Yeah that's true. I just wanted to highlight our wing problem.

Oh and here's another little tidbit. The World cup is being played in the summer before the AFCON.
YAY! Double trouble!

Wow that's a fixture congestion alright, but I believe it is the hallmark of an elite club to be able to compete on all fronts, especially the AFCON.

Imagine if Senegal and Egypt qualify for the world cup. We surely can't let them play in two tournaments within 7-8 months. Anyhow...that's a problem for the future.
 
This will be finished this week by the looks of it. Doubts about where he will start for us and the AFCON is a pain in the ass but overall I'm excited by Salah and predict big things. He's significantly outscored every one of our players over the last two seasons and provides the extra pace we so desperately lack when Mane is unavailable. We will be devastating on the counter next season. With Coutinho speed of thought and Manes and Salah speed of foot we will dominate the league. He's the missing piece! Now just another four missing pieces to find.
 
Has it been confirmed that we still get to play in the AFCON even though Man Utd won the Europa League?
 
Rumoured that Salah will be given the number 9. I was thinking how gash our number 9s have been since Torres left, only to be reminded that the 9s before him (bar the return of God) were all pretty much gash too.
 
Imagine if someone told you at the end of the season we would be going all out for Mohammed Salah.

Fucking expectations tempered ay?

There were people on here saying how great he was last season and we should take a look. He's one of the top performing players in his position in Europe right now, and that's exciting. Some people would be wanking over us being linked with Douglas Costa when he has less than a third of Salah's goals and assists and a fraction of Salah's workrate.

This guy is made for our system. I'll be made up if we sign him.

This...

I can't believe people still judge players without consideration as to how they'd fit in to our style & system.

Let's call it "Benteke Syndrome" - a capable player who scores goals consistently - unless of course you have a system based on fast, high pressing and intelligent movement - then he's a fucking lamp post.

Salah didn't fit Mourniho's system - probably too Attack-minded to play 2nd left back in Mourniho's 9-0-1 system.

Forget the transfer fee, it's just a number.

Will he fit into and excel in a Klopp system? Can he perform at a high level consistently?

Yes to these question and we should sign.
 
Egypt airlines did tweet their thanks to him for using him. Word is he flies to the UK about 4pm from Cairo, and is due in the UK at 9pm this evening.
 
Joyce: Salah due to land in England today & Reds have no interest in Aubemayang

{td}Mohamed Salah is scheduled to fly to England today as his ?35 million-plus move to Liverpool from Roma edges closer.

Salah, the Egyptian international, who turned down Liverpool three years ago to sign for Chelsea in a ?12 million transfer, was due to leave Cairo early this morning for London.

He could now undergo a medical tomorrow and finalise a transfer which, dependant on add-ons, would make him the costliest player in Liverpool’s history, outstripping the ?35 million paid for Andy Carroll in 2011. Sources in Italy suggest the final fee could be as much as ?39 million.

Roma’s new sporting director Monchi has forced Liverpool to considerably up their offer since rejecting a ?28 million bid a fortnight ago and has secured a huge profit on a player who only joined the Serie A side permanently a year ago for ?13 million.
Salah came into focus when Bayer Leverkusen’s Julian Brandt turned down Liverpool’s overtures and will boost manager J?rgen Klopp’s options in wide areas.

Liverpool lacked pace when Sadio Man? was injured or on Africa Cup of Nations duty and Salah can offer that attribute. He is one of the few players Liverpool have revisited having missed out on signing him in recent seasons.

Klopp is looking to strengthen at left back and in midfield this summer, but is no longer interested in players such as Ben Chilwell, Piotr Zielinski or Mahmoud Dahoud, who were transfer targets less than 12 months ago but proved out of reach.

The arrival of Salah will be Liverpool’s second successful venture into the transfer market after Dominic Solanke, whose move from Chelsea will be subject to a transfer tribunal.

They were** forced to publicly withdraw interest in Virgil van Dijk after Southampton accused Liverpool of tapping up the defender, although that episode is unlikely to have run its course with the transfer window not even officially open.**

Liverpool continue to covet Red Bull Leipzig’s Naby Ke?ta, whose side say he is not for sale, although there is no interest in Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Sources in Germany claim the striker did not enjoy a good relationship with Klopp when they worked together.{/td}

Signing an AFCON player because another player will be unavailable due to the same national cup commitment is just so Liverpool.

This deal needs to be closed off already .Its well into saga territory. With Salah squirreled away we can revisit the VVD deal..
 
So Joyce thinks VVD and Keita are still on the card, cool.

We will sign both. But will no doubt get shafted on the price, so now that salah is on his way, a top top super expensive striker seems less likely to be landing this season
