BIG DECISIONS RE: PLAYERS - SOME SPECULATIVE FUN

[SkipRat]

I would like a team made up of the Ant Hill Mob.

Not having seen him all that much I would just be afraid that because he’s already in the premier league at a top club it would take a premium price to get him. If it was worth it then yes for sure. From what I’ve seen he definitely looks more secure than Vicario under high crosses etc and would hopefully have a more calming effect on our defending. Presumably you saw his recent howler v Greece? That wouldn’t go down well here

Made up for that howler tonight. Super penalty save and up quick for the follow up.

I want them gone because there is no fight. The lack of leadership from both is appalling.

I don't think we fix the issues with leadership by selling the players who have been rated internally as the best leaders. Perhaps we need to add someone else, but we need leadership from more people. We're probably losing Son in a year or two.

That's a lot of experience and leadership (though perhaps not great leadership) to be losing and replacing.

He is excellent. His all-round game is good. Liverpool haven't noticed losing Allison, who is one of the top keepers in the world.

He wants out of Liverpool and he will have one year left on his contract at the end of the season, so it won't be that big a price to get him. The bigger issue is who else will want him.

And yes, seen the howler, trying to forget it, alongside forgetting most games Ireland have played in recently. He's usually Irelands best player, unusual mistake but will happen for every keeper that plays out from the back at some stage, even Edison and Allison have done it.

It had completely passed me by that Liverpool have signed Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia (joining next summer)....so Kelleher must be motivated to leave, he'll be stuck as back up again.

I'd say it's Liverpool replacing Kelleher. Allison will still be their no 1, although he does seem to be starting to pick up injuries. Either way they'll have at least 2 top keepers if not 3.

He has wanted to leave for a number pf years now and the signing will just add to his motivation like you say
