It would be more interesting if it was a swap with Mbappe.
Buying an inferior player to replace one that’s been absolutely vital during this period of the best set of results we’ve ever had seems insane.

IF we were to get Werner I'm sure it would be to rotate amongst the front three. All would be happy and we wouldn't be so terrified of suffering an injury to one of them. I read somewhere that Werner turned us down last Summer as he was worried about getting games. I'm sure Klopp could relieve him of that doubt.
We could also experiment with Bobby at the head of midfield pyramid with those three ahead of him.

Sancho - maybe, as we'd have 50-75 million to get even stronger ...
Mbappe - 100%.
Warner - I'd rather we get him so we can rotate the others in a bit more and win every cup next year.

I mean in the summer. I dunno, considering factors like Salah might be disappointed if Lovren leaves this summer. Werner is a really good young forward. Sure Salah atm is a lot better than Werner but he's also getting closer and closer to 30. From a financial perspective, it might be a good deal? I dunno.
For me yes.
Those saying no clearly don't watch much of Werner, his finishing is on another planet to Salah's...If you'd have asked 2 years ago then no but Mo isn't as
strong holding the ball up nor as quick on his feet as he was in his first season.
You don't get the opportunity to sign a player of Werner's ability for 27m and this is probably the last chance we'll have to get top dollar for Salah so financially it's a huge benefit.

Which is why in their last three seasons, Salah has scored 90 goals and Werner has 61
Salah was in his peak, Werner was 20....
He's been 20 for three years?
Depends on how much someone offers and if he wants to leave at the end of the season. £150m for 28 year old in the summer would be too good a figure to turn down. Anyways Klopp knows best
The amount of disrespect Salah has been getting on here lately is amazing. He's one of the most sensational goalscorers in our history. If he stays here for another season, he'll be in our top 10 goalscorers of all time. Just think of how staggeringly good that is.
There are only about 3-4 players on the planet who could replace Salah in our line-up.

I'd swap Salah for Sancho and Warner but no less.
He's the best goal scorer in our history so deserves massive respect, but I do feel he will go at some point so I'd rather it be on our terms when the players are there to replace his goals. This summer might be that time. Let's see.

Also, what the fuck is this about Salah getting on in age? He's 27, turning 28 this year. The likes of Messi, Suarez, Aguero have all been productive into their 30s, and Salah is pretty much in their bracket as a goalscorer. Barring serious injury, there's no reason why he doesn't have another 2-3 very good seasons still left in him.
They've been spoiled lately, that's their problem.
Every player has a price. RM sold Ronaldo for £100m and he was a cash machine for them. £150m for 28-year-old on the proviso he wants to leave, I'd wish him all the best.
Honestly, if Klopp did sell Salah tomorrow, would you have faith in his decision?
So the answer is no. Would I like someone like Werner to put pressure on our front 3 and give us an option of rotating them properly- yes! It sounds like this is exactly what Klopp wanted to do, but if Werner is lacking the confidence to challenge Salah, Mane and Bobby for the big games, then it seems to me that he isn't the right man, unfortunately. Of course, he doesn't like loud stadiums apparently, so we'd only be able to play him in home games on Saturday afternoons against the like of Brighton anyway.
Setting Werner aside, the question is really around our asset management. From a perspective of buy low, sell high, the time is approaching to sell Salah at his transfer market peak and invest in the next star.
But despite our impressive transfer successes I'm reluctant to do so because the two decades of shoddy scouting and purchases still haunts me and I'm concerned of replacing him with a dud. Plus he appears to be happy and settled and works well in the context of our team. I'd rather ride him out another 1-2 seasons at minimum and reassess from there.
Lets get another couple league titles and European trophies before we consider breaking up or remodeling the side.
It would have to be an Mbappe level player coming in to prompt me to want to make a move now

None of us wanted to sell Coutinho but the price was too good to turn down and look how that turned out for us.
No player has been irreplaceable in the past decade bar Ronaldo and Messi & even Madrid right now are doing pretty ok without him.
Sorry - but where does the 27m for Werner come from? Surely that is undervaluing the player? Personally I would not be surprised if Salah decided sometime in the next 18 months that he would like a couple of seasons in Spain - that being the case somebody like Werner would soften the loss. But moving Salah on is not something Liverpool would instigate, or something for which I would be favourable.
Widely reported he has a release clause in new contract, but it's quoted between £27M and £45M.
Yeah, but can we afford to not cash in on his 2-3 very good seasons? Salah would have been worth more last season than he is now, because people are realizing he's not the likes of Messi or a Suarez. As he loses pace, to me it's obvious that he doesn't have as much in his locker as they do.
I know fuck all about Werner, and you are right that it will be difficult to replace Salah's goals one for one, so that's not the best jumping off point for this discussion, but it's clear that if we want to be successful long term, we can't let this team overripen, especially since our style of play requires so much energy and running. But Klopp isn't an idiot. I don't think he's going to look to replace Salah, I think he's going to look to replace his threat overall with a different system. In that way, there are lots of other options we could take, and for me, he's easier to replace than Mane will be, because good luck finding anyone as good as Mane who is willing and able to do as much defensive work.
To look at it another way, we have to plan for his replacement either way. How much money do you want to have from his sale, when we do that? Because if we wait too long, it won't be near as much.
This is true, and this coming from a guy who called him the Egyptian Pennant. Whilest playing up the achivevements of Mane, some play down how impeccable Salah has been. It is not a case of either-or I'm fucking amazed that we have the two of them and Firmino.
