David James Weighs in on Goalkeeper Shift…
Former Liverpool great David James thinks Giorgi Mamardashvili might soon be shining brighter than Alisson Becker. With Mamardashvili’s fee potentially hitting $39 million, that’s a bill even higher than my kitchen remodel dreams. Mamardashvili was loaned back to Valencia after initially being signed but played during preseason while Alisson handled some personal matters. Alisson has been Liverpool’s star goalie but his scattered injury record could make James’ prediction more like a ticking clock.
Liverpool sold backup Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford for $24 million, trusting Mamardashvili to be a stellar replacement—he’s practically a ninja in goal! The 24-year-old with Georgia’s national team on his resume has been a sensation in La Liga. Although everyone knows Alisson’s fantastic track record for Liverpool, the journeyman keeper might find it hard to reclaim his spot if Giorgi packs his goalie gloves with surprise skills and an extra bit of magic dust!
