    Some good news for the run in
    Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.

    Comment


      Will be like 5 new signings

      Though I'm not sure how many walk straight into the first team

        Probably only Ali tbh but we’d have a much stronger bench

          Aye, many times that you would look at the bench where there are youngsters, roll your eyes & say christ almighty but now... the opposition will be looking over to see who's not in the squad & say thank god!
          Nope, don't need anger management, you just need to stop pissing me off!

              Not sure he should walk back into the team. Caoimhin has been outstanding

                Of course he has but Ali is still our No 1 until he doesn’t deserve it.

                  As good an experience as it’s been for the kids I’ll feel better looking to an experienced bench if we need a goal or whatever.

                    Let’s not get carried away here! Kelleher has been amazing, but Ali is probably the best goalkeeper on the world

                      It's a tough one because there's literally been no drop off since Kelleher has come in.

                      What footballing reason would we have to switch back now?

                        There’s no way Ali is going to warm the bench & he’ll be off in the summer if we bench him IMO. If Ali continues to get injured there’s a chance we could look to sell him after next season or offer him the No2 role maybe

                          And one could level the same argument with Kelleher except he's got 6 years on Ali (and he's homegrown!)

                            And probably a lot of cake!

                              Don't think one could make the same arguement for Kelleher. He is doing very well and looking the part for us.

                              However Alisson is the best keeper in the game and even if people wanted to debate that the very worst he is is being in the top two or three.

                              Kelleher on the other hand is not a best in the world level keeper, he is not a top 10 in the world level keeper.


                              Alisson is fit he starts every single time over Kelleher.

                              Alisson for some reason has to go and the level of guy needed to replace him full time (if we wanted to continue having a guy seen as best/one of the best on the world) is still probably going to be better than Kelleher.

                              None of that is a knock on Kelleher in any way, just that imo Alisson is a top of the mountain level guy and 99% of the top leagues level goalkeepers in the game are below him
                              I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

                                every league game anyway. Happy to give kelleher both cups for now, to keep him fresh/happy. Or maybe he’ll give kelleher the Europa, and use Ali for the league and FA cup….
