Farewell to Mohamed Salah.
A faintly ridiculous 193 goals and 93 assists in the Premier League. 286 goal involvements in 327 appearances — a record surpassed only by Alan Shearer (324) and Wayne Rooney (311), both of whom made at least 100 more appearances.
The only player to have been named PFA Player of the Year three times.
One of English football’s greatest imports and Africa’s greatest exports. A phenomenon #LFC

All the Mo and Robbo stuff is just a reminder - if we needed it - that character, emotion, feeling and personality are every bit as important to a football club as anything else.
Klopp meeting Robbo at his house before he was signed and not talking about football says it all. He was interested in the person, not just the player.
How you’re driven, what you’re made of, how far you’ll go and how hard you’ll push are huge factors in success - and massive in how supporters connect with individuals and teams.
There’s a huge emotional connection with two lads who have given everything and been absolutely key to a golden period.
They’ll leave a big hole behind them.

Carragher is definitely right about Souness tbh. He played for Liverpool for six years, won five league titles, four league cups, three European cups and was probably the best midfielder in the world. How on earth is that being sniffed at
281 - Mohamed Salah has 189 goals and 92 assists in 310 Premier League appearances for Liverpool, the most goals and assists combined any player has for a single club in Premier League history. King.
1 - Since 2017-18, Mohamed Salah ranks 1st in the Premier League for:
Goals (189)
Assists (92)
Open Play Chances Created (534)
Shots (1,104)
Shots on Target (480)
Touches in the Opposition Box (2,717)
Relentless.
Liverpool's total expenditure this summer around £449m, including the add-ons.
But they have recouped up to £262m from sales. They also raised £62m last summer when they spent just £10m on Chiesa.
This has been the most remarkable transfer window in the club's history.

Jesus christ, its a negotiation and was the opening bid. It was also a British record. People talking like we offered some magic beans and a bag of balls. Brentford wanted 50m for Wissa and you offered 25m
