There are a lot more quality outfielders available than keepers.
Karius simply isn't good enough, but everyone knows we're desperate for one so they will hike the price to ridiculous levels. Before the Neymar atrocity, sellers would have stuck another 10-15 mil onto the price, now they just double it.
The fact that we won't pay extortionate prices doesn't mean we think Karius will do, just that we have no alternative.

But Klopp will know alternatives to the Allisons and Oblaks........if Klopp is happy to maintain Karius as no.1 then he is saying he rates and trusts
the keepers ability surely?

Perhaps, but not necessarily. He might think that the only keepers available aren't enough of an improvement, and that those who are are just way over-priced.
I honestly can't see how anyone can justify a team with our aspirations going into a new season with Karius as no.1. I felt as sorry for the guy as anyone in the aftermath of the CL final, but we can't build a team around sentiment. He might be strong enough to overcome that disaster, but equally he might fall apart when the pressure builds again. How can we take that risk?

Bit optimistic, imo. I was thinking a few weeks until they can start saying the contract just increases his value.

spanish are out of world cup.

the only thing they have is to savage team and spanish FA and then go made on rumours.

I would give them a week of feeding frenzy on national team and then once that is done they will want to go made on rumours to drown out world cup finishing up.

media ****hounds
 
If we get the right keeper he can't be over priced. A good keeper is priceless these days. Watched a really good interview with Mel Reddy about it, she knows her stuff. I wasn't convinced about big money on a keeper till I listened to what she said.

A solid keeper is absolutely priceless.

If we're prepared to spend 75mil on a CB then we shouldn't be worried about spending big on a keeper.

Nothing I've seen of Alisson has convinced me he's worth it.

true.

Its up to the manager. his head is on the block on his decisions.

if we don't get a keeper then it is what it is.

We can see who a few players and more coaching transformed city. Ederson was one and two full backs also. silva, debruyne, sterling ,aguero, fernandinho, otamendi were all there already. walker and ederson made a difference.


For us I feel as though the front 3, new midfield and 3 of the defence is there. GK and RCB would be nice. more forward cover is also vital. Just to improve us.

Yeah maybe not Alisson - but I'd certainly pay 88mil for Oblak.

That instantly turns us into real contenders.

Potentially that 88mil could be returned in one season. We paid 75mil for VVD and won approx that in the CL, so he paid for himself in that sense.
 
I've no opinion of who GK should be. theres a big jump to prem in terms of batterings given out #. theres lot of high quality guys who might do the job but they have to settle in england.

inevitably there will be a transition period.
