Diogo Jota

[Fussball13251]

We should have signed him and Neves. He was drawn deeper at Wolves. He's more in the opponents half at Pool. That makes a difference that you're more in the opponents half now.

We should still look to sign Neves

Out for 2 months apparently.

 

[Klopper76]

Of course he is. That’s how it goes this season.

 

[Dumbstar]

Crazy season. VAR AND injuries. Not or.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Of course he is. That’s how it goes this season.

everything went for Liverpool last year. So perhaps things even themselves out, just over two seasons, not one.

We lost several players to lengthy injuries last year including Alisson & Fabinho. This year is ridiculous though.

 

[Cutch]

Why was Jota playing a meaningless game the other night given Jurgens concerns about fixture pile ups and not gettin 5 subs?

 

[charlenefan]

Of course he is. That’s how it goes this season.

As if it matters to your lot, you're defying everything this season. Cnuts

 

[dwd]

Des from BT gone in two-footed again?

 

[Bastian]

Said it at the time, and now it's looking even more crazy, that deal was strange as feck. Paltry sum given his ability and proven league quality, not even paid up front, and no competition for it.

What a deal.

 

[Judas]

Berry berry shrew business.

 

[Cheech Wizard]

Reminds me of Robbie Fowler playing for us.

I don’t know if we could get as great a deal but Raphinha would be a similar sort of deal if we could get him. Same age, same sort of level Jota was playing at for Wolves last season.

 

[kidbob]

Neto will have a similar trajectory when he joins a top club I reckon.

 

[Feed Me]

7/10?

Does Jota enjoy a certain blend of the Columbian too?

 

[marktan]

Klopp playing him in a meaningless fixture in the CL and him subsequently getting injured has fecked their season.

 

[TheLiverBird]

Does Jota enjoy a certain blend of the Columbian too?

Who doesn’t??

 

[Sylar]

They've missed him badly

Getting him just in time to get top4 and their cl games

 

[Cheech Wizard]

7/10?

I'd take that every game if we got 94-97' Fowler levels out of him.

Difference is Jota doesn't choke at international level

 

[Adam-Utd]

Same here, would absolutely love Raphinha.

Even when at Wolves Jota was more of a goal getting than either of them

What was wrong with Fowler's international career? It's not comparable with Jota's who hardly got any strikers ahead of him at Portugal.

He was shite

 

[Cheech Wizard]

He was shite

ok or just England were shite.

We had Shearer, Sheringham, Ferdinand, Cole etc vying for places and later Owen coming through, by then he had a knee injury which ruled him out of WC 98 and in euro 2000 he was in the squad but didn't play because England went out in the group. Can't fault him for that.

 

[bakalhau]

Looks like we might not be going back to below average strikers after CR is gone from the national team after all.

What did you think of Nuno Gomes?

 

[Vidyoyo]

Better yet, what did you think of Eder? One of the best centre forwards of his (or any) generation surely.

 

[laughtersassassin]

They're a club who knows how to make good signings that's for sure.

Hired the right people in their transfer committee.

 

[Ali Dia]

Super player.

 

[bakalhau]

For everyone asking me, Portugal had a rough patch in terms of strikers for a few years, not in the Pauleta/Nuno Gomes era. A bit after.

For a period, in Portugal we'd moan the most about not having a striker on par with the rest of the team's level. We would just have subpar strikers in comparison to other field positions.

Nuno Gomes, well, that's my actual name too, so I liked him obviously he was good, and more so with his back against the goal. Eder is a god.

Still, I think Jota can reach a level above our nation's top strikers of the last 15 years, CR not included.

Yes Keita has been an absolute gem at £60m

Been absolutely carrying Portugal of late. I wasn't sure he'd kick on to the extent he has but he's gone up a couple levels this year.

 

[The Serb]

Keitas a great player but his injury record is dreadful. Still, for every 1 dud they end up with they seem to get 5 class players. Unfortunately their recruitment is top notch but not only that so is their coaching team in making them go up another level.

Do you think Pedro Neto can reach that level?

The type of business that as a club, we're galaxies away from making.

With Jota, Felix, Bruno, Silva, and of course Ronaldo, it seems Portugal finally had a good attacking unit to challenge for trophies?

Ronaldo - GOAT, all time best goalscorer, already scored 31 goals this season, but he's 36 though
Bruno - one of the best and most impactful AM in the world
Felix - one of the most talented and exciting youngster in the world
Jota - reliable striker, in a good goalscoring form this season (8 goals in 13 PL games)
Silva - classy attacking midfielder, his form drops abit in recent years though

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Bloody hell how do Livepool manage this. These aren't even hidden gems. The guy was playing in the Pl for years and you'd think scouts from other clubs would have seen his potential. I mean, I didn't but I'd have expected them to.
