Recently, in an interview with "Anfieldwatch", former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy talked about the impact of Salah 's contract renewal and his expectations for young player Fabio Carvalho. He Said that renewing Salah's contract is a very wise choice, because finding his replacement will obviously cost more money.
On the departure of Mane and the arrival of Nunez
Murphy said this: "When it comes to Mane, I think when a player wants to leave, he doesn't really have a lot of options. Liverpool certainly planned this well, bringing in Dias before Mane left, and I believe he will eventually become a regular player on the left. "
" In many ways, he is very concise and efficient. characteristics, as well as that amazing tenacity and technical ability, so I think signing him is a very wise choice. Now the team has introduced Darwin Nunez , which means they have a good position at the forward. There's still plenty of competition, while also replacing Mane's goal output, which is obviously a big factor in Liverpool's success."
"So I'm pleased with the signings they've done following Mane's departure. Keeping Salah is vital for the club to lose two top players at the same time, which is obviously going to be a huge blow because from a football perspective, maintaining continuity in the squad is a good thing because people. Need to understand each other's roles and build a relationship."
On the impact of Salah's contract extension
Murphy said: "I certainly don't think Salah is the type to fall into his comfort zone and lower himself because he has more money. A level player. "
" He can score a lot of goals no matter what, and he still has enough goals and plays at a high level. "
" From a business perspective. Look, I think it's also very shrewd because if the reported weekly wage is £400,000, that's £20m a year
"If you try to bring in some players to take Salah's place, then I think that's going to be. Costing more than £20 million, and that's not counting wages. So keeping him makes sense. "
" The only knock-on effect is that people think players will start trying to knock on the head coach's door to make more money. But I actually don't think that will happen because players are generally more inclined to understand their own value and understand that players who perform like this can get more money. "
"If eventually a player like Van Dijk or Thiago comes knocking and says, 'OK, Salah got this and I want this too', then Liverpool are going to have to feel very' Tough' or trying to find a balance. "
"I think in this particular situation, it's obviously not worth making some outrageous choices or setting a precedent of saying, 'We won't be ordered to do that.' "
" It's certainly worth doing and when you look at some of the astronomical wages around the Premier League, he's probably worth it. I think Salah can look back at his time at Liverpool and say if anyone deserves to be one of the highest paid players in the league, it's probably him. The '
' front three were a fixture for a long time and were crucial to Liverpool's success. The first is their durability, the fact that they can play so many games together and perform consistently well. This means any issues behind them are less important as they are a formidable trio. "
About Jota and Nunez
Murphy said: "To be honest, compared to the prospects of Nunez and Dias, I think Jota can succeed in Liverpool. I feel a bit sorry for him at the moment because he didn't start a few big games at the end of last season and his contribution since he arrived has been truly phenomenal. What do you want from an offensive player? Goals and assists, he obviously did it all."
"Obviously, you don't want Nunez to adapt for too long, but that may not be that important because Liverpool already have Jota and Dias. He certainly seems to have adapted to his new surroundings. He was undeterred by the pressure. He has all the qualities that fans love about him, his quality and professionalism are very good, I believe this is crucial for Klopp. "
"So people have expectations for Nunez and are excited to see him, but with the current strength of Liverpool's frontcourt, whether he can make a huge contribution quickly is not that important. "
About Fabio Carvalho
Murphy said: "There is no doubt that this young man is certainly a talented player. He always wants to keep the ball at his feet and his technique is very good. Of course I don't think Carvalho will easily fit into the team. I believe he will have a bright future. "
" Of course we will talk about the big names because they are here to make big money, but we will see that Carvalho is even better than you think. "
Murphy said about Liverpool's midfielder
: "We are always pursuing perfection. Will Liverpool want to introduce some outstanding players in the midfield to make this area more competitive?' Maybe, in an ideal world it would be, but I don't think it's necessary. Because when you look at the numbers, it's not as rare as you think. "
" I think Jones is a very talented player and we will see more outstanding performances from him. I do think he should have played more games last season, but there's no way he's leaving. "
" you already have Henderson , Fabinho and Thiago. I think Keita can stay with Klopp because Klopp thinks he has more potential. The coach showed faith in him because while he occasionally got into trouble, more often than not he was a headache for opponents. "
" So, you have these four players, Milner has also signed a new contract to ensure that he can play some games, which in my opinion is a result of Klopp being happy with his current form. . "
"In the long run, they will consider letting players like Declan Rice to replace Henderson's role. I know Bellingham is certainly talented and he can play in any area of the midfield. Will he add quality, excitement and competition to the game? I think so. "
"I think there will be many clubs pursuing Bellingham next. Liverpool are not stupid and they will pay close attention to the development of the situation. "
"But if it was another season in midfield, I wouldn't be so worried. This is obviously enough, and I believe Klopp will also believe in some young players. "
About Thiago
Murphy said: "When I first saw Thiago play for Barcelona , he impressed me and he never stopped giving I'm impressed. I was also a midfielder and I loved watching midfielders play progressive football. "
"His greatest strength is his courage when handling the ball. He will maintain a high level of performance in any pressure situation and take the team further. Many people think that every player can have such courage, but I tell you now, this is actually the hardest thing. Facing any opponent, facing any tactics that stop you, stay awake and let things happen. This is really It's not easy. "
"When he first came to Liverpool I had countless debates with people on the radio. I know my old partner Hamann was a bit picky about Thiago, which surprised me because he's a smart guy, but I guess that's football. We all have our own opinions. In his games, I only saw his outstanding strength and quality of play. "
" The ability to control the tempo of a game, speed it up or slow it down, is one of the hardest things you can do. Gerald is certainly good at , but it's a rare skill.It's all about knowing when to play safe and when to play fast, and Thiago has clearly done that. "
" He will never jump higher than you, run faster than you, or crush you in the steal, but he will be clearer in mind than you, better than you in game, and better than you in game. Smarter than you strategically. His biggest flaw is that he hasn't been able to stay healthy all season, which obviously can't be blamed on him, but when he is healthy, I think he will be an absolute nightmare for opponents. "
" He was selected into the Premier League best team of the year, but he didn't even play that many games. This is the impression he left on other football players. "
