There's a hint of Man United with Ste's arguments there. Just offering the flavour of the month as options. Watkins turns 29 in December and his goals scored in the last 4 seasons are 14, 11, 15, 19. Is that really an upgrade worth spending £100m for? Now Isak is the interesting one. I think he definitely is an option. But no way Newcastle after signing him for £65m, sell him for £80m. Plus his injury record is a slight concern. He has missed about 31 games over the last two seasons. Isak and Jota as your two striking options would concern me.

Don't even think about selling Nunez. This lad is going to be a massive bonus for us this season under slot. His assists and goals in a bad season for him is so impressive.❤

If Salah stays I hope he’s less isolated. In his first season he benefited from an overlooked sliding doors moment- the injury to clyne that led to trent’s debut - but the lack of support he got from trent and / or the RM this season has to be part of the reason he looked a bit shite

Honestly just give Salah a 10 year contract, Saudi will always be there to buy him even if he’s 40 and we don’t have to worry about letting him go for free

We need a clinical no.9 tbh, we create a lot of chances game in game out only for the mids & defs to score instead of the 9s…it’s genuinely draining and tiresome to watch

Do not sell Salah, he’s the reason why we did so wonderful this season. We will need him with the new build.

Nunez and Salah will stay but I don't see Diaz staying, There's no smoke without fire and there's too much Spanish rumors and a dad that can't keep his trap shut , Be nice if we got a winger that scored some goals or created some goals. Im with Paul , At 25yrs old both Nunez and Gakpo simply have to stay this season imo!

I want a new cdm cb and striker.

Surprised no one has thought about Kudus. Premier league proven, versatile (RW/CF), a pressing monster in a team that doesn't press and young enough that would allow us to keep Salah for a year before he is entering his peak. Believe he also has a fairly reasonable release clause. 🤔It'd be like have a left footed Mane on the right wing!

Salah won’t want to leave Europe in the next 5 years, he wants to stay at the top for the longest. If he goes it’ll be to Barca or Madrid or if Liverpool want him to. Nunez should stay but if we get a good offer we should take it, don’t think he has the IQ for a top top striker. He just won’t be consistent until he’s 28 and we don’t really want to wait until then. But if no good replacement keep him. Diaz I’d love to keep as it’s priceless to have a winger who can beat a man or multiple men on a regular basis, but his output needs to improve and if we get 100m offer we should think about it.

If Nunez was playing in a team that wasn't creating the sort of chances we create and got those stats, I'd be ok with him. The problem is, we do create so many good chances and he fails in so many of those situations.

To soon to tell were Salah is at. Decline shouldn't be so rapid. The club was in upheaval 2nd half of season.

Salah is fine. Against Brentford he was great. If he's willing to sign on reasonable terms, do it. He will probably want 3 years, we should try to do 2.

I totally agree with Paul here, I'm selling Salah this summer as well. We can't be losing him for nothing this time next year knowing we've got ownership that has a sell to buy "Moneyball" policy, plus Salah still has some value in today's market since he's still has that last year on his contract with us. The problem is there isn't young peak Mo Salah right winger out there unless we ask Arsenal can we take Saka from you which aren't happening. So we may have to use the money on individuals throughout the squad that can give us those Salah goals or more to offer the team.

Salah should be 100% be sold.

This front line scored the second most goals in a season in the clubs history. Its not broken. It needs tweaking with a couple of individuals. On Salah, worth keeping for some continuity and experience also. We need to hang on to these players until the time is right. Salah is almost a coin flip but not quite. Id try upgrade on Diaz however.

Nunez has to be given 1 more year. Even if he only makes 25 goals contributions next year as long as his erratic finishing improves I would keep him and sell Salah

I'm Uruguayan and one thing I don't understand is the fact that Nunez plays so well for us but so bad for Liverpool. Yes he's had flashes of genius and has improved a lot since last season but he just has to be more clinical. I'd give him one more year . Let's see how he does in the Copa America ( hopefully good ) Whereas for Diaz I'd sell him. His dad clearly wants him at Barca. He's an amazing footballer but he's in his late 20's now and as much as I love his work rate he just doesn't have that end product and his decision making is questionable. Mo we should sell or extend his contract. There's no way we let him go on a free. Besides he's replaceable as well. Kudos, Olise, Summerville. He's a legend no doubt about that. But I think he's at his peak.

I think we need to see how they shape up under Slot and his crew .

I feel like every team goes through this Salah conversation when stars are past there best or too focused on one player. It nearly always ends up with the team improving once they leave

I’ll give Darwin one last season under Slot to pull his socks up and start scoring goals like the madman he is

I would not be opposed to selling one of Diaz or Jota in order to bring in a younger, more versatile attacker like Kudus. Also Salah, he either needs to extend the contract or be sold, as big a legend as he is we can not let him walk for free.

Keep Sadio Nunez over Salah. Salah is our big pay cheque to get a Robbie Fowler style goal scorer. We made so many chances last season. We need a top finisher. Everyone knows how Salah plays now and as he's not in his prime he's getting found out.

If Mo wants to stay, I would bench him, especially if we get new winger in. Mo doesn't beat anybody anymore. A lot of his goals were penalties

I’m sorry everyone, I think Diaz is the one that should be sold if any. Even if Mo’s output drops a bit he still puts up some other wingers best seasons. PSG project is dead imo, so get Xavi Simons for that LW position.

Keep Nunez and Gakpo (still young enough to improve) for another year, and Jota (our best finisher), but sell Salah (gutted, but it's 100m) and Diaz (he's already late 20s so is probably at his ceiling and his end product just isn't good enough. I love him but frankly he's not quite as good as Mane was)

First I've heard of the clause to extend his contract for another year

We MUST sell mo. 2 hasn't beat defender in 18mth 1on1. He cannot cross with right foot at all and lot of simple balls across have been messed up due to using outside of left constantly, also his finishing has dropped off big time and i don't want him anywhere near pens missing 5from last 10. He doesn't do defensive work either nowadays. Cheers Mo tarahhh Mo

For the simple fact being fsg does not spend big (compared to others) we should definitely sell Salah and cash in especially the money we could get and invest it while we can

100% keep Nunez. We would make a big loss on him. I cant see many sides paying large sums for him anyway. Why make work for yourself if you dont need to? Its a busy enough summer without needlessly selling a player whos got us goals and assists. Rather him than fucking Summerville or Bakoyoko

Alot of Ste's points are based on how we played under klopp. I dont think that if Slot sets up how he has done previously that Gapko is the ideal no9 because he drops deep and will be occupying the same space as the no10. I do agree about moving Salah but if you're reasoning is that he should be a no9 is because his numbers for pressing and work off the ball etc are way down, then making him the no9 where he has to lead the press etc is lunacy lol. I see him moving into the 10 personally, I think he'd be great there. Nunez has been frustrating at times but so many of the frustrating things are very fine margins; hitting the woodwork and being fractionally offside, which is variance if anything. And given that the press briefed specifically about Slot improving Nunez makes me think that he's not going anywhere. Tbh there are question marks beside all of the forwards for Edwards I imagine so I could honestly see anyone of them going.

Sell Salah. Not the same since his last contract. No longer affects a game. We were much better without him at AFCON. Do not let him leave on a free!

We need to cash in on Salah now. He's been brilliant, so was Keegan, Kenny, Rush, Fowler, Owen, Torres, Suarez. Nothing lasts forever. I say cash in and reinvest the money on a new forward

Ste is thinking with his offside brain 🧠 and watching him on tv instead of looking at the stats 18 goals is still good for Nunez

Please please can we sort out the issues of a solid DM and trent not playing as this inverted right back first before we think about the front line because it has been more trouble than it's worth we need to balance this team in attack and defence then we might find our numbers will go up in terms of converting chances in to goals

I can see Mo ending up at PSG this summer. Olise or Johan Bakayoko to replace him. Rodrygo is the dream

Ste is incorrect ange had Harry Kane in his pre season , I don’t agree with the fact Nunez should be sold he’s a asset

Would give Salah a contract extension - Cant be having him leave on a free. Only attacker I see leaving is Diaz, since his dad wants to move to Spain.

Salah is not in the bracket of Messi and Ronaldo, we need to sell him, he doesn’t press he doesn’t have that fight.

Darwin definitely needs 1 more season at least. Can Ste name anyone to replace him? I haven't seen good options so far. We could spend 80m on another player who looks great and they flop, or miss chances, or get injured a lot. Rather the devil I know wben there arent any bankers around. Especially when he gets us goals and assists. Hopefully Jota stays fit and we can start him instead, im not saying i love nunez. But he stays

It was only last season where he signed a contract if he wanted to say a 4 year contract would have been signed then.

If salah doesn't wanna go he won't go will he, doesn't matter if we or anyone else says sell him, seems sad he's just seen as a cheque now, it's not like we bought him for mega money in the first place, theres bigger assests that could be sold

I don't think we need to sell any of the forward players but we do need another right winger. Luis Diaz can do a job there as can Jota but they are both better on the left. Gakpo and Darwin can inter change in the centre and with 5 subs there is nothing to suggest that we can't use both. If we were to sell Darwin I am nearly sure we'll regret it in a years time because he has the potential to be an astonishing striker.

Sell em, too big of an ego for the new manager, only scores at the first half of the season, doesnt work back anymore. Follow the model of Real Madrid, let him go before his too old!!

The biggest problem with our attack is the lack of chemistry they all have (other then maybe Darwin and Mo) se for me we need changes in personnel there this summer.

Sell Mo 100% been amazing but time to go.

We will have to keep Nunez unless we prepared to take a loss on that which we outlayed for him ! If Arne can get Nunez to understand the offside rule and that he needs to kick the ball between the goalposts so that it touches the net behind....then he could become a reliable no 9 !! YNWA 😊

I love all 5 of them. But we need that 6th striker who is specifically a goalscorer. But yeah they all carry unique abilities that are vital to keep hold off. They all also have obvious flaws that can be worked on

2 of Nico Williams, Bakayoko and Summerville would improve our options on the wing

I would sell Diaz and Bring in a young left winger. Play Gakpo LW and Nunez down the middle as an out and out No.9 with a No.10 behind him in Szoboszlai

I agree with paul sell salah try get 100m for him try buy kubo and neto that replaces the pace of salah and you get 2 23 year old that you can rotate which helps for the full season.

Nunez output and availability, just as good if not better than isak and watkins and has even more room for improvement with a new style of play, make him the focal point, u have to cash in on salah and diaz bcos he doesnt have enough end product, get two wingers who are better in one on one duels and get to the byline and get crosses in for him, and mcallister in the 10 position in a 4 2 3 1 formation, he will fly.

If you sell Salah you need to buy two right wingers, who can run and score and that will cost loads, you get one in now keep Salah and then he goes next season its a better transition. Also salah off form is better than anyone else at right wing in this league right now. palmer was a 10 for ages and Bowen a striker. We need a right wing, striker, left back upgrade and a centre back. Those are more priorities than selling salah. Jota needs someone else as his injury record means there cant just be two players at striker. Also as Diaz is constantly talking about Barcelona sell.

I absolutely love Salah.....however his inability/desire to press leaves our right side completely open to counter attacks time and time again. We often blame Trent but when the person in front of you doesn't help out to close the space your on a hiding to nothing.

Ins - Frenkie De Jong £70m Leny Yoro £35m Santiago Jimenez £45m Antonee Robinson £30m Outs - Caoimhin Kelleher £20m Rhys Williams £5m Kostas Tsimikas £10m Tyler Moreton £10m Fabio Carvalho £15m Luis Diaz £75m -Net spend of just £45m-

I wouldn’t sell darwin give him another season and see what happens. Just needs to work on his offside play give the new coach a new chance with him. He just needs to be less wasteful. But there seems to be something there. You don’t buy a player for 100,000,000 quid and get rid of him after two seasons.

If we keeps Salah and he drops off like a Cliff, I’m afraid he’s gonna give Slot a Hard time if Benched

I wouldnt be too sad if Salah and Diaz got sold. Nunez should still be kept, along with Jota.

Klopp had him work on his assists which he’s improved ..

If any of them want to go, sell them, but if they want to stay, keep them to see how they do with Slot in charge for a season. The caveat being that Salah has to extend his contract by a year but with no pay rise. Keep Nunez & use him as a winger. Play Salah through the middle & invert Diaz on the right.

For me, id sell Salah for at least $100M. I think getting a winger for that side frees up the trent inverted wingback role. Move Diaz to the right as a right footed winger and have Gakpo on the left as an inverted winger. This was we can keep Robo as a wide wingback to create balance

Ste's argument fall on the fact that he argues for jota who has scored lass than Darwin

It all depends on the system Slott will play I have a feeling it will be 4-2-3-1 So we would have good option in bjateic and Morton but we need a starting DM that will cover ground and break up play and get the ball to the more offensive players in our system we have enough players that can play in that pivot like Mac / jones /gravanberch/ trent. and Elliot gapko dom can all cover the 10 For my DM option I want us to get the best available player in the market right now mine would be Ugarte a gem of a players I’d also look at getting a top class CB maybe and a LB that can cover CB CB my ideal choice is Leny Yoro. LB I’m not really sure who to go with I’d also look on getting a RW

Its all about form if nunez drops out of for you cant take him out the team because jotta is always injured its pretty simple

Salah was not great after the previous AFCON. He was flying in that season too beforehand. That was the crazy goal against city season.

Are you serious? Salah is best finisher? Just how many chances did he miss this season? Nunez gets criticised for less but Salah gets a pass as usual.

Is Salahs work rate down because of age, injury or was he not trying as much for Klopp who he didn’t like, he might be better under Slot, Klopp messed up salah by inverting Trent leaving Salah to plough a lone furrow down the right side

Diaz most likely since barca probably wants him and thats his dream move, also his father is publicly saying he wants his son in barca

It won't be his choice to make

the whole 'we dont want to risk losing salah on a free next year because he is a sellable asset etc' is such small club mentality. Exactly the reason why FSG are trash owners. No other big club acts like this. He is easily our best attacker. its plain obvious we keep at all costs. If he leaves on a free thats because our cheapskate owners wont pay him what he is worth. He gets paid less than Jadon Sancho gets at Man U, a man who is literally out on loan because he is surplus to requirements. City pay Grealish more, a man who plays on the wing and averages 7 goals a season. If anything Salah has been underpaid for many years (as was Mane, hence him leaving) - RedMenTV never discuss this side of the issue. FSG are trying to spend a ludicrous amount on a NBA franchise, yet they average a net spend of about £40m per summer at LFC. Klopp raised LFC from a $400m Asset to a $4bn asset and he left because he was sick of the financial restraints, im convinced of this.

Sell Diaz, get Olise in. LW: Gakpo and Darwin; ST: Jota and Salah; RW: Salah and Olise. Solid.

Nooo Way about selling Núñez!! There's no point to that! He's got a lot more to give. He can deffo be worked on!

LFC is heavy on LW with Diaz, Gapko & Jota. Sell Luis to buy an understudy for Mo Salah like Johan Bakayoko. Darwin Nunez needs either an upgrade or a replacement⚽

Diaz is the one I’d sell. End product not good enough

I want 2 Cb's and rw

Mo has been on a downward trajectory since AFCON - and that huge new salary - two years ago. In some games this year he has been abysmal. He's a busted flush; can't/won't go past players with the ball; ridiculously predictable; poor passing and now diminishing end product. And not to forget; no right foot. I'd've bitten your hand off last year for that 150m. Where else is Arne going to get funds? I have absolutely no doubt he is running his contract down for that massive signing fee and the 1.5mUSD a week. Cheers Mo.

Can we just swap out forwards for Crystal Palace's thanks, LOL

i would sell Salah take the money and buy a left foot RW & a left foot CB

Salah should be sold… from a business point of view it is a NO brainer to sell a player in their 30’s especially IF you can get 100 mill+ for him… only SHORT sighted people will say otherwise

“Is he a messi, is he a Ronaldo…yes” wtf man no he is not. Don’t make me laugh man. He cannot play as a 10. Doesn’t have the technical ability

Correction to your guest (perhaps get facts right)…. Nunez 54 appearances 18 goals Suarez first full season 39 appearances 17 goals. And that was in a poor Liverpool team. In fact Nunez first season was 15 in 42 appearances so stats wise he’s shaved a mighty.2 % off of his finishing, when he’s 60 he’s going to be Rush levels…

Imo, we need to sell Salah if not we will lose him for free and based on his return since his injury, its not looking good bruv. We have invested too much time and too much money on Nunez its not time to get cold feet. Id rather sell Jota who had been to injury prone its ridiculous

Can we sign Purple Aki to scare the crap out of opposition defences?

not really sure its going to be up to Arne Slot.

Give salah an extension if not he has to go cant lose him for free that forward line needs improving. If Liverpool are supposed to be this clever well run club ,who are so well run we are always letting players go for free then telling the world how we cant afford players. That needs to stop

😂😂😂 ste is killing me

If youdon't rell Darwin the offide changed it wl be ok

Nunez/Diaz left Salah / gakpo /nunez middle Jota/salah right Then you have the kids.....🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Yup, luiz, send him to barca !

No, sell all 3, if the bids are right! Time to get the new regime rollin!

The disrespect towards Egypt national team when they have been far more successful than England in recent times

Diaz is the easy sell here. Nunez is miles ahead of Gakpo too, despite he frustrations.

Sell Diaz and possible even Jota.... I would bring in Gordon and Olmo

Oli is 28 and isak is the same age as nunez isak has shown no more than nunez imo and has a poor injury record again think we either just add another forward or we sell diaz or salah diaz because his output isn't enough and salah because of his age id rather we just add another forward who would ave to be a right winger.

Salah!

Need to sell mo cash in tie Trent and vvd down

Salah has to go.We won 11 games and we scored goals.Indo needs replacing.Keep but need a big strong guy.

Ste is having a competition with himslwf for the most ludicrous thing he can say on a podcasts.

Mo is no longer top player with 30 goals per season.

Diaz
