      So going by FSG practices he'll be ready to play his first game for us in January I suppose?

      Be like a new signing then... :D

      Sounds like he has to head to Paris for a couple days and then re-enter the country. From what I've read it's a fairly common issue, something about the way his VISA is dated. Of course, had we wrapped this transfer up sooner, it wouldn't have mattered ;)

      Visa won't be a problem because he has enough international caps.

      FSG themselves don't do the paperwork for visas. It is hard to blame this on FSG. I do blame them for Keita not being signed yet though.

      Been impressed with the lad so far, I like how direct he plays, how quickly he cuts inside trying to work an angle for the shot and he moves very quickly with the ball. Some players are fast but not nearly so fast with the ball at their feet, That isn't the case with Salah.

      Be interested to see where Mane plays this season, he generally played on the right last season but it would not surprise me to see him play down the left at times this year or maybe even up front?

      Not sure if this is the right thread, and I'm sure the mods will tell me, but the think I may have found a goodish song for the lad.
      To the tune of James - Sit Down:-
      Mo Salah, Mo Salah!
      Mo Salah down the wing.
      Salah-lah-lah-laaah, incredibly!

      Or just nick Maxi Rodriguez's and tweet it a bit:-
      Salah, Mo Salah run down the wing for me!

      Looking forward to see him swap flanks with Sadio and also, at times, play a more central role.
      His link up play and know how of when to make a run have been great to see in preseason. His finishing has been impressive.
      Now to see his work rate and ability to back track when called upon. Something that Jürgen stated was something he wants to work with him on according to TAW
      Seems like a bargain at 35 million.

      When Mané is fit and playing around Mo then I truly feel sorry for everyone else.

      Imagine those two interchanging and dropping in to space and exploding behind the lines.

      Lads like Hendo and Phil who can ping passes behind defences will be licking their chops (their own. Not Mo and Mané's).

      Mane to the left of you Salah to the right and Bobby and Couts in front, bloody hell any defender would crap his pants faced with that attack!!
      I really think we are going to be incredibly potent in attack and IF we can get VVD signed up then together with Robertson on the left then our defence should be much better as well. On paper we are looking pretty damned good for the coming season, not sure we have enough depth, that is my only concern, but even there i think we should be ok.

      Agreed - it is the back line that we have to address still, and both the attack and midfield (even minus Keita) should be quite good. We well may see Lallana and Henderson or Can as backups in midfield (although these will get plenty of action given the schedule), and then you have some of the younger players like Grujic in midfield and Origi up front.

      But we have to address the back.

      Good song for opponent CB's perhaps after we score one something like

      "Mane to the left of me Salah to the right here I am stuck in the middle with you"

      Good quote from Klopp in today's presser about Mo's impact on the side:

      "He creates spaces for all the rest. We need to use them. It’s not about giving him the ball, it’s about what happens when he’s running.”

      All 3 of our front line do it.
      There'll be so much interchanging by those 3, it'll make the opponents heads spin.

      Now we just need to get the back line sorted.
      Lovren and Matip can both pass, but Lovren especially needs to step his game up in defense.

      That said, Klopp has said a few times he's happy with the players he has, but we need to defend better as a team from set pieces, and not concede from the 2nd ball, which he rightly pointed out is where the problem has been.

      Decent enough start today. Missed a lot of chances, but got one, and at least got into the positions to score, made good runs, showed good pace. Once he settles, hope to see him convert similar chances in future. If he does, will be a very good buy.

      If you saw him in the street you wouldn't think professional athlete but he gets in front of goal a lot. I think the signs look very good with him. It's not like he's easy to mark, he sought of just walks about then when your back is turned, he's in!

      He reminds me of when Suarez first came to Liverpool, good pace, runs ragged, shows passion and like Suarez not clinical in front of goal when he first came to the club. We all know Suarez went on to be world class, will  Salah go on and do the same??
