3 things I really enjoyed about that match; We seem to have more control of the game and professionalism (if you can call it that) than we did last season. Going for broke was exciting but it was our

Yep defo on this one. 

I don’t think Alisson would take Chelsea over LFC for football, and you’d have to wonder would any other team really be willing to pay that much for a keeper. 

Other reports saying Chelsea are considering a bid to bring Cech back. 

No more barking about skinflint FSG BBob ? Has Klopp charmed FSG as well ? What a clever move it was to bring Klopp on. Your lot look set to be a force to be reckoned with for.......

You'd think it would be easier all round if RM just buy Alisson  ?

They haven't got the cash.  Although that never seems to bother Bank of Madrid!  

 

Allison for a reported 62m.  Then reports of Courtois for 31m!!  Amongst all the usual b*llocks theres some strange figures being thrown around.

Roma and Liverpool agree deal of 66M quid inclusive of add-ons. 

Thats big big money for a keeper but at the end of the day you desperately needed one.  And if i remember right from last season transfers you have a cash reserve left over to reinvest so tying up a world class keeper was a no brainer in my book.

Most expensive goalkeeper and defender ever will be the mantra if I pipe up on the City thread. 

Yeah bang on re.Klopp, remarkable when you look at the side he took over. FSG trust him and then we have Edwards who has become demon dealer. 

 

No complaints here, we desperately needed a top class defender, no.8 and goalkeeper, looks like we’ve got all 3 now.

Yeah the money is insane, and the guy was relatively unknown 2 seasons back. 

But there was no way we could have gone on to the new season with what we have, that would be the definition of insanity. 

That said you can get value from a keeper as they tend to stay on.

Also, I was listening to an English journalist who covers Serie A and he says the lad is an absolute beast. The same lad that said the same about Salah when we made the deal for him. So that’s encouraging.

Courtois has got a year left on his contract and hes not going to sign a new one , thats why Chelsea are letting him go "cheap"

Both Hazard and Courtois seem to be courting a move to Real Madrid (as they both have been for the last year) and RM seem to want Courtois on the cheap and Chelsea will sell now rather than see him go for free next year .

    Hazard wants to be the next Ronaldo at RM , but RM dont seem to want him , not for the money Chelsea will sell for . Hes got two years left on his contract , Chelsea wouldnt want to make the same mistake with him as we have done with Courtois , so it will either be :Stay and sign a new contract or get sold

It's a good signing. Scousers shaping up well.. I don't think they have the best midfield but much like England they don't really need one due to the way they play. 

 

Atm I think Chelsea could have the most problems out of the top 6 next season. Especially if Hazard goes. Sarri is a completely unknown quantity in the PL, and hasn't even had that much time to get to know his squad.

I know.  It was purely a rhetorical comment,  i was just amused at the price difference that can develop due to a contractual situation even though one keeper is really no better than the other.

Saw a bit of Fabinho for Monaco and he's good. Still if you're putting him and Keita in from the start it might take a while to gel.

 

Pogba-Matic-Fred has the potential to be best midfield in the PL, but looking like we might not see it til into September ?

Imagine the (feigned) outrage on TV forum if it was City breaking defender and goalkeeper transfer records..."you're ruining the game", "your buying success"...blah! blah! blah! Instead it's a lot of backslapping going on from non-Liverpool fans on here..."f*cking amazing TV forum!"

 

Anyway he looks like a decent goalkeeper, you need a decent goalkeeper and I'm expecting to see a goalkeeper twice as good as Ederson for that fee ?

To be fair, Liverpool generated a large sum from the sale of Coutinho and if they overpay for Allisson they have surely underpaid for Shaquiri. Swings and roundabouts.

How the money is generated is irrelevant. The net effect on the market is the same and trying to justify it by saying the money came from previous player sales is just giving yourself (not you champs) an imaginary comfort blanket.

City spent £50M on Kyle Walker and John Stones, so I would say they inflated the market for defenders. City don't generate much revenue; by comparison; in sales.

Nah. I'd say Man U started that with Ferdinand. People have short memories and try laying blame on City whenever possible and we still haven't broken any Prem transfer records

You sure about that? Ederson, Walker, Mendy and de Bruyne all currently hold the records in their respective positions. Laporte and Stones also broke the records and so would VVD had he not turned you down!:biggrin:.

 

Do us a favour Mr Organ Grinder. Can you and your monkey get back to your own thread and stop whinging on here....Cheers:thumbsup:

Danny Ward rumoured to miss tonight's game at Blackburn. In talks with Leicester. Roma (and Chelsea?) after Schmeichel. #merrygoround

Sales of players, are you two the only ones who didn't know what Champers meant ?

I did mean player sales, not total revenue inclusive of humungous sponsorships from the home country.
