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....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited July 18, 2018 by BangrakBob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickG16 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
