I have seen Lamela looked world class against Premier League opponents (4-1 Man City pre injury as an example). By using him in the above example suggests that you have a low opinion of him. Just saying.

Personally I’d prefer it if he made 3 on the 15th September

Bit worrying now they’ve signed Alisson...
They’re gonna be a force to be reckoned with next season sadly...
Keïta is the kind of player I’d have liked for us and he’ll improve their midfield massively.
They’ve got Clyne to come back from injury as well and Matip should come back in for the cack... sorry world class centre back... Lovren...

I don't think our Harry will be bothered who is in between the sticks when we play them.
He'll be having a go.

Was talking with a Liverpool fan at work today about their signings and asked him what he thought of their chances of winning the league now. He just said "it's coming home".
And at that moment I shit myself. It would be so typically Liverpool fans to start singing "it's coming home" all season referring to them trying to win back the league title after so long and to ruin what we had going with England.
Hopefully it will end the same way as the World Cup did for us.

Probably just a rehash of 'this year is going to be our year'

The main takeaway is that they have first team signings already playing games and bedding into the team. Something Poch has specifically complained about.

If i recall correctly, everyone was saying much the same about Ederson this time last year. Now Liverpool sign the guy keeping him out of the Brazil #1 slot, and we’re mocking them.
Here’s the thing though - they are going to be City’s only rivals for the league this coming season.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't open the door.
Don't know, they're looking pretty impressive as it is.
Based on what they've done & assuming Salah continues to perform I think it will be L'Pool or MCity for No 1. MU, Arse, Chelski & ourselves will be fighting for the other 2 spots in the top 4. We could alter that balance in our favour of us with 2 or 3 quality signings.

Interesting article about Alisson on the BBC:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44875174
It has stood for 17 years. But the 53m euros (£32.6m) Juventus paid Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001 is no longer a world record fee for a goalkeeper.
Implicit in the length of time it lasted is the confidence Juventus had in Buffon becoming an all-time great. A once-in-a-lifetime talent. But as the game grew richer and richer, the longevity of the record has been the cause of some surprise.
If anything, it symbolised the enduring undervaluation of the goalkeeping position. Undervalued it is no more.
Liverpool's decision to invest up to 75m euros (£66.8m) in Alisson looks an expensive one, because it goes against the conventional wisdom. This is the kind of money clubs are supposed to invest in goalscorers. Not goalkeepers.
But, judging by Alisson's performances for Roma last season, it seems entirely fair. The Brazil international wasn't just considered the best player in his position in Serie A, but the best in any position, such was his influence on Roma's play and results.
Alisson didn't just stop goals. He set them up. He played defence-splitting passes, inch-perfect long balls, completed more dribbles than a whole host of outfield players, and embarrassed opposition strikers with backheels under pressure and a 'sombrero' against Crotone.
At no point did Alisson's tricks cause a quick intake of breath or create a sense of panic. His actions were not frivolous. They were essential. The right decision under the circumstances.
Watch Alisson perform any of the skills listed above and you will not see a showman with a professional death wish, but a self-assured goalkeeper who has earned the complete trust of his team. "He's the goalkeeper of the future," Roma manager Eusebio di Francesco said. The evolution of the species in his position.
At least that is how Alisson is perceived in Serie A, where he distinguished himself as the most convincing interpreter of the sweeper-keeper role Italy has seen since Manuel Neuer made that style the benchmark by which goalkeepers are now judged.
....................................................
I haven't seen much of the guy, but he sounds like a good fit for them from that article. What I will say though is the article makes it sound like he was voted as Series A player of the year, buy from what I can see that hasn't been voted on yet and Buffon won the last award back in November.

Then they bought one in Jan 2018. And made the CL final.

Awesome.
After their fans haunt social media telling people spurs can fill their trophies with "putting pressure on" medals.

Everyone in the top 4/5 are one player from the title.
