Yes I mean there is that. There's a few differences. I mean however good a player Thiago is, you wouldnt really put him into the same category as James, who is a cut above (which is meant as no disrespect to Thiago, but there are levels in football).

You'd also say, we are signing lads of that age because it's consistent with the manager we have and as a sign of weakness. They are- at least on the outside of it buying from a position of strength. So it's interesting they've gone down this route. You'd also have to factor that their squad is an ageing one already (top 6 for the oldest squads last season) and they don't have many in that 21-25 band coming through but lots in the 26-30 area (Alisson, VVD, Robertson, Matip, Salah, Henderson, Mane, Firmino, Wijnaldum, Fabinho etc, I'm sure I've missed a few!). He seems to add to it rather than take away from it.

You always know they pay big bonuses too. The delcared salary is often half what their salary comes too with bonuses, sometimes more so. You don't blow Chelsea and Manchetser City out of the water on wages if you're top player is only on 200k p/w. They incentivise them. In fairness it's a smart business staregy that has worked well for them. However expect Thiago's real wages with bonuses to be 400k p/w, which as you say is huge for a lad going well into his 30's, expected to play under a Klopp system in the PL.

 

Just thought I would post this little nugget of wisdom here for you to enjoy

I like deluded rival fans when we win stuff, it's comical, but this is actually a bit infuriating. Thiago won the Champions League last season playing brilliant football. Meanwhile James was rotting in the reserves. Like this isn't even funny, it's so wrong, it's just sad.

 

James is a shot in the dark that might work, Thiago is a world class player.

She's a nobhead, but at least she's more entertaining and less actively harmful than GOT's most persistent nobheads.

Got a family member working with disabled people regarding grants. An old woman needed a reclining chair, the council queried the request and it is ongoing.

Another client suffers with depression and so her husband can get some time away from her the council for the last five years have been paying for a season ticket at Goodison. Priorities.

[Anubis]

Isn’t that just sending him from one person with depression to thirty thousand of them?

As did Carlo.

Reading them downplay the Thiago signing is beautiful. Proper toppling over the cliff edge of insanity. 

[Harry Squatter]

If we signed Messi of a few years ago on a free and didn't break our pay structure they would still probably say Hamez is the better player and that is the better deal. 

 

Then get up into the loft to find their Messi scarves and set fire to them.

I was just about to post something also suitably sarcastic. 
 

We’ve signed a player who was just MOTM in the CL Final, they’ve signed somebody who has been MIA for 5/6 years.

Basically on planet blueshite they just shift the goalposts to suit whatever agenda they have that day and completely ignore what they've said or done before.

I genuinely can't recall a thing Hamez has done in the last six years, even before that volley in the world cup there's not exactly a long show reel of world class moments. 

 

When he bounced between Porto, Monaco and then Real he was classed as a great player without doing anything amazing. As soon as he signed for Real Madrid and then got shifted off to Bayern he seems to have either been injured or missing in games for that long the managers gave up on him. 

 

Yet all of a sudden he's going to take the piss out of the Premier League despite it being a much more physical league than any of the ones he's played in and that he isnt that durable.

Why on Earth would you find this infuriating? It's the twisted, deluded opinion of an absolute no-mark blert. His views among the sheep he bleats to on GOT may have some weight, but to anyone else, the only reasonable reaction is to laugh your bollocks off, not to get wound up in the slightest.
