KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Mo Salah - Yes or No?

Mo Salah is the latest name linked. We've had bid rejected and it looks like we will go back in with another offer of £35mil

I don't like the Italian market as we never do well. But that seems to be mostly Italian players.

Salah has excelled since going to Italy and is one of the fastest players in world football. He has around 30 goals in 80 games for Roma which is pretty amazing.

I've no idea where he will play for us. He plays Right wing which is where Mane plays.

Maybe as he front 3/4 all rotate he can adapt to that.

He will be used to a high pressing game as that's how Roma operated under Spalletti

In 2011 he came close to join us and for some reason people seem to think he rejected us. Which isn't the case

Here are his quotes

Liverpool had wanted me for a number of months. They had opened talks in October 2013,” Salah told MBC Masr, cited by IBTimes.

“Negotiations took a long time, because Basel rejected more than one offer. They felt the transfer fee was not that high. I was waiting for Liverpool because I really like Liverpool. I was eager to join them.


£11mil later he signs for Chelsea.

I'm excited for Salah when mane left we had zero pace in the side. He adds even more pace than mane. he has goals and assists which can only be seen as a bargain if he arrives for less than 40mil

Prices are stupid these days. But it's not our money so let's ignore fees

No, I'd prefer Mahrez for similar money, he's proven in the PL, Salah did nothing at Chelsea, did any of us watch Chelsea when he played and think 'Oh no, we missed a good player there?'.

Also, Roma are taking the p*ss with the transfer fee, because we are from PL, in Athletico Madrid would have bid £28 million they would have sold him, because we are PL they want £40+ million, we should tell them where to stuff it.

No. not even for £10m.

“But then I received a phone call from Mourinho and that changed everything. He explained the situation to me and told me that he needed me at Chelsea. That was one of the main reasons why I joined Chelsea.

“Mourinho told me that he thought I was a good player and that he wanted me to pick Chelsea.”

So he knew we wanted him for a while; he knew Basel were stalling; apparently he liked us but one call from someone else changed everything. Fair enough he was young... but still means that he followed some other attraction than playing for LFC. so no thanks.

We should go for him. The price is high but he's only 24 and coming off a very good season. We're gonna be charged stupid money no matter who we go for but in Salah I think we'd have a player that Klopp actually wants and one who'd go straight into the first team.

To be fair, Chelsea met the asking price, where as we failed to deliver. I'm sure Brodge called Salah as well, if we met the asking price, Salah would have said 'Brodge called me and said what an outstanding player I was'.

It's a professionals game, and the players and their agents are professional actors in this game, so we can't expect all who sign to play for us to be diehard Liverpool supporters. This guy could see that we were wrangling over buttons in the fee notations "for a long time" and you can be damned sure they we're wrangling over a few quid on his wages too. Is it any wonder therefore when an offer from Maureen came in the went for the bird in the hand rather than the very dubious bird on the bush? He says he really likes Liverpool, and imo that's more than can be said for some we've signed over the years. If he's good enough and we have the option again to sign him, we should do so, but we'll probably let someone slip in again while we haggle over a few quid.

Exactly. Players who say what they don't necessarily mean. Didn't have any passion for LFC as such.

Anyway, the buck stops with Klopp. Up to him how he uses his funds. Have to back Klopp for now simply on the back of his signing of Mane. If we get Salah and he's a success then all is good. If he's a failure then Klopp would have to pay the price - which will depend on how other signings and the team overall perform.

It's just disappointing that we're not in for an exciting new name. e.g. stepping in to sign Griezman for £80m or so would be a real statement of intent.

We all know FSG's intent is not to go anywhere near those kinda of players Mighty,dunno about Salah but this is kinda the best we can expect.

I didn't want to say it for the sake of being laughed at, but why the [oops] should we not try to go for Griezman? I know he's £80m, but he's worth it. He's a world class player. We're looking to spend £200 m this year right? 80 on him and there will be enough to buy other players. Sounds outrageous, but whatever.
