From what the people that have seen him play regularly are telling us we're getting a top half quality player who will suit what De Boer wants to achieve.
We've done little business so far but what we have done feels pleasing.
I've been banging the drum for us to go in for him since 2014. After Hulls promotion last year I accepted that ship had sailed.
I think Liverpool have a useful squad player here that will be of use to them for many years to come.
Do Arsenal fans think he's worth what they're allegedly going to pay him? Given his best bargaining tool was the Turkish league because no better club wanted him im surprised a club that are historically quite picky are lowering there guard on this one.

Well this club has completely lost its unique identity.
Jairo Riedewald has signed for eight million. The general feedback from those that know him is he's a top half Premiership player so for eight million it seems like good business.
We heard all this bollocks ten years ago in The Championship mate when Charlton came down. "Theyve got too much money, they can sign anybody, nobody will be able to compete soon enough" They haven't been back up since.
Championship fans have heard that drum beat for over fifthteen years and there's still not been a 23 team divide.
Other than Middlesborough who are about as good as they were two years ago the teams coming down are having to rebuild entirely. This league is completely open this year and there is an opportunity for teams to capitalise like Huddersfield did.
Given we've gone from being linked with Adil Rami, a defender with experience whose best days look behind him, to Davinson Sanchez, a young and expensive investment, makes me think the media haven't got a clue about what we're doing.
Southampton are interested allegedly. I can see this continuing throughout the majority of the summer due to Liverpools high asking price for a player they don't clearly want. I can't imagine any club in Europe will want to compete at that price.
