Other clubs' transfers

Thiago to Liverpool confirmed

 

PL title going to Anfield again then with that news.

 

I’m not convinced, could see them finishing 3rd this season. Man City will be hungry and could see Chelsea closing the gap.

So strange, weren't Liverpool put off by Werner because of the fee?

 

Then they pay this for Jota

 

That’s some smart dealing from Wolves

Hoever looked seriously good when I’ve seen him - will replace Doherty well in that team

Wage demands plus the way the payment is structured. We don't have a lot of money to pay upfront. In Werner's case, they wanted a majority of the payment upfront. With Jota, the payment is structured over multiple years with the first year payment being low. Same reason we were not able to purchase Jamal Lewis.

 

Not too keen on selling Hoever. I think he is a top talent and we may regret that sale.

Must say, I don't quite understand the Jota transfer, doesn't really make sense for either party IMO. Really good player, in fact way too good to sit on the bench,but hardly worth £40+m as a back up.

 

To be honest, I don't quite understand it either.  He is a very good player, don't get me wrong. But whatever little I watched of him, he seems to lack that extra bit of class and explosiveness which will take him to a Mane, Salah level in the future. Even with a favorable payment structure, that fee is a bit of a headscratcher.

 

Having said that, with the transfer committee, and Klopp, there is always a plan. With most players they have bought in the last few years, it is clear within 3-4 months, their role and how they are planning to be used, etc. He does fit the Klopp purchase profile - young, can play multiple positions, tenacious has the skill and an eye for goal. So curious to see how Jota develops.

More intensive season though, so more need to rotate.

 

Yup, it could just be that. We don't have the money for elite-level talents like Werner or Havertz this summer which was the original plan. So pad up the squad with good quality replacements from clubs who accept favorable payment structures.
