They are supposedly developing womens leagues over there unless I'm mistaken. How would that even work? Much of the youth are desperate to modernise, but there's a significant middle aged population in positions of power who are scared of losing their traditional values and want the brakes applied. I get both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Twitter account - Pythagoras in Boots (I think is the name) - that highlighted his lack of obvious position as a weakness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I really, REALLY wish they'd stop giving all our rivals massive warchests for their old players. It's getting very annoying and it's really not helping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Even at 31 he's still absolutely brilliant and will be very, very hard to replace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 £120m is a hilarious price. He's an incredible player but he's definitely past his peak and for him to go for well more than even Harry Kane this summer would be mental. Liverpool shouldn't think twice about that if it's true.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I'd rather he stayed and continued to get poorer at Liverpool than give them £120m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 It's an insane fee but it's very hard to replace a 30 goal a season winger and very easy to spend £120m badly. He's been papering over a lot of their cracks for the last year and losing him would massively hurt their chances at top 4 this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Salah is a guaranteed 30 G/A player in the PL. No amount of money guarantees that and Liverpool don’t have the best pull in the world. But any Klopp team will score lots of goals. But nobody as predictably as Salah when you factor in fitness and consistency. I don’t even think they buy a replacement. Szob and Jota can play there. They can spend what it will take to sign the left over CMs they might really want and other positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve bought a bunch of good attacking players - but none as prolific, consistent and fit as Salah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Not so good short term for Liverpool, but they'd be mad to turn down £120m for a 31 year old winger whos main weapon is his pace. Only other left footed player who can play that position is Harvey Elliott so would be interesting to see how Klopp would line up without Salah and without a replacement.

The sponsor deals he'd open would even help his club close the profit/loss gap that so many are burdened by. It's not terribly different to Inter Miami getting Messi. He'll be one of the best players in that league and could easy go for four or five years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
