Jota fee agreed now, 41m+4m add-ons apparently.

How much will he play though?

There’s something not right about this, I wonder if Mane might be going to Barca because they don’t usually spend 45 million on back ups. Surely the Coutinho money has run out.

There saying it's the Brewster money now ..

Jota is a weird player. I've watched games where he plays like a world beater and then a bunch of games where he plays like a Championship player.
Bit of a punt for Liverpool, who knows how good he will turn out. But it is still a good addition to squad even if he ends up mainly being a bench option.

Jota is a Tevez type player, none stop, really good buy if they get him.

Unfortunately, they’re building the compete team there. The one I thought they needed most was a deep lying playmaker and they signed Thiago. Now Jota for more depth up front and I think they should be disappointed if they don’t achieve a Prem and CL double.

I feel like we built a compete side in 2017 but it only lasted two years and the general quality of our squad has just dropped off as we’re losing our superstars but aren’t replacing them with as good a quality.

Another good buy for Liverpool, both them and Chelsea are having a good transfer window

How the fuck would I know him?

I assume GDM does....... ;-)

That was similar to my thought.
I've seen Wijnaldum to Barcelona suggested which wouldn't be like-for-like

 

[Tb1981]

Why pay that for jota?
They should have just paid the extra for Timo Werner

 

[Toffeedude]

45 Mill Jota? He now moves from 10 goals a season to greatest striker on the planet

20-25 Mill Thiago

Good job they are not like other clubs who spend money

Everton have spent less on 3 midfielders than they have on those two, yet the press call us free spending? Strange old world

 

[Toffeedude]

Are they still wearing their homemade 'winners medals'?

And they feel no shame doing it.

Imagine if that was you and your club tried to flog you one... you would die laughing

 

[Toffeedude]

Don't laugh at him. The poor guy needs help

I couldn't possibly comment.

Wijnaldum replaced with Alcantara
Mane replaced with Jota

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Wijnaldum replaced with Alcantara
Mane replaced with Jota

I'd thought of that. I reckon their fans might be annoyed if Mane goes, and everybody else's fans will be happy!

Mane isn’t going anywhere. If Jota was to replace anybody, it would be Origi. And Wijnaldum looks to be staying now, looks like plenty of rotation on the menu.

Not as much as we laughed (and still do) when a club bought out a commemorative DVD about the time they nearly qualified for the Champions League. Have they upgraded it to Blu Ray now?
