Darren Bent has claimed that Alisson Becker has been “worth every penny” for Liverpool and is surprised that more clubs have not followed in the Reds’ footsteps and spent money on a new “goalkeeper” to help them win trophies.
Although firepower at the top of the field and quality in midfield are essential if any team wants to taste success, the arrival of our number 1 from Roma in 2018 is recognized as one of the best signings in the league. club history.
The Brazil international signed a deal worth £67m and has won every major trophie possible since his move to Anfield.
“[Alisson has been] Worth every penny,” Bent told talkSPORT (via Rousing The Kop). “The Liverpool situation there they had Karius and Mignolet. They have had good goalkeepers, Dudek who won the Champions League of course, Pepe Reina, a good goalkeeper. But then Mignolet came in, he didn’t do very well, Karius, awful. So I get it, they identified Alisson as the one who could take them to the next level.
“Yes, by the way, he has made many ricks, which have cost them goals, but there have been games in which he has taken them out of the fire in which he has saved after saved. So it’s amazing that teams don’t say ‘you know what, let’s start with a goalie’. Let’s go out and spend £50-60m on a goalkeeper and let our luck change.’”

We would say that it is hard to say that Alisson has made “many” mistakes; there is no denying that he has made some, but he has done much more good in a Liverpool shirt than bad.
Although his appalling mistake during the FA Cup clash with Wolves recently allowed the visitors to open the scoring, he can be forgiven and luckily we saved an equalizer of the game after what was a rather mediocre performance.
The signing of Ali along with the arrival of Virgil van Dijk helped transform our defense and laid the foundation for a successful team that has won everything under Jurgen Klopp.
We certainly believe he is the best goalkeeper in the world and we are lucky to have him at the club.
