And neither Virgil nor Mo have suffered the kind of dip Bobby or Sadio did

If they don't renew them it's purely because they don't want to pay the going rate.

Aye they’re both literally as good as ever. Maybe not quite as fast but not even close to a permanent dip for either of them.

They’re a pair of freaks and should be compensated accordingly.

Virgil in particular can still be an important player for ia for the next 5-6 years

He’s an absolute monster. Never seen anything like him in a defender. Delap is a good strong young centre forward and barely got a touch yesterday.

You could easily sell them if they took a dip at the end of next season.

The absence of any links to other clubs is encouraging. Can obviously change quickly but I really do think they get them signed up.

Defo. Salah’s comments in particular really do scream leverage to me.

I liked how Delap didn't make much of a meal of the physical battles/tackles he had, he seemed to enjoy it

The bit when vvd headed the ball back to himself and Delap had to foul him was just stupid.

Virgil's aura does that to you

He got nothing out of Konate or Van Dijk but I was impressed by him.

We know that it's not as easy as fans say.  They'll be 34/35 then, on £300k to £400k/wk, with legitimate ambitions to play only for a CL team or stay in England. They'll want a multi-year deal from a new club, a handsome signing on fee, and their Liverpool contract paying up. We'd want money too. Clubs would see their poor form and shy away, fearing permanent decline.

It's much more likely we'd loan them out and pay a chunk of their huge wages.

They'd get paid a million a week and go to Saudi Arabia

Only if they want to. This fantasy selling is no different to fans saying "I'd buy that lad from Example FC". But what if they don't want to come? "Well, I'd buy him anyway".

And if they wanted to go to Saudi they could do it this year and have an extra twelve months at £1m a week.

If they aren't good enough to play for us they'll leave.

His contract must be due for renewal again soon 

Get on with it, Hughes FFS!

It’s not as simple as that as Cam pretty much explained above.

Both of them are still at a level where they're the best in the world in their position 

If their level drops off in 2 years, they'll know this themselves
