So it looks like he might be on his way to England with Liverpool having made a bid.

What's the Caf's thoughts on him? Any Serie A fans here seen much of him between the sticks? How much of an upgrade is he on Karius/Mignolet?

£62m for a keeper?

I thought the hypocrite said he’d do things differently even if he had the money to spend?

Only seen him play for Brazil; never been that impressed with him tbh. His performances must be on a different level for Roma if he's attracting these massive bids.

Coming off a stunning season. Whether he's really that good or it was a one off remains to be seen. Major upgrade over what you have for sure though

Massive upgrade over Karius and Mignolet. Has a good beard. Brazil national team picks him above Ederson for whatever that's worth (though I never put toooo much stock into how national team managers pick their players).
IMO if he goes to Liverpool I'd have him on the tier of goalkeepers below De Gea in the league. Probably competing with Ederson for the 2nd best keeper in the league IMO.

With Tibo leaving I see him going to Chelsea.
Liverpool and Karius are a match made in heaven.

Haven't Liverpool denied any bid or that there will even be a bid?

Can’t say I’ve seen much of him bar the Roma v Liverpool champs league games.

If he’s Ederson out the Brazil side he can’t be that bad,

Just one centre half away if this one gets done and they are as good as any XI in the league, and when we move from paper to the actual pitch, likely better than us if these signings work.

The best goalkeeper of Serie A last year for me and one of the best in Europe for sure, I'm not sure if spending THAT much on a keeper is a wise choice but anyway you would get a damn solid player

He let in a hat full in the CL. The most conceded?

Not only is Allison 'up there' in the top bracket but in 17/18 he pretty much had a bracket on his own. The habit of rating players without semiregularly watching them is disturbing. Liverpool pretty much got the best keeper in the PL now but if any of you watched Roma last season and disagrees I'm here for a discussion.

This is Salah all over - after a season the english will boast how they 'discovered' Allison when the knowledgeable part of the football world already knew and rated him

I think Salah, Naby Keita, Shaqiri, Fabinho, Mane, etc were cheaper than 50m. IMO Liverpool have spend Coutinho's money wisely to balance their team.

I hope they don't sign Allison because he is the best GK in the Italian league.

A goalie to LFC is like a good CB or CDM to Arsenal, fairly important.

The way the market is now it's pretty difficult to put a finger on what's value and what's overpriced- so it's probably best for a team to just get what they need, and if that means paying more, like VVD then so be it.

People saying Klopp going the City route, are obviously hanging their rods out hoping for a bite...LFC have two players in their side 50million+ VVD and Keita.

Klopp since arriving has around a net spend of 70 million according to anfield-online, whilst, Coutinho makes a lot of that, who cares, he was a LFC player.

Back to Alisson, i haven't a clue really how good he is, what i know is LFC need a good goalie, and Butland would cost 30-35 mill (probs), Pickford 50mill plus probs with the WC hype...It's hard to find alternatives....

It's a shame. He's a good keeper and he'll improve you. I was/am really hoping you'd be going with Karius as 1st choice.

Pickford let in 70ish last season but you seem to think he’s great.
Everton were shite. And no one thinks he’s great (yet) but he had an outstanding World Cup. It’s only up from here for him.
