Interesting how all this has transpired since yesterday. Usually when we hear a deal has been agreed with the team the leg work has already been done with the player, but instead we are hearing that now we have the permission to talk to Alisson. Regardless, if Klopp thinks he's the solution, he has all my trust, and as long as it does not come at the expense of Fekir, as that is a bigger need, i will be 100% behind this move.
Alisson has enough flaws that we all saw over those 7 games or so and is worth nowhere near the amounts being quoted but i imagine Klopp wants to move away from the circus that will follow Karius and the team through the start of the season, because otherwise this is a very anti-Klopp move to make. Do wonder how critics will react the next time Alisson stays glued to his line and someone scores a free header in the 6 yard box and start questioning his transfer fee. We'd be getting a good goalie but not a world class one in the same category as De Gea, Neuer, Courtois or Oblak, and i think people's expectations are that we are.
