Liverpool Football Club can today confirm the signing of Swindon Town teenager Jamie Stephens.

The 16-year-old goalkeeper will join the Academy until 2012 and is set to sign a professional contract on his 17th birthday.

The move follows a period training with the Reds earlier this season, after which Stephens said: "The Academy is unbelievable. They have so many staff, everyone is so polite, and kind, it's really friendly, like a family club."

So, Cavalieri is deffo going

No, we'll probably need him for when Rafa finally gets his full team of 11 goalkeepers.

yay another young keeper!

[Lecter]

Just as Uncle Tom predicted its looking like it will be a "big" summer in terms of transfers

[Baracus]

In 5 Years time, Rafa will change the whole outlook of football. Defensive mentality at its best. 10 Goalkeepers in net, we will be unstoppable. Zonal marking eat your heart out. We only need Torres upfront. A long throw out, a big kick. Back of the net.

How many goalkeepers do we have now?

11

Plenty of back-up then. So should all the current ten goalkeepers get injured then this lad Jamie Stephens will get a go? He must be thrilled to be Reina's understudy's understudy's understudy's etc understudy.

Cant see it myself

I'm sure Rafa would have a couple of holding midfielders in any side he put out

[Suarez]

Awesome news.

After all the **** this season, we've signed Jamie Stephens.

You see, every cloud has a silver lining.

[Tee]

Poor Jamie. YNWA lad.

We have sold Vitor Flora though!

Reserves forward Vitor Flora has today been transferred from Liverpool to Goiás Esporte Clube in Brazil.

The 20-year-old has struggled to make an impact for the second string since arriving on Merseyside in August 2008.

Isn't that the guy Rafa bought after watching YouTube?

We have sold Vitor Flora though!
