And we keep dithering on Toby and Alex Sandro.

Massive upgrade on Karius/Mignolet though.
He's a good keeper yeah but not Neuer, DDG, Oblak, Courtois level. Not even near.
Think it's his twin brother that plays for Spain to be fair, he's probably only worth 50m.
He has the potential to be though

Sometimes you only need "good" to make enough of a difference. France won the WC with Lloris, City the league with Ederson, Real the CL with Navas.
Yeah the quality of a keeper is overstated at times. If you've got a good enough defence in front of him, he doesn't need to be WC for a team to be very successful. He just can't be shite.
He is good enough though with room for improvement. He is relatively inexperienced and unknown over here, but has made great improvements for Roma. Good signing for them, just like Keita and Fabinho, no doubt
Yeah but we’re not signing any of them. Oblak would cost a daft amount of money.
Allison is a big enough upgrade imo.
Roma are our new Southampton.
Matip was a starter. Klavan was a squad player but even as a squad player he was borderline diabolical. Honestly, you can't even debate that. Grujic was supposedly the next big thing according to the Kopites.
You're not making any sense - don't confuse having a clear budget with penny pinching. Just cos the likes of City and PSG can spend £50m a time on FBs and squad players doesn't mean everyone else can, irrespective of FFP. Look at Real, Bayern, and to a lesser extent Barca - all of whom are much more valuable than the rest and just like Utd aren't going crazy. Barca's spending only came about once the Neymar deal went through, and they now are looking at the same range as everyone else.
That obviously isn't our policy - we spent over £70m on two players without letting anyone else leave. The fact that deadwood is still being relied upon means that Jose wants them in the team. If you want to blame anyone, blame him. Woodward has shown ever since he came in to the role that he is willing to back his managers to the hilt, even when he probably shouldn't have.
It seems that you are complaining that we don't have the GDP of a Gulf state allowing us to spend upwards of £200m a season. If that is the case, then you need a reality check...
Good signing it would be for pool. Will definitely solve one of their key problems.
Real, Barca and Bayern don't have as bad a squad as we do. Granted Real and Bayern's stars are aging but definitely not our level.
No more from me anyway. No point in arguing, will wait till the end of the window to judge.
Who cares about how much they're spending? They're addressing an obvious weakness with a decent keeper, they're upgrading that position. Given their keepers cost them points throughout the season (and a CL), it's a good recruitment for them. Probably not good business, but honestly who cares?
Oblak has a release clause.
I care as we have had to listen to alot of tripe from their fans and wank stain of a manager about money yet they are forking out 150m on VVD and Alisson Becker..
Anybody else think Alisson is hugely overrated?
He looked like a Swan flapping all over the place when he played away to Liverpool in the CL.
Hardly made a save in either of the 2 legs either that I can think of.
Barely did anything special for Brazil either?

Which is a daft amount of money
It's a big feck you to all the people on here who thought we'd already spent the Coutinho money on Van Dijk, Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain
Another trophy free season and you'll deserve every bit of criticism that comes your way. No longer can claim your owners don't invest in the squad.
"Fiorentina are asking for around €70-80m for Chiesa....According to La Repubblica, the Nerazzurri are determined to sign the Italian international, and could sell Perisic and Candreva to raise funds."
25m more than Allison isn't that daft to be fair.
He's not good enough to become the most expensive keeper in the world, that's for sure.
I think he'll do well at Liverpool, but wouldn't be surprised if he struggles at first.
Since when has that ever stopped them from improving their squads? Did Real having Kaka stop them from getting Ronaldo in 2009? Did Barca having Messi and Sanchez stop them from getting Neymar? For the second time, no one else bar Liverpool have as yet, strengthened their squad to a considerable extent this summer. If anything, we have been among the more active teams in the market among the current top 6.
And yes, that was precisely my point in my first message toyou. Instead of bleating and complaining that we haven't got player xyz, just wait and see what happens at the end of the window. If we don't strengthen then you'd have a point but I'm 100% positive you'll have little cause to complain. My only issue is whether Jose will have identified the correct players.
I think that’s the daft amount, something like €90 million?
"According to Tuttosport, City had a €50m bid rejected before launching their assault on Jorginho
However, the temptation of working with Pep Guardiola is there, though Juventus won’t even consider a sale for less than €80m."
I don’t know why what we paid for VVD is laughable. He’s made a huge difference to our defence.I care as we have had to listen to alot of tripe from their fans and wank stain of a manager about money yet they are forking out 150m on VVD and Alisson Becker..
£89 million was a lot of money when United signed Pogba. Since then Neymar signed for PSG and everything went mad.
Coutinho’s fee is evidence of that.
So if Klopp has his way he'll have spent a world record 75m on a goalie and defender? What did he say about the Pogba fee? Massive hypocrite. Just another check book manager.
I wouldn't care one bit, I'm used to trophyless seasons at this point. Fact is, our squad is infinitely, 100 times better than when Klopp arrived at the club. He immediately showed the owners that he can be trusted to compete if backed properly, and that's what they're doing right now. It's still a process of slowly assembling a squad full of top players for me at the moment, and that's exactly what he's doing. Just look at the state of our bench in the CL final and you know we needed to invest some more this offseason.
News of Dave’s contract extension soon hopefully
It maybe daft to the rest of us but apparently not to Liverpool with the way you're spending.
Personally I think he's off to Chelsea as soon as Courtois to Madrid is sorted and I'll still say the same thing then when that happens.
There's just no need to spend money like that on a keeper unless he's top tier elite, even then that like 3 keepers in total.
If City signed Pjanic I'd probably have a little cry. But they'd have to spend money to make it happen, so I don't think he'll be going there. Money bags City not wanting to overspend is such a funny gimmick.
It's the hypocrisy that makes me laugh
Wouldn’t that be a failure though? Investing this heavily and still having nothing to show for it?
You think Allison is off to Chelsea or Oblak?
