You don't when you'll finish in the league next season so let's stick with "top 6" phrase. I also want to count Arsenal.*Top 4 mate. We are not UTD.

Morata was a bench player though. Had he started most games he numbers would've likely doubled.They scored the same number of goals last season.
Morata although playing second fiddle to Benzema most of the season played in a team which scored 170+ goals? Whereas Salah played RW and CAM. I mean those are good numbers for just about any player in the world in those positions. Mane for Comparison scored 13 goals.
Obviously this doesn't factor in intangibles such as Morata's technical quality which I think in the right system and team can elevate him to world class.
Salah will likely never be world class, but it's clear he has a lot of good qualities.
But as of now I think they are both just good players. Who on their day can be very good.
So he can't be good because Liverpool bought him for a reasonable fee? That's daft. Mane was one of the best wingers in the league at Southampton, he went to Liverpool for a similar fee and was one of the best wingers again last season. I hope Salah is a massive flop for them but looking at the deal objectively they have done very well here.In Italy. As always, it remains to be seen if we can cut it in England. He tried once - but failed. If he was as good as this thread tells us right now, bigger and better clubs would come sniffing at 35M.
It's almost like we don't have 18 months left to address that...So Liverpool will still have a huge problem when Salah and Mane vanish in tandem during AFCON.
It would have made more sense to sign a big money non AFCON winger though right?It's almost like we don't have 18 months left to address that...

Very funny from Liverpool.
Remember Liverpool didn't miss out on Champions League, the Champions League lost out on them la.Champz League royalty here to claim back their throne.
Those Bulgarian farmers from Ludovillage won't know what hit them. Famous magickh'l nights at the Kop la. Gonna be proper sweet.Remember Liverpool didn't miss out on Champions League, the Champions League lost out on them la.
Can't wait for some proper glamour to be injected into the comp again next year.

One way of solving that is just by having lots of that type of player, then you can chop and change and nobody gets tired.I like Salah. Excellent goalscorer.
Klopp is stockpiling too many similar players, in my opinion.
They will never win a title with his tactics. The pressing kills them by February. They will be good to watch, though.

Well if he has a much better attitude than Mido he might come good for Liverpool.I hope he succeeds in England but for his team to fail obviously.
At the end, seeing an Egyptian player playing regularly for a top 6 team in England has been a dream for me.
He refused to shake the hands of some Israeli opponents from Macabbi Tel Aviv, but stated afterwards that he felt pressured by extreme movements in Egypt, or something like that. I could be wrong but that's all I remember from that incident, he was still at Basel back then.This is probably not the time or the place, but didn't Mo state some rather outrageous opinions on Jews a few years ago?
It's not even a close comparison. Salah has a far, far better attitude on and off the pitch.Well if he has a much better attitude than Mido he might come good for Liverpool.
Mo Salah, mo problems.This is probably not the time or the place, but didn't Mo state some rather outrageous opinions on Jews a few years ago?
ok, if that's the case then i was clearly off the mark. cheersHe refused to shake the hands of some Israeli opponents from Macabbi Tel Aviv, but stated afterwards that he felt pressured by extreme movements in Egypt, or something like that.

Not really, they're best of friends behind the scenes.Real showdown against City if Jesus plays.
That's what happened, yes.He refused to shake the hands of some Israeli opponents from Macabbi Tel Aviv, but stated afterwards that he felt pressured by extreme movements in Egypt, or something like that. I could be wrong but that's all I remember from that incident, he was still at Basel back then.
I'm sure we've all said things as youngsters we'd rather forget. He has recently said that we should respect people of all religions and races. Can't find the quote at the moment.This is probably not the time or the place, but didn't Mo state some rather outrageous opinions on Jews a few years ago?
His accent...That's super cringeworthy. And why the feck is he saying "hannounced"?
I agree we need to sort our defence out and we will address that no doubt, as far as Salah is concerned he's a player we actually do need, besides Mane we have no other natural wingers, Coutinho can now drop back to his best position and we will have blistering pace on both sides, Coutinho as good as he is has no pace.Think he is a decent acquisition on paper. An improvement on what they have, but a part of the pitch were they have so many similar players. Questions over will he deliver week in/week out which they do struggle with. But think 40mill should have been spent on their obvious defensive issues first, then a striker. Salah is far from the player they actually needed in right now.
If you look at Mane's stats he's actually a lot better on the left, he's scored nearly twice as many goals from there, he would have played there for us last season only or the fact we had absolutely no-one else to go on the right.Seems quite ridiculous to move their best/most consistent player to a new position.
But what do I know. I said in August I'd take Miki over Mane.
He will fit in perfectly at a club who openly support racism.This is probably not the time or the place, but didn't Mo state some rather outrageous opinions on Jews a few years ago?
Really??? you still going on about that.He will fit in perfectly at a club who openly support racism.
How is Suarez doing these days anyway?
How could we ever forget it?Really??? you still going on about that.
Fair play. Only seen him play 90 maybe 5 or 6 times. Always down the right. Had no idea he'd spent time on the left. Makes Sala a very good signing if true.If you look at Mane's stats he's actually a lot better on the left, he's scored nearly twice as many goals from there, he would have played there for us last season only or the fact we had absolutely no-one else to go on the right.
Damn right. Salah was openly racist in a match against Israel. He is racist.Really??? you still going on about that.
me too.I don't rate him, but I do rate Morata, who is a top striker.
Saw quite a bit of him at Chelsea, and then for Fiorentina. Unless he's massively improved at Roma, he is the epitome of the fast winger who looks amazing on Youtube, but is immensely frustrating to watch on a weekly basis. He's the kind of athletic winger the Premier League has seen a lot of - the type who looks incredible one week and absolute shit the next. The "he has all the ingredients, but if only he could figure it out..." type. They never do.
He's not a particularly good dribbler, unless kicking the ball 10 yards past a defender and trying to recover it himself constitutes good dribbling. His technique and decision-making can fluctuate anywhere between adequate to Bramble, often in the same game. He's at his best in an open game with space to run into, something he won't see a lot of at a big club, especially not in the Premier League.
Pretty sure Rodgers - or the nefarious "transfer committee" at Liverpool - were interested in him before Chelsea came along, so he might get a chance there. I could see him being successful in Klopp's system for a couple of months, leading to lots of hot takes about Klopp vs. Mourinho, and general hysteria, before he inevitably returns to his original level and we pretend those discussions never happened.
The only other feasible "big club" option in England could be Arsenal, if Arsene decides he wants to relive the Theo Walcott Experience (™). They're already reliving every season on a loop, why not take the next step and relive the players that led to them reliving every season? Loops within loops within loops. Feels like something Arsene would be into.
Quote from Salah to LFC TV:Fair play. Only seen him play 90 maybe 5 or 6 times. Always down the right. Had no idea he'd spent time on the left. Makes Sala a very good signing if true.
