Liverpool seem to be moving fast for AS Roma star Alisson as the Telegraph reports that we have bid £62million for the 25-year-old.
Alisson had been linked with a move away from Roma for a while and Anfield could turn out to be his next destination.
However, there was more to fuel the fire of Alisson turning up as a Red soon, as Twitter account The Redmen TV posted a screenshot of Alisson news from Gianluca Di Marzio and Liverpool goalkeeping coach John Achterberg liking the image.

A section of the Liverpool fans were quick to comment on the tweet but not about Alisson joining but that Achterberg should just stay away from Alisson at all costs.
The Reds have had their problems with goalkeepers in recent years and it seems they were venting out some of their frustration on Achterberg too.
#Alisson Achterberg is a huge bottleneck in our keepers failing to grow. We should be looking a replacement for @1JohnAchterberg to begin with.

I’d rather Alisson conduct his own training sessions than Another promising goalkeeper career be ruined at the hands of achterberg

Still like to see a new GK coach though ☹

Lets hope he doesn’t ruin him like every other goalkeeper we have had under him.

The goalkeepers career killer, John Achterberg. I honestly believe LFC should give that guy the sack.

He needs to steer well clear if we get him..

He’s probably thinking “finally somebody I’ll find difficult to make shit. But make him shit I will”
