other and they could and should both put it behind them. As it stands, it was nothing. If there were more arguments then might concede fewer goals!
I like to see some spirit like Mane with Salah for not passing and Milner bollocking van Dijk for letting an opponent shoot in our penalty area.
It shows they care.

I don’t believe in coincidences and this report of Salah staying is all to convenient, Edwards is no fool and reality is either Salah signs a new contract or Salah is sold in the summer, whether he goes to Saudi is anyone’s guess but the club will for sure use the Saudi interest to inflate any other bids and I’m fine with that. Personally I think he goes to Saudi, his agent has been hawking him about for years to get better terms and all this talk of he wouldn’t want to play in x league and wants to be challenging for top honours is great in theory but let’s be honest Salah is out for Salah and if he can get 4 times the salary, rediculous endorsements and be the poster boy for the middle league above the likes of Ronaldo then I think he takes that all day long!

why are we so adamant that Klopp had a go at Mo?
Maybe all he said was "ok we really need you now" and then Mo got irked by that?
22.) 30 Apr 2024

Dow-ney, another option is Salah sees out the last year of his contract at Liverpool.
Faith, I'm not adamant but having seen it a few times and noticed their body language and reactions, that is my conclusion.
West Ham score and Klopp approaches Salah in a less than friendly way. Salah looks surprised and defensive at first. His arms are wide and palms open suggesting 'what have I done'. Klopp carries on talking and backing away and Mo gets more animated and points his finger at Klopp and says things back.
Nothing more than a tiff after the opponents score a goal. I want the players and coaches to be annoyed when we give a goal away.

I ask because you say Klopp spoke to Salah disrespectfully ?♂️.

Nobody knows what was said to whoever, period.

I didn't say that, Irish.
I said Klopp had a go at Salah. Klopp's body language and Salah's reaction leads me to think that. I might be wrong and Klopp may be in the right to have a go at Salah but we don't know. Therefore we don't whether Salah redacted badly or not.
I've not got a problem with either of them.
