Brilliant news!

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Like a new signing; great leaning game.

 

[Supremolad]

Judging from the theory presented before Salah signed, I wonder if Jota asked for 300k a week seeing as Salah is now on 350k.

Love the twisted symmetry of the situation with Timo Werner, the sure thing player 'we missed out on' now being potentially hawked back to Germany, while the player we did sign, Jota, has now been rewarded with a new contract because of his efforts over the past 2 seasons. He stepped up when Mo and Sadio were at AFCON last season, and 21 goals in all competitions is a great return for a player who started the season as 4th choice striker.

 

Football recruitment is not for everyone, is it?

It's almost as though Klopp knows better than us.

 

Put your faith in Klopp, your ass belongs to me.

Klopp wanted to sign Werner, though. That's actually the best part; often with Klopp, it doesn't even matter who we sign, he will make sure it works out, as long as they have qualities he can work with.

I was gutted when we didn't get Werner. I'm not now.

When is he back?

I'm leaving toward this way of thinking too.

 

Gotze, Brand, Fekir. He would have made them all work here.

[Code]

When is he supposed to return?

We miss him badly. 

[Strontium]

They'll all be back when there's nothing to play for. They always are.

As far as I am aware he’s not even training 

[an tha]

He has had no pre season either - will be a while yet before he is at it.

 

Even if he was 'fit' tomorrow - it would still be a while before he was properly at it.

How long before he's more effective than Firmino? 

 

I'm going with about three weeks ago.

Sad to see how bad Bobby has become. He’s not even that old I don’t think. Completely done

He's no more than 30 I think. Mad how badly he's regressed

I think he bought into the 'Bobby' hype years ago and forgot that he has to train properly and play football to a high standard.  

[3 Stacks]

Firmino's run too much and doesn't have the physical edge anymore. He's not quick or strong enough anymore to get shots off in the Premier League. Lacazette was the same for Arsenal last season.  Not sure he has a shot on target this season. 

[Funkasy]

Firmino could stop running back to our center backs, only to do a one two and then run forward again, what a strange  way to use your energy when there are 3 other midfielders and two wing backs they can pass to. 

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Bobby should honestly have fucked off to Spain two years ago as he would still have been able to rack up 10-20 G/A as a supporting striker somewhere. He has been a complete non-entity of an option for us since 2020, we've just been pissing his wages down the drain, just like we did with Studge for his last two years with us.

 

It's really unfathomable that he's our starting striker in 2022. He will barely get a look in once Jota is back but will probably still feature before then because we spent 65m on a player we are too scared to rely on.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

With Jota, I think he's still some way off being back. I think he'll still be out for 3-4 more weeks.

 

He's had a hamstring issue since June (??), that'll mean he's missed around 3-4 months of football. I think it's naive to expect him to get thrown in straight away even when he does return.

He's never recovered from that injury he got prior to the 19 CL final. He's been mostly shite with the odd flash of the old Bobby since. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Let's not all hang our hopes on Jota either. He can be absolutely shite in games too.
