Congratulations Adam Bogdan.
The Hungarian goalkeeper has fulfilled the dreams of millions and signed for Liverpool today. He may be spending most of his time on the bench, but it’s still a considerable achievement to make it to one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Unfortunately for Bogdan, Twitter weren’t as forthcoming in congratulating him on his move.
Most were stumped by the logic of what is effectively an upgrade on former Liverpool keeper Brad Jones.
Signing a goalkeeper because he's better than Brad Jones is not setting sights particularly high. #bogdan.

Goalkeepers with no real competition just get worse. Szczesny proved that. Mignolet needs REAL competition. Bogdan is not that. #LFC

Others weren’t too familiar with the Hungary number one.

Bogdan, Milner and Ings sound like the baddies from Fantastic Mr Fox.

For others though, it was too much and a defining moment in the club’s history. All hope is lost, there’s no point in playing next season and Bill Shankly is surely spinning in his grave.

A few had a more reasoned view about a second choice goalkeeper signing on a free-transfer.

Can't knock signing Bogdan, better than Jones, no point eating into the wage bill for a world class back up keeper is there.
