What goalkeepers are potentially available as targets for LFC this January?

In your opinion eds, who would be the best option to bring in?

{Ed002's Note - Ruddy is certainly an option. Chances of Valdez were blown. Others are freebies for next summer.}

Ruddy would be a massive mistake.

Dear god not Ruddy please, I'd rather Brad Jones until summer instead.

Ed, can I be so bold as to ask for more info on what exactly happened with Valdes? What was said or done by whom? I tried but couldn't find out about it anywhere. Would appreciate as much (discreet as you always are) insight as you can give.

Thanks a billion! :)

{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant.}

Living in Norfolk I see quite a bit of Ruddy,he has three good matches then two dodgy ones definitely not the answer !

Suarez showed Ruddy's lack of quality time and time again.

Hi edz do you have any news on the possibility of signing cech? Loan or permenant?

{Ed002's Note - The club would like him to stay through to the summer but Cech wants to be playing. Enquiries have been made by Monaco, Real Madrid (who have moved their attention elsewhere), AC Milan, Roma (whose Morgan De Sanctis has signed a new deal) and Arsenal.}

Valdez and Ruddy are both as poor as the keepers we already have, I'd hope our alleged committee have more sense than to waste more money on either of those two.

How about Begovic?

Is he looking for a move?

I'd target Sergio Romero in January and Karius in the summer as no2. I doubt Mignolet can come back as no1 and be fully trusted. Selling him in the summer makes more sense, he would make us more money than both Romero and Karius would cost together. Romero would be cheap in January and Loris Karius would be free in the summer. Both are low risk, Karius has the potential to go far.

Hi eds.

A few media outlets are reporting today that we're going in for Bony in Jan. I could believe this, if we were to offload Borini and maybe Ballotelli. Guessing he'll cost more than we could have paid for him in the summer.

Can you shed any light on this?

{Ed002's Note - I cannot see Swansea wanting to sell after Bony signed a new contract. And he will be off at the ACN.}

I agree with ed that ship has now sailed

If we could get him to hand in a transfer request and push through the move it will be hard for Swansea to keep hold of him.

{Ed002's Note - That would be tapping up.}

Eds prob a ridiculous question but with rafa looking on the brink at napoli would we look to him as caretaker if he were to be sacked, before looking to de boer (or whoever) in the summer. Although i wasnt loving him before he left he certainly made us difficult to beat and was decent in the european cups, also did a decent job at chelsea. I know it would seem a step in the wrong direction but the ship needs to be steadied.

{Ed001's Note - I know some sections of the media are suggesting it, and Rafa is desperate to come back himself, but there is still a number of influential people within the club who would be dead set against him coming back. All love Rafa as a man, but very few think he is the right man to move us forward, for similar reasons to it having been a mistake to let Kenny try his hand at caretaker manager.}

Rafa will not excite a lot here who wants X to play over Y and Z over Q. His squad rotation is famous. He might also bring Bennayon with him from retirement.
Do you want him here?
