I am one of those entitled yuppies that have trouble lauding individuals who have played for Liverpool but didn't manage to win anything. Basically, I have no time for good players that quit this club without winning a medal of note (Suarez, Coutinho, Mascherano, Torres). It's a grim way of viewing life, I guess.

I am just utterly delighted and relieved that Salah will now always be remembered on a completely different level to any of the aforementioned. After last year's heartbreak in Kiev, Salah lifting the European Cup in Madrid was just indelibly heartwarming. The most fascinating part about sport has always been vicariously taking pleasure from seeing athletes that triumph after adversity. It's human nature to be attracted to that hopeful narrative.

[No666]

I entirely agree, just as the satisfactory narrative is Coutinho failing to profit from his cowardly and disloyal behaviour.

[Risto]

Salah has just been named in joint 98th place on Forbes top 100 list for biggest earners in sport for 2018-19.

This includes endorsements as well as wages, but still confirms that Salah is amongst the top earners in football, albeit there are plenty with higher wages ahead of him, including the top 3 who are all footballers.

He will probably aim for golden boot third time in a row I guess.

Nah I reckon he's planning on having a chill out season and let someone else have it for a change

[ThePoolMan]

I ask this question too, especially now that we are arguably a bigger club (and attraction) to serious footballers than Real and Barca.
At the very least we are 'equal' to them in terms of status and attraction at this present moment in time imo.

Granted, I can understand why South American players may pine for Spain............but everyone else?

Call me a hypocrite but I wouldn't mind playing in sunny Spain for lots of dough 
But I'm not a pro footballer.

I think choosing a team like ours or a team like Real or worse, PSG is a true test of what are a young footballer's priorities. If he really wants to be the very best he can be, the choice for liverpool is obvious. But if he wants to earn as much money as he can get, have a celebrity lifestyle, enjoy life now while earning glory for the least amount of hard work and struggle because he would be playing for a team that has so many stars that winning domestic honours is a cinch, then by all means go to a so-called "super" club - you are not the kind of player we want anyway.

If he carries on this trajectory, he'll only score 11 or 12 goals next season

Get rid.

Much bigger systemic and random factors beyond the control of an individual are in play when it comes to winning trophies.

Alonso went to Real and his type is exactly what I would want. People, shock-horror, come from different places!

Of course, and I made it clear that I view that attitude as being entitled as fuck. But I am afraid I can't help it, most of my good memories related to football are about Liverpool winning trophies. Those players walked out on Liverpool without being determined to prove themselves. Yes, they owe us nothing, but neither should they expect to be lauded in return. It's pure luck, I know, but the difference is that I remember someone like Smicer or Hamann with more fondness than folks like Suarez or Coutinho.

[him_15]

I don't see any chance he is leaving any time soon. He is happy and loved by our fan here, the squad has great potential to win thing for the next couple of season, why move?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I don't see any chance he is leaving any time soon. He is happy and loved by our fan here, the squad has great potential to win thing for the next couple of season, why move?

Why is this even being discussed?

I am exactly the same as you. It's not being entitled. Those who gave me my greatest nights as a Liverpool fan will always be bigger legends to me.

Just ignore any bullshit the media says, he's not going anywhere.

I assume Lovren asked the fish to take the pic of him next to Mo...

Mo: Dejan, the fish is dead, it can't take the photo. Either you take the pic without being on it or no pic a all...
Lovren: Alright then...

Not a mission...2 season wonder...get shot ASAP

[Ocean Red]

More crap from the mirror today about Mo revaluating his situation next summer By John Richardson. Wasn't it reported last year that he would not leave to go to Madrid etc. Because he is happy here and is still a bit scarred by what happened at Chelsea? I read something along those lines last year.

Haha. Why the fuck would Mo tell John Richardson that... like he’s got some inside line to Mo.

Just ignore it, no need to even post about it - it’s just lazy tabloid “journalism”.

[Sinyoro]

The fact that the club and the Salah camp have chosen to ignore these agenda-driven rumours is probably winding up some journalists. They will continue to publish these outrageous stories till they get some sort of response. Fans should also learn not to bite.
Treat these rumours with the contempt that they deserve.

That Guinea defence and GK especially is terrible!

But Mo still shines

Was a little sad to see him in a kit that reminded me of the Red Devils though

Salah destroyed Guinea's goalkeeper to set up goal during Egypt's win.
