tidy fee, probably would have got £15/20 mil for a sale

Seen all the tweets to Joyce on that post ha ha!

£6m loan fee

We only paid £10m for him didn't we? Hopefully he can have a good season and either come back a better player ready to push for a first team place or his value will have increased significantly

Yep, smart business by us again. Origi has way too much potential to give up on.

I think that the stick he has been getting on here recently is harsh, he's a good young player with lots of potential. He needs games though which he isn't going to get with us so a loan move makes sense.

Good news but would have preferred the Toon.

Wolfsburg will pay a penalty fee, if Divock Origi doesn't play enough games. [Bild]

This is a very odd deal for Wolfsburg. £6m could probably have bought you a player of similar current ability to Origi, with the right scouting. He obviously has massive potential, but if he does fulfil that, it will be to our benefit, not theirs, whether we sell him on or take him back. We have the option to recall him midseason, which could mess up their plans if we decide to do that. And now they have to play him, even if he's playing crap? (Assuming everything we've heard is true of course.)

So genuinely, what's in it for Wolfsburg?

[Fredo]

Short term surely. And of course the possibility of a full 1 year term.

Liverpool have forced upon a recall clause in January

[The_weatherman]

I think Origi will be a great success in the Bundesliga actually, but saying that, seems like a great deal for us and Origi, hopefully Wolfsburg as well.

Origi scored 7pl goals last season and was far from a regular starter. No way are you getting a player as good as him for £6m.

He's a far better player than this thread makes out. A loan deal for him is perfect for all parties.

Don't get the Origi bashing, still a great prospect.

Well maybe £6m is a bit of a stretch, but it still seems like an awful lot for a loan deal, especially one with so many stipulations in our favour (actually didn't think you were allowed a recall option if a fee was involved).

And I've never once said he's a bad player, that wasn't the point I was making. There just seems a lot of risk involved for Wolfsburg, so seems like such an unusual deal to me.

[Daffy Duck]

£6m for a loan is proportional to the insane rise of transfer fees I guess? It's become pocket change by the looks of it.

Good deal for all parties involved, we get 1/15 of Lemar money and player development in a good team, Wolfsburg get a good (def underrated) player, and he gets enough playing time to finally develop his talents.
I really like Origi, thought he was already brilliant before that cunt snapped him, and if this goes well I think he'll be a starter here. Clearly Klopp thinks so too, if we worked this hard to get him an obligatory appearance clause or whatever.
