Cicero 5,267 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Unlike KDB, he didn't really show any stand out potential during his time with us. Even at Roma, albeit a good player during his stint, there was always the Serie A tax to consider. You have to credit his massive growth to elite levels to Klopp really.

That list is missing Gordon Hodgson and Billy Liddell and some of the totals are wrong: https://www.lfchistory.net/Stats/PlayerGoalscorers Anyway, Salah will almost certainly have over taken Owen by the end of the season and if he's here next season he's probably into fifth ahead of Gerrard.

Maybe he's a bit of a luxury type of player. He's so good though that you keep him around for the 30ish games he'll be available for. Don't disagree that we could do with signing another who might be more reliable fitness wise. You'd need to move Keita and/or Chamberlain on first though.

Would blow most of our summer budget, unless we convince them to take Keita as part of the deal. @LFCMike I didn’t necessarily mean boot him out the club, but we are going to need somebody more reliable as a mainstay to the midfield. I just don’t trust Chamberlain at all, Jones still has a lot to prove, Keita blows hot and cold and Milner is at the end.

LFCMike 3,012 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Let's see what happens come the summer. Not really arsed about transfers at the moment given that it's now March and Liverpool are still in three competitions having already won one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think chances are Milner will extend for another season (unless Leeds come calling perhaps), Keita or Oxlade-Chamberlain I think might be moved on so I think it's possible we replace them. But like @LFCMikesays, it's only just turned March and we're still in 3 competitions having just won one of the ones we were competing for. We're having a good season with the current squad and if everyone stays healthy this could be a very nice season for us if we get the right amount of luck.

West Ham are a trickier opponent, but I have confidence in Keita/Elliott/Milner filling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except, he's 30 year old and a 5 year contract on £400k a week is excessive to say the least. I'm sure we will be fine if a replacement is needed.

Rick 2,276 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 The problem I have with these “he’s 30” shouts is that we only have to look at somebody like Ronaldo, who is 37 but is fitter than the majority of professionals in the game. Salah takes excellent care of his body, and has remained pretty much injury free through his time with us. I think a 4 year deal with large wages is more than acceptable for the club to go with. His output hasn’t slowed down at all, and I don’t think it will in the coming years. If we lose him on a free, that will be horrible business by the club. Hopefully we can find an agreement before the start of next season so we can avoid the bullshit rumours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted March 11, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted March 11, 2022 Arguably the best player in the world at the moment. Age shouldn't really be that much of a factor.

He hardly looks like his body's about to fall off a cliff either. Of course age is a factor. He's wanting to earn double what VVD gets paid until he's almost 36. He won't accept a shorter contract and he won't accept a lower wage. Messi and Ronaldo are great examples of players that are simply not worth the money they are paid in their mid thirties. I'll be happy if a new contract is sorted with Salah but I can understand the club not wanting to shatter its wage structure for a player who will probably only decline within the next few years.
