I am half in the yes camp, the unfortunate new reality is that we would be selling a good player to a champions league rival which is not ideal but it’s big money for a player with regular injuries.
Barcelona got Raphina way too easily, swapping Jota for someone like that would’ve been good business.

When we had Mane,Bobby,Salah and Origi, Four forwards seem to be enough, We now have Fabio,Elliot,Nunez,Daiz,Bobby Gakop,Jota, and Salah.
We are losing Bobby come the end of the season, Think we can afford to sell Jota to invest elsewhere.
At the mo' (no pun intented) If Jota finds his form again, I would soon keep him and sell Mo

I don't get the wishy washy yeah I'd think about it and then maaaaybe do it.
If someone offered us 60-70M for Jota I'd snap their hands off for it.
Great when fit and on form but Klopp likes a small squad and I'm tired of players that spend 1/3 of every season out injured.

Why - we have 4 without Jota?
He's the hardest working forward we have out of possession and we know he can score loads in a Klopp team. Strengthening Newcastle doesn't make sense at this time either.
I'd give him another 12 months, but next season is make or break from my POV. As others have said, we cannot continue to hoard players who are not resilient enough for what Klopp needs.

Problem is another season like this and we won’t get 60m
It's a smart move all round. He's a player that, when fit, will improve Newcastle and he's accessible to them because of his injury record with us.
I wouldn't consider selling him for a minute we're it not for the injuries - he's a top player and a proper shithouse, I wouldn't want to lose that, but when he's out of the side more often than not it makes sense to let him go, especially given the number of interchangeable forwards we have.
Although he'll probably haunt us every time we play the Geordies.

I’d be amazed if someone offered 60m now.
Maybe their conditioning and medical teams are up to the job. Ours certainly haven’t been these past two seasons.
This is my thought. He's great but if we can cash in to reinvest in other areas of the squad, we're fools not to. Can't afford to be sentimental even though I'll be sad for him to leave.
I’ve been saying we need to be ruthless for ages. If we get good money, replace him plus improve the squad then I’m all for selling him.
Would take 40m and even at 40m how much will we save in wages...?
Another season like this for him and how much would we get then..?? will be another Sturridge who rearly plays drawing on high wages and allowed to leave on a free a few years down the line.
Sell and re-invest
I haven’t really been following his injuries much, is there any sort of pattern to suggest he’s an Ox with a particular weakness or a sturridge where everything is weak?
Hopefully he doesn’t come across this thread because it’s reading like his Liverpool career obituary. He is genuinely something a bit different in terms of his directness, early shooting, hard /intelligent pressing and general opposition harassing qualities.
I do recall injury layoffs at wolves and we paid around£40m didn’t we? With that in mind and the fact Newcastle should be made to pay over the odds to land anyone decent, not sure getting our money back is a good enough deal.

That's the worry.
But if he stays injury free between now and this time next year could he find his form pre-injury?
