I think it might have been someone on here that said Jota would be a better signing from Wolves than Neves and then I watched him next time I watched Wolves play and he was quite good.

Might have been someone else though.  f*** knows.

Anyway, for the club to spend 40m quid when we're teetering on the verge of insolvency, he can't be s***e.

I prefer this thread over the other thread.  Good title, Gethin.  Let's merge them and keep this title.

Quote

He has the speed, he can combine, can defend, can press. It makes it just more unpredictable and gives us real options for different systems because he can play pretty much all three positions up front in a 4-3-3, if we play with four midfielders he can play both wings.

Quote from Jurgen - wonder if that's a hint at an alternative system for this year

Give Michael Edwards a statue. Some of the deals he has pulled off over the past few years have been mind-blowing.

Welcome Jota, I will struggle to remember your first name isn’t Diego. 

What a mad 2 days. Glad we remembered we’re rich.

You think £45mil for this kid is “mind-blowing”. Actually, yeah maybe.

No...

Jürgen Klopp sold 46 players for £380,550,000

Jürgen Klopp bought 26 players for £508,150,000

Turning us from mid table mediocrity into English, European and World Champions. Compare the two squads from when he arrived to today. It's night and day and what he has pulled off transfer wise is unbelieveable. Our squad now is amazing. 

Still I expect more sales to be happening so that top number will be over 400 million. We've gone from also rans to one of the best teams in the World spending around 100 million quid on transfers.

Good point tbf. Obviously I want him to be spectacular but if he's a better Shaqiri then great. I know he's a different player to Shaqiri but I mean squad function

[Eiler99]

Don't know a lot about him but have seen him compared to Bellamy quite a bit today and I liked Bellamy.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

hahahahaha - that's skillz

[D.Boon]

I know next to nothing about him. 

[muleskinner]

One of the lads needs to get him into their barbers. Other than that I'm delighted.

[Stanley Leisure]

Comments from Wolves fans under this are nice. Clearly a lot of love for him there.

That said, I hope he makes them f*cking miserable by being brilliant for us, I still haven’t forgiven them for the last day of 18/19, the bog-brained s***ehawks.

Really enjoyed them going out of the Europa. Only downside is that they weren’t there to see it.

Nerds replying “we’ll look after him at Liverpool” make me sick too.

f***ing nerds.

Haha, how will you look after him lads?  On a day to day basis, what will you do?

“What if he gets sick, LFC4eva999? How will you comfort him if his dog perishes?”

It was a monumental, epic show of  needlessly snide dullardness. I will never, ever forgive them for it.
