Ed02, couple of questions if I may. It's all gone quieter on the Salah front given the Mane and Nunez situations taking the headlines. Has anything changed re him staying next year and do you think he will sign a new contract given I think you said it was his image rights that couldn't be agreed. And. did we offer Mane a new deal or are the club looking to sell him for the right offer. Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - Salah has said he is staying until the end of his contract. I suspect the new contract situation is made complicated because of his prior expectation to be the post-Ronaldo poster boy at Real Madrid - and he might of been if the financial expectations were more reasonable. Approaching 30 he might now be thinking that opportunity has gone for good and his "agent" might will be pressing for a huge deal in terms of money and length of contract that would not suit Liverpool - hence there being no agreement so far. I would not discount Barcelona waiting until his contract runs down - he can agree a pre-contract with them in January - and there may already be an agreement to do this.}

He will go to Barcelona IMO next year. Hopefully once rested he has one last stellar season for us and receive a hero’s send off that he deserves (if doesn’t use last year to sound off! )

I think he’ll go to Barcelona on a free as well. Can’t complain too much as we completely mugged them over Coutinho, so swings and roundabouts. If we get Nunez that’s softens that blow.

We could possibly get one of Salahs best seasons. If nothing is agreed yet he may play his best to keep up interest and claim to a big payday. Also with him not being in the World Cup he may get vital rest that others may not. At the end of the day he’s been nothing short of exceptional for us if he leaves after next season on a free we’ve still had more than our moneys worth from him!

I expect Liverpool will lose mane and Salah over the next two seasons. Whilst it’s a loss the club will move on. They’ve served their purpose and replacements need to be sourced now. Diaz Nunez will be a great combination and the transition will be seamless if we let Salah go next year and put the next super star in his place. I hope Liverpool can sign Nunez as the team has needed a real finisher. If he’s as good as he seems in front of goal it will be worrying for opposition because Liverpool create chance after chance just need someone to take them.
