So this would be L’pool Football Club that won’t back the manager/ have no money/ buy-to-sell/ have no chance this season etc ad nauseam. As the rhetoric goes from those with a petty, ridiculous and totally ill-founded and wrong agenda.
Or to the rational among our number, that would be Liverpool Football Club that’s NEVER been in better hands with Fenway.
I’m actually more stoked about Jota than I was Thiago. (Who’s the best in the World in his position bar none.). As we mooted last night, opens up SO many more options, not least the next evolution of this side into more of a base 4-2-3-1. Where you could well play the front three and Diogo at the same time. Say he and Sadio wide coming in, Mo up top and Bobby in behind doing Bobby things like he does regardless. Add in Thiago’s vision behind that wherever you want to play him, and the rest of the leagues collective heart has just sunk knowing the team that were already LEVELS above them all has just moved even further away into the distance.
And what another stupendous deal from the football club. Only £ 4.1 million of that guaranteed £41 million having to be paid over the next 12 months. Which on top of only having to pay Bayern £5 million over the same period, is a dream scenario in these COVID uncertain times.
You then throw in Hoever and the 15% sell-on ..... As sorry as I am to see Ki leave, that’s outstanding business in itself to get that sizeable initial fee for an 18-year-old with next to no experience. (A nigh on £15 million profit for a mere 2 years or so coaching put into him.). And then 15% of any future sale for a footballer with a big future who could well be a £40/50 million player if he fulfils his tremendous natural ability and expected potential.
Shame to see Hoever leave. But Neco had well supplanted him as the de facto RB challenge/ cover to Trent. And we have a whole host of other super promising defenders in the Academy ranks right now to not really feel losing one.
All in all, to flip Ki for Jota is a complete no-brainier for me.
To do it on such a superb double deal is just awesome.
Adding Wolves best player 3 of the last 4 seasons. Along with the best deep lying midfield playmaker in World football? To what was already the best squad in the Country? *Salivating!!!!!
On and off the pitch, Liverpool Football Club is in the RIGHT hands!
Bring on the rent boys and the next step to #20!
