Haven't we got something in the contract when we sold Coutinho to Barca that there is £100 million surcharge if they buy another player from us on 3 years, so if Salah is valued at £150 million, Barca have to pay £250 million!

I'm sorry, what? What reason do you have to believe his agent or he are angling for a move? The one time his agent has ever made a public comment was to rubbish a rumor to Madrid.

Firmino is my favorite of the 3, and I understand how some prefer Mane, but neither have matched the frankly bonkers numbers Salah has had the past 2 years in a red shirt. 71 goals and 26 assists in 2 years. Tell me, who can we sign to replace that? Back to back golden boots. A champions league medal. What else do you want from a forward? Anything more than that is Messi-Ronaldo tier.

i would love it if we could make anfield bigger. AM hoping fsg give some money for that bloody train line and the we can make our stadium 60k plus

yes Salah has great scoring stats,half as good this season as they were last season. its more about his general play,he cant just be judged on his goals.the CL final for example,he got on the score sheet but he was crap for 90 mins.his control lets him down so many times his decision making is poor.his passing is weak and dont get me started on his corner taking ability.we have seen the best of Salah and he believes he should be playing for Real madrid because he has the impression that they are a bigger fish than LFC.he will be anohter player who will struggle after thinking that we are a stepping stone.So yes while his stock is high and before the Salah bubble bursts i would take as much money as we can get and build a better team just like we did when Couthino left.

I kind of agree with this, just maybe not to the same extent as expressed above. I'm often underwhelmed by Salah's overall play, and his decision making in the final third can be very poor.

That said, he is still getting us a lot of goals, and I think having him on the pitch creates more space for others just based on his reputation.

I think Mane is the better player overall though.

That said, I'd only sell Salah if we got a great price and had a top quality replacement in the bag. But other than Sancho, I can't think (off the top of my head) of any top wingers that would be obtainable as a replacement (and even then Sancho is still a youngster).

This season we will have, the prem, fa cup, league cup, world club and the champions league. With the style that klopp plays, serious energy is required. this will present an issue for us in terms of the quality of our back up.

We have a first team capable of beating any team in the world. However, our cover in certain areas isn't good enough.

if any of mane, salah or bobby are injured, the quality of the replacements seriously diminishes the frontline. We cannot reasonably expect players who were in for almost every game this season to get through next season without injury. it would be too risky.

the injuries to taa, gomez and matip this season, i believe, cost us the leauge. cover is going to be crucial.

1) i would like to see us buy ryan sessegnon. he's young and can fill in anywhere down the right side. can cover for robbo or mane. will only cost 30m. has loads of energy and i think klopp could really develop him.

2) I'd like to see us buy an attacking midfielder/false 9. someone who can pick a pass when the pressing isn't working. someone who can offer us something different and cover for bobby.

3) aside from that, cover for the gk and lets see how the yound lads coming in would do and i think we will be fine.

like others i'd like to see grujic being given some game time. I think we would be good cover for fabinho.

If he hadn't had the season he had last year, I don't think anyone would feel this way about his contribution now. He didn't have the sharpest 90 minutes, but neither did anyone: red or white shirts.

27 goals and 10 assists is a fantastic contribution, better than any season Hazard has ever had. He still is highly creative and deadly on the dribble. That outside of the boot assist at Bayern stands out as one example. Mid-season, he had a dry spell, and he was snatching at thingas to try and break his duck, but I don't understand people who say all he does is score goals. And that's not even mentioning the space he create for the other 3. Mane has had his best ever season, partially because of the space Salah has created for him.

And you have given me no evidence that he wants to go to Real or sees himself as bigger than LFC other than you say so. We don't need money. We have buckets of it from this year's league finish and CL winnings. If we want to continue winning things, we need to hold onto our best players.

One thing though, I don't think he should take our penalties, doesn't look naturally clinical and usually goes for power.

Fair enough. I'd have Milner, Firmino, Fabinho, and Henderson in line ahead of him for pens. Not terribly convincing, but he scored, so that's all that matters. After what happened to him last year, you can't blame him for wanting to take it.

I think we are now in a position where top players will want to play for us.

We have built a strong squad and a few top quality additions will keeps us ticking over nicely.
