    There won't be many better buys than that this summer. Not least for United, who should consider paying it for them.

    Although Liverpool could spend all their remaining transfer budget on a new goalkeeper and I'd be happy enough tbh.

    Courtois is in the last year of his contract and wasn't interested in signing a new one.

    It's still cheap for the second best 'keeper around.

    Still no signs of any transfers for Spurs. It’s gonna be Mauricio’s last season.

    Levy always leaves it late. It’s the only way you can guarantee a season ruining start.

    Yeah, he's better than Karius (fucking hell if he isn't), but seventy fucking million quid for someone with what, one good season under his belt? I'm not convinced.

    Yeah I would stay away from players like Allison and Golovin. They don't convince me at all, especially for the prices mentioned.

    There's a bit of a difference between punting £22m on Golovin (Liverpool want £20m for Ings ffs) and smashing the world record for a 'keeper on some girly-named Brazilian chancer.

    What's wrong with Alisson? I think they'll finish 2nd if they get him.

    Bless him. Would have been the best defender in the business if he wasn't the slowest moving professional athlete on the planet.

    Actually, because Willy Caballero is bollocks, we'll probably have to buy another one. Is there one that Sarri takes around with him?

    I'm selling us for top 10 atm.

    You've been linked with Schmeichel. Good keeper but still has the same flaws he always has (nailed to line for crosses and direct free kicks) and is disgustingly arrogant.

    One can only hope Pepe Reina is still knocking about for them.

    Alisson for 60 million is Good Business. Liverpool are going to win the league.

    £60m for a goalkeeper who has played one season sounds stupid. Ive seen him play a few times and he didn't stand out for me. Compare that to the first time I saw Neuer vs Porto (or possible Sporting Lisbon) via highlights. Neuer was incredible that game. I was exspecting to see those types of performances from players with all that hype. I havent seen it with Alisson

    Guess you have to take a gamble once in a while. The Mbappe transfer looked bonkers but as time goes on he's looking like the top player of his generation.

    £106m for Hazard rejected apparently. Chelsea top 10 is a decent bet if he goes.

    There was a 50/50 split. Half wanted him gone without setting foot into the club grounds again. The other half were willing to very begrudgingly give him another chance. I did hear the concussion thing a few times.

    Then he looked proper wank in the warm up of the Chester game and chucked one in against Tranmere. Very few left willing to give him a chance now.

    I don't agree with all this money on Alisson as I don't think he's much special, but even with an above average goalkeeper in it's still a massive improvement on our chances to win things.

    He looked scorching before he joined PSG though. I haven't seen lots of Allison games but does he look like the goalkeeping version of Mbappe? In the current climate of transfers, im still amazed teams like Arsenal are still able to buy players for 'sensible' fees.

    He did but he'd played like half a season of first team football before he moved.

    The transfer fee is almost irrelevant, he's a young keeper who is a huge upgrade on Karius. Great signing if Liverpool can pull it off. If they do then they should be winning the league.

    It's not like there are loads of top quality keepers knocking around.

    I don’t bother getting hung up on fees. It’s not coming out of my bank so if Liverpool need to spend nearly £70m to mean Karius doesn’t start against Brighton it’s fine by me.

    He may well go but it'll take a lot more money than that.

    He'll go for a similar figure as Coutinho I reckon.

    Exactly and if another key target becomes available they will be able to find another 70m from somewhere easily enough.

    I'm old enough to remember the current Liverpool manager spouting off about transfer fees. They should really be winning something the money they are throwing around.

    Well, technically . . .

    They really should be challenging with the money they've thrown around. I suppose it's better to spaff the money on a position they need rather than a player like Fekir, even if they are ostensibly overpaying (maybe I'm being unnecessarily harsh on Alisson).

    He broke all his knee.

    That's obviously not the official line, but those kind of injuries can be hard to come back from. Official line is everything went to plan, it's just he's going to be out for a whole year.
