Chocolate Teapot Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 (edited) Wolves selling jota seems a strange move. Always thought he's one of their best players. Seems like its a done deal.

goose2010 Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 Odd I thought Wolves would lose Troare over anyone this season. Weakens them which is good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopfkino Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 I think Jota's a bit inconsistent and 35m seems a reasonable price for Wolves to get given he's not a guaranteed starter. I wait to see what Wolves spend it on. Again they're supposedly in for an 18 year old from Liverpool who has hardly played a game of football. I'd get taking the risk of signing a bunch of promising youngsters with great potential if it was to supplement a squad with quality depth, but these kids are signing to be the depth.

Stevosevic Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 (edited) For all those wondering why our rivals never sell players to the big boys.... Edited 18 September 2020 by Stevosevic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry96 Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 Yh 35is a good fee because they do have good options on the wing already Neto Traore and Podence are all good options. And now they have signed Fabio silva for a club record fee I’m sure nuno will be looking to give him some game time too up front with jiminez in a 3-5-2.

RumbleFox Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 Could potentially be the best player in the league. Could also potentially be a massive crapper. He’s quality though and will be good to see him back on the prem. I think people are forgetting just how good he can be. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Manini Posted 18 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 18 September 2020 I’d genuinely not heard of Michael Edwards until about 3 days ago, who is now being hailed as a genius by liverpool fans for the signings he’s making.... Its mad how all the best players want to go and play for one of the richest clubs in the world, current champions of England and under one of the best managers in the world isn’t it? I truly don’t know how Michael Edwards does it. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a story in the Athletic about Jota and how this was going to be his breakout season, having shown great potential the previous season with his expected goals in double figures. It's been suggested that Liverpool are taking much more of a "Moneyball" approach so perhaps this is one of those transfers that looks strange but statistically makes sense.

It'll be sad to see him go as he's been brilliant for us and scored some great goals. Suspicions were raised when he travelled for the Carabao Cup game last night but left before kick off. Nuno just kept saying "he wasn't available". As mentioned his inconsistency has been his failing last season, and he can be very streaky with his goals. Plus he's a hit it first time instinct finisher and his general play if he isn't scoring can be poor with his decision making and finishing. The fee is probably a little low, but I guess that is part and parcel of the Mendes stuff and how we were able to get him in the first place. We are well set in the wide positions though with Podence, Neto and Traore. We have to replace his goals from somewhere. We've been repeatedly linked with winger Pepe from Gremio this window too.

He definitely underperformed his xG last season. He's a great instinct finisher but struggles if he has too much time to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 £35m for Jota seems low to me, selling domestically i'd have thought it would have been a bit more than that. Unplayable on his day but I'm surprised Liverpool haven't gone for someone a little more consistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 Well he isn't going to be starting regularly, which kind of makes it an odd signing. He's often needed a few games to get going and into any sort of form for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
