Jorg Schmadtke has already signed perfect Liverpool defender By utilising his contacts at former club VfL Wolfsburg, Jorg Schmadtke could hand Liverpool one of the defensive bargains of the summer
How much for Kelleher? Looks like he'll move on to get more game time and good luck to him but we've seen him develop into a really good keeper, great technical ability, good shot stopper, decent with his feet and more importantly he keeps his head when something goes wrong (so many go to pieces). Can't let him go on the cheap I think he could get straight into a top half PL team.
I think the ROI situation is irrelevant, he's 24 and I think a very good keeper with huge potential. I'd go as far as to say I'd like to keep him to replace Alisson in a couple of years. I disagree with you and @RogerisontheHunt in that he's a bit average.
He's played 5 PL games so what that equates to fee wise, I don't know. Keepers are notoriously under priced imo.
At 24 he's got time on his side as well, we have to replace him as well or we go back to Adrian and nobody wants that..
Harvey Davies is only 19 but a real talent and highly rated. If the coaches think he could step up for cup games then he could be Kelleher's replacement.
fair enough but I do think the Irish no 1 Jersey will be in his mind and the Wales lad was really demanding neco williams move and he did. I'd not rule out that it's a part of what's in kellehers mind. but honestly, I'd put kellehr along side karius for shot stopping. alisson is the best of any lfc keeper I've ever seen so I am not comparing kelleher to him. I really think the lad has his strengths but I don't see the real core of keeping as where they are at. I'm watching Harvey Davies coming up for a real monster of a keeper coming through here and would be content to say in a couple years alisson will still be going very strong, he's only 30!! Davies is 19. kelleher is 24. by the time big Al is 35 Davies will be really ready to go as will pitaluga but kellehr will be 29. my opinion is if the fee is right (as klopp has said) then let him go be the Ireland no 1 at a mid table team
shrugs. where ever it is he's lost a massive wage there so if they've terminated on mutual consent then mane must have something worked out 250k a week walked away from
At last, Liverpool has activated the release clause of Alexis Mac Aliister and full agreement has been reached.
Agree I think he walks into most teams in the prem. think Brighton or Brentford would been perfect for him as have to be so good with your feet to play in those teams. Id hope we get upwards of £20m for him and think would be a fair price on both sides. Could well be a solid prem keeper for 10 years so a decent investment. Can’t blame him for wanting to move at this point in his career.
Saints paid £12m rising to £15m to city for Bazuna who had less prem experience than kelleher and is competing for ROI jersey. He didn’t look great and out of the 2 Kelleher looks far better keeper. Kelleher also has lots of cup experience as well as making a name for himself in pens
