    It's not a strange move for him at all. He'll be on a lot more than he's getting at PNE, has an opportunity to show what he can do in the premiership, there's a decent likelihood he'll get a loan deal to another EPL team for next season which could lead to another big move for him. Seems like a no brainer from his point of view.

    Confirmed by Liverpool.

    Verbally agreed a deal with celtic on thursday by all accounts then stalled like * it seems.

    Probably never see the light of day in a liverpool shirt next season but set for life now.

    Only paid £500K upfront for him.

    We are a shambles.

    Only upside of this window was hearing we had agreed to sign one the better CBs from the English Championship, then 48 hours later he is in a Liverpool jersey. This season man...just end!

    All he needs is 5 decent showings in a Liverpool shirt and mugs like villa, west ham, that level will get him in for £15mill.

    Can't fault him for taking that risk when we are an utter * show and at this rate his next move from would likely be back to the championship because we coach all the good and ruin the boys confidence

    We were not 'gazumped' if it's 2 million overall and 500k up front it's just poor from the board ... again

    I guess we'll see but I can't see him getting to show what he can do in the EPL, I see him being a back up this season as Liverpool have so many defenders out injured.
    Next season he won't even see the bench.

    I would imagine then loaned out, more than likely to EPL relegation fodder where he will show nothing or he'll be back in the Championship on loan.

    You got the money bit right though, he will be getting a lot than he was on and more than we would have offered.

    Stalled because Lennon was still there. In the current position we are in it would have been a bad move for him.

    I didn't say he will show what he can do in the EPL, I said he has the opportunity. He certainly can't show what he can do there if he is at a team that isn't in the EPL. And I think he may get more games than you'd expect precisely because of liverpools injury crisis, it's up to him whether he can make it count. Even if he doesn't he's more likely to get a move/loan deal to another premiership team going from Liverpool than from PNE or even from us.

    He was waiting to see what other offers he would get before commiting to us. Worked out well for him

    Sorry, yes I know you said he would have the opportunity to show what he can do in the EPL.
    I'm just not sure he will get that opportunity, yes Liverpool have a lot of injuries in defence but aren't they signing 3 CBs today?
    Also Klopp doesn't mind playing a CM at CB.

    I guess we'll see but from a footballing point of view I think he made a mistake, from a financial point of view he of course made the right move.

    This is what we get for * about, waiting for CEO yo retire.... It has led to every other operation in the club to come ti a stand still.

    If Lennon was sacked and a new manager in, they'd not have * about and got this * in and bid £4 mill 9r something stupid.

    * shambles at the moment

    It's a good move for him as he will earn some dosh & just maybe impress enough to get a deal at another Premier League club.
    I don't want to be controversial but a player would be crazy to sign for Celtic right now when there are other options available

    I'll be honest I haven't even looked at who else they are signing, I was assuming he was the only CB they were bringing in. That being said I think Klopp is more likely to at least try an actual CB there first, if he has one available, before resorting to using a midfielder. But I don't watch much of Liverpool so I could be way off there.
