Pizy 19,378 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 That's a fuck load of money for Jota, wow. For a squad player. He wasn't even one of Wolves' best 5 players! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea_4_eva 1,186 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 So Jota for £45m or activate Werners clause at £49m? I know which one I would choose £45m is hefty for a squad player.. makes me so much happier we got ziyech at the price we got him.

NikkiCFC 8,529 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 We guaranteed starting place. I think this is the reason why he chose us. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes Bosingwa look like an unstoppable wall defensively. I'd have been a lot more worried had they nabbed Grimaldo (who was my LB preference).

He has brilliant dribbling ability, balance, versatile, scores goals and is only 23. The move has come out of no where really but I have rated him highly. It is just a real surprise that they did not go in for Werner... most likely down to wages but Werner is top class so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate him too, but if you would've asked me what I figured he'd go for I'd have said ~£25m. If someone had bought him for that earlier this summer I would think to myself "yeah, that price sounds about right." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IF some consider him as overpriced I would still do it if the guys going to be great or the team. Every player we buy is a risk in one way or another. Just like gambling. Pays yer money and takes yer chance. Just that we remember our failures often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a news saying that it was 40 m in instalments, only around 5 m for first year or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 https://theathletic.com/2070370/2020/09/18/thiago-joins-liverpool-how-the-deal-happened/?source=user_shared_article Summary: "Thiago Alcantara was close to signing a lucrative new four-year contract with Bayern Munich in June, worth around £12 million per year (£230,000 per week), when his head was turned. A source with experience of working with Thiago says: “He is a top guy and one of the most professional players in this world. As for Liverpool, it’s a dream come true for him. The dream for him for years has been the Premier League." A four-year deal worth around £200,000 per week was already in place by Thursday. His favoured No 6 shirt was conveniently vacant following Dejan Lovren’s move to Zenit St Petersburg in July. Klopp had secured the services of a man he regards as “a game-changer”. The manager had pushed hard for the deal to get done and ultimately FSG president Mike Gordon and Edwards delivered. The breakdown of the fee is extraordinary given the calibre of the player Liverpool have signed. They will pay a guaranteed £20 million with the rest to potentially follow in add-ons related to team success and individual awards. However, The Athletic understands that £20 million will be spread over the course of Thiago’s contract, with an initial outlay of just £5 million. Put into context, Edwards sold striker Dominic Solanke to Bournemouth for £19 million last year. Thiago had also been linked with Manchester United this summer but although they held discussions with his representatives there were no direct talks with Bayern. He had been pursued by both Arsenal and Chelsea in recent years, too. Bayern put feelers out to those two clubs once again in the hope of creating a bidding war with Liverpool, but it never developed. Sources indicate that other potential suitors were quoted salary demands of £17 million a year (£327,000 per week). Barcelona did consider re-signing him, but swapping Arthur for Juventus’ Miralem Pjanic was deemed a more sensible financial decision."
