Pre-news circulating that VVD and Salah

Liverpool in danger of making City’s mistake (and United’s historically) of spending all of their resources on players already into or entering their 30s? What proportion of the wage bill is already taken up by Salah, VVD, Robertson and Allison?

Should they instead be handing TAA what he wants and looking at investing in replacements for some of those pensioners?

Bradley is a better all round player and defender.

He’s really not.

Has the potential to be.

Possibly I guess (personally I don’t see it) but there’s hot takes, and there’s hot takes.

On one hand we have the highest assisting defender in history who’s won every trophy with the club and regularly been part of the best defences in England on multiple occasions.

On the other hand we have a kid with 11 Prem starts.

This was always going to be the result.

I think it makes sense, I don't think it really gets any better than this for VVD and Salah in the long term but TAA still has time to experience something different and potentially more successful, with a huge signing-on bonus.

Obviously would be a shame for you but can't imagine many would really begrudge him that move.

Trent has rejected a 70k increase and wants a further 100k increase (170k total increase) to his existing salary.

This is called forcing an exit

Agree, he goes with thanks for your time at the club and good luck.

The other 2 are still playing at an exceptionally high level so happy days.

Not necessarily. If that puts him on a level with our top earner then it’s a perfectly reasonable request. He’s at his peak and has been instrumental in what success we’ve had.

Who provides more assists than everyone bar Salah.

And who is very marketable, domestically at least.
