Fellow insomniacs and pissheads I’ve found a Wolves forum. About to dive in and see what they say about him.

Admittedly I only browsed, but they seem a fairly civil bunch, and pretty level headed about it. A far cry from the venom of Saints fans.

Pleased with this signing (assuming it happens, of course), as he's a very good player: fast, skillful, aggressive, etc. He's got a bit of nous, as well.

 

I didn't realize he was only 23, which makes it an even better signing.

some nerd on twitter has some stats comparison going on - apparently jota's stats are very close to sadio's at southampton

A good compilation this. He’s very skilful. Don’t know why I never really noticed him before.

 

 

Probably because he doesn't remotely play like this every game. He's basically Shaqiri levels of inconsistent, with a chasm between his best and worst performances. The advantages over Shaqiri are age and he's a lot quicker (although he obviously doesn't have near the pedigree Shaqiri has had)

Looks like a proper spreadsheet analytics based signing by Edwards.

Werner wouldn't want to be on the bench i imagine, there was talk that Klopp had a conversation with him about it, maybe this guy has no problem playing second fiddle to the front three.

 

Also, neither Mane or Salah were expected to be anywhere near as good as they are for us. Klopp doesn't buy players he makes them.

 

Manufactured not Bought, sounds eerily familiar.

This is basically to a tee what Saints fans used to say about Mane. Not only that, the inconsistency shouts always baffle me. Like he played for Wolves, maybe the 7th best team in the league, if I'm being generous. Did their supporters really expect him to be great every game? He scored 18, 10 and 16 goals. Were they expecting 20's and 30's? It's not like he's getting service from the likes of Messi. He's playing for fucking Wolves, ffs. 

It’s also what a lot of our fans say about Salah!

Hmmm..

From the Wolves forum:

 

«I like Jota but he is extremely inconsistent, and has some poor finishing and decision making. The game last season where he missed a fairly easy chance but then scored a great goal was a good summary. Or he'll have the most awful game you can imagine and then score a hat-trick next game.

On his day he's unplayable, but 9/10 you'll get him running into blind alleys.

He is a good player and has done a lot for us, but isn't a top player. One of the players I would say we need to upgrade on if we want to kick on.»

Sounds a lot like what fans were saying about Mane at Southampton. That turned out ok didnt it?

Damn. Somebody already pointed this out.

Diogo Jota under Klopp is a more exciting prospect than Jadon Sancho under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. 

Elite Managers make Elite Players. PE teachers make PE students.

 

This guy has a point 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Not a player thats ever been on my radar so I'm hugely underwhelmed and he can join the list alongside the like of Mane, Salah, Robertson, Milner, Henderson, Gini of players I thought we should of been aiming higher than.

[El Dangerous]

Joins a ever growing list of ‘second choice’ players who will turn out to be better than the original targets. Mane instead of Gotze, Salah instead of Brandt, Bobby if only we signed BenFUCKINGteke. Was it Gini instead of Dahoud as well?

Reckon we might be paying a slight premium due to wolves accepting our terms on how the fee is spread out. 

 

We seem to be one of very few elite clubs that have not taken out a massive loan to help cash flow through this pandemic. With fans nowhere near the stadiums anytime soon just seems its worth paying a few million more to not strain finances now

£9m this summer for Thiago & Jota. Insane.
