Ed 001 what is it about Allisson that makes him so brilliant? Will we be seeing a player profile on him soon? On the compilation videos of his best saves he parrys the ball quite a lot into dangerous areas teams are always getting the rebounds does this not worry you? He does make spectacular saves though! Can't wait to see him for us. Very exciting times ahead.

{Ed001's Note - reflexes are lightning and he is excellent with his feet.}

What do you think of his sweeping ed? I think it's terrific personally and that will suit our style down to the ground.

{Ed001's Note - that is exactly what makes him so good. He is exceptional in that regard.}

If he parries a shot into the danger area that a lesser keeper wouldn't even get to, that's got to be a good thing. I'd rather give the defenders a chance to clear it than definitely concede. Not saying that'll be the case with ALL the youtube saves you may have seen (lets face it, we've ALL youtubed him), but I would suggest that some of his parries save certain goals, so i'll take that.

He's most definitely the best goalkeeper we could have signed for our style of play. Not saying he's the greatest in the world, but of the handful better than him, some would never sign (De Gea, Courtois), and some play in a completely different style of team to us (Oblak) .

From what you have see do you think he is good commanding his box and dealing with crosses? Secondly do you think language barrier will be much of a problem as a goalie?

{Ed001's Note - organising he is good at, he will sweep up well, but crosses are a weakness. But that is pretty much the same with every keeper in the game right now. Language is little problem, basic shouts can be learnt in a few days.}

Thank you. I do feel reassured. And if Karius stays raising the bar will only make him a better keeper too.

I think Alissons confidence is also a major plus. You can see the guy was meant to be a goalkeeper.

Reckon he will be the signing of the whole EPL season.

What about less basic shouts? Like Lovren volley it into Milners head? Will Milner know to turn and divert it back to him?

People are saying he isn’t great at crosses but who is? De Gea who we all laud doesn’t come to claim anything.
