I don't think that was necessarily the point at all, no.Originally posted by pob View PostPerfect timing 😂. He's leaving for fuck all. Wasn't the whole point of giving him a 2 year deal last year would be that we'd get a decent fee for him this summer when everyone knew he was going to leave?
Both he and Van Dijk got two more seasons. I think there was every intention that they would get the last drops of football they had out of them whilst retaining the "leadership group" with a view to being able to challenge for (and ideally win) one or both of the Premier League and Champion's League during their remaining time with us, whilst ushering in the rebuilding of the squad - by the end of their time with us we would be in a position where they were no longer "needed" as the core/leadership players - same for Ali and Robbo - I think preserving his value for a potential transfer fee with one year to go was just a secondary thing and not the main goal.Your hobbies are rollerblading and you're also a bit of a rat-hound?

This is a genuine surprise.Originally posted by Insidious View PostThere won't be one -

'Tis indeed the end of an era.
With the departure of Klopp a couple of years ago, and then a large segment of the squade he built as part of his LFC 2.0 rebuild also leaving(/sadly passing), and now one of the last pillars of his original squad foundation's also gone.
(only Virg and Allisson remain from that original Klopp 1.0 team)
And now, missing out on Semenyo to City in the January window (if we were even in for him to begin with) looks an even bigger loss than it seemed at the time.
Possibly even bigger than missing out on Guehi.'I got told there's an English phrase, 'You don't win trophies with kids'. I didn't know that' ... - Jurgen Klopp

Its a touch unusualOriginally posted by jozza800 View PostThis is a genuine surprise.
.
Could be a totally amicable parting, or a relatively amicable parting
The type of deal cause he just wants to go, or the type of deal as he just has to go.
A fee of £50 mill minimum from Saudi wouldn't have been unexpected, maybe he ends up elsewhere.
In terms of service, a free departure cant be whinged at. That includes his various strops.
He's a total legend for Goals & Assists, some spectacular goals & celebrations
Best RWF option in the PL era.
Best RWF at LFC.

Suspicions/speculation time.Originally posted by miller0863 View PostGotta admit the free is a genuine surprise wtf is going on there??
Presumably getting him off the books is seen as a higher priority than risking not getting a fee for him. Perhaps the aesthetic of it also suits both parties, though I don't buy into the need for it. We all assume that a Saudi club slaps a generous transfer offer down in the Summer but they'd only need to wait another year so I'm not sure it's that, plus Mo - a man who is no stranger to self-belief - may feel he still has more to give before going to the "retirement village" of Saudi - whether that's to another Premier League side or perhaps a return to Serie A.
We're paying him almost £21m a year. That's a big chunk of change - it's a decent percentage of what we get for getting Champion's League football. Hard to justify that on anyone really - and on that I've been a little surprised/frustrated that the precedent set by giving Virg and Mo such big wages means we look like we will be exceeding the £200k-per-week wage threshold more often, as it will mean we sometimes give our bigger wages to lads than what their performances merit. Everyone will come asking for more.
Unfortunately, performance-wise, in the indifferent World of stats, analysis and data, Salah is not "worth" what we currently pay him this season. Bound to be a factor in moving him along.
From his side, he probably despises playing under Slot and there's probably no guarantee for Mo that Arne isn't our Manager next season - I can't see him being up for another season of that.
Foresee this period making for an interesting chapter in a book in a few years.
I should think some of the number-cruncher types (Edwards etc) are perhaps doing some planning in case we aren't in the Champion's League next season (having at least £100m less come in, nearly £21m removed makes a dent) as well.
Lastly, the insane regularity of Mo's presence in the side has always pointed to him having something in his contract about playing a certain amount of times per season - the club (or more specifically Arne) may very well wish to simply be rid of this proverbial headache at a time when Mo can't be relied on to finish chances. Whilst some of it may be coaching (he is wider than normal and getting less opportunities to be in the penalty area than last season) we have all seen just how many times he has skied it over the course of the season, or hit it tamely. He's "off it" in more than just the pace department.
It's a shame that so many things are coming to a head and that we look like we're going to go through a spell of upheaval for a bit. However, we have been through similar before - several times - and the trickier spells just make us appreciate the good times all the more. We'll be fine - as will Mo - and we will all have some wonderful memories.Your hobbies are rollerblading and you're also a bit of a rat-hound? Steel Wool
