Alisson had a mate - what keeper doesn’t. He has been brilliant for us since he signed.
Which is partly why I feel like us going out of the Champions League knockout stage against Leipzig might not necessarily be a bad thing at the end of the day.
Just take the opportunity to reset, get healthy, find out whom we need to ship out in the summer, and get a headstart on who to bring in.
And then early transfer window business as soon as the window opens.
None of that unprofessional wait until just before the window closes, so we get reamed for mad prices bullshite we do all the time.
Fergie was always first out of the blocks in bringing new players in during summer transfer windows right after they'd wrapped up titles and that's how he always assured that his squad was fresh and ready for the new challenge the following season to defend it.
We approached the last window like total amateurs who were new to winning titles and it totally showed as soon as the season started.
And then repeat the same trick in the January window.
