Caoimhín Kelleher

Maybe it's time to move Ali on while he's not perma-crocked.

But would Marmalade want to be 2nd choice behind Kelleher?

Kelleher is by far our best goalkeeper. I would move Ali on at the end of the season. The long named one can wait his turn

[S-RED]

I wonder if we went for Giorgi Mamardashvili because we felt Alisson wasn't reliable, injury wise.
Now a strange position...
.

I think the data guys smelt a bargain & signed him on that basis, with Kelleher moving on next summer.

Be interesting if Ali or Giorgi acccept the potential of the bench stints

Exactly what I'd want. Allison is awesome but hes getting injured way too often. And if I'm being honest I dont like the look of the new keeper we brought in. Kelleher might not be a big name but he plays like a keeper who costs 70-80mill. I'm pretty sure we'll get some joke amount for him and if he ends up at a different team in the league he's going to be a massive thorn to get passed.

Allison is 32. Kelleher 26. Last season Allison supposedly missed 19 games through injury. He's already missed 10 this season and we're only 12 games into it.

He should go to Bayern. Neuer has to be done there soon. Or do they have a decent back up ready?

He's not though.

At this stage, I'd consider selling Alisson if a bid of £50-£60m came in, but it would be pointless if Kelleher wasn't being given the guarantee of the No1 shirt. As it is there's no guarantee that Kelleher would stay so looks like we cash in on him, just hope that offer is more than the £20m mooted around

[Norbs]

He's not though.

I don't think Alisson improves at this stage of his career, but Kelleher is still improving. I think they are getting to the stage where it's very tough to choose between them

[rudedog]

He is the penalty king!


“Kelleher's record when facing penalties is quite remarkable.
In regular play he has saved four of the six spot-kicks he has faced for club and country.
And he holds the Liverpool club record for penalty shootout saves as well - stopping six kicks in four Carabao Cup ties.
On top of that, he has scored one - Liverpool's 11th kick in the 2022 EFL Cup final win over Chelsea.”

The only area Ali is better than Kweev, is his punted assists for Salah

[Doc_Piptorious]

Maybe he is leaving regardless. I think a deal may already be done

Said this a few times. He has made it clear to the club he wants a move in the summer. He had asked last summer and agreed to stay until either the January or next summer window. When Ali got injured that apparantly changed to next summer.


Kelleher himself has been pretty clear on the matter too. Usually when being interviewed by the Irish media. He does not shy away from saying he wants to be a number one and that he said to the club about a move away.

Nah. Alisson is maybe the best keeper in the world at present. At worst Ali is top two or three in the world.

Was a comment on Irish tv last night that nailed the difference between Ali and Kelleher for me.

What was said was Kelleher is fully capable of standing in for Ali when Ali is injured but when Ali is fully fit Kelleher is not at the level yet to displace Alisson

[Doc_Piptorious]

He should go to Bayern. Neuer has to be done there soon. Or do they have a decent back up ready?

That's a great shout. They do have a decent back up but he is 36 and their other keeper is a little younger than Kelleher but levels below Kelleher.


Kelleher's style of keeping is not all that dissimilar to that of Neuer either.

[BigChief]

I love Kweeve. Thank God we have him.
