Hi Ed’s I have tried to searching but couldn’t find anything.

Is there any news on Gini and his contract situation, do you think he is considering other options? Or merely waiting till the end of the summer to make a decision?

{Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware, it is just a case of dotting the i's and crossing the t's. It is meant to be just a case of negotiating the details as he wants to stay and Klopp wants him to stay. I have not heard of any change since, but these things can be really slow as lawyers have to check the whole contract out each time a change is made and they don't rush!}

Thanks for the update!

Would be very sad if he left such a good player and a decent person!

He's turning 30 soon, so I imagine if there is an issue it will be about the length of the contract.

Good evening eds, hope all is well with yourselves. Just wondering if any of you have an update on mane's injury? Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - I think he is out for the Hammers' game, that was the last I heard.}

27 Jan 2020 22:07:53
Thanks for the quick reply.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - welcome mate. Fingers crossed it is not thought to be too bad so he could be back soon. Personally though I wouldn't mind if they let him have a break until after the winter break is done.}

28 Jan 2020 13:23:09
Out for west ham and Southampton. Back after the break.

Morning Eds,

Ed001 always states about Salah/ agent are keen for him to get a move to Real.

I was chatting to an ex colleague of mine who works with a energy drink franchise within football. He also has close ties to Liverpool. He more or less confirmed that there is a more than high chance that Salah is gone in the summer.

Stating that Liverpool also have quite a big war chest to play with in the summer.

He named 3 players they are looking at one being Mathieu Gonçalves was one as back up to Robertson. tbh I havnt heard of him.

any ideas?

{Ed001's Note - I am pretty sure that it is not me that states that, though it is true.

Goncalves is just a kid at Toulouse, so I know little about him, he is just 18 and I have no idea if we are interested sorry. I will add him to the list for a player profile.}

True that there is a high chance Salah go’s in the summer. I hope not! We need to keep the squad together if we are going to compete for a prolonged number of years.

I’m personally ok with Salah leaving. His lack of team spirit and increased greed are becoming an issue for me. Super player but with the money we’d get and our current status in European football, I’m confident we would replace with an equally good player. He’s the most replaceable of the front 3 in my opinion and of any of our top players.

Forced to choose losing one of Mane, Bobby, VVD, Alisson or Salah, it’s Mo all day long.

I get what your saying Shaq and he can be a little greedy but what he does for the team is going to be very hard to replace imo. He scores as many as top Strikers do. His assists and work rate is top notch also. He drags 2 or 3 players towards him creating space for others.

I for one certainly hope he doesn’t leave. I can’t think of many players who score and assist as many as he does? .

27 Jan 2020 10:50:00
We would be crazy to let mo go! Yes he’s greedy all top strikers are. He is key to the way we play.

Players come and go.

Remember the feeling and emotion, and the arguments when Torres left? Or Coutinho? Or maybe some others? Few came in after, some even doubted by some supporters. And now we are top of the league.

I am with others here. I really hope it'll be the same team for next season, maybe some additions. But if someone leaves, and Klopp is still here, I think I am okay with that. I am sure he'll know what he needs to do.

Agree6 Disagree0

27 Jan 2020 12:06:41
We wouldn’t let him go without a suitable backup I’m sure.

Salah is an extraordinary player, and while I’ve always felt his finishing could at time be inconsistent, the sheer number of opportunities he creates is incredible.

He’s always a threat, and there aren’t many players you can say that about game in, game out.

While you are at it ed1 could you add Diego Carlos, the CB at Seville to your list for a profile. He's been linked to many clubs including yous lot for a quite significant fee but never seen him play much myself.
Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - that's fine mate, he is already on the list. Which is good as I have not seen much of him either so I get to watch him.}

27 Jan 2020 14:27:18
Any chance of telling us the other 2 players your mate said were looking at Stral?

Agree1 Disagree0

ed001 I don't see salah going anywhere come the summer he will be 28 in the summer and the fee we would want would be greater than Coutinho then only for that team to lose him for up 6 weeks in jan and feb. There would only may be 5 teams he would leave us for PSG Madrid Barcelona Juventus or Bayern. 3 of them have very big building jobs ahead of them so am not sure if they would have the money to spend on Salah. and as for Shaq Attack point about being the most replaceable I don't know where you stand on it ed but if he gets over 20 league goals this season I would never think that is going to be easy. He drives me mad sometimes when he ignores an easy pass but his running in behind defenders is non stop and people need to remember you don't know what you have till its gone.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't think he will be easy to replace and I will be gutted when he goes. I don't think it will be this summer either, despite his agent's best efforts.}

27 Jan 2020 16:37:23
agree ed001 I love the whole squad we have at the minute but the front 3 are very special and 2 might have an of day but 1 of them all ways turns up. But I can't believe some of the stick he gets of some of are fans Suarez was the last forward to score 20 goals a season for us 2 years on the trot before him I think it was fowler but if he gets 20+ this season I don't know who was the last Liverpool player to do for 3 years.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - we are very lucky right now, long may it last!}

27 Jan 2020 21:43:29
It is a privilege to play for our great club no one is bigger than the club remember when Ian rush left king Kenny packed in we move on if they want to go let them there are plenty of world class players would love to don the red of liverpool.

Have we arguably got a little Mo in waiting in the form of Elliott?

On my sons fifa I sold salah added 25 million nike further added a £75 million bung under the table cleverly hidden in a lucrative sponsorship on a new line of jock straps they have created to hide the bung and bought mbappe so I didn't even notice salah had left i never realised fifa had such depth and skulduggery in their games my son assured me that if enough people do the same on their fifa ultimate team its 99% sure to be nailed on.

Agree similar in style but a very long way to go before you can say in terms of impact on game Silvered. They are worlds apart in terms of quality - exactly as it should be given he’s so young.

Why do you compare Fifa to real lofe football 😂.

I'd be gutted to see any of our star forwards leave but the positive thing to consider is that if we were to sell currently we are in a position of power, all are on long contracts, we don't desperately need money, players aren't publically fuelling transfer wishes and right now we are capable of targeting the best players around in the transfer market. If we have to lose salah then it's best to lose him when we are in a position of strenght to get the best deal and have the best chance to replace with quality of his level. It's the likes of Torres being replaced by Carroll, Alonso by aquilani, Suarez with balotelli or sterling never being replaced. In the last decade when our best players moved on, we were miles away from being capable of filling their roles due to multiple reasons I've listed which we now have working in our favour.

I agree with Har_red92. It would be a massive loss, but we can literally attract anyone in world football at the moment. Every team needs to keep evolving or they go stale, like city a little bit this year. So if he moves I think we’ll be ok. Jurgen isn’t stupid and he’d get in a good replacement.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tend to agree with Shaq Attack - Salah drives me crazy when he doesn't pass the ball!

The problem is that I can see the players around him growing frustrated with him. I've seen Mane and Firmino throwing their hands up in the air. Even Ox doing it last game.

Klopp has created such team spirit that I hope Salah nurtures more. I find him specially selfish when Mane is in good positions and I find Mane the most frustrated out of everyone just by their reactions on the pitch.
