Real's allegedly mooted valuation of 90m EUR is a bit of a laugh. Specially since Perez told us Asensio was 700m EUR and no less when we enquired a few months ago. Oh dear Perez. I wonder how the bargaining will go when Salah eventually says I'm ready to leave now.

Never heard of the African dream for Spanish giants.....
Keeping DDG had a lot of luck involved.
United managed to keep hold of DDG because of luck and almost unrivalled financial power.
It depends also on whereabouts in Africa we're talking as well. The Arabs of the Maghreb and North Africa generally is geared more towards the likes of La Liga and Serie A while in much of Sub Saharan Africa and West Africa, it's the Premier League. You can see a lot of the influence in the styles of play in a lot of the countries.
At the moment the whole of Egypt is awash with Salah flags and posters in the red of Liverpool. Literally, roads and buildings are awash.
Absolutely, 500mil at the very least.
For one incredible season? I wouldn't be surprised, depends how itchy his potential suitors are!
Rejecting Madrid - I'd stick that on my CV if I was a player.
How can you compare Coutinho's numbers to Salah when they are different types of players? Coutinho had been playing at a high level for atleast a couple of seasons now, which gave him that price tag (along with the fact that Barca had a lot of money in the bag and were desperate to sign him).
How many players score 40 goals in one season, then all of a sudden fall off a cliff? He's going to easily smash the PL goal record. It's not a fluke season.
I think the set up at Liverpool and your style of suits him perfectly and allows him pretty much free reign. I watched him a lot in Italy and there was no way you could of predicted he was going to be this good.
Kevin Phillps scored 30 league goals in the 99-00 season, for Sunderland.
They have as much a chance as United.
It may be, it may not, he may get injured, he may fall out with his manager, he may decide he hates football, they may find another worldy for a fraction of the price. My point is on a risk reward basis the smart decision is sell.
Aren't most teams set up to get the most from their attacking/best players?
No one will fork out that a record sum based on one season worth of performances
Not even Salah could have envisaged having the season he's just had. Odd thing to criticise the club for.
He always had the right skills to do well in the EPL and his record with Roma was astounding.
Hindsight is always 20/20 and you're wrong about his time at Roma. He's already scored more for Pool this season than he did during his entire Roma career and has clocked half the assist already as well. That should tell you how outstanding he was there.
Salah has been improving on a constant base from one season to another. You can see the improvement in his numbers from each club he played followed by the next, except Chelsea when he wasn't playing.
Salah would probably have about 6 goals for us and be in and out of the starting 11. He's far too attackingly talented for our Jose.
The debate isn't about whether he's been improving season on season. It's about whether anyone could have foreseen what he's done this season.
That I agree on. I predicted him to succeed easily here but he exceeded the expectations that's for sure. Klopp system suited him like bread and butter and he made him the main target going for the goal rather than an assisting winger who helps in the attack and score some times. This suited Salah better.
Mate I don't know how young you are or if you know how market forces work. But we put the price on and you pay it. Keep that mantra.
The italian league is quite narrow and anti wingers yet salah was able to score a looping 15 goals in 31 serie a matches. The writing was on the wall
I am pretty old, turned 30 this year, and I completely agree with your point. For Liverpool, Salah should be valued at 200 mil because that is his worth in their system. My other point is that I don't think another club would be willing to go to that amount because 1) This is his first high goalscoring season and 2) There are still doubts as to whether he will be able to recreate these performances for another tactical system.
