I am sure that the club would jump at the chance of extending Salah's contract, but whether he wants to stay for another few years is another matter.
 
Does he really want to go and play in front of low audiences in a shit league? Maybe the massive money will talk, but Salah really does seem to be a player who thinks about his legacy beyond the financial sense. He's also so fit that he could sign another contract extension and go in another 2 years if he wants to.
 
Yes I agree, and that's why I was never entirely convinced that he was desperate to go to the Saudi league.

However, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he still sees a chance of joining another big European team.
 
It's still win-win for us if we can persuade him and his team to extend. If he does keep up his level - win, if he doesn't we have a strong position to sell to the Arab league - win
 
That’s an almightily impressive stat to be the top goal scorer for all English clubs in 6 years considering others on the list.
 


Peter Lorimer - in the days when footballers were 'flash' but not global superstars he used to go to the same club in Batley as my Dad. I've got photos of him, Paul Madely, and their wives from the early 70's. Sadly all passed now
 
His trickery is his pass to Dom in the build up to Nunez’s goal was the highlight of the game for me. Completely confused the defender and the pass was perfect
 
Extracts from Bobby’s new book about Mo and Mane:

Their argument wasn’t funny. Potentially, it could have caused problems for us. But that ironic face I made was the face of someone who knew it wouldn’t lead to anything serious. Maybe the Boss [Jürgen Klopp] and some others were worried. I wasn’t! I think the Liverpool fans, seeing my reaction, had a laugh, put their worries aside, and went to celebrate another victory with their friends.

I don’t know if he was aware of it or not, but Salah used to frustrate everyone when he didn’t pass the ball. I knew how to handle that situation better than most. Klopp addressed this issue in front of all of us: when a teammate was in a better position, the ball had to be passed. It was a clear hint aimed at Salah. Over the years, I must say, this aspect of his game improved significantly. He gradually learned to be less selfish and more cooperative – notwithstanding the fact that he is a striker, a goalscorer, and every goalscorer tends to be a bit ‘greedy’ in the pursuit of a goal. That’s normal.

Mané was more intense in both good and bad moments. He was the most explosive of the three of us and he was also the person with whom I had the most freedom to discuss this issue. I was always talking to him, giving advice, trying to calm him down. I would tell him to find peace, play for the team, and stay relaxed.

They were never best friends; each kept himself to himself. It was rare to see the two of them talking and I’m not sure if that had to do with the Egypt–Senegal rivalry in African competitions. I truly don’t know. But they also never stopped talking, never severed ties. They always acted with the utmost professionalism.

I see they want to ger rid of Nuno after already getting rid of Robbie. I get the feeling SL is not going to be a long term gig.
 
They have limits on foreign players don't they, which are pretty low?

I guess if you are in a league with those kinds of limits, and you have huge amounts of money then you're likely to want to move players on fairly quickly if they aren't performing.

Quite why they imposed a low(ish) limit on foreign players when they don't seem to have many limits on anything else is anyone's guess.
