Probably 4. With Danns being one of the backup from 5th place.
I really have no idea how Slot will set up and whether we need Salah, Nunez, Gakpo, Jota and Diaz. That’s without considering if he would have a more play lots of 10s philosophy which could be Elliott, Mac, SoBoss and whoever else.
I wouldn’t want us to spend money on someone who will accept starting just 10 games this coming season. I want someone who will be wanting to start 40 or 50 games. We can’t put hopes on someone who may get good enough after a season but to eventually hinder his own development for the sake of keeping Salah happy.
On the flip side, I wouldn’t want us to keep a club legend who doesn’t realise he can’t play every game and needs to be taken out of the side when the time comes.
Playing behind someone is different to rotation, if you have Olise who comes and demands ahead of another player than his attitude would be at question here.
There is more than enough games to go around, Rodrygo isn't coming and Kudus I bet would come to be rotated. Diaz came to be rotated, Darwin came and same for Gakpo.

Diaz went straight into the first team didn’t he? I have no idea on the plan for Nunez or Gakpo. Doesn’t seem like the club did either.
It will not be 10 games, our reserves will get around that.
I know you don't want to keep a club legend around but like I said, he is going to stay next season I assume it looks like whether you like it or not. So we need to look at it objectively about how we sign a RW player which we haven't done for how many years now? and plan for the future.
Only because they moved Mane to the middle and I think Mane and Salah were at Afcon in Jan when we signed Diaz over Dec right?
I see it Ward has 2 options. Sign a right winger for next season and he has to be good enough to push Salah out of the side. Or, don’t get one for the coming season and see it as a next summer problem.
Mane was moved into the middle. Probably because he legs had gone by then and couldn’t beat a man if I remember right. Mane only missed Diaz’s debut against Leicester and both played more than 60 minutes in the vast majority of games till the end of the season.
It's not the same thing.
It's workable if you're signing an 18 year old from Brazil or something like that who will need time to transition.
If you're looking to sign a very good player in his early 20's who likely has options, he needs to play... and will likely have alternative options that can offer him starting status. I don't think that not wanting to play second fiddle at a crucial stage of your development suggests any kind of attitude problem.
The only type of "ready now" player we could get for this role is someone who either hero worships Salah or wants to come to Liverpool at all costs for some reason (most likely due lack of other equivalent options).
Some games and some games in the ressies is not very likely to bring a player in of anywhere near the quality, that's the point. So you're kicking the development of a new attack down the road, and likely the guy who came in is an option, and we need better anyway.
Slutty will most likely move us to a 4-2-3-1, and we will sign a wide player this summer.
He seems to like to set up his wingers as wide as possible and always target to go 1 v 1. Pace and dribbling skills seem to be traits that his wingers must have.
Where Salah will play will be interesting to see, but its quite clear that he will stay for at least one more year.
To be honest I think it good for continuity and the balance of the squad that he stays in regards to all the changes that are happening.

Option 2, the way of the procrastinator.
Diaz joined at 23 when he could have elsewhere with Mane in his place, pretty normal in a big club to factor in compeition.
He was going to join us but turned us down because Salah is here still.
He didn't come with the expressed purpose of being a stand in for Mane for a season though. Mane played up front more often than not for the remainder of the season allowing Diaz to get in the team.
But he only moved to Center when Diaz came in after Afcon. I doubt he came in as permanent replacement mid season for Mane on Left or was even promised that during contract negotiations. After Diaz came, Mane still played LW in few of the games including CL QF 2nd Leg even though he was played mostly in CF after Jan.

Well, we don't know what he was promised or not... what we do know is that Diaz got significant game time at LF from the off.
Either way, surely you can agree that it makes recruitment harder.
I'm guessing our target for a wide forward/winger will be U23 or something. Bakayoko/Summerville etc.
Depends on the level and age of the RW coming in, we normally profile 20-24 players and if I saw that I maybe rotating with Salah for one season then I would be more than fine with, if he isn't then his attitude should be considered. We aren't going to sign global superstar so not sure why he would be bothered.
His hair's future was decided yesterday it seems ...
This is serious guys

He doesn't come off like that - though he's allowed what, 4 wives? Not sure why anyone would do that to themselves.
Lol, the legal way to get more punani.
Anyway, I find it strange that he posts those kinds of images, being a family man and all.

Yep no plan behind that picture at all. He's from a Muslim country after all. Men usually don't walk around half naked even at home.
