Karius Confirmed Signing. Takes Number 1 Jersey.

Right. I'll go first. I think he'll be between the sticks first game of the season. Anyone else?

He won't be as he will be at the Olympics.

Good point.
How are we going to win with no one in goal? Crazy. Fucking Klopp.

Maybe not the first game, but I'm pretty sure he's projected to be first choice next season. Same as if we'd signed Jan Oblak or David dr Gea.

Loris Karius is the most highly rated keeper available this season.

It's now up to Mignolet to prove management wrong.

 

[Holle]

and the predilection for punching rather than catching.

Just out of interest, where does this stem from?

I watch my fair share of Bundesliga and so I've seen him play but I've never noticed this?

 

[Hyena]

a quality top tier goalie; which now looks like delusional bollocks.

Name one "top tier goalie" that would come to Liverpool, that is better than Karius. This is the best we could have gotten.

Read the post.

I hope he's our new starting keeper. I'd take any half decent keeper from the bundesliga over mongolet at the moment.

 

[Insignificance]

I think Klopp will be fair and play Karius in the league and Ming in Europe this season...

Good interview that. Speaks perfect English and comes across as supremely confident.

Says he's a very offensive keeper, and likes to come off his line and control situations before they become a threat. We've lacked that since Reina left.

He's going to end up sending Sakho into Row Z

No chance, Sakho will come back five stone heavier now that he's cut out the fat burning pills.

 

[Judge Jules]

He's retained his English very well considering he left Citeh in 2011.

 

[willby]

Increasingly important with some managers, who like keepers who are quick off their line, have good feet, and can play out from the back.

I see your point. A keeper's pace is more to do with agility & decisiveness, compared to that of an outfield player which can be narrowed down to outrunning the opposition with or without the ball. .. if Karius is decisive & agile, then he will be a major improvement over Ming IMHO.

 

[Squiggles]

I dont think it's a coincidence that a goalkeeper was our first signing and I expect him to become our first choice goalkeeper with Mignolet fucked off in January.

That all hinges on him actually being good though. He seems to have a bad habit of saving the ball into the 6 yard box and a bit punchy.

 

[gkmacca]

He's so slow he kicks the ball away as soon as he gets it. It's as if he's scared of it.

Hopefully Sakho will already be sat in Row Z

Better than holding on to it like our hopeless dopey ming

 

[Markeh]

The fact our first signing is a keeper gives me more confidence in Klopp.

He isn't going to be one of those managers that inexplicably doesn't see problems that are as clear as the nose on your face or persists with shite hoping it comes good.

Ming sucks balls, he'd be number one on my chop list too

 

[Grjt2]

5 year multi million pound deals = dealing with problems.

Okaaaaaaay

 

[leftpeg]

Can't have enough Germans in the side for me. They're the very opposite of Italians.

 

[Molbystwin]

Ming is shite... I'm delighted we've signed a goaly.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Right. I'll go first. I think he'll be between the sticks first game of the season. Anyone else?

He'll be at the Olympics so highly doubtful

 

[reuque]

Does this buying Karius prove the theory that Ming was given a new 5 year contract in January only to increase his price when we sell him?

Don't we have to give him more money though when he leaves?

 

[Hyena]

Isn't it a case of tying down as our backup keeper?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Excellent interview.

 

[reuque]

Excellent interview.

With all due respect, I never get the need to praise footballer interviews. Hardly any groundbreaking stuff there and most interviews are rehashed scripts innit? Other than the odd interviews, footballers are hardly going to say anything enlightening.

Karius might've well stood up and beat his chest screaming "FUCK YAS I AM ZE BEST GOALKEEPER IN ZE WORLD!" and we still won't know better until we see him play a few games.
