Fjortoft has tweeted that he thinks Salah will leave this week.



No idea whether he tends to be on the money or not. Anyway, I think it would be absolutely crazy to sell him, and also a shit decision by Salah to go when he's still near the top of his game.

I would trust him on transfers from certain clubs in Germany as he is pretty well connected to clubs like Frankfurt. But in regards to Salah he has got no clue. He's a bit of a mediawhore who loves attention and retweets and this is just about being interesting imho.

His last info regarding Liverpool was that Bellingham would join, so you can see the level of info he gets..

No, that has never been mentioned from his side and he has no links to him in terms of the clubs he has played for.
I would trust this info with as much trust as if you read it in the Croydon Observer.

Salah aint moving.
 
Wouldn't sell based on the fact that the money won't be spent to replace him and improve the side. It will be pocketed by the owners.

We already have around 100m for the Caicedo bid that we're not reinvesting.

Much less getting rid of a legend and not replacing him.

Also, when sold Coutinho. We were able to spend 75m and 60m on two obvious world class talents.

Nowadays 75m only gets you a Cheick Doucoure apparently.

You keep saying that with very little to back it up other than hope.
 
If they offer us 200 million etc - we will sell.
Is it the right decision?
Not unless it's to sign 3 players who are of the quality of Mac Allister ...
Is that doable? Maybe, but not NOW.
So let's hope the bid is like how the Hendo bid started and then we can worry about this in Jan.

What would happen is we'd sign 1 player of decent quality in a rush (nowhere near the quality of Salah for an overpriced fee), and then rest of the money would go towards funding our Jan and Summer transfer windows next year, but not in the way people think.

Oh and all the fcuking mathematicians will be building imaginary "summer transfer lists" which includes:

"90m left from the failed Caicedo bid + 100m left from the Salah money + our usual 60m net spend means we'll have a warchest of 250+m".

And then come the summer, we'll net spend 60m again. And that will be that.

I don't trust our owners to invest all of the money - so I don't think it makes any sense to do this rushed, when we can still have a successful season.

Top Reds will be happy with that, it's another year wasted.

Me neither. If we don't sign any more top level talent between now and the end of the window (or if we sell good players). I'll be converted from a "neutral" to part of the "FSG out" brigade.

This was the summer for them to make a statement of intent, and whilst it started well and promised much (Caicedo), so far I have to say they've failed.
 
Let's assume there is serious money on the table.
Fast forward 2 years. Salah has just left on a free and SCM is in meltdown that we "didn't cash in when we could have done".
That's the dilemma for the club if the Saudis put serious money on the table.
This was almost certainly going to happen. So either our plan was that we were always going to say no, which is fine (subject to the leave on a free in 2 years scenario). Or else we didn't have a plan, which is not OK, because this was totally predictable.

Sell him at the end of THIS season, when there's a proper plan in place.

You can't tell me there won't be queue of Saudi/Arab clubs looking to buy him - the best ever, most recognisable Muslim player next year.

I'd sooner take 75m next season (without having to write off this season).
Than take 150m this season (& effectively write off a whole year).
 
Mohamed Salah is more to Liverpool than just goals – he’s an assist machine

Salah’s assist against Newcastle was his 76th in all competitions for the club. It is the sixth most of all Liverpool players who have debuted since the start of 1969-70. Only Kenny Dalglish (176), Steven Gerrard (145), John Barnes (101), Steve McManaman (85) and Ian Rush (83) have more.

it has taken him to second outright in Premier League assists for the club (60), surpassing McManaman’s total of 58. Only Steven Gerrard has more, with 92.

It may feel like a new thing for Salah, an adaptation to his game as he enters the later years of his career, but in only one of his six seasons at the club, he has finished with less than double figures

Salah's assists per season in all comps
2017-18 14
2018-19 10
2019-20 13
2020-21 6
2021-22 15
2022-23 16
2023-24 2*

Last season, the 31-year-old’s total of 16 assists, including 12 in the league, was his highest and he contributed 30 goals in a team that struggled for most of the season.

Next summer sale unless it’s either a really ridiculous offer or a ridiculous offer and we have a decent replacement available.

I'm not even sure he'd leave next summer. If we make one of the European Cup places is he going to pass up another crack at it?

My assumption (based on very little, I fully admit) is that he will want to move on anyway. He'll have been here a long time, and there must be a reason why he didn't sign an especially long contract.

I am not convinced yet that he will want to move to Saudi. If Real Madrid came knocking on the door, he'd probably prefer that, but of course that's when we see how important the money is.

I think we bid that much for Caicedo knowing that Salah money was potentially incoming. If Caicedo had agreed to come to us, we would have accepted the Saudi bid for Salah.
