KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Salah signs new £200k a week

If Salah continues as is then I would expect him to stay another couple of years and then move on to a bigger more ambitious club. I would be happy with that

Such a massive bonus after one season. If he had led our successful assault on trophies I would half agree with a bonus. It seems a bit much since it is his first season and we won now't. We will look foolish if he loses form or breaks down.

Yes I had that thought too. My guess is it's about shoring up his resale value if he has another season like the last one the big clubs will come in and Liverpool will be vulnerable if he is on rekevatively low wages. There is also the knock on effect to think of firminho mane VVD will probably be knocking on the agents door as well. All this is passed onto the fans one way or another

Can't see Salah being a one-hit wonder. He has too much in his game to be. He might not hit the crazy heights of last season. But he will hit over 20 league goals I am sure off.

All it is to a club like us at the moment protecting his value. Giving him a bonus as a reward and bringing him into a similar pay scale as other similar players. The contract is his commitment for the immediate future, nothing more. If keeps playing at a very high level and we don't win trophies. He will be gone contract or not.

Saying that I am expecting trophies soon with the talent in the squad and hopefully coming into the squad

We'll look more foolish if we lose him for not paying him enough.

He broke I don't know howm many records and led us to a CL final.

Wages doesn't have anything to do with resale value unless the contract has only couple of years left. It's more about showing him how he is valued and makes it difficult for other teams to attract him, ie, makes him more interested to stay. If he had one or 2 years left in his contract, then yes.

Apparently there is no sell on clause as well

Doesn't that leave us open to low ball bids from the likes of Barca and Real, etc?

But we can name our price. We don't do sell on clauses, this is why Can didn't sign a new contract.

We are trying to build a team of players that don't want to leave the club as fast as they are approached by Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Top class players staying here for their entire careers is what will bring continuous success for the long term future.

At least I hope that's what we're doing...
