Portuguese Jota forward 23 yo.

So does it means Origi n Brewster gone.

very good business by Edwards. however a little sad to see KJH go, i hope we have a buy back clause for him.

welcome Thiago

Gather, Liverpool and Wolves have agreed a fee of £41m rising to £45m for Diogo Jota.
In a separate deal, Ki-Jana Hoever is valued at £9m plus £4.5m in add ons to move from Liverpool to Wolves.

My my, FSG/Edwards/Klopp actually been busy behind the scenes all this while

Not sure whether Jota is really worth that much but I guess age factor(he is 23) counts, also his wages probably much lower than what Werner is getting at Chelsea, payment plan also well crafted by Edwards. Plus Jota definitely looks better than Ismaila Sarr(another attack player we were also apparently linked with).

Hoever moving on is a pity, but the price is very good all things considered, especially since we bought him for a pittance and he is still only 18years old. Agreed, hope we have a buy back clause though.

I guess this means bye bye to Origi. Nice guy, good player and scored some vital legendary goals for us. Unfortunately I don't think he is suited to our system of play but will be fondly remembered. Hope we get a really good price for him as well.

As for Brewster, interesting to see how Klopp deals with him. No doubt he is a goal poacher with a natural striker's instinct to score goals. Also he is still relatively very young. But does he fit into our system of play?

Anyways I am really buzzing after all this dramatic transfer news over the last 36hours plus, very exciting times ahead for us this season

Also gather Chelsea's new boys: Chilwell, Ziyech and Thiago(Silva not Alcantara) probably ain't playing against us on Sunday. So too Pulisic. Positive for us albeit it is still going to be a tough game. Hope our boys are up for it plus given an added lift with the arrival of new quality additions to our squad.

Come on you Reds

Michael Edwards deserves GOLD medal for shrewd business. Liverpool transfer was 5/10 increase to 9.5/10.

Brewster will be sold according to rumors. No short of suitors for his services.

Jamal Lewis was smokescreen for Kostas Tsimikas
Ismail Sarr was smokescreen for Diogo Jota,

Thiago Alcantara chose Liverpool and no chance MU.

[escobar43535]

Yes, yes, yes on all fronts but a qualification with respect to Brewster.

Not sure how the formula works but I gather we have got to keep to a minimum quota of English players in our squad under FA rules.

So if Brewster leaves, will we be short on this English players quota?

Brewster never included under the English quota since he came from academy. Any academy players can be selected to play in PL matches.

Liverpool have enough English in first team.

"The Premier League proposed a maximum of 17 non-"homegrown" players in each club squad, and the squad size is a maximum of 25. This means that in a full squad of 25 players, there must be at least eight homegrown players."

Getting Jota over Sarr could be due to the African Cup also coz can't imagine almost the entire frontline will be away for a few weeks. But Jota I'm still not convinced about him. Hopefully not another expensive flopp!

[Xgenre]

Apparently Thiago can play for us against Chelsea. His deal was announced on Friday but the paperwork has been done earlier. I am not very sure about the length of the Thiago deal. 4 years seems quite long for a player with high wages and turning 30 in April. Will look forward to see how he performs.

Buying Jota makes a lot of sense. He does not have to get used to the Premier League and he will be given time to learn our system.

I still think we can beat Chelsea 3-0 this weekend. When it is time to meet a top 6 opponent, our guys are extra fired up. The Premier League did a sudden last minute U turn. Now teams are only allowed 3 substitutions per game. Previously it was announced that 5 substitutions can be made each game. I don't seem how Frank Lampard can keep his new signings happy. Many of them will not make it to even sit on the bench at all.

My little liverbird tells me that Jota was bought as backup for Salah..... in case a big money offer comes in for Salah which FSG cannot resist (aka Coutinho). Apparently there had been a couple of enquiries for Salah which Liverpool are contemplating. According to Sir John Henry..... No One is Indispensible!...... if the price is right.

[LeeHsienLoong]

Many will understand Salah's mind is 50 50 just like Mane.
He does not need to leave but having said that if an offer comes in he will consider that.
We have Minamino and the signing of Jota is surely telling us something is happening.

[francined69]

a few key players (Pulisic, Ziyech, Thiago, Chilwell) missing for Chelsea according to Frank Lampard. hopefully Liverpool takes advantage of this situation early in the season. Timo Werner will probably take on TAA.

i do hope that our front 3 will remain for this season and become the "THE DREAM TEAM" for Liverpool FC. I don't think we have a better team setup than now.

Thanks for the information.

A question though, what exactly does "homegrown players" mean?

[ThisIsMelwood]

Diogo Jota new no 20.

Homegrown means players bought for academy and play for u18 or u21. Ki Jana Hoever is a homegrown sold to Wolves. He wanted to play regular game time.
