“AT THAT POINT LIVERPOOL HAVE ANOTHER DYNAMIC FORTHRIGHT INSTEAD OF WHAT IS BY ALL ACCOUNTS A DEPENDENCE, OR HAS BEEN A DEPENDENCE, ON SALAH’S OBJECTIVES.”
Proceeded whether presently is the perfect chance to sell Salah, James reacted: “Better believe it, tomorrow. I’d do it now. This isn’t about Mo Salah not being a decent player, his objective record justifies itself with real evidence.
“Comparative in insights to somebody like [Sergio] Aguero, where Pep Guardiola can take a gander at Man City and not need Aguero.
“I BELIEVE LIVERPOOL’S SMOOTHNESS IS UNDERMINED BY SALAH, DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE SCORES.”
WHO HAS SALAH BEEN CONNECTED WITH?
Salah started new theory over his future while conceding that he would be available to playing in Spain sooner or later in the midst of revealed interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The 28-year-old, who just has two years left to run on his present agreement, told Marca before Liverpool’s Champions League quarter-last loss to Real in March: “I desire to have the option to play for some more years.
“WHY NOT? NOBODY REALIZES WHAT WILL OCCUR LATER ON, SO… PERHAPS ONE DAY [I WILL PLAY IN SPAIN], YES.”

“I think I have played OK this season, yet it’s not about me – it’s about the group. For us collectively, I think on the off chance that we’d had the fans in the arena, our position, our circumstance, would have been greatly improved. We endured a ton this season with missing the fans.
“SO I AM GLAD IN THE LAST ROUND OF THE PERIOD WE PLAYED WITH OUR FANS. IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY TO SEE THEM BACK IN THE ARENA.”
