Ed's not sure if my last post when on but just seen Allison expected out 4-8weeks . Is looking at a free transfer an option to bring in as back up to Adrian?

Such a blow mate not what we needed. Do you think Adrian will do ok?

{Ed001's Note - for that short a period? Why would we do that? Kelleher is fine as back up.}

Good point, thought he was injured also though. No way Lonergan gets some sort of deal!

He's back in training as far as I know.

He was warming up with Allison and Adrian last night.

Got to give the nod to Kelleher. You can't hold him back at the club as 3rd choice and then relegate him to 4th choice because of a 4-8 week injury. That would be obsurd.

He's just started training after breaking his hand and he's very young but obviously goal keepers breaking their hand isn't a good injury remember the trajectory of karius after he did his. 3rd choice GK has to be able to play if the 1st choice is injured because he's in after a red or another injury, I know they're unlikely last season we had none to the GK but still.

Kelleher is recoveringfrom hand surgery isn't he?

{Ed0333's Note - wrist surgery make of that what you will.

virgil looking for any opportunity for a signing of some sort lol :p

trust the squad. I imagine if we loat Ali and the one of the backups for the season then we'd be looking to bring someone in.

OP, why would we sign another backup for the backup of the backup to Allisson?

Usually teams have 3 senior goalkeepers.

Lonergan would make sense because if Adrian were to get an injury or red card we'd be in trouble. Kelliher only broke his wrist in the summer and is far from recovered, imagine a situation where we were forced to use an inexperienced keeper who's wrist is injured, could cost us our season

Lonergan is 35 and free agent, he wouldn't be taking a big salary so a 1 year contract would be smart even if he never played a game. Manninger, doni, Jones in the past were used in this role.
