Liverpool FC Forum / Re: Mohamed Salah - Best in the World *
« Last post by glewis93 on Today at 10:53:23 pm »Easier to replace a defender than someone who brings goals and assists.
I'll sell Trent or Virgil before. Also the Saudis aren't going to spend like crazy this time
You'd sell our captain and vice-captain before Salah?
I'm not on the "sell Salah" train just yet but that's absolutely crazy to me. Trent is world-class and still only 25, Van Dijk has been a leader and a rock for years and in a position where physical decline isn't so impactful. If it's a choice between selling Salah or either of those two for big money, it's a no-brainer for me, Salah is gone.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The Title Race 2023/24- Jurgen's Last Dance
« Last post by slaphead on Today at 10:52:24 pm »10 points dropped in the last 5 league games. Our season died at that Fa Cup game at Old Trafford. Since then the belief to hold on to a lead and control games is gone. At thia point heads have gone both from Klopp and the lads. This is a bottle job. In the last 10 games, we have gone from chasing a quadruple to season being over already with just the league cup. Jurgen deserved more, much much more. The club raising the prices in the run in didnt help either. We were a club with everyone pulling in the same direction. Over the last 5 weeks, it seems like internally they have already moved on.
That's the bigger problem, we never seem to be able to take the lead never mind hold on to it. Did they say 24 times in 55 games we've went behind now ? That's bonkers

« Last post by John C on Today at 10:52:09 pm »There is a monumental difference though between working under a Sporting Director and alongside one. I would say Guardiola, Arteta, Klopp, Emery, Ange, Ten Hag, Howe etc work alongside DoF their DoF's.Listen to the Anfield Index podcast about this subject. It covers it well.
For me that is changing with Slot. Rodgers and Klopp had the final say on transfers. The new structure changes that for me. That is the massive difference.
In this respect I actually agree with you about how managers should chose the players. But perhaps I'm and particularly you are dinosaurs.

« Last post by jepovic on Today at 10:51:58 pm »I can understand that a player needs replacing and sometimes that player can still have a good season before the legs fall off. Mane and Firmino both had good seasons for us before they left and then they fell off a cliff. It could be the same for Salah as well if we sold him.But we have to replace peak Salah anyway, because he doesnt exist anymore. Its not easy, but that's life.
My issue is the replacement. We have a good collection of forwards outside Salah but no outstanding ones bar a injured Jota. If you are telling me we are replacing Salah with a top quality attacker ready to start for us the fine, but I am not in for the idea of getting some young player who one day develops into something good.
We have never had a situation under Klopp where we have sold our best player, there has always been another at the club who already took up the mantle or was there ready to. This will be different, there will not be a single attacker at the club as good as Salah when he leaves.
We can either choose to keep the current Salah, or to sell him, but we cant turn back time.
The current Salah is on 13(?) non-penalty PL goals + 9 assists. That's still good numbers, but hardly irreplacable.
I used to be in the camp of trying to keep him and try to use him differently. But now I dont believe he could cope mentally with that
