is he watching it?

Big fee for Jota. He’s good on his day but brings it about 5 games a season.

Not far off of Werners fee in the end.

Most Wolves fans seem to be pretty happy with it.

Thought Pool had no money for Thiago and suddenly they're splashing out on Jota?

"Lijnders used his contacts in Portuguese football & received glowing references about Jota's character. Wolves’ willingness to be flexible on payment terms was crucial. They have accepted less than 10% of the guaranteed figure in the next 12 months."

added to that is Thiago £5m a year x 4 years of contract

Brewster for 25mil should cover Thiago. Now we'll have to sell Hoever for 13.5mil, Wilson for 15-20mil and Grujic for 15-20mil to cover Jota.

Fair enough, that's surprising from Wolves to be so flexible to assist Liverpool. Jota was a big asset for them.

Thiago - Midfield bolstered -
Jota - Forwards bolstered -
Defense...tbc

Klopps sook worked.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Could be first of trades preparing themselves for Salah leaving.....smart

 

[strauchanie59]

Liverpool doing the classic Football Manager move of transfers in installments. Wonder if there's a 40% sell on fee...

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

TWO DONE DEALS..... ️ #lfc sign Diego Jota for £45m on a five-year contract. Initial fee of £41m rising to £45m. ️ Ki-Jana Hoever going in the opposite direction in a £13.5m deal. £9m guaranteed/£4.5m in add-ons. #lfc have negotiated 15% sell-on clause

Why do the US teams use names like Inter Miami, and Real Salt Lake? Is it just to try and be more genuine, or is there actual links?

IIRC Inter Milan tried to sue Inter Miami

 

[ADL9798]

Eventful 12 hours.

Inter is international so inter Miami isn't that bad. Bit cringey

Yeah crazy that Jota one came out of absolutely nowhere.

I told you this 3 days ago on the Man Utd thread & you just poo-pooed me, like the click-bait chump that you are......We don't need a left-back & they were just using our name to up the ante on his price.

Ole has a long-term plan & vision & will not panic buy.....Be told.

David Ornstein] Manchester United have held conversations over Porto left-back Alex Telles. Club sources say no agreement in place with FCPorto or the 27-year-old Brazil international but MUFC are continuing to monitor the situation

Bouhafsi] According to a source close to Porto, agreement reached between Alex #Telles and Manchester United. Agreement on a five-year contract. Manchester United will now discuss with Porto. PSG is also on the lookout. Paris is still considering this issue

Bloody clickbait

My guess is we’ve had all these deals lined up for a while and were waiting on a board meeting or something this week for the expenditure to be approved.

We’ve had a few deals come out of the clouds over the last few years. Usually we’re watertight at our end until the very last minute, and the early leaks come from the selling club or the player’s agent.

Maybe th3 sarr price was too high from Watford for they moved on to jota?

 

[RPCB]

Awesome! Let’s just give a contract to every footballer in Europe but not make a bid to the players club. Hell of a plan.

He has left himself no room to be wrong if United do buy a winger, if that’s what the rumour actually is.
