If as seems Ki-Jana Hoever is going in the opposite direction for circa £10m why wasn't he included in a potential deal for Jota, do the two clubs in question just love doing paperwork?

Great signing for depth and versatility. I don't think he has the quality to be a long term replacement for Mane or Salah though.
I don't think we've let anyone go? FSG wanted to but backed down from that.
I wish. They pay us bucket loads for absolute garbage.
Buy for 14M Euros, sell for £35M... its what Wolves do and why Mendes is there.
He is only 23, plenty of time to develop and can play right across the front line.
No problem Mr Grumpy.
Looking like a strong window
I like him a lot as a player but I haven't seen much so far to indicate that he has that elite ceiling Liverpool probably want in a Mane/Salah replacement. But I certainly could be wrong. I do think there is a possibility that the Wolves tactical system has constrained his ability to express his talent somewhat and that he could break out significantly when put into a more attacking setup and surrounded by better players.
I thought klopp hated spending on new players.
Feels like Liverpool played Bayern. Only had to pay €5m up front for Thiago, presumably dragging their heels as funds are apparently very tight, then instantly moved for Jota for an even bigger overall fee.
That's my point...
I get the impression wolves have a deal with mendes. He gets them great talent for a good price and if a bigger club comes in they sell for a reasonable amount.
Just an impression? Mendes has a financial interest in the company that owns Wolves.
Good player, good signing
I like him a lot. I'm surprised he's going for such small money, but Liverpool have got a superb squad player there for their attacking depth. And Thiago. Very impressive.
And it seems they kept things under wraps.

Definitely - some reports have Werner on over £300k/week
There'll be a financial incentive for both teams to make it two separate deals.
IMO we are now seeing part of Liverpool's well thought out strategy to act as paupers and get players on cheap. Credit to them. Totally opposite to our Ed "we can do things other clubs can only dream of" Woodward.
Whilst they are going to pay the 20m for Thiago spread over the duration of his 4 year contract i.e. 5m a year whilst Utd are being asked to pay nearly all of the fee up front for Sancho. Utd were also forced to pay Maguire and AWB fees big chunk up front too.

Already fed up with this season.
Wanted Jota before we got Ighalo, now the dippers have bagged him and Thiago for what, 40 mil upfront?

Absolutely this. Amazing how quickly it’s been largely forgotten that Liverpool tried this on.
Ultimately no one really cares so bringing it up now means little. At the end of the day they are incredibly well run and it’s sickening.
Best signing since the PL started.
Who
I think he's making a mistake. He's not getting ahead of that front three.
Yeah, you’re right. It’s merely yet more evidence of the moral cess-pit that modern football resides in.
Oh yeah of course he does, knew I had that in my head for a reason. So yeah, mendes does the club a favour and then they do the player one.
Yeah there'll be some good reason, just seems strange on the outside not knowing the facts.
Great. Podence going into my fantasy league team then!
feck!! Quality player
Are Wolves making any signing to replace him?
Jorge will check his little black book.
They will definitely go for Alex Telles now I'd imagine
We really are run by some jokers, would have been a good option for us and we here wasting time on Ighalo.

35m is way too much for him. They just got lucky with Thiago but bar that they are actually shopping cheaper options.
Not a single day goes by where I see evidence just how inept our club is.
Good signing. Cant see where he would have fitted in for us but he'll bench Firminho before Christmas.
Saying that, its like 60 games by then

I'd take Jota at 35million over Dan James
He was an important player for Wolves last season. £35m seems like a bargain.
Ok?
