    I'd certainly second Sucky's assertion that the entry level for Salah outside of our transfer window is now £250m.

    Yeah, even though he's not as good as he was pre the last ACON, he's still our most prolific player. Can't just let him go without replacing, and can't replace him without cash. I do think we need to sell him before he hits the cliff and loses all his value (so we CAN replace him)... I also think wherever he goes, he'll still be good, but won't be as good, his abilities just seem tailor made to Klopp's style of football and he won't necessarily fit as well anywhere else.

    No. I think he's a lot better.

    I'm surprised that any Liverpool fan would use that turn of phrase when comparing the two :bandit:

    True.

    Although I wasn't bothered about Naby or Oxlade-Chamberlain going. <whistle>

    Our business model relies heavily on player sales. Sad to say, it's hard for any club let alone ours to turn down this offer.

    I just hope we can come to agreement where we keep Mo until January, which buys us time to find replacements.

    Salah can help restore my faith in humanity by turning down the move permanently. Come on Mo, you know you want to.

    Fair enough. Kane was head and shoulders above Salah last season though. Think it went under the radar how good Kane was last year in a very **** spurs because Haaland stole the headline. 30 league goals last year.

    People have their preference but I think Kane is probably the best number 9 in world football

    He either leaves this season for huge money. Next summer for big money. Or he leaves on a free end of next season. Not a single chance we offer and he signs a new contract at lfc.

    We have to brace ourselves that this is Mo's last season with us. What a player ..

    I just hope we get our new structure in place asap so that we don't waste the money ... by the sounds of it, wheels are in motion ...

    He's shown his loyalty to Liverpool and nobody would deny him a move, in fact most expected it to have already happened. He's stayed committed even if that was helped along by a wage increase.

    Yes, Saudi is closer to his home, his culture and religion but a move there would most definitely be about money and not about fitting in more with the surroundings. I want to think that he has more footballing ambition. He is loved in that part of the world regardless of whether he chooses to play there.

    Obviously, the money would be a big factor in him moving but I'm trying to see it from his perspective.

    He's playing for a top European club with a outside chance of winning worthwhile silverware but we are also in transition and out of the CL, maybe he recognises time isn't on his side and he won't be here two or three more years to see the project through?

    I don't think he or the club owe the other anything. If he wants to go, we let him. If he wants to stay great. I don't think we'll force him to go and I don't think he'll force a move. It'll be what's best all round.

    I actually think we could be a better 'team' without him, just hard to see how we replace the goals and assists.

    It’s also his last chance at a massive life changing amount of money. Yes he gets paid incredibly well but the money being spoken about is 5 times his current wage, plus tax free.

    Whats the other options he leaves us for free in 2 years and goes to play somewhere in Europe for 50% of the fee he’s on?

    if/when you come up to retirement would you leave your current job to take a job on 1/2 pay 2 years before you retire or would you go to a new company paying you 5 times your current wage? No brainer.

    22/23 all competitions
    Salah 30 goals 16 assists
    Kane 32 goals 5 assists

    You think Kane is better than Haaland, Benzema and Lewandowski?

    Stop with the "life changing amount of money", it simply isn't. If he never earned another penny he's set up for life already, as are his children and grandchildren. His life will not change one iota no matter how much more money he has. I hate this argument.

    Ood say very different to Haaland. Haaland has 7 touches a game and scores with 3 of them. Kane is much better link up as well as playmaker who still scores goals. And yes I’d say Kane is a better player than benzema and lewandowski are right now.
