Ben Smith saying we've offered 8m and they want £12m.
I say bite their hand off at £12m and here's why -

1. He would improve our side straightaway
2. His value will at least double in the next 2-3 years (imo)
3. Its all very well saying we need a LB, RB, Def Mid (which we do) but Suarez leaves if we don't finish top 4 this season, that's nailed on.
Salah helps us win more games (we're that **** defensively it'll take more than a Jan window to sort it) and if we don't finish top 4 then we've already begun planning for life after Suarez with the purchase of Salah.

Your well thought out arguments won't wash round these parts.

Neither will my rational about Gerrard in his and the Bournemouth thread's so I guess I'll argue for a bit then get bored with the ****wits and disappear off the site for another few days!

I think this is a huge opportunity to make top 4. We're in the driving seat still and we need that little something extra to push us over the line. Spending a couple of million more than we'd like for someone we feel will make that difference could be a great investment if we make the Champions League this season.

I say pay it

Just a play on "Silly" season, often referred to during transfer windows.

Different price obviously but it's like Arsenal buying Ozil (imo)
Ozil wasn't what they needed, Arsenal already had Wilshere, Rosicky, Ramsey, Gnabry, Ox-Chamberlin, Poldolski, Walcott, Carzola who can all play in the attacking midfield roles behind Giroud.

Now they might win the league (highly unlikely imo) so signing Ozil wasn't what Arsenal needed to win the PL, Wenger signed him because he practically guarantees top 4.
Being in the Champions League year after year cements the club financially and in the eyes of players they look to sign they know they'll play in the CL 99% of the time.

For me that's the same with Salah, we have more 'pressing issues' at full back, defensive midfield and right centre back (imo) that everyone can see need addressing but look at the Villa game, 2-2 with 30 minutes to go and Rodgers didn't make an attacking change.

Our first 11/12 players is right up there, after that we are thread bare with youngsters coming through and Aspas / Moses who haven't done enough.

We're back to relying on a 19 year old in Sterling to perform every week ffs
