Liverpool FC Forum

The bookies have made us 2nd favourites for the title, given a lot of them thought we needed a top class keeper to be regarded as genuine title challenges it looks like they think we've now got one.

Edit - I see Roma have tweeted a thank you and goodbye message to Alisson as well, looks like the deal is done.

Now officially confirmed. Massive!!

Klopp on Alisson

At one point in the last few weeks it came up, the opportunity to sign one of the world’s best goalkeepers.“Then it’s not a long thought, to be honest, it’s only that you need to have a little talk with the owners! They were quite excited, so we did it.

“I think it’s something we have to do. He has nothing to do with the price, we have nothing to do with the price, it’s the market, that’s how it is and we will not think a lot about it. “It shows the value of goalkeepers, of course, in this moment. “It will happen a lot in the next few weeks I guess and that’s it, so we are really happy to have him here now. “His English is surprisingly good and he is a real personality.”

Beautiful announcement we can all sleep easy tonight and raise a glass to Alisson tomorrow evening. Taken years to part with the cash and genuinely replace Reina and it's caused us all a lot of pain and suffering watching terrible keepers, and also the chaos that imposes on any defence you put together. No more looking away on corners and pass backs. Savour the moment and let's hope the lads everything we hope and more.

Great news 
He is an upgrade on what we have so happy days!!

Welcome to the club 

Even when he’s asleep he’s an upgrade on karius.

In his presser he revealed that Salah was texting him about the move 

"Yesterday, he sent me a message saying: 'Hey, what are you waiting for?' As the negotiations were at an advanced stage, I replied to him straight away saying: 'Calm down, I'm on my way!'

Finally official

We have arguably one of the strongest team in decades, all due to Klopp.

Just compare what we have now to the rubbish under Bodgers and you will see why those that defended him were truly deluded cultists.

For the first time in a long, long time we are one of the favorites for the title.

All hail Klopp!!!!

Never thought I would see a decent Lfc team in my lifetime, always an obvious weakness in the team to undermine our season. Have to say klopp and the owners have outperformed my expectations on this one.

FSG have backed Klopp when he's asked for it. Fantastic to have a manager who won't splurge cash just for the sake of it, but hold out for world class talent who genuinely buy into the long term project.

Just thought I'd take the opportunity to call Bodgers a 'snake oil merchant'. 

Carry on.....

I love Salah.

Can't wait to see our lads back in premiership action. Welcome Alisson can't believe we finally will have a solid keeper since forever.

And officially, welcome to the club to one of the best goalies in the world! Great signing, exactly the kind of GK we needed.
