Ed001, some brilliant articles this morning mate. It seems quiet post-war, so I have a bit of a double barrelled question for you on goal keepers.
I mean, we know the target to replace Mignolet, and compete with Karius is Navas. However, we don't know what is going on with the 3rd choice position.
Could Ward stay? If he leaves will we promote a youngster such as Grabara? If not, will we sign someone like Manninger? And if that is the case, which 3rd choice keepers are we interested in?
Okay, so more of a quadruple barrelled question! I have checked all the pages with the search function and found nothing though. If that is simply because the situation is still up in the air, then apologies for wasting your time.
{Ed001's Note - we are also keen on Pepe Reina as an alternative to Navas by the way. If Ward goes, as seems likely, we will look out for a 3rd keeper who can also work as a coach, but it is not seen as a priority. To be honest I think, and this is just an opinion, it will be left for now and Klopp will just take a chance on no injuries happening.}

Having reina back in the squad would be brilliant such a great personality. Question for ed001 tho i think I saw somewhere that achtherberg and pepe didn't get along? Not sure if this was true but more reinas poor form coincided with when actherberg came in?
{Ed001's Note - it was nothing to do with Achterberg, as such. Reina wanted out so I doubt any coach would have got much from him.}

Cheers for the fast and conclusive reply Ed001, mate. I agree with NOTSOZIPPY, you are normally slower to reply than a tortoise doped up on temazepan 😉
Appreciated as always.
{Ed001's Note - hey that's my line!}

'we will look out for a 3rd keeper who can also work as a coach'
Very interesting and somebody entered my mind for such a position, Buffon? would there be any chance? I can't see it happening but it's a nice thought, I think he'd be a brilliant coach.
{Ed001's Note - no chance mate.}

Would rather have Reina than Navas, at least Reina can still catch a ball.

I lost all respect for Buffon when he rallied Italy against Michael Oliver for a correct decision, and then failed to condemn the death threats he received from the 'teppisti disgustosi'. He was one of my all time favourites before that embarrassing scenario.
Reina worked a lot under Xavi Valero (the best goal keeper coach in the world in my opinion) so I wonder if he picked anything up and would be interested in progressing from back up keeper to coach. We know he loves the City enough to make it a long term home, even if he did embarrass himself with how he left last time!

“I came here to help the club and the club has helped me as well, †Neves told Sky Sports.
“I think we achieved all our goals, as an individual and as a team.
“It is normal as big clubs see our work, not just me but all the boys, but I am really happy here.
“I want to stay here and I want to enjoy the Premier League with this fantastic club. â€
Quote from Ruben Neves yesterday.
By the way. He already is playing for a Champions league manager. Up the Wolves!
{Ed001's Note - mate you have got the wrong player. Navas not Neves.}

Reina over Navas any day of the week.

I was under the understanding that Reina had agreed to join AC next season.

I think Reina's only joining Milan if he gets to be first choice (i. e. Donnarumma leaving) .

Reina is still one of the best in Italy. Vastly expeienced, He is a true leader at the back! His distribution is top class and Napoli plays high line. He would fit in brilliantly at Liverpool.
