KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum PL COVID Summer Transfer Close 11pm Monday 5th Oct

We were all worried when Alisson got injured, I do not blame Adrian for yesterday, but he had his part to play with the rest of the team, we need a better backup GK, especially if Alisson is out for an extended period, last I heard was 6-8 weeks, which could mean we are knocked out the CL by the time he returns !!!

I think we should sign a decent backup keeper, Butland is at Stoke, he is a good keeper and is 27, but would he want to be the understudy for Alisson and rarely play?

Languishing in mid table mediocrity in The Championship with Stoke or being the 2nd in line at Champions of World and Premier League in Liverpool...hmmm hard choice?

Scary to think Adrian will take in at least a derby game and 3 CL Group games...our season could be over before it's really even started!

It's not a like for like comparison though, as he will be number 1 and play at most clubs he joins.

I doubt Klopp will buy a GK anyways, he puts allot of faith in his players, so would be a big surprise if he bought a GK to replace Adrian.

Marko Grujic’s proposed move to Werder Bremen is off after the German club were unable to finance a deal following positive talks between the player and manager Florian Kohfeldt. Grujic will now stay at #LFC until the January transfer window.

I'm told Xherdan Shaqiri won't be leaving #LFC today. Had been strong enough interest for him to be omitted from Jurgen Klopp's last two matchday squads but doesn't appear a move will materialise barring a surprise late bid.

Unless Burnley come back with a bid near 20m, Harry Wilson will not be moving either...so no chance of a Keeper coming in now.

Why are talking of backup keepers,never known a keeper to get injured so much,liability.

This injury was due to a collision in training, so that can happen at anytime, just unlucky, not like a recurring muscle injury or something like that.

As for deals falling through on selling the likes of Grujic & Shaq, I am happy, we may need them, lots of games coming up.

A collision with the team bus?
