Decky Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I don't understand the hostility Liverpool fans have towards TAA, that they don't have for Salah and VVD. Yes he's a local lad, but he's played 350 games for them and won everything, maybe he wants to travel a bit and try something new? He owes them nothing. They seem to think he should sign a new contract so Liverpool gets a fee, but that could completely jeopardise his move. What if Liverpool want £80m for him and Madrid say no thanks? He arrived as a child for free and after everything he's done he should be allowed to go for free with his head held high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The fact that Liverpool haven’t sorted contracts for those three and they’ve been open about it in public suggests they’re not happy about the way they’ve been handled by the club. Most clubs don’t have an issue locking down their best players who have been there for years during a premier league title winning season so it suggests there are some issues we don’t know about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I thought they probably ought to have sold at least one of them last year if not 2 to fund Arne Slot rebuild, however I also thought they wouldnt be competitive for the title in the period of transition anyway so my thought was good time to rebuild under new coach. Evidently I am wrong and was probably worth it if they all go. Liverpool fans have nothing to be angry at TAA for, he has given loads to the club. Spoiled cunts.

Sibierski Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) TAA off on a free, massive downgrade incoming. VVD / Salah could be off and no news because they’re still playing games whilst title is ongoing. Allison potentially wanting out in summer for that insane Saudi money having won everything with Liverpool. A midfield three where I’m not convinced it’s some legit top stuff and need a new body, with an attack that’s inconsistent outside of Salah and needing to get rid of Nunez. They’ll likely be champions, but there’s a strong chance they could be in a poor shape next season. Edit: Also forgot Robertson over past 18 months is showing more a player who’s aging and legs are going too. Edited March 25 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they end up losing Salah, VDV and Trent for nothing this summer that would be extraordinarily poor from them due to the value those players have had recently. What was that Saudi bid they turned down for Salah again £200 million?! Crazy. Looking forward to the summer, should be very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on but there's not a chance they'll see it that way, they'll say be betrayed them Plus if he signed a contract to get Liverpool a fee he would just be taking money out of his pocket with a lower signing on fee and reduced wages, why on earth should he do that just so FSG can benefit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep arguably that’s 3 of their best 4 in danger of going - with Alisson potentially - Robertson at the end of his cycle - bar Gakpo an underperforming (relatively speaking) frontline - some job ahead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monters Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Unless he's asking for a monstrous wage then they'd be made not to give him a decent length deal... he's rarely injured, comes across as extremely dedicated and still class! Plus the sweetener would be at the first sign of any performance drop they could still sell him for a massive chunk of change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I think fans assume that local players will always want to stay forever but not everyone is like that. Some love their club deeply but still want to see the world a bit, try a new challenge, and there's nothing wrong with that. Fair play to TAA.

They will want to maintain their wage structure. All three players have counter offers from clubs knowing they don’t need to pay fees and already have a bigger wage structure (Saudis, PSG, Real Madrid) so worst case scenario for Liverpool and the timing that they all end this summer. They’ll recover from losing all three a lot better than many are thinking IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 It’s a very tricky situation with VVD and Salah, I reckon both will have large, multi year offers from elsewhere. Salah is already rumoured to be on £350k-£400k already, raise that again and you are eating into your own ability to replace him. Do you off them both single year extensions on improved terms and kick the can down the road? Do you offer them a multi year deal and risk paying monumental wages to players the wrong side of 35? It’s a pivotal moment for them on one where they don’t hold many of the cards or much of the leverage. Will be interesting to see the level of investment from them in the summer, as for the most part John Henry and co are the Glazers with much better scouting. They are looking to make money.

Ben Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Ben Jacobs said Salah was leaving 18 months ago. Something to do with the new TV deal starting this summer, I also think the fact that FIFA have also changed transfer rules to allow the Saudi team to sign players before the club World Cup is also a pointer.
