It’s not Mascherano putting pen to paper, and everything I wrote on Friday still holds, but at £6.5m, this will be Liverpool’s most expensive signing in defense.
It is also a position where Liverpool needed strengthening before the injuries to Agger and then Hyypia, and probably had to do it during this transfer period.
And spending £6m+ on a 23-year old defender who’s one for the long-term and will probably be handled like Agger was in his first season (and getting the deal done a week into the transfer window) seems to demonstrate that Rafa’s still planning for the future, and he’s being supported by the board.
We’re not out of the woods yet in regards to manager vis-à-vis management, but this is a welcome step.
Plus, just take a look at the fella. Yikes.

im a HUGE fan of this move. the russian league is probably the most underrated in the world, and he is one of the better young stars over there. i mean i wouldve preferred kompany but its still a good signing.
with him, agger, and hobbs, we look solid for when sami and carra hang up the boots
