What's Hoever's best position? If he's only going to get in at right back it probably makes sense for us to let him go. If it's CB, it's dead hard bringing in a young centre back to the team too

If it's CB, it's dead hard bringing in a young centre back to the team too From anytime I have seen him play its always down the wing and never in the middle. I don't think its a bad deal in all honesty as there are options like Neco who is still rough around the edges.

Cicero Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 Still very young too. Would be a good addition.
LFCMike Posted September 18, 2020 Author Posted September 18, 2020 Talks between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers are at an advanced stage and the fee for the 23-year-old Portugal forward is expected to be more than £35 million.

I like the idea of signing Diego Jota though.

The Artful Dodger Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 That Hoever has serious potential doesn’t he? Surely just pay the money for Jota.

He was more highly rated last season compared to this season. Fell behind in the pecking order to Neco Williams. And our starting right back ahead of Williams is also very young. Probably no easy pathway into our first team for him. Better for him in the long run to go to a club like Wolves that are ambitious, still a good place for him to play and learn. And they just sold a right back, didn’t they? So there’s less competition and more chance for him to actually play. And it keeps the cash outflow down for us but gets us some quality attacking depth. Seems pretty win win.
Machado Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 He'll fit right in. Klopp's type of forward.
Rick Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 I don’t think there’s a lot between Hoever and Williams. Hoever probably more solid defensively, but Klopp fancies Neco Williams as back up so it’s probably best to move Hoever on. And to get 10m for him is decent. Would like so see a good sell on clause in that deal.
Rick Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 This one is completely out of left field, but I am very excited. Jota is a class player, and the way we play he would slot right in. Chuffed at this business and I’m eating a bit plate full of humble pie right now.
Dr. Gonzo Posted September 18, 2020 Posted September 18, 2020 That is a lot of money that I didn’t think we were going to spend this summer

He lacked consistency at Wolves reading their opinions on him. Considering he's unlikely to get regular time with that front 3 I wonder if that'll change? Only ever so slightly cheaper than Werner but the difference in 2 players would be their playing time no doubt. Probably found a player to be comfortable as a squad player/back up to the front 3 but given his age as well he's ready to go straight in should any of the front 3 leave at any point in the future...

One big difference with the Werner fee is how it’s structured. which is more palatable to us than the higher amount of money up front and wages for Werner (who, obviously I would prefer as a 4th choice attacker). Looking at his stats at Wolves compared to Mane’s at Southampton before he joined us is... pretty interesting reading. We saw Mane improve a lot under Klopp, and I’ve thought Jota is a player who’d fit us well. I’m pretty excited about this. It’s a bit closer to the quality of the starters in the front 3.
The Artful Dodger Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Fee seems hefty considering they were baulking at 50million for a superior Werner? Decent player though, thought he’d get a big move sooner or later.
Rick Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Werner wanted 250k a week, this guy is probably on 100k or thereabouts. Plus the payment structure is brilliant. I can see the logics in this signing.
