“My biggest worry for Liverpool is if they lose Trent, van Dijk and Salah,”
“They’re the best three players in the team and it’ll be difficult to replace them.”
“So they need to give them the money. Money talks. I was surprised they let Mane go. I would have offered him what he wanted. If you want to win the league you’ve got to put your hand in your pocket.”
