Of course. It was late when I posted. Jorginho is actually the better of the two I think.Jorginho joined Chelsea, not Liverpool.

Salah isn’t going to get 40 goals again. I’d be surprised if he gets half that this season. Teams will be wiser to him surely?
I think 20 is about right, Salah's never hit anything close to those numbers before in his career, Kane has done it every season.I think this is wishful thinking similar to fans who didn’t think Kane could replicate his first breakthrough season. You don’t do what Kane and Salah did only to flop the following year.
However, last season was such a special season and it will be very hard to reach those levels again but I’ll be very surprised if he doesn’t hit 20 PL goals again, assuming he stays fit.

Fair point, but Kane's had to deal with defences being fully aware of what he can do, and doubling up on him for the last few seasons, yet he still racks up ridiculous numbers.He's never played in the team or system he is now before either and wasn't getting the same level of service. He scored a lot less the previous years for Roma but also was getting a lot less chances. He's taking twice as many shots for Liverpool.
That's actually really interesting seeing that his shots per goal ratio is that similar. 5,14, 5,33 and 4,43 shots per goal. His ratio at Liverpool is the best of them but not as massively as I'd expected.He's never played in the team or system he is now before either and wasn't getting the same level of service.

That happens all the time tbf, to most top clubs.

Finishing 3rd, 2nd and 3rd is definitely stagnation. Poch outI'm not laughing at Liverpool right now. I think £66m for Alisson is ridiciulous, but their 2018 turnover was £364m with £208m in wages. Meanwhile Spurs made £306m with player wages of £127m. Our net profit was £58m versus their £40m.
So the question is, where is the money? How is it that Liverpool can purchased the players they need, and Spurs are left bickering over £20m for Jack Grealish?
I know that we've finished above them for 8 out of the last 9 seasons, but they're clearly headed in the right direction, whereas it feels like we've stagnated the last 3 seasons.

It'll be interesting to see how Salah performs now teams know what he's all about.
This - 100%
They knew what he was about halfway through the season. He was still scoring.
I can to.. they'd have to get some out first though. Wijnaldm to Turkey? Ings.. Origi to Soton? Karius to the Bell & Hare ?I can still see them spending even more money before the TW ends.
Just my take.
