I’m delighted we upgraded on all our CBs, let’s see how he performs with zero help from the midfield!

Does anyone believe this signing will increase or decrease our chances of signing De Vrij?

Yes it’s £70 plus 5 in add ons. (According to Wilson from the torygraph)

Gary Neville saying this is a lot of money. His team payed 30 m for a central defender in 2002 when strikers were not going for that price. We had to wait for Chelsea to pay Milan 30.5m for Schevchenko to break that record.

Yep,he was gutted.

Please can everyone chill out on the price. Mustafi, Rudiger and Lindelof all cost around £35 million and were less in demand than Van Dijk was. And City spend almost £50 million on their back four signings these days. Sakho (with no future after a public fallout) went for almost £30 million, and Jonny Evans was being discussed at £35 million this summer.

We've paid a premium to get him ahead of Chelsea and City, and part of us beating them to him was the announcement we made it the summer. It meant it was delayed a few months, and cost us almost £10 million extra, but this is a huge success for Klopp - he's being supported financially and by the backroom staff. I'm glad we've got him his man, and don't care that we've had to spend a lot of money (that we've earned) to do it.

So all our first choice targets in. Fair fucks especially on this one given the competition. Still think it's too much for a centre back mind but hopefully it ends up looking a bargain.

He may have cost more than Mane and Salah combined, but we're paying about half of what Salah and Mane combined are worth now.

He's shown that he's a red throug and through. Could've gone to other clubs bit has basically done everything in his powers yet remained professional throughout in order to come here. What a guy. When do you recon will be his first start? Klopp usually likes to ease new players in.

The fee shows we mean business. This is what United did under Ferguson. Identify and sign (ferdinand) and within reason be damned with the costs.

Made up. Great signing and much needed. Welcome to Liverpool

yeah for sure, he'll be a first name on the teamsheet player, and likely captain at some point.  At City he'd just be yet another big money signing at a souless club,

At City he'd be all of those things, including a likely captain, plus a league winner too. It's as clear a path to the first team there as it is here.

Think a big reason he was a target was his passing. He has a great ability to hit those 60 yard diagonals to the opposite side winger. I think we've been seeing Klavan do this more and more over his stint in the side, and I'm certain it will be more deadly with Salah/Mane running onto VVDs passes as he can hit them consistently.

I have no doubt Klopp was training our CBs to make  this pass with Virgil in mind.
