Slight tangent here - I think earlier you had said about Thiago and Jota's wages - you'll probably have missed my reply because this thread has gotten almost as big as Aquilani's fast improvement - but from what I gather it's £90k a week for Jota and Thiago is joint top earner at £200k per week.
I'll always praise what look like shrewd financial purchases - and have done, tonight and other times.
Matip being out for the season (as opposed to a spell) does broadcast the recruitment differently though - no problem examining that and being open to analysing it through a critical lens. Didn't have that information up until 15 minutes or less ago to be fair.
Ah, gotcha. Can't remember the context within which we were discussing it, just remembered you'd passed comment, so relayed the relevant wages on.
In terms of fees, it was £27.3m for Thiago and £45m for Jota - the Jota deal is structured in such a way that we're paying over a longer period.
You see this is why I hate being a cynic and would much prefer to be like you - but most of us expected Matip out for the season.
Mate this is the point I have been making though - out for the season or not - he doesn’t make 1 game in 3 either way.
We need Fab back fit and in Midfield and Hendo back in Midfield - cause Ox could cut himself shaving and Keita...? Well he’d pull a muscle doing a warm up...
We nee Kabak and a Davies to come in ASAP - Phillips looked ok v West Ham but you think we need more v better oppo.
It is going to be a tough run to the end of the season.
Minamino loan until the end of the season. No option to buy.
Gonna put it out there, I reckon kabak will be what gomez is/was for us as in young lad who does decent and gets better, hopefully doesn't have some really nasty injury's like gomez
Maybe he'll be the player that gomez was meant to be.
we need some more youngsters in the side for the long-term plan, new youngish CM in the summer hopefully could even do with a couple, origi replacement perhaps if he wants to leave which I wouldn't blame him for, not sure if we'll go big for a CB if we have as many as we do now.. when all fit.. matip isn't going anywhere unless we terminate his contract highly doubtful especially now he's out all season
we don't really need that much in the summer, couple of fresh good youngsters will be good enough and sell the fringe players / injury crooks and we're laughing... obviously changes if one of the front 3 leaves
I don't see how Minamino wil ever fit in, you'd think Jota will always be ahead of him.. that's without replacing Origi too, not forgetting we have Elliot on loan I'm guessing he might go back on loan unless Klopp thinks he's good enough to take someones place.
