Other clubs' transfers

Salad can get paid more elsewhere and Liverpool will have their limit as they’re not as rich as some clubs, both have understandable positions. What’s annoying is Salah’s PR bullshit of “I really want to stay at Liverpool but it’s up to the club and out of my hands.” Anyway, I hope he does leave.

I don't understand the 'where is the loyalty' argument anymore tbh. There'll be no loyalty when he's on the downturn, fans are saying he needs replacing and the club start shopping him around at every opportunity. 

 

The 'love the club' shit is certainly disingenuous but if you see peers earning more than you than I don't blame you for wanting to be on a par, especially when it's likely your last big payday.

It's not like LFC will be in peril or face a serious down-turn if they pay him what he wants. It won't stop them being profitable even.

 

They just don't want to break their financial model because if they do, other players will want more money and eventually LFC wll become less profitable.

Liverpool have done a pretty good job of looking to replace their front three with the Jota and Diaz signings. 

 

There's still no Salah replacement though and losing him for the sake of 100k per week seems a bit daft.

No he couldn't. And not for this amount of time on his contract considering the fee we paid.

 

 

Salah could join any LFC rival and get what he's demanding.


 

You dont know this so stop making things up.  It was said in swedish television that a journalist close to A. Madrid said that he could have earned more in Madrid if he had stayed for longer, also that there were other clubs circling around which would have been able to offer more if he had been willing to wait.

 

Trippier himself even recently said that he could have earned more where he was, and that was without waiting for other clubs.

 

Unless this journalist was making things up for no reason whatsoever, and Trippier himself also lying. So stop trying to be a oracle.

Ok fair enough. He wanted to move closer to home.  
 

Salah is from a different continent. There’s no reason he should be paid less than he could at Liverpool over another top European side. If he was moving to a much less competitive league for the money, I would understand the criticism.

Considering Rashford is on £350k a week or whatever, Salah has every right to ask for £400k

 

Salah deserves 400K-500K salary. No doubt about it. Problem is that we cant afford it. It is not as simple as why loose him for an extra 100-150K. A lot of our players have a clause where their salary is bumped up if their salary is lower than a percentage of the maximum wage. Such clauses are quite common nowadays.

 

Also when it becomes time for Jota, Diaz, Van Dijk, Allison, TAA salary negotiation, they will start demanding 300-350K. It will become like Barca with Messi. Definitely Messi deserved the salary that Barcelona was paying him. Problem is that salary became the benchmark for negotiation for Suarez, Coutinho, Griezmann, etc. and Messi's salary started lifting the salaries of those around him until it became unsustainable. I maybe wrong here but I think a lot of Man United's high wages were driven by the crazy contract they handed out to De Gea and Alexis Sanchez. 

 

We maybe able to just afford Salah's salary but not the resulting inflation it will bring about.

Nah, can see why people would say it but his England and Real Madrid exploits in last 3 months say otherwise.

Just having this debate with a mate:

who's the most overrated player in your lifetime...

 

Appreciate this is dependent on number of factors.

 

Depends on how you define overrated. If you are thinking overrated the top end of the pool,  look at the Balon d'or winners around 1996 to 2002, one name stands out:

 

Ronaldo, Zidane, Rivaldo, Figo, Owen,  Ronaldo.

 

Don't get me wrong, he was a brilliant striker for us and one of the most exciting 18 year old I have seen playing for us. But the Balon d'or? Especially since his single season goalscoring statistics have been comfortably eclipsed at LFC itself by Torres, Suarez, Salah and maybe  Jota this season. 

 

At the other end, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain. I have seen him play for 4-5 years and I still have no clue what his best position is? Yet to see a game where he dominates and leaves the mark. He is a nice guy and puts out really good social media content. But other than that, not sure what the fuss , whatever little he had, is.
