I only have 2 words for this signing.......
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.
