Wouldn’t begrudge him if he wanted to go to Real.
He’s won us everything.
He’s won us everything.
I would if he forces his way out this summer. If we had known earlier, I reckon we would have signed Werner.
Hopefully it is nothing to worry about. I think we could justifiably feel rather annoyed if he does push through a move at this point, in this summer of all summers where there will be less time and money to get a replacement in and prepare for next season.
It isn’t quite the same as some of our players who have left or wanted to leave in years gone by either. You could understand it when we had a few amazing players and they were in Liverpool teams alongside average players and that weren’t winning anything. Salah is not the stand-out superstar in the way that Suarez was, for example. He is in a team full of great players and that team is winning trophies. He’s not carrying the team and doing it single-handedly.
One could even argue that he has become a better player in his time at Liverpool, so it is a two way street. That is not to say that he is obliged to stay forever. No player is. But if he were to leave this summer it would leave a very sour taste.

It would be an odd time for him to go, given the likely strangeness of next season and the prospect of doing deals in a radically deflated market. If you were his agent you'd surely want to wait a year to assess how far things revert to 'normal'. I wouldn't mind that - if FSG aren't going to refresh the squad like most title winners do, then selling one of the front three come next year looks like the only option. Next summer they'll all be pushing 30, and we'll need to start finding similarly fast and skillful replacements. Their sell-on prices are coming up to a peak.
Doubt anyone could afford him this summer.
Would he go to PSG?
This seems very likely to be the course of action the club will take. I do wonder if the plan was to move 1 on this year and 1 next summer but the uncertainty of the market has changed those plans.
It does seem inevitable one of them will go next summer, just on the law of averages how long does any club maintain a front 3 of that quality. Next summer would be 4 years, its unrealistic to think it would continue longer than that.
Yes. I'd always favour bringing in someone else a year before selling one of the front three, just so you can ease in the newcomer and allow them to develop without the hype and the pressure of having to start as 'The Replacement'. That's why, for me, the Werner move made sense this summer. But it looks as though we'll have to sell Salah next summer and find someone else as good as him who'll hit the floor running - no easy task!
