Match Thread: Liverpool v Arsenal

[LFC-DPG]

The only other way I could see dropping Mo being remotely considered is towards the end of the season if we had an agreement for a sale to Saudi or something, to accelerate our adjustment to a post-Mo Liverpool a year early. However I honestly think he sees out his contract.

Said that to a mate when he signed his 2 year deal and can see it happening.

Play another season then a transfer with a token fee to a Saudi club in the summer.

When he signed a two year deal I thought he’d probably end up going to Saudi after a year for around £100m.

Plenty to bring in a potential replacement

It'll be fascinating to see who the right-winger or right-sided forward is that comes in to take his place.

As to "replacing" him as we fans tend to think of it, I don't think anyone who comes will be his, so-to-speak. Players like him cutting in from the right side and contributing so many goals/assists are absolute Unicorns.

Under FSG we have "replaced" players ahead of time, though not always effectively. Ox and Keita came to replace midfielders before they departed (which didn't work) and Núñez came in ahead of Firmino's exit.

With that in mind, I think Isak is the "replacement", essentially. We aren't replacing like-for-like (different positions) but we are getting an elite goalscorer in, prior to the departure of an elite goalscorer. Which makes a lot of sense.

So excited about our future. It's been an excellent bit of future-proofing this Summer with Leoni, Wirtz, Ekitike, Isak, Mamardashvili, Kerkez, Frimpong.....the average age of the squad and starting XI has dropped considerably. A shame about Guehi but brilliant work overall, just brilliant.

We’ll never have a RWF who will get anywhere near Mo’s numbers but we will bring in a very good RWF and spread the goals around more. Three games in and we’ve already had 7 different scorers this season

Yeah that aspect of our play is so, so exciting. As much as I loved the 08/09 side it feels very nice to have a multitude of attacking options, rather than feeling we were a bit snookered if Torres missed games.

I don't think even the Saudi clubs would be dropping £100m on a 34 year old. I think that boat has well and truely sailed.

Yeah but it's nothing to them, loose change.

Mo is one of those rare footballers who has huge commercial appeal.
He'd be worth £100 million to them next summer, or the one after.
