There is NO WAY a club can sell a world class striker and get another one in with financial effectiveness (on the cheap)
A world class striker will demand signing on fees and high wages too on top of the high agent's fees.

The only way i see the club heading if they do consider the financial implications of keeping Mo is to sell and buy  a young rated striker and hope he becomes another Mo under Klopp with his remaining time here.
Here is to HOPE.

We must be trying to sort out Origi’s contract before moving on to the less important ones like Salah’s.
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!

Normally a player can look great on tubes, but one of the things that's encouraging for me is just the amount of youtube videos on him

We sold Torres for £50m and used less than half of that money to bring in Suarez on lower wages.

What are you all bickering about? all players have a finite time with our wonderful club - it's a reality, so deal with it.

Just enjoy the moments he brings to us and embrace the moment, stop thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow will come quicker than you think, as it did with Kenny, as it did with Stevie as it will with Mo....just enjoy today for what it is. Everything comes to an end eventually.

So you confirmed my 2nd part. Suarez was not a world class striker then.

Yeah Suarez was signed with the intent of playing alongside Torres, who abruptly effed off so we panicked and bought Carroll.

He can't be replaced either so surely we're factoring this into his wage demands.

We might be able to get someone else in on £200k a week less, but we will probably lose the equivalent of £200k+ a week in lost value because we won't be the same side as we are now without the best player in the world.

We have to keep him, it'll be too demoralising to allow him to leave and I could see a hangover from the players as a result.

You used to hear it from Gerrard when he spoke about the likes of Alonso, Torres leaving just when we were building something special.

We're at the top now, and we have to stay there, especially whilst Klopp is here.

Remember a time when a player scored 20 goals in a season was seen as amazing for the league and was a bar for a world class player?

It's December and Salah has reached that bar!

His goal last night was equally as incredible as some of his famous dribbles and goals. The technical ability to make that look like a simple tap in was unreal. Honestly if he stays fit and healthy he can fire us to a league and champions league double this season.

Torres was well on the decline due to injuries.  Nowhere near the level of Salah.

Yep it's a horrific team but it was pretty much a second string 11. The likes of Gerrard, Torres, Lucas, Maxi, Kuyt, Mereiles had all been rested.

Last nights was pretty much a second string, 8 changes from the Derby, shows how great our strength in depth is, especially compared to then.

Well yes I know, the transformation in squad quality since the Rafa/Hodgson days is amazing and it's interesting to compare. It might have made more sense if the poster had compared the 2nd string from 2010 with last night's 2nd string though, rather than next to the 1st choice team from 3 seasons ago, I don't know what point he was trying to make. Even more confusing is why it's in the Salah thread.  ???  ;D

Summariser on R5L was saying after the game how most players blaze that tap-in over the bar. He said it a few times, then on reflection he says most players try to control it , and by then it's too late. He then goes on to point out Salah has a really unusual technique for striking the ball , I think he said he'd being doing some analysis and he doesn't do it 'correctly'.  Maybe it's a bit like a south-paw thing, keepers and defender set themselves for the textbook shot and Salah takes them completely by surprise.
It's amazing how after almost every game you see at least one move by Salah that would grace any players' highlight reels.  Even more amazing is that he plays unselfishlessly too (sometimes he's selfish , but no more so than you'd expect a striker with abilities to be.  It's not often he clearly makes the wrong decision)


--Edit, I think he meant 'conventionally' rather than correctly --
"All the lads have been talking about is walking out in front of the Kop, with 40,000 singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone'," Collins told BBC Radio Solent. "All the money in the world couldn't buy that feeling," he added.
