Back-up to Szczesny to 66mil goalkeeper in 1 season, absolute madness. I watch Roma quite a bit and I'd say he was slightly better than Szczesny was in 16/17 and he went to Juve for 12mil. Either they a massively overpaying or the market has gone down the shitter. Probably a mix of both.

I don't think Alisson is better than Ederson at all. But he's a massive upgrade on Mignolet and Karius which will surely save them 7+ points a season.

Their biggest issue is still consistency and mentality. Klopp isn't a serial winner like Pep and none of those players have won a title before. They're likely to crack like they did in 2014. Their squad is very impressive, similar to ours in the sense that they've got a young team.

Klopp simply has to with the league this season now doesn't he? Anything else given the amounts they have spent is surely a huge failure. £75 million on a defender in January, £70 million on a midfielder and now £70 million on a keeper alongside other £40 million signings in Fabinho and whatever they paid for Shaqiri. Should get all the scrutiny City and United have done in the past few years.

Ahead if Crazy Eddie in the Brazil Team nontheless.

I wouldn't read too much into that. That fact that Ashley Young is ahead of anyone should be enough to demonstrate my point.

I think they will be a real threat this season. Let's hope I am wrong but they have strengthened well.

 

[Uptop]

Will he be called £70m Alisson / the most expensive keeper in the world every time he makes a save / mistake?

Liverpool FC doing it differently since.....never

Hopefully the Goofy **** will get called out. I'm sure the press will say he's only catching up and using the Coutinho money.
