Thanks as always Ed. On Lammens, do you think he can grow into a top class keeper like Alison or Kurtua? I mean do you think he has so high celliing?

{Ed001's Note - I think he will be a very good, solid, reliable keeper but I don't see him growing into quite Alisson level. But, imo, Alisson is arguably the goat of keepers as he is the best of the new breed, so being a step down from him is still top class. I am not as high on Courtois - he is very good but nothing special imo. He is not good enough with his feet and his shotstopping is overrated. I would expect Lammens to be at least as good as him, probably better in the long term.

I love his attitude, he just gets on with it and doesn't seem phased by anything, which is a massive plus in big games.}

Exactly my thoughts, Ed, I think Alisson is the goat, at least of the new generation. His ability in one-on-one situations was massive for a Klopp team that went all-out in attack. On Lammens, I also like his attitude, he has a student's face, someone would think he goes to high school, and that makes us underestimate him.

Then you see that he is a student in a good way. He is not phased by anything, and he recovers quickly from the few mistakes he has made. I think we bought well here. Thanks again.

{Ed001's Note - I fully agree, you got a good un there. It did take a while before anyone was sure he was genuinely good, rather than just good compared to Onana though!}

Send too soon. I too think that Lammens is a better overall keeper than Donnarumma, or at least he can grow into one. I prefer the Belgian.

Oh, another thought, Ed. My fear was that he is only good compared to Onana and just solid, but he is really good. Then even Bayldir seems good compared to Onana.

{Ed001's Note - I think we all wondered. He didn't need to do a lot to be better than Onana!}
