Ok ok LTW, no need to be greedy. Give Jorg a chance, he's only just walked through the door.
If he doesn't secure Timber Kone & Thuram for a combined 50m then we can stick the boot in.
Alex is....?

i heard Brighton are now paying us
40 mil and one pound for the honour.
And Nike - they’re also buying him for us.
The shirt sales will also fund the transfer!!!
The opening day fixture is going to be Liverpool vs Brighton with Mac Allister starting for Brighton. Then during half time ........
It’s been along time since we’ve had a proper two footed midfielder
By taking cue from Brighton’s PR team.
Will he even make it into our Best XI???
You’d have to hope so… given he’s two-footed!!!

Only the 2nd we've signed in about 6.
"Alexis Mac Allister is set to become Liverpool’s first signing of the summer, with the Anfield club hopeful of concluding a deal this week for the Argentina World Cup winner.
Contact between Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion has now taken place and midfielder Mac Allister keen to work with Jürgen Klopp.
A release clause in the 24-year-old’s contract means the transfer should progress smoothly, although the value of the deal remains uncertain with a range of fees from £45 million through to £55 million and also £61 million having been previously published.
Mac Allister signed a new deal last October, extending a contract that would have otherwise expired this summer, before helping Argentina win the World Cup in Qatar.
While it is unusual for Brighton to include a release clause in their player’s contracts, the fact remains he could have been available for free without that agreement even if it appears his price tag could be below his current market value.
Manchester United had also looked at Mac Allister, but the player’s preference to move to Liverpool forced Erik ten Hag to divert his attention elsewhere. [United are keen on Chelsea’s Mason Mount](https://archive.ph/o/l8stA/https://...-mount-manchester-united-open-talks-2g3lktn2w), who has a year remaining on his contract but who is still rated at £70 million by the Stamford Bridge club. United view Mount as worth nearer to £50 million.
Mount, the England international, had also been followed by Liverpool, but their priority has been to conclude a deal for Mac Allister whose high technical ability and his versatility in midfield — he can play as a No 6, No 8 or No 10 — make him a key signing.
The player’s representatives are currently in England as talks continue.
Finalising the arrival of Mac Allister is the current focus, but Liverpool will also seek other signings in midfield with availability and price shaping their decision making.
The club has followed Nice’s Khéphren Thuram and Romeo Lavia of Southampton among others, with James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain having left Liverpool on free transfers."
New penalty taker?

So the only area where Alexi exceeds over Jude is possession won? Not good enough. Klopp and Schamdtke out.
I'm kidding btw before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, it's actually very enlightening to see just how closely contested all the individual stats are between the 2.
