    Liverpool today confirmed they have completed the signing of Alexander Doni from AS Roma. The goalkeeper has put pen to paper on a contract with the Reds after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.

    Doni, who has 10 caps for his country, made 179 appearances for Roma in six seasons in Italy during which time he lifted the Coppa Italia twice as well as the Supercoppa Italiana. The 31-year-old custodian also helped Brazil to success in the 2007 Copa America.

    A good solid back-up for Pepe Reina.

    Your thoughts?

    Does that mean another one of ''Hodgsons horrors'' aka Brad Jones is getting the boot.Well I hope so.I also reckon Gulasci should be sent on loan...he's very raw.Same with Martin Hansen.

    Sky sports headline: Done deal for Doni :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Good signing, good keepr for cover. His got experience, quality, nice addition.

    My only question is why/how we got him free? He was under contract with Roma until 2013.

    Welcome to Liverpool FC Doni.

    So, we have King Kenny and a Don, next?

    My initial thought was wage bill but they have a new owner who has funds (he is a member of FSG) so i'm not sure. maybe they have a younger sub keeper who they're looking to blood, maybe the player has an issue with one of the coaching staff

    Think you are thinking of Rei, portuguese that means King, Spainish probably the addition of na, changed it to queen.
