Can't say I've ever heard of Liverpools latest big money signing. His stats look pretty good without being outstanding and he's in the Brazil team.
Brazilian players always seem like a big risk in the EPL.....few have ever really lived up to their billing / fees. Fermino is young enough at 23 to be able to adapt.
Interesting to see LFC willing to splash out £29m when they already have strikers Lambert, Balotelli, Sturridge, Borini and Ings on their books, but I guess this just makes it more likely that Sterling will be going.
Although this is probably buying with the Sterling money, it does make me a bit impatient about Spurs progress in the transfer window. This deal came out of nowhere really. I hope we get pleasantly surprised in the coming weeks with some quality reinforcements.
Fermin-who ?

transfers are a lottery and dependent on the state of your club as to who you can get.
I don't think slowing down on signings helps you any, it just drags it out longer.

So to review, Liverpool spent £100million and should be challenging for the league

Clubs are not obliged to say what they paid for a player are they. I imagine that all contracts have non disclosure built in so unless a team sticks it on their web site we only have 'Believed to be' to go on. Depending on who you listen to the likes of Bobby Soldado only cost £16m (only???) as the rest was made up of appearance lolly and what-ifs like CL qualification or winning silverware...

Exactly, this deal is apparently the same:
£21m upfront with a potential £8m in various clauses (according to sky sports).
Got no idea what the clauses are.
