I think for £200m if we go and buy 2 top centre backs and a right back then we could be winning some more titles pretty soon. Our defence has injuries, mistakes, age and lack of confidence all in an abundance. Konate is good but he gets injured far too often.

Strangely enough I kind of like Matip, but he makes mistakes. Gomez, he’s a disaster and I’d be happy for him to move on. Trent was excellent today, but I still don’t trust him at right back. £200m would rebuild the defence, but I’d ask them for £300m just for a laugh.

Gomez gets far too much stick. Lad has always been a good player for us, is home grown and has never complained about lack of game time, can play anywhere across the back line if needed. Would rather keep him and move matip on without a doubt.

I agree monty, that money plus what revenue the club would have available to spend on top of it, could be used to rebuild the defence and buy a replacement winger, could get us in a realy good position squad wise.

Mo is still too good to sell now, even for 200m

Certain Teams have proven that spending money isn't the answer.

We need to keep Mo.

You don't win things by selling your best player.

He has to stay till January, then when we have time to find a replace him we can decide then.

Completely agree JLC, how do you replace his goals and assists? Mbappe? Not going to happen.
The club went through a lot last year to keep Salah, as long as he is still making a contribution to the team, keep him.

JLC certain teams have proven that spending poorly/ recklessly isn't the answer.
If we spend that money smartly, it's going give us a hell of a strong squad.
We won the prem and champions league and a big part of that was getting van dyke and Allison.
Funded by selling coutinho who one of our best players at the time.
We have to reinvest we don't have big oil owners.

Keep Mo unless he wants to go. If he wants to go, then get the most money you can for him.

While the money is insane, Mo values his brand as much and he might think that his brand needs another year or two with us while the Saudi League establishes it's platform/ coverage.

However, with us not being at the top table in the Champions League this year, he may have doubts. Who knows. Only Mo.

I’m old enough to have been on these boards when the hungry racist was leaving,
We’ve been here before chaps, £200 million up front one payment and we get to January with Jota, Gapko, Diaz and Nunez ( 2 of whom who January signings themselves)
Don’t panic. Stand firm.

Gomez a lot better player than what people give him credit for.

We could always sign Lord Bowen. I have a hunch that Mbeumo might be in the offing as well.

To all those who say we must keep Salah, and there are many of you, I have only one question - if not now, when?

In your reply please indicate whether you have ever run a business.

That’s why most of us recognise the dilemma - Ity a business decision versus a football decision!

When are we going to sign two centre backs and a right back? January? Next summer?
Why not do it when we sell Salah rather than sell him and then have to wait?

Jackmytton, when? When he ceases to be Liverpools most productive player, a player who is pretty much always fit. His lifestyle indicates to me that his form will continue for a couple years at least. that's my opinion.
If the club are thinking it too good to resist for too long then at least sell him at the start of summer so as to leave enough time to spend any fee accordingly, not after the window has shut.
Have I run a business? No, have you ever managed a competitive sports team?
I don't see what my running a business has to do with anything. You’re on a thread discussing the pros and cons of selling a truly world class footballer who has no equal in terms if his position and the numbers he produces in the world.
Let me ask you a question, who do liverpool sign to replace him? In january? Great time that that is for signing teams best players.
Liverpool sell Salah then for me, the impact is beyond his goals and assists, it makes this season a write off.

Semi, we bought Suarez, Coutinho, Gapko and Diaz in January so that may not be the point you think you’re making.

If the Saudi’s had offered £200m on July 1st would people have taken the money?

{Ed025's Note - rule 1 of wanting to win things....you dont sell your best players..

Great discussion this one
It’s hard not to think of the money being talked about and what we could use it for but for me Mo brings too much value as a person and a player to sell this year.
If I am lacing my boots up and look up to see Mo putting the shirt on I know it lifts me as a player
Another 25+goals please Mo and I’ll sort you a share in my Sunday market store profit…$$ if you do read these pages the thing is I don’t make a lot of profit sorry
Cheers.

Spot on there, Ed25. You cannot with one side of your mouth, demand that the team compete and to some win things while with the other side of your mouth, be fine with selling your best player, the one who should be spearheading the trophy charge cos you’re salivating at how much you will get for him. That logic makes no sense to me.

Easypeasy, that is true. However the club bought those players in a completely different context, the club wasnt in as string a position as now when Suarez and Coutinho came in, and Gakpo and Diaz were players that came in to be integrated into the squad (I know Diaz in particular hit the ground running but that was a bonus) . At this current time, the only player who adequately replaces Salah is going to have to be one of the best players in the world, Mbappe is the only player I can think of that would be a direct replacement, and I doubt he will be wearing red anytime soon.
If the club sell Salah this season I can inly see it having a terrible impact on the rest of the season.
