How is it we offered 29m pounds as suggested on most news, when Hoffenheim was happy with just 20m??

{Ed001's Note - to make sure the deal is done we offered more. We have a bad rep for messing people about, so this time we just went in and outbid the others before someone like United could step in.}

Good sign ed001?

{Ed001's Note - I think so, we wanted him so we went and got him.}

Made up with this signing tbh, makes sense as he adds goals to the midfield and is a very able substitute for the departing sterling.

Also pleased we are trying to rectify our reputation with other clubs, hopefully we will stick to this new way of working.

It's reported that there were '3rd party ownership "issues"' with Firmino which Liverpool have sorted out - could part of the additional £9M gone to sort these "issues" out??

{Ed001's Note - we would have had to buy out all parties.}
