Mo Salah

Putting up rediculous numbers , must be close to Suarez's season.

This. It's irrelevant whether we should've bought him or not. Under Jose Mourinho attacking players are stifled. Mkhi was poor at United but it's not a coincidence that all players with a bit flair have regressed under the management of Mourinho. Salah would've started on fire too before getting worse slowly. Liverpool are a better fit for him unfortunately.
 
His goals are spread out too. Unlike Messi and Ronaldo who might score a hattrick or brace often.

Since October there's only 5 games he hasn't scored in. That's 25 games.

Let's not get over excited, he is a very good player but world class..Not yet...Let him show the same class for next couple of seasons and then only we'll know

Good point>

Kane scored 10 hatricks in 2017, thats 30 goals in 10 games, the remaining 24 goals distributed across the rest of the games.
 
Top top player, if he finishes the season strong and has a decent World Cup Madrid will go in for him very strongly.
 
What scares me about Salah is the fact he misses a shed load of chances as well!!!

Liverpool really did buy a gem in this lad.

You have to strike lucky and we definitely have with him. Not sure we can afford to keep striking lucky so must try to keep him.

But Salah, his family and the whole of Egypt will want to see him in the whites of Madrid sooner rather than later. I just hope the Spanish government just doesn't have enough money to buy him, Hazard, a couple of defenders and maybe a goalie.
 
After the session Madrid are having, expect big transfers going in for them this summer. Reckon they'll go for Salah, Hazard, Kane and a bunch of other players... See what sticks. Football Manager style.
 
He's been brilliant for that lot. If we had signed him he would have spent more time defending than attacking

Thats my fear too, although its probably more of a wish for you. We cant afford to let him go this summer and moreso, Klopp finally needs to complete the jigsaw and get players to have a proper team that can compete in the League and in Europe. He still may well go to Madrid the following summer but he’s not going to waste his career in an ongoing renovation project that should be completed this summer.
To that end, a top 4 finish is absolutely vital for us this year, probably Spurs too, whilst United and Chelsea can absorb its omission.
 
Madrid got lucky with transfers and fees (apart from Ronaldo and Bale) when assembling their 3x CL winning squad. They're going to have to spend 300m to get in the players they want, maybe even more.

Every world class player has a minimum value of £100m now. PL also don't have to sell.

Pogba, Salah, Hazard, Courtois, Kane - Neither of their clubs need to sell them. Gonna be an interesting summer to say the least.

Yeah it’s crazy, I’m pretty sure he’s like tied with Benteke for most big chances missed or might even be 1 ahead now after yesterday. Last time I checked it was 18 big chances missed, 19 after yesterday probably. Could be on 30+ goals already if he’d put half those away which is astounding. He’s been unbelievable for us, absolute bargain at £36m.

I honestly disagree about Salah wanting to go sooner rather than later. Salah was a childhood Liverpool fan and quite recently he said it’s his dream to win the Premier League with Liverpool so I think his mind is very much here at the moment and for the near future. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’ll go to Madrid eventually but I don’t see him going there this summer. There would be uproar at FSG as well if we sold him so soon after Coutinho, regardless of price. I think 2019 or 2020 are a lot more likely, especially if we don’t win anything over the next couple of years.

Nobody turns down Barca or Madrid. Nobody. If he breaks Ronaldo's 42 goals record the whole world and their sponsors will be watching the next steps.

FSG can't turn down offers of £220m+. Even this summer. Salah can't turn down Madrid regardless of his fan hood.

First of all I could name you plenty of players that have: Keane, Viera, Gerrard, Linekar, Buffon just off the top of my head so that debunks the "Nobody".

I respect your opinion of course, but I disagree. I think if the guy's dream is to win the league with us then it's a valid reason to stay here for another season or two as Madrid aren't going to go anywhere if he keeps performing as he is. Doubt Madrid would take the risk this summer anyway as he could be a one season wonder, he's always played at a good level but not a Madrid level until this season and it may be a fluke. I agree FSG can't turn £220m down but Madrid would never bid that. Plus they want a new LW and GK as well as RW so don't see how they're going to be able to afford all three if they're going for players like De Gea, Salah and Hazard.
 
Great player and another world class player that plays at Anfield.

Say what you like about our scouting, I don't remember the last time that we didn't have a genuine world class player in our ranks. Just when it looks like we've lost a bit of magic, we've got someone else that's able to step up and blossom.
Since Fowler, we've had Owen (who was brillant for us), Gerrard in his peak years and a player that most pros would have in their team, Torres, Suarez, Coutinho, Salah.

It finally looks like we're getting a decent team together as well to complement the great players that we have. Our biggest problem with most of the aforementioned players is that they carried us and we didn't have other great players alongside them. It looks like those days are over and as of next season we'll have Salah, Firmino, Mane, Keita and VVD as our spine/attackers. Another CB and a decent GK could have us fighting at the top
 
I give Salah another season at Liverpool and then he'll be off to either Barca or Real Madrid. Too good for Liverpool.

The focus you guys have on your stars is one of the downfalls of your club. Way too much focus is placed on the world class player you have, sometimes even two. To be really successful especially nowadays in an era of non existent quotas and financial doping is to build a whole team of stars. Whether you do it buying buying and developing, buying unseen talents, buying stars or even producing from the academy, that's what you have to do. Look at the caliber of players playing in your midfield. Do they honestly deserve to be playing with a player this good? When we had Ronnie we had Rooney, Tevez, Scholes, Carrick, Rio, Vida, Evra running around with him in the same team, you couldn't in a million years do that with the same teams some of your stars played in.

That's pretty much exactly what I just said. We're finally getting a team of top quality players together rather than just relying on one or two to drag us through
 
I’d never want a manager who’d referred to people as ‘faggots’ without apologising.

I never got the impression Coutinho is world class. He is a great player but I think to enter the world class category, like where we see De Bruyne and Silva (I'm also going to say Ozil, though I know many don't agree), he needs more consistency in his play. His passes always seem on and off and in the end I think his ability is amplified in the public by his ability to score outstanding goals, but as a playmaker I always had doubts as to whether he was good enough. Even now Pool don't have a proper playmaker as the role is shared amongst many players, and I think it's benefiting them.

With regards to the keeping situation, do you think Karius has improved lately? Would you want to persist with him next season if he continues his current form to the end of the season?
