OFFICIAL : Alisson to Liverpool

@Mr Nick09 wrote:If i did not know anything about football and i had just watched the world cup, someone please tell me why Liverpool think spending 75-80 mil on Alisson is better than signing say, Pickford?

Excellent communicator with his defense, great distribution, top class shot stopping ability, instincts and reflexes(especially in the penalty box), decisive on crosses and has a fantastic, humble mentality. Steps up when needed. Great player, great person.

But I don't believe Chelsea would have sold him to LFC.
Tbf I am even surprised if they give away him for that price.

Courtois only has one year left on his contract, that's why he's available at such a price.

Anyways, as usual, I agree with main man @robes here. Alisson is a top keeper.

lets be honest here if liverpool do sign alisson and thats a big if. he is the best keeper we can sign and yes the money is crazy but if we sign him for £60mil its because we are desprate for a keeper. if we are to push on and challange for titles and cups we need him. the thing is its now a sellers market. also another way of looking at it is like this. salah cost £34mil. alisson £60mil so thats around the same money as lukaku. or £60mil less than madrid will pay for hazard. the market is crazy.

people talking about Courtois going for £30mil are crazy. chelsea would let him go next season on a free before they will take £30mil for him.

You might have to edit that post, there are lots of sources claiming the deal is done. I do agree with you on the Alisson deal, though. It's a ton of money, but at least Liverpool are trying to do something with an obvious weakness. Desperation played a part, but what other keepers are on the market?

Look at RM, we still have a DM for a CF.

No, we won't. Courtois isn't irreplaceable. 30m pounds is better than nothing, especially since we'll have to buy a replacement.

30mil for chelsea is chicken feed. you have a new manager coming in and he will want to keep the best players. a good season for chelsea next season is worth more than 30mil for one of there best players imo.

He is not signing an extension, so it's either 30m now or nothing at the end of the year. I'll take the 30m thanks.

Hopefully he decides he would prefer to live in London more.

lmao they have been doing that for weeks

Maybe they are discussing the final details of his personal terms after having a verbal agreement/go ahead from the player initially

Joyce usually reports something when its close to being finalized. Alisson should be a Liverpool player by the end of the week unless Chelsea come in with a mega contract offer which I doubt.

nah it's just this BS that you are supposed to contact the club first before speaking with the player. But no one respects that, Clubs go straight to the players, whether the club likes it or not lol

Source on how where we have LFC officials speaking to Allison? I don't remember reading that anywhere.

That is what I meant by verbal agreement. Alisson must have already agreed to move there but now they are just sorting out personal terms as it seems.

Everyone does it, let's not be naive.

no excuses territory

Klopp sacked if he doesn't win the PL and CL IMO

Fabinho 40 mil. Alisson 65mil. Shaq 13 mil. That’s £118 mil of the coutinho money spent. Add 20 mil of the champions league money to it and that pays for fekir

I guess Van Dijk was bought with the money you found under the couch or something

I swear 4 years from now you'll still be spending these Coutinho funds

Van Dijk was from the Sterling sale
