It is nothing but a great signing. Salah looks after himself so will easily be able to perform for the next 3 years, rarely injured and fully versed in the system Liverpool play, used to the Premier League and one of the top 5/6 forwards in the world. Salah leaving would have seriously weakened Liverpool but as it is they look a lot stronger going into next year.

No one is questioning that Salah isn't a great player but what we are questioning is the finances involved.

Liverpool have completely smashed their wage structure and have almost doubled his wages. You don't think players like Van Dijk ect are going to be on the phone to their agents asking for parity?

Just like the rags in 2010 when they smashed their wage structure to keep Rooney Liverpool have left themselves exposed to players demanding what they want.

They already have the 5th highest wage bill in world football and I would imagine by the end of next season they will be higher.

FSG are used to low balling in business and this is Uncharted Territory for them

Not sure how serious this is.

Salah was already there. They haven't added him. They've lost Mane, one of their most crucial game winners, and brought in a promising striker who is utterly untested at the top level. They've also apparently smashed their delicate wage structure to keep Salah around, quite possibly causing dressing room unrest. By what possible metric do they "look a lot stronger going into next year"?
 
£500,000k a week for a players who didn’t look up to much at the tail end of the season .............. don’t get me wrong if he states fit etc then fair enough but got a feeling this will bite them in the arse
 
Only surprise is that Salah only just now is On 350k a week Liverpool got away for years paying him average wages for a player that club been going on about being the best player in the world..
 
He has played his hand superbly and nailed them.
They are paying him a fortune now and they have shit it after mane leaving.
It’s only a three year deal and he already had a year left so it’s a good deal for both
So now they pay high fees and high wages can they shut up about this bet spend nonsense
 
The one thing I don't get in all these transfers is the amount of detail the media and fans have about the wages.
I would have thought contract details were confidential so are we all just guessing.
My wife has never asked or known what I earn, never asked me I don't think (could change if she wanted a divorce I suspect)
Is there a requirement that football clubs have to disclose?

It must be exhausting to have to constantly sail against the wind.

It’s known as the Echo Metric.

Some guesswork, but it is often agents boasting.
Full contract details lodged with PL and, I think, PFA. Bound to leak.

There’s definitely no requirement for details of individuals being outlined. There is for player salaries (a total figure for all the squad) being shown in the club’s annual report but as it doesn’t show individuals, it doesn’t give much away.
There’s often big differences in contract reporting because some contracts can be a more incentive based than others. One news platform will give the guaranteed salary and another will give the potential number should all the potential bonuses be attained. And some bonuses are a lot more doable than others!
 
Salah signing a new contract is great news, I can't believe they are stupid enough to let this happen.
This is the end of that lot. They already look weaker than last season

If Nuno or whatever he’s called is as good as Mane which is unlikely, they’ve stood still while paying more in wages, that’s about as positive as you can make this.
