Still think the priority should be someone with pace, having lost Sane; & now possibly Sterling & Jesus.

ExactlyAye the club will go forward with losing Aguero, Torres, Jesus and Sterling, and bring in only Haaland and a young untested Alvarez. Yes that sounds just like our repsonsible and ambitious club that wants to challenge on all fronts, sure aye.
Good points - cheered me up as I didn’t really want Raz to go. But I believe the club know best!I appreciate what you are saying, but I have always maintained Sterling's pace is something of a myth.
In the first two yards, if he stands you up, then it's bye bye...
His advantage is mainly down to his clever runs without the ball.
However, if you are talking pace on the run over a number of yards, he can be caught by a few.
I'd imagine Haaland's true pace, certainly against any high line daft enough to try, will also create space for the lads on the outside.
WE sell Sterling I am 100% certain we will spend big on a top class replacement.We spent the entirety of last season missing a striker to replace Aguero. Haaland fills that gap. Alvarez replaces Jesus as a versatile forward player. Palmer, we were told in January, replaced Torres in the squad. Now we're being told he's replacing Sterling as well.
If we do choose not to replace Sterling (looks likely), we'll be losing an important dimension to our attack. I'm sure Pep will tweak things, but I'd like a bit of pace.
With Mahrez's age and contract situation, there's a ready made place for Palmer to take as his successor, (the same goes for Gundo and McAtee).
I really don't believe signing a new winger this summer would harm his development, especially with 5 subs and a ridiculous schedule. Don't forget he can play in midfield too.
Hope notHere a few we might go for if Sterling goes..

Bayern would declare WW3 if we pulled that one off.
Well Ze Germans are on a losing run already?
I have to agree. I'm just speculating but I think if Klopp wanted Salah tied down long-term, it would be done. I get that FSG is the captain and not Klopp but I don't think they'd spend 85M on Nunez if they were unable to pay Salah his demands.There were signs last season that Salah was past his best, I think Liverpool would love to cash in on him this summer.
incase anyone missed it on the cucurella thread. Update from the reliable @mattyb
Just had a text saying not to believe the reports, this is far from done
Don't tell the Poles and Lewandowski!!Well Ze Germans are on a losing run already?
I've mentioned something along these lines as well. It's my opinion that Raz has lost a half step or so(expected considering he's been playing first team football since 18) and is now trying to figure out how to impact games without that electric pace that he once had. He's still faster than most but I think he's starting to have to rely more on his technique now..I appreciate what you are saying, but I have always maintained Sterling's pace is something of a myth.

I am not convinced Klopp wants him to stay, crazy wages for an ageing player, cash in, brings in funds and frees up a huge wage.I have to agree.

Yeah, no matter how anyone wants to dress is up, Sterling is so much quicker than anyone we have on the wings.
I feel like this is going to be one of those things people tell you isn't an issue and then in twelve months time we're all back on the transfer forum looking forward to bringing some real pace back into our wide play.
85M in transfer but he is reportedly on 100k per w + bonus.I have to agree. I'm just speculating but I think if Klopp wanted Salah tied down long-term, it would be done.

Diaz?
Alvarez sorry, clearly I hadn't had my coffee this morning. Will go back and edit that.

We will sign Gabby and Sterling replacement but not this windows, if we can't realistically get the player that we want then why bother.
We are willing to wait next season when realistic opportunities arises.

I suppose at the end of the day, no matter what anyone of us thinks only Pep knows how he wants our formation to pan or work out.?

At present, Grealish is a downgrade on Sterling in every respectI believe Grealish is the direct replacement and Phil will get more games on the right.
Bernie staying would almost certainly change some of the thinking, but still being told we have a big iron in the fire.

Every respect...except expected assists, shot creating actions, carries into the penalty area, progressive passes, the things that will be important when playing with a world class striker.At present, Grealish is a downgrade on Sterling in every respect
