The difference is Virgil read the union handbook - only go on strike for something which, if gained, improves your situation.
Yes. He's at his peek value (at least £160m) and almost 28. Sancho (£110m) could be here for ten years
Just wondered. A lot of us agree Mane is the better player of the two, Salah will be going to the world cup and the AFCON this season, turns 28 this year. Whereas Sancho and Werner are 20 and 24 (in March) respectively, both flexible in position they play and essentially for free or money to spare if Salah was sold. I would rather have all of them, but thats not happening.
There's nothing to say Salah couldn't stay with us for the next 5 years performing at the same level. Sancho and Werner would have been, played well, won a few things and moved on in that time.
Interesting debate; however I agree with what Niel Atkins says from the anfield wrap. Salah occupies so many players and so dangerous that when he isn't scoring he is so important to the team.
Its integrating them into our system. I'm sure we have looked very closely at both and considered pros and cons. I think Werner is the one to get.
