On the official now!

Welcome!

Joel Matip completes Liverpool transfer


Joel Matip has today officially been registered as a Liverpool player, finalising his transfer to the club.


The centre-back's long-term contract with the Reds has begun following the conclusion of his previous deal with Bundesliga side FC Schalke.

Matip will take part in the start of pre-season training with his new teammates at Melwood on Saturday, when Jürgen Klopp's side begin preparations for the 2016-17 campaign.

He has the right blend of attributes for a quality cb and has been consistently good at Schalke for years despite being young.
I'm very happy with this signing,welcome Joel!  :wave

This is a real good buy. He has to be more aggressive in defence than he has been with Schalke. But, boy does this guy have all the capabilities. Also, tons of experience. Such kinds of readymade defenders are rare, and to get him on free, is brilliant.
Hope now, Klopp can get him settled in soon.

Good at headers, as well.

Happy days.
Balotelli, Falcao, Cavani...

I'll be shocked if it's anyone other Etoo. Etoo or no-one. Simples.

In fact, I'll do you all a favor and ban myself from the January transfer window forum if we get anyone other than Etoo.

Hopefully a Clyne-like slot into the defence, just doing the job at a top level every week.
If I were a linesman, I would execute defenders who applauded my offsides.

Apparently he`s even taller than Hyypia. Hopefully he`ll be as dominant in the air as Sami.

Didn't see this one coming.

Hopefully he can slot right into defence but I know it can take a while for that position.

Really like the business we're doing this summer, we lacked a bit physically and Matip, along with Mane and Grujic, goes a long way to rectifying that.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

I can't believe we got one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga on a free transfer. I'm a big fan of the Sakho/Lovren partnership, but surely Matip will be pushing for a regular spot straight away.

Surprised at how little hype theres been about this, the German's seem to love him. Schalke fans think he's boss and feared losing him to Bayern, Kicker rating him that high in their ratings thing. Skrtel out and Matip in is brilliant, brilliant news.

According to Dave Hendrick from Anfield Index he is average. I guess we will have to wait and see.
