Yes to Sarr, so much potential for Klopp to work with. Hope that oneās true as well.

In that case, would be interesting to see who do we manage to sell out of; Wilson, Shaqiri, Origi.
Brewster is also a possibility, but I hope itās a loan for now and then assess it again next summer.

If we sign Sarr this window then in my opinion one of Salah or Mane will leave next summer. Of course it will all be sold as unexpected but watch and see.
Pretty much the only forward weāve been consistently linked with isnāt he? If weāre in for him I can see Edwards getting Sarr for whatever he sells Wilson for. (Iām just saying Iād expect Edwards to get similar values, not that he has to sell Wilson in order to afford it).
I havenāt seen a lot of Sarr. Is he comparable to a Wilfried Zaha at a similar age?
Sarr is like a young Mane tbh. Iāve seen him once, when he destroyed our backline multiple times

Letās first sign Sarr if heās signing and see if he can ever be close to those two.
Why not just a bit of context please.

Similar in some ways. Similar build and athleticism, definitely not as skillful but better movement off the ball, better delivery from out wide and harder working than Zaha.
Klopp always gushes over these types when they play us - Zaha, Traore, Sarr, Pulisic and they always tend to cause us problems. Iām sure heād enjoy working with Sarr.

Nothing to do with being close to them. In my opinion he will struggle to ever get close they are proper worldies. But our transfers are apparently operated on a long term view and planned out for the next two years. 18 months after Sarr arrives him Salah and Mane would all be at an AFCON for a month or two. I donāt see careful operators like Klopp and Edwards allowing that to happen. So, in my opinion only, his arrival would be first sign one of those two is leaving next summer already planned out.

Come now, you wouldnāt be overstating it, would you?
I donāt think I am. I know everyone thinks itās just a big joke but I really donāt think Klopp and Edwards will, willingly and without need, steer themselves into a situation where every senior player for 2 positions is missing for up to 6 weeks during a busy period.

I expect a lot of old links to resurface in the next couple of weeks like Harvey Barnes, Mandi, etc.

āmonth or twoā
Now weāre at āup to 6 weeksā
The last AFCON played in the winter was spread over 3 weeks. Salah was involved all the way through to the final. He missed 4 league games.
It may well turn out that Salah and/or ManƩ are sold between now and January-February 2022 but that is likely to happen anyway, irrespective of the AFCON.
The number of teams involved has increased since then.
Edit; plus it was the Italian league which has always been less cluttered with fixtures than England at that time of year.
You underestimate me. I checked the PL fixtures over the same period and heād have only missed 4 games for Liverpool as well.
The number of teams participating has gone from 16 to 24. At a guess that might extend the tournament to 4 weeks rather than 3.
Not 6 weeks and certainly not two months.

With no other incoming?
If so, Iād be disappointed with that.
But if it is Sarr now, as an extra wide forward, and then when Salah or Mane leaves we replace them with another top signing, fine. (Iām not advocating selling Mo or Sadio, but at some point I accept it will happen, but the longer we hang on to world class, the better).
If Sancho is still available I could possibly see us going in for him, if Mo or Mane leaves down the line.
