You don't win anything at the start of a transfer of course - the ultimate outcome will only be revealed with time...getting all that out of the way, we're in the midst of a cycle of signing players who aren't just good with the potential to be top class, they already come with a big reputation - Van Dijk, Keita, now Alisson. It's a measure of the current reputation of this cycle under Klopp I suppose, when in the past we mostly were a place where good players came to become great. Critical juncture in Klopp's project here, the next two seasons;very well poised to go for the title, the top trophies, let's hope they go that final step and get it done.
Alisson is known, perform to his level and that position is sorted for years.
