Evening Reds,
Been told Liverpool are going to throw the cheque book in for Semenyo in January.
14 Nov 2025 20:49:56
This would be a good idea, Salah will come out of this spell and prove us all wrong again but he isn't going to go on forever so now is the time to bring his deputy in.
14 Nov 2025 20:52:41
Fingers crossed. Would be a great signing but would almost confirm a Chiesa exit. As exciting as it is, it means nothing if Slot refuses to change his negative tactics.
14 Nov 2025 21:09:24
Do you think so FK? I'd of moreso assumed Rio to go on loan at an older age but going back amongst the younger lads for time being. I don't see Salah being here next season so don't see Chiesa being surplus or overstocked. Equally Chiesa is 28 same age we were after shifting Diaz so you may well be right.

Mo has 18 months left in Jan and, in reality has to be sold with a year on his contract if its going to be for a big fee.
The side is not set up for him anymore, and that is not going to change. Graft is required from all areas of the pitch these days.
The man is never going to play second fiddle, and his form has always been very poor following AFCON. It may well be that it will soon be time for him to part ways.
14 Nov 2025 21:30:56
Do people still use cheque books?
14 Nov 2025 21:49:47
Offer them Elliot and cash.

@Dr B, I honestly think we’ve missed our chance for genuinely big money for Mo. He won’t be wanted by anybody in Europe, certainly for a big fee and the only hope is for someone in Saudi or Qatar with more money than sense and even then I think the biggest we could hope for is (I can’t believe I was going to use the word ‘only’) £50m and that number will decrease unless Mo can find some form.

West Derby Wanderer IV - He is the arabic Ronaldo, whos marketing potential and symbolic value to the Saudi league is unparalleled. Its 150m all the way but it has to be soon.
{Ed001's Note - but he doesn't want to go to Saudi. It would mean leaving his family behind.}
15 Nov 2025 09:00:51
His family want to stay in England ed1? R would it be they want to stay in Europe?
15 Nov 2025 09:08:23
If his family don't want Saudi then he'll be here until at LEAST the summer of 2027.I personally would be very happy with that, the man will still get 20 goals from the wing this season. How many others do that.
{Ed001's Note - he doesn't want to go to Arabia either. He is very happy and settled in Liverpool, loves his family life and that he can live his life his way. If he was in Arabia, he would not get a moment's peace, he wants to be able to work on his recovery, training etc without interruption, which he doesn't get out there or when he goes back for international duty. On international duty, the EFA will literally bring guests to his hotel room in the early hours of the night, even when the team are playing a match the next day. He doesn't like that. He is happy with a life mostly in Liverpool but with holidays here in Dubai, where again people don't bother him and they can just enjoy being normal holidaymakers.}

Thats good Ed, personally i'd love to see him hang up his boots here. I think that's the way it should be for alltime 11 legends like him and Virg if that's what they want.
{Ed001's Note - that is what he wants.}
15 Nov 2025 11:40:44
A couple of years hard work for half a billion would buy a hospital and pay for Mo's charitable ventures, but i could see why a move on a free to Bayern would be more satisfying from a footballing and lifestyle perspective.
I think the riches on offer could tempt most, but maybe Mo is beyond that. Guess we'll know fairly soon, once he's competing with Semenyo and no longer guaranteed to start.
15 Nov 2025 13:56:52
He’s going to have to retire one day why not retire here? He’s been a model pro and could could still serve the club well doesn’t have to be playing. It sounds like his family is settled and happy here why would he want to disrupt that? I hope he stays and gets some sort of ambassador role.

scouse john L8 - we need the cash to complete the rebuild -our squad is unbalanced as it is.
16 Nov 2025 05:44:24
You back in Dubai ed? Just been here for a short break and heading back to the U. K. soon.
{Ed001's Note - yes mate.}
