So we don't really know if he will start as the number one, or indeed just how good he is, but it's quite gratifying that finally, after crying out for a new goalkeeper for two years, we've signed one

Just the DM, AM, CB, LB, Striker to go now!

I still don't get the Mignolet deal, unless Klopp really does think he can have two competitive goalies on his hands for the foreseeable future.

Bit short on games though for that to be truly feesable, without any European Football next season.

Liverpool agree deal to sign Loris Karius

James Carroll

Liverpool Football Club have confirmed a deal has been reached to sign goalkeeper Loris Karius from FSV Mainz 05.

The 22-year-old has agreed a long-term contract with the Reds to tie up a move from the Bundesliga side after completing a medical on Merseyside.

Speaking about the switch to Anfield, Karius told Liverpoolfc.com: “It’s a very good feeling and it’s an honour to play for a club like this.

“They have a special history and the fans are amazing here, so I look forward to playing at Anfield.

“I know a lot about the club from watching them on TV. The history, everybody who plays football knows. There a lot of things in my head when I think of this club.

“I spoke to the manager and I had a good feeling afterwards because he told me what he wants to do with the club and with the players.
“It was a good talk with him and after that I was convinced this was the right decision.”

Karius, who has represented Germany at U21 level, made 34 Bundesliga appearances last season, keeping nine clean sheets to help Mainz to a sixth-place finish.

He becomes Liverpool’s second new arrival of the summer so far after a deal was agreed earlier this year to sign Joel Matip following the conclusion of his current deal with FC Schalke.

Karius will officially become registered as a Reds player on July 1.
 
He'll wear the nr 1 shirt. Good!

And he's 189 cm. Height wont be an issue.
The Bundesliga is very similar in regards to being as competitive and physical as the Premier league. Last time I checked they were crossing the ball and had tall players over there aswell.

Havent seen any of the German journos point out any weakness in all honesty.
Was voted the second best goalkeeper in the BL by the players, only behind Neuer.

Isnt the wind a big factor in the bundesliga?
 
This is bollocks. He caught 99% of the crosses that came into his box? So how come he has a reputation for punching rather than catching?

I don't mean to sound sceptical, but you're the poster who "liked his height", even though he's actually two inches shorter than Mignolet.

According to whom?

According to Squawka, Karius had 82 claim attempts (1 failed) to 16 punches last season. For comparison, Timo Horn had 66 (2 failed) to 18 punches, Mignolet 83 (9 failed) to 17 punches.

Fucking hell. 9 failed. Ming is 9 times fail-ier than Karius.
 
How come he's coming so cheap given the season he's apparently had?


Contract length? Release clause?
 
Happy with this signing and for a good price too.
As people have stated, he was voted second best goalkeeper in the Bundisliga just behind Neuer yet people are still claiming he's shit having probably never seen more than a couple of YouTube clips.
Typical SCM.
