Hi Eds. Do you know if we hold any interest in Kerkez? Impresses me every time I watch him, and looks like the one left back we should be targeting from PL. Is impressive defensively and decent going forward.
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Milos Kerkez (LWB) Only joined in the summer of 2023 after picking Bournemouth over Lazio for game time. Down the list for Chelsea who have a much preferred target. Manchester United have been sending scouts. Potential Robertson replacement for Liverpool.}
27 Jul 2023 17:21:44
Bradley omitted from the Singapore squad. Most likely a loan for him, it seems.
1.) 27 Jul 2023 17:49:09
Bit of an odd move. Unless someone like Llorente is coming in.
2.) 27 Jul 2023 17:53:40
Must be going for Llorente then if that's the case? No chance we lose both him and Ramsay out on loan without a back up. Gomez is not a sufficient back up.
3.) 27 Jul 2023 18:15:58
Just signed him to a new deal, often signals an upcoming loan out.
4.) 27 Jul 2023 18:26:31
Ed’s do you have an idea why we are potentially loaning him out? Surely leaves us a bit shorter in that area even more so?
{Ed001's Note - makes no sense.}
5.) 27 Jul 2023 18:46:37
My guess is we buy someone like Pavard. Disappointed though as Bradley looks a good option.
6.) 27 Jul 2023 18:58:05
Not travelling because of minor injury.
7.) 27 Jul 2023 19:13:38
Apparently he has an injury nothing serious just enough to keep him out of the next few games.
8.) 27 Jul 2023 19:44:38
I know bolton really really would like him on loan again.
9.) 27 Jul 2023 19:45:48
Thiago, Baj and Fab haven’t travelled with the squad either.
Obviously the first 2 are still in rehab and looks like
fab deal must be close.
10.) 27 Jul 2023 22:46:47
Maybe sitting on a Llorente or Kimmich deal until we get the Lavia deal over the line?
11.) 28 Jul 2023 08:45:02
Obviously, it's never good when a player is injured, but I'm relieved that is the reason he's not in the squad. Hoping to see him get some games under his belt for Liverpool this season.
12.) 28 Jul 2023 12:00:29
He's not going anywhere he's staying in Liverpool for treatment. No point an injured player traveling thousands of miles when he could be doing physio.
29 May 2023 11:16:42
Has anyone actually seen Ugarte play regularly to know how he will fit into our team, if he were to join. Because I have seen a lot of disappointment over not being able to sogn him, but I really want to know was it worth it evenif Klopp didn't tap him up. I don't really trust in stats that much, because they could have many different interpretations?
{Ed002's Note - Ugarte is not moving to Liverpool.}
1.) 29 May 2023 12:04:56
Why do people keep going on about ugarte ed2 has explained over and over
He’s not coming neither is Bellingham, let’s just see who arrives and some good ole rumours.
2.) 29 May 2023 12:45:25
Fatwallet I was trying to make the same point. A lot pf people are clamouring fpr his signature which Ed002 has already told will not happen. I just want to know why the clamour?
3.) 29 May 2023 13:11:43
Cheers mate it wasn’t meant to knock your question just a genetic answer
I’m the same as all on here just got to wait and see and trust ed2 and other posters, what will be will be.
07 Dec 2017 10:05:39
Hey eds02,
Perr Schuurs has signed for AJAX. What did LFC do to scupper the deal this time?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Perr Schuurs had four firm offers and decided the one which would suit his career best.}
1.) 07 Dec 2017 10:16:49
Fair play to the lad for showing a humbleness that too many young players don't have. He looked very likely to sign for us at one stage, but who can blame him for going for first team football over money? Respect.
2.) 07 Dec 2017 10:33:30
we weren't offering him first team football, i think he made the best choice, assuming he gets his chances to play, but im sure he will.
25 Jun 2015 03:54:53
Hey eds are the pako rumours true?
If yes the Imo it would be great.
Thanks and keep up the good work :-D
{Ed001's Note - he is certainly under consideration at least. Though it would be a strange step as an assistant after he has had success in management recently. He is a Liverpool fan though, after all he was the one who talked Rafa into taking the Liverpool job initially. To be honest though, right now no one but FSG knows what is really going on and people are just guessing.}
1.) 25 Jun 2015 07:56:06
Hi Eds is Rodgers job still currently under review? Are has he been given time to turn things around?
{Ed002's Note - It really isn't like that - I have spent the entire season explaining and still you just can't see it.}
2.) 25 Jun 2015 09:11:26
Ed002 has continuously said that FSG will do what is in the best interest of the club. Clearly they have not and will not say anything until they feel the need too but the silence from the club and Rodgers is very odd so we shall have to wait and see. It is like Ed001 suggests, a guessing game.
3.) 25 Jun 2015 09:22:46
so is it as you suspected and a DOF is being brought in, effectively relieving Rodgers of a lot of control ? If so, i then presume he's accepted it and agreed to work under this kind of structure ?
Wonder who made the call on these latest transfers then
All very interesting, could even speculate that Rodgers has been potted and someone is instructing under the radar. Pure conspiracy theory stuff that though, but here's hoping. I'm less skeptical of Rodgers then most on here but if it were for Klopp .
{Ed002's Note - You are simply making this stuff up.}
4.) 25 Jun 2015 11:26:30
What has this nonsense got to do with anything? Rodgers has actually been given MORE say in the transfer dealings. I suppose aliens built the pyramids and Elvis killed JFK?
5.) 25 Jun 2015 12:12:38
Kev, it's actually the other way round ;-)
6.) 25 Jun 2015 10:42:43
Try and be kind ed002 the kids get a bit excited at times like this lol
7.) 25 Jun 2015 14:15:36
What, elvis built the pyramids ?
8.) 25 Jun 2015 15:09:32
No, silly - the aliens built JFK.
9.) 25 Jun 2015 18:26:56
Course I was making it up, that's why I said conspiracy theory stuff. But Rodgers has disappeared off the face of the planet. I remember last summer he was always commenting on players we bought. Started with lambert in very early June. A dof structure is very possible.
10.) 25 Jun 2015 22:28:30
Well thank dog somebody has told Rodgers to shut his piehole, although I think he's only disappeared off the face of your planet, whichever one it may be that you're on. I think we would know if a DoF had been employed by LFC, unless it's the invisible guy with the radioactive superpowers again, he does get around.

Ian Doyle reporting that a deal had been agreed in principle for Gordon and Gomez, with LFC paying 75mn for gordon, and Newcastle paying 45mn for Gomez. I think it would have been a pretty good deal, in fairness with the valuations being suitable for both clubs. Also, if Sepp VdB indeed establishes himself, then it is hard to see how Gomez will get to play, unless Robertson has another injury-plagued season. While I like Joe a lot, it owuld have made a lot fo sense for him. Gordon also seems to be a more clinical and direct forward than our current left wingers, but I do feel that if he came we would definitely have to sell Diaz.
1.) 31 Jul 2024 15:18:00
It's a recycled story from pre 30 June according to many other sources.
Newcastle satisfied PSR with the Minteh sale so no longer need to take that deal.
Not sure why it's surfacing now, maybe the facts weren't know at the time.
I'd still take it, but not sure it's on the table any more.
2.) 31 Jul 2024 15:32:08
I don’t think it will be the last of it Gordon has definitely had his head turned.
3.) 31 Jul 2024 16:59:36
If Joe Gomez goes Newcastle and scores on his Debut I’m done with football ?.
{Ed025's Note - strange things can happen when a player moves to a new club LFC8, ....but not miracles, joe will never score mate because he has got feet like otters tails..
4.) 31 Jul 2024 17:06:55
Only two years left on his contract and his club know he's probably going to turn down any new deal offered and he wants to play for his boyhood club.
5.) 31 Jul 2024 19:50:45
I honestly think it's a mistake selling gomez. His versatility is so rare in football and while he's not world class in any position he is an able back up in all of them.
Does SVDB qualify as homegrown ed002?
{Ed002's Note - No.}
6.) 31 Jul 2024 22:18:14
LiverpoolFC8 - I’ll take it if his debut is against Man Utd.
7.) 01 Aug 2024 09:04:20
I thought VDB would be HG as he was registered when he was 17 with us so has had 3 years pre 21st bday?
8.) 31 Jul 2024 23:30:44
Sorry Ed002; I asked the same question in SVDB being homegrown a few weeks ago and I’m sure you said he would be?
He had a season with us and then 2 seasons with Preston by the time he was 21 so I thought he might just qualify?
{Ed002's Note - He is HG but diod not join at 17 - he left in 2022. The no was to the "bad idea to sell Gomez". He wants to be playing regularly.}
9.) 01 Aug 2024 11:15:50
Ah OK, thanks for clarifying Ed002.
25 Jul 2024 10:22:50
Stumbled upon some highlights of our peak years under Klopp 2018-2020, and got to say, we used to be incredibly good at that time. Trent and Robbo bombing forward like crazy, Mane and Salah terrorizing full backs, and Firmino just adding that touch of flair. So glad that I got to witness this phase.
Also, came to know that the longest winning streak records in PL history:
1. City/ Liverpool - 18 each
2. Liverpool - 17
3. City - 16
And then City with many more of over 12, and Arsenal and Utd too with one 14 and 12 each. Really shows how good we were at that time, and more importantly what a behemoth this City side is. I don't really enjoy seeing them play too much, but boy do they know how to win.
1.) 25 Jul 2024 11:52:23
Nice one, thekoparmy. IMO, we were absolutely breathe-taking at times. We would take teams to the woodshed for fun during that span playing some of the best football I will ever see my club play.
In fact if you take it back one season (17/ 18 season), we were insane at times esp. in transition. I mean, near every team got the business whether in the PL or CL (City got battered in 3 out of 4 games we played them that season) .
It was heart-breaking the way we lost to Madrid in the final cos near everything went against us and in hindsight with the way that game played out, maybe it wasn't our time BUT my golly, what a ride that season was as a whole. Those 3 seasons (17 to 20) for me, were our time and was legendary. Best team on the planet, for me.
2.) 25 Jul 2024 12:13:49
You’re not wrong there KopArmy. Unbelievable team, but watching City is so Boring.
3.) 25 Jul 2024 13:05:15
And that’s when Trent was at his best not playing in this ridiculous inverted role, I definitely weakened the threat we provided.
4.) 25 Jul 2024 17:25:43
Yeah Oli. Entertainment wise we were even better in 2017-18, when as you say we were simply breathtaking in transition. But it always felt like an unsustainable strategy to win a league title. And then we got Virgil, who proceeded to have the most dominant spell of football I have ever seen any footballer have. Teams simply stopped attacking us from the left, and even if they did you knew (and more importantly, they knew) that there's no chance they are going to get past him. I know others might have different preferences, but this is the reason why, unarguably for me, Virgil is simply the best player I have seen. His peak was just something else.
22 Jun 2024 10:21:39
thekoparmy has written an article entitled, Comments On England And Trent
1.) 22 Jun 2024 10:58:56
26 man squad and 1 left footed defender who is injured. Could have brought Mitchell from palace. Trippier cuts in and Foden cuts in so
Nobody on left it’s pathetic, never seen worse management ever.
2.) 22 Jun 2024 11:08:11
Colonel while on the other hand, The Waist Coat selects about 3 or 4 players who can ALL play right back. Make sense of that, if you dare.
3.) 22 Jun 2024 11:11:18
Waist Coat loves right backs Oli.
4.) 22 Jun 2024 11:41:07
Well apparently to a lot on here Gomez was outstanding at Left back so what’s the issue?♂️.
5.) 22 Jun 2024 12:06:29
You know it, SR. Gomez, Trent, Trippier, Walker and pretty sure if I looked harder, I would find a couple more. Oh wait, Konsa from Villa so that's 5.
Still digging, tho cos there's a 6th one somewhere in that unbalanced squad of his.
6.) 22 Jun 2024 12:11:37
But Gomez is obviously not in GS plans and only there as an emergency! Has he got to that stage yet, only he knows? If I see Trent playing a double pivot with Rice again, I know GS days are numbered.
7.) 22 Jun 2024 12:57:51
How’s he not in Southgate’s plans? Gomez made the squad didn’t he? I mean he’s not there to carry the kit and if both LBs are unavailable, isn’t that an emergency?
8.) 22 Jun 2024 13:30:17
Southgate is not going to be England manager for another major tournament cycle anyway Keith. I think he'll quit if he's not sacked.
9.) 22 Jun 2024 14:15:18
Isn’t it an emergency if tripper is playing!
10.) 22 Jun 2024 15:53:30
Or a miracle if Shaw plays - he is still training on his own. Real waste of space on the bus. Mind you he isn’t much better when he isn’t injured.
11.) 22 Jun 2024 17:29:27
I thought Southgate had a contract waiting for him to sign. It's up to him to decide to walk away. I don't think he'll sign but the worrying thing is the England hierarchy don't see what 99% of everyone else does.
Can't wait for him to rock up at Old Trafford as the ETH replacement in December.
30 Nov 2023 23:18:03
I would really like to give a shout out to the work being done at the academy since the past decade or so. Earlier, most of the players that came through (like Flanagan, and Spearing), while no disrespect to them, they didn't really look like people who could be PL regulars. However, now we seem to producing much better talent. We have Trent and Curtis who are obviously first teamers.
Then there's Kelleher, who could be a starting keeper for a PL club. And now, we have Bradley, Chambers, and Quansah who all seem to pass the eye test in the very least and look like guys who could potentially have long careers with us. There's also Morton, and I hope I am not forgetting anyone else. And this is not including the guys we got from other academies before applying the finishing touches like Elliott, Bajcetic, and Doak. It's always great to see academy players getting a chance, and I hope long this may continue.
1.) 01 Dec 2023 18:30:06
Hear, hear. Finally a voice from the majority (judging by the number of likes) . Was getting sick and tired of reading how pathetic our academy is and how we scrounge around for players from other academies.
2.) 01 Dec 2023 20:51:41
Good timing on this post with the announcement that N. Irish international Conor Bradley has just signed a new long-term deal with the Reds. He looked confident and assured the other night in his second half cameo against LASK. High hopes for the lad!
3.) 01 Dec 2023 22:29:41
Also think of the revenue they have generated.
4.) 02 Dec 2023 09:58:17
KingCarlos - what revenue have they generated?
What do we consider our academy prospects? Quansah and Chambers have been here since early teens. Bradley and Baj arrived as late teens. Do they all count as what we’d consider as our academy developed players?
5.) 02 Dec 2023 17:47:37
Quansah will be a top top centre back, we are so lucky to have him coming thru, I wonder who he is thought to replace, Matip, or VVD, my thinking is Matip first, then VVD, in a couple of seasons, he is that good .
04 Nov 2023 19:23:06
I can't really believe it's not corruption at this point. How that goal stood is beyond my comprehension. Such a joke.
1.) 04 Nov 2023 19:39:35
Arsenal should just get over it.
That's what we were told after the Spurs game, at least.
2.) 04 Nov 2023 20:01:10
It's a disgrace and an embarrassment.
Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Arteta is a disgrace. Not just because of what happened today, but because of his style of getting his players to cheat to get an advantage
Was it a disgrace that Havertz didn't get sent off, was it a disgrace that Vieira goes down holding his face after being pushed in the shoulder?
Football is becoming a game of moaners and groaners who throw their toys out of the cot at every opportunity that goes against them.
I can understand why the goal was given, there is no way that any of those incidents were clear cut in terms of being dissallowed.
3.) 04 Nov 2023 20:02:32
Looked miles out I thought.
4.) 04 Nov 2023 20:21:22
It looked miles out to me too. But the biggest joke was the Guimaraes assault on Jorginho. If I do that to someone on the street, it might very well get me booked. But he somehow escapes any card.
5.) 04 Nov 2023 20:30:57
Was extremely tough that.
It did look out but it’s not the best camera angle. Newcastle fans say it’s not a foul whilst arsenal fans will say it was.
The offside was tight but they didn’t draw lines.
I thought Guimeraes should have been sent off more than Havertz for his elbow off the ball.
The Havertz tackle if his lead foot takes the player is dangerous and red but it’s his trail foot that makes contact and you see about 20 of them a game every weekend in grass roots.
Players are too pampered and cry babies these days. As little as 20 years ago when tackles were allowed it’s hardly like there were career ending tackles happening regularly.
6.) 04 Nov 2023 20:49:44
They all had a chance to call it out after the spurs game and make a concerted effort to change things. They backed the officials and you reap what you sow.
7.) 04 Nov 2023 21:11:45
Arsenal looked crap to me tonight.
8.) 04 Nov 2023 21:32:20
The whole of the ball over the whole of the line. Didn’t see conclusive proof to show otherwise. Arteta a disgrace as per.
9.) 04 Nov 2023 21:36:14
Lots of talking points in that game and yet again the officials are the stars of the show.
The ball looked out but without a camera directly above the ball it’s impossible to say with any certainty that it was. In that case VAR has to go with the on field decision.
Was it a foul? Another subjective decision and the ref didn’t give it and it was clear and obvious so they can’t give it.
The offside is the one Arsenal should be most aggrieved with. Raya is passed Gordon so the only defender in between him and the goal is Gabriel. Then you have to see if Gordon is in front of the ball when it comes off Joelinton. The only camera angle VAR have is behind Joelinton so they can’t see the ball to put lines up so they give the goal.
For me you can clearly see that Gordon’s knee is ahead of Joelinton so has to be ahead of the ball which renders him offside. The ball comes off Joelinton’s left thigh so it’s not too difficult to work out where the ball is. But I suppose if the can’t see it they can’t give it.
It will be compared to the Diaz goal but the officials have given the decision they thought was right at the time. As we all know with Diaz’s goal they gave the correct decision and failed to see it implemented. Totally different scenario.
As others have said though, suck it up Arsenal that’s what we were told and ours was a million times worse than that.
10.) 04 Nov 2023 21:36:45
The Havertz "tackle " had the potential to be a career ender. Off the ground, straight leg, and studs showing, red card all day every day.
11.) 04 Nov 2023 21:52:56
WYred, I said the same thing after our Spurs game. I was sure farcical decisions would continue, and they have, and more will come before the season is over.
The goal should have been disallowed because the ball certainly looked like it had gone out. In earlier seasons they were using both vertical and horizontal lines for judging offsides, with little regard to the angle of the shot. If they had done that here, they could have confirmed the ball was out. The "circumference of the ball" nonsense spouted is just to placate the fans. Even Dermot Gallagher stated that the ball was out post match. And the foul by Guimaeres was pure assault. He got to Jorginho so much later after the ball had already been passed off, that I still don't understand that non-call even now. And how do you land on a player's head with forearm and elbow when you're not even in the air and there is no momentum carrying you forward with that arm action, other than your intentions to inflict pain?
12.) 04 Nov 2023 22:13:33
Something Red, exactly. We warned them about this. We warned those Arsenal fans telling us to suck it up and keep it moving or better yet, "cry more" but they wouldn't listen. So they should take their own advisce and do the very same things they told LFC to do when we were fihhting for justice and transparency.
That said, the officiating was a shambles on both sides. How Guimaraes and Havertz finished that game, I will never understand. As for Arteta, I am hoping he will be getting the same treatment as Klopp got for berating the officials. His GK is worse than Ramsdale and Havertz is a dud. His tactics and inability to change things up? No comment.
And frankly, Arsenal did not deserve to win the game cos they did not take enuff risks. Newcastle were not good either BUT they went for it continuously and as they say, fortune favors the brave.
13.) 04 Nov 2023 23:33:12
The ball wasn’t out and Havertz wasn’t a red, he caught him with his trailing foot that wasn’t high. Football has gone far too soft if people think that’s a red. There will be no contact soon.
14.) 05 Nov 2023 07:15:11
I love the idea of being booked for assaulting someone in the street Koparmy ?.
15.) 05 Nov 2023 08:11:53
Mikel Arteta after Liverpool had a rightful goal disallowed v Spurs:
“They are trying to make the best decisions. We need to understand that mistakes happen. ” ?
Karma is a bitch!
16.) 05 Nov 2023 08:41:23
Arteta and Arsenal fans need to think about how annoyed they are right now with that goal being given.
Then they need to imagine that the VAR had said the ball was out and it’s no goal but miscommunicated that to the ref and the goal was mistakenly given.
Then the VAR has sat there and said ‘I can’t do anything’ knowing that an illegal goal had just been given.
Then and only then can they come close to what happened to us at Spurs.
{Ed001's Note - you forgot about all the other fans then telling them to stop whining and that it is only Arsenal so who cares?}
17.) 05 Nov 2023 08:50:38
Mark, Havertz could have been sent off for a second yellow on his challenge on Wilson where he gets the ball BUT cleans him out. Bruno should have been sent off at least twice over as well hence, my view that both should/ could have been sent off.
18.) 05 Nov 2023 09:10:55
Oh the irony. We were all told to “pipe down and get on with it” because mistakes happen after the Spurs VAR debacle. Now subjective decisions with and understandable reasoning as to why the goal wasn’t disallowed and Arteta is embarrassed to be playing in this league. Maybe when every club in the league feels as aggrieved as we did a few weeks back they will realise a bit of solidarity could have made a difference when it mattered at objectively one of the worst decisions made in the premier league era.
In the meantime I look forward to telling Arsenal fans, and fans of any other team on the recovering end going forward to “pipe down and get on with it. ”.
19.) 05 Nov 2023 13:22:19
So I have actually watched it back and I think you can make an argument for the refs and how they got to the decision.
The ball ‘going our’ looks out on some angles and in on others. There is no conclusive proof so you need to stick with the officials.
The foul isn’t given due to the way the Arsenal defender goes down. He exaggerates the move calling into question the force of the challenge. Side note on this, MOTD whine about slowing things down, then proceed to slow it down to back up Keown.
And the offside the ball appears to go backwards.
All are subjective decisions imo and it then comes down to the bar for clear and obvious. But nothing to warrant Artetas rant. Mere mistakes or different opinions.
As for the other decisions;
Havertz maybe should of gone but he was saved by where he made impact.
Bruno knows exactly what he was doing with the elbow and just got a way with it. On another day either of these could be red.
However this all comes down to managers and pundits putting aside their allegiance and calling it as it is. Until the Howes and Artetas come out and give a balanced view nothing will improve as one side will always be happy so the PGMOL don’t get the scrutiny they deserve.
20.) 05 Nov 2023 14:05:15
Ed01, you can add the incompetent Vincent Kompany to the list of managers who said what Arteta said after the PGMOL awarded Spurs the points vs us. He said the same thing and then, last wee he was crying about how he did not understand why VAR did not award his team the goal where Jay Rodriguez was judged to be offside. Trust me, they will ALL get what's coming to them for making self-serving comments like that.
And you know who I am most waiting for? The media hyped Ange Postecoglu who said the same thing after the Spurs heist, sticking the boot in and lecturing us to just accept that mistakes will be made, suck it up and move on. We will see what he comes out with when this happens to him cos we all know it will.
28 Aug 2024 18:28:01
He is training with he first team from what I have seen. It's just that he hasn't made the bench yet for us.
14 Aug 2024 20:38:42
He definitely looked to have all the tools to be a good PL level. player. it's always SAS to see a young talent leave. UT we have negotiated a good fee, a decent sell on clause, and a first refusal clause, all of which combine to make it a very good deal really. I hope he succeeds and becomes a cracking player. All the best to him!
12 Dec 2023 22:18:03
Hi Ed002, who's the preferred target, if you don't mind me asking?

Last few performances haven't been good from Salah. He is giving away the ball a bit too much right now. I just hope this is fatigue and not the start of a decline. I am also concerned by Diaz a bit. He is definitely not as explosive as he was before the injury, when he used to beat his man for fun. I really loved watching him glide past players, but now he gets dispossessed much more often while dribbling. I just hope his sharpness returns eventually as he trust his knee more and more.

The deal's been confirmed by Caoimhe O'Neill. Says a three-year contract for the lad, with a buyback option included.
Best of luck to him. Hope he tears it up!

The difference between Mo's situation this time and last time seems to be that it appears that he really really wants to stay this time. Maybe he has realised now that he has already given us 8 great years, he could potentially give us 2-3 more and move above everyone bar Rush and Shearer in the record books. And possibly he has fewer options in terms of moving because of his age.
Virgil i see no reason to not renew. He has shown no signs of physical decline in a position that doesn't require that much pace either. Right now it looks like he could be the best defender in the world for a few more years atleast.
Unfortunately, Trent seems the most dicey at this point. He has been much better defensively, but this system is not built around him unlike Klopp's teams. So he seems a bit less fundamental as compared to previous years. It would hurt a lot if he does leave though, and I just wish we sign all three.

I actually think Kelleher is a better stopper than Ederson, but Ederson adds so much value to City through his footwork. I really hope kelleher ets a good move somewhere and is able to consistently show how good he is. Really love the guy.

I know this will not be the most popular take here, but I actually want Kelleher to move. He is a really good keeper and I want to see him get the regular minutes he deserves. From the little I have seen of Jaros, he looks good enough to deputise, and its unlikely Alisson will be out for 20 matches again this season. If we can get anywhere near 20mn+ for Kelleher, I think we should allow him to leave.

I think Jaros and Bradley count as homegrown Ed, because they have been at the club for more than 3 years before they turned 21.
{Ed001's Note - both went away on loan, doesn't that count against it?}

Yeah mate. We have 14 non-HG players currently. Should not be an issue to get one more. Hopefully, Inacio.
