Have to say that's a good addition. Sensible signings so far.

Really good signing for Liverpool at that money, pretty incredible deal for them considering the usual fees going around for big players.

Sky reporting it as well. Very strange from all angles - £10 million for someone who is 18 and played four games? Is Jota any better than Rhian Brewster is?

Exasperated, not angry.

I guess Trent and Neco will be right back for the next decade then. I had high hopes for Hoever but Jota is a proven player and we need someone better than Divock as backup, much as I love the big lummox.

Sorry, I was talking about Hoever and should have made that clear.

Liverpool agree £41m deal for Diogo Jota after landing Thiago Alcântara
Diogo Jota will soon become a Liverpool player after the club reached an agreement with Wolves to sign the Portuguese forward for £41m having also completed the transfer of Thiago Alcântara from Bayern Munich
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
I know Jota is rated, but £41m seems a lot.
Think it is partly down to the installments
first years payment offset almost fully by Hoever, who also has a 15% sell on clause. No doubt personal terms and salary are a factor as well.

It does, but he's been an excellent foil for Jimenez at Wolves. I'm quietly confident he'll do well with the help of The Boss and in a free-scoring team.

I like this way of doing business. No tapping up, no arguments, no leaks to the press...just boom! Welcome to Anfield

Best thing we ever did was hire peter Moore. I know he left last month but billy hogan was groomed to do the job the same way from internal, and looks like that is indeed what’s happening.
Seems light years away from the Ian ayre days of drag a transfer out over the whole summer and air all the dirty laundry in the press.

Numbers
an ting!
Proven solid multiple competition winner for £20 million. Jota £40 million+ - football eh.

It's mostly Michael Edwards that's handling transfers, Peter Moore (and his replacement) handle the commercial side.
That said they both played/playing blinders in all aspects of the club.
On the Jota front, I think it's a combination of the 'Premier League Tax', his agent being an 'advisor' to the Wolves board, and will make a huge financial gain because of that, and that that Jota is 23 or something - there are apparently stats going round, things such as xG and stuff (that I don't really understand), which are most identical to the numbers of Mane when he joined, so I wonder if that played a part.
