Given the age keepers can play until, it's possible he can be here for the next decade!  How sweet would it be to have that stability at the back.

I also love the ages of our core pieces...

Trent Alexander-Arnold - 19
Keita - 23
Fabinho - 24
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 24
Andrew Robertson - 24
Allison - 25
Salah - 26
Firmino - 26
Mane- 26
VVD - 27

We're well positioned to continue doing damage for years to come.

Because they've spent the last six months somewhat aggressively pushing the view we don't need a goalkeeper. Thankfully Klopp disagrees

I don't think a lot of people thought that we didn't need a new keeper, but just that we probably weren't going to spunk a load of money for a world class one. And hence why Karius was the best available fit for us from the bargain bin. There were all sorts of names being mentioned like Butland/Schmeichel/anyone similar and most thought if that was the case, we should just stick with Karius.

Anyone not delighted with this signing needs to be examined.

and we have Alisson.

I had two transfer dreams, VVD and Alisson, I have realised both of them.

Trust me we got the best goalkeeper in the world.

Now I am just waiting for the league to start...WE ARE GOING TO FUCKING WIN IT

They've backed Karius, and now they'll back Alisson. I doubt the Karius backers (myself included) will be feeling embarrassed about supporting the team and hoping they do well.

Alisson looks great, his reflexes look top class, he kicks and throws like Pepe and he looks to have a real presence about him. I'm very excited by this signing.

I don't think that's the case. The likes of Babu and others have merely presented a counter argument to the 'hey lets sign this guy, he saves shots' nonsense. I think it's clear as day both other goalkeepers have very clear and obvious flaws but they both have strengths as well and it was as much about pointing out why it's better to have a goalkeeper with lettuce fingers like Karius, who can let the defence play 10m higher and can reduce big chances by being quick of his line over someone like Mignolet. Simon being someone who is good at stopping shots but likes to be protected, isn't happy closing down angles and is incapable of quick distribution.

I think there is a degree of self confirmation that comes into things of course, it's natural but we've got what we wanted which is a ridiculously good goalkeeper who still has enough growth to become even better.

And then they walk out on the pitch on a European night and see , feel and hear the first YNWA and  allez allez allez , this is what it means to be a footballer . We can achieve it together . Personally I have really not felt like this since the summer of 87
Remember it well. Rushie was leaving and we were all wondering which forward would we buy to replace him but instead we bought a whole new attack of Barnes, Beardsley and Houghton and we went on to play I believe the best attacking football of that era. It feels a bit like that. The vibes, signing top class players. Last season it felt we were on a journey toward of greatness really building something special. I belueve with this windows signings we'll be closer to the title than ever before.

Fucking unbelievable.

How the fuck did we turn in to the club signing the likes of Keita, Fabinho, Salah, Van Dyke and now Alisson Fucking Becker ??.??.??.??

The Klopp factor is a real and measurable phenomenon.

Once upon a time we bough Carroll when Falcao went for less money and lower wages, and Downing instead of someone like Cazorla.

We spent 30 million on the likes of Benteke pre Neymar prices.

Klopp's worst signing for big money so far has been Gini. And Gini is a great midfielder - versatile, definitely good enough for a top 4 squad, and has retained his value. Every other signing made under Klopp has been a stunning success. VVD, AOC, Mane, Salah combined are probably worth twice what we paid for them, and are all outsanding footballers. Keita and Fabinho will be in this category, I'm sure.

Competent management and a real pull to the club. Brilliant stuff, and a remarkable turnaround in our transfer market 'hit rate' compared to...well everyone since Rafa, who was the last manager we had who spent money well.

I think we're going into the season with one of Lallana/Hendo/Milner/Gini (the 3rd midfielder) as the 'weak link' in our starting 11. All of them are boss on their day and are all very good footballers. If that's the weakness...god we're going to be delicious to watch.

Alisson: Liverpool's world-record signing from Roma is 'goalkeeper of the future' - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44875174

Quote
It has stood for 17 long years. But the 53m euros (£32.6m) Juventus paid Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001 is no longer a world record fee for a goalkeeper.

Implicit in the length of time it lasted is the confidence Juventus had in Buffon becoming an all-time great. A once-in-a-lifetime talent. But as the game grew richer and richer, the longevity of the record has been the cause of some surprise.

If anything, it symbolised the enduring undervaluation of the goalkeeping position. Undervalued it is no more.

Liverpool's decision to invest up to 75m euros (£66.8m) in Alisson looks an expensive one, because it goes against the conventional wisdom. This is the kind of money clubs are supposed to invest in goalscorers. Not goalkeepers.

But, judging by Alisson's performances for Roma last season, it seems entirely fair. The Brazil international wasn't just considered the best player in his position in Serie A, but the best in any position, such was his influence on Roma's play and results.

Alisson didn't just stop goals. He set them up. He played defence-splitting passes, inch-perfect long balls, completed more dribbles than a whole host of outfield players, and embarrassed opposition strikers with backheels under pressure and a 'sombrero' against Crotone.

At no point did Alisson's tricks cause a quick intake of breath or create a sense of panic. His actions were not frivolous. They were essential. The right decision under the circumstances.

Watch Alisson perform any of the skills listed above and you will not see a showman with a professional death wish, but a self-assured goalkeeper who has earned the complete trust of his team. "He's the goalkeeper of the future," Roma manager Eusebio di Francesco said. The evolution of the species in his position.

At least that is how Alisson is perceived in Serie A, where he distinguished himself as the most convincing interpreter of the sweeper-keeper role Italy has seen since Manuel Neuer made that style the benchmark by which goalkeepers are now judged.

Alisson rushed off his line and cleared the ball 41 times this season. To put that into perspective, the next best goalkeeper in Italy when it comes to sweeping was Pepe Reina - he managed 20. Alisson proved crucial in enabling Roma to play with an aggressive high line in defence.

For all the attributes that mark Alisson out as a thoroughly modern goalkeeper, it is the old-fashioned stuff that makes him a traditionalist's favourite as well. Tall and broad shouldered, he has an imposing frame and can seem like a magnet for the ball.

Alisson made 109 saves last season and was the only goalkeeper in Serie A with a shots saved percentage of 79% or higher. Limit that to attempts inside the box and his record is the best in Italy over the past five years.

More impressively, Opta's advance metrics show that given the quality of chances Alisson faced, the average goalkeeper would have conceded 36.31 goals. Alisson is no ordinary goalkeeper. He allowed just 28; a difference of eight, the biggest in Serie A.
As Roma and Edin Dzeko did not score as freely as they had done the previous season, his interventions assumed greater significance. Some were jaw-dropping.

Alisson's first Champions League game of the season set the tone for the rest of the campaign. Roma were out-played by Atletico Madrid but held out for a 0-0 draw thanks to a goalkeeper who made nine saves.

In October, he had to tell the pundits in the Sky Italia studio to leave the comparisons with Gordon Banks alone. Adam Masina, now of Watford, thought he had scored for Bologna, just as Pele believed he had netted for Brazil against England at the 1970 World Cup. But Alisson was able to dive and flick the ball up and over, stopping a certain goal.

Roma goalkeeping coach Marco Savorani deserves a great share of the credit in the blossoming of Alisson.

Savorani was also behind Wojciech Szczesny's progression. The former Arsenal goalkeeper came on leaps and bounds under his guidance, so much so that Juventus chose him to be Buffon's successor.

"He makes everything look easy," Savorani has said about Alisson. "He reads the game. He keeps very cool. Over the last 18 months he has refined his technique a lot. He's a champion with a capital C."

A bargain for the 8m euros (£6.7m) Roma paid Brazil's Internacional for him, Alisson will be one of the most profitable deals in the club's history, a parting gift from Walter Sabatini, Monchi's predecessor as sporting director.

Not that Roma fans are overly pleased with the idea of losing another star in the same summer as Radja Nainggolan's departure to Inter. That said, 11 new signings have come in and the bitterness is lessened by the confidence in Monchi and the process he started last year.

Roma did not need the money after a run to the Champions League semi-finals and the sponsorship it attracted, which helped free them from their Financial Fair Play settlement agreement with Uefa.

But when someone is willing to pay 22m euros (£19.6m) more than the existing record for a goalkeeper and can offer a salary outside the limits of your wage structure it is hard to turn them down.

At least this summer Roma benefit from the inflation the Neymar transfer provoked, which contributed to making the sale of Mohamed Salah look cheap when they sold him to Liverpool for £34m in 2017.

Liverpool can be confident Alisson will make as big an impact relative to his position as their last signing from the Eternal City.

A top-class goalkeeper was the missing piece in Jurgen Klopp's Anfield puzzle. But in Alisson, Liverpool look to have found it.
Raúl barely had a kick. The nearest he got to greatness was when he shook Gerrard by the hand.   Times - Mar 10,2009.

Apparently his initiation song was I Wonder Why by Dion and the Belmonts dressed as Chewbacca but sung in the style of Showaddywaddys Dave Bartram.He was helped on backing vocals by Moreno and Naby Kieta

Was a tribute to former Belmont Rd nightclub the Wooky Hollow where his nan used to drink

Not to mention Karius had an excellent second half to last year, he fits our system well with quick decisions and quick distribution so he will likely make an outstanding back up goalie and this will take the pressure right off of him so he can rehabilitate outside of the spotlight, its actually the best thing that could have happened because he was headed over a cliff live on social media, sadly, so the tandem is literally world class.

Meantime we got MESSIKEEPER wow thats exciting. I support this club becouse as a 12 year old Canadian in London on a Friday i pretty much had to go to school on Monday with a team to support and on Saturday Ray Clemence was superman flying through the air and i was sold right on the spot. This is the first time since then we've had a guy like that imo.

Pity the fool bets against us this season.

Welcome you beaut!

Can't remember the last time I was this excited for an LFC keeper. Pepe was great while here but when he came in he didn't have as much hype as Alisson.

YNWA!
