Hi Ed002,

are we going to go for a GK in the summer.

{Ed002's Note - Yes. Bogdan will be going in the summer and they club will look for someone who can perhaps push Mignolet.}

On to the Megabus bound for Stranraer.

Hi Ed002 thank you for your reply, what do you think will happen with Ward, i thought he was brought back to give migs a push which in a way he has done because i think migs has upped his game since ward came back, would like to see ward play for our 1st team but i sont think he will get a game unless migs gets injured.

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what will happen with Ward - right now at best he will be third choice at Liverpool. Bringing him back was a mistake - and that has been covered.}

It was not a mistake to recall him we had too because Bogdan was not good enough to even be a backup keeper.

Genius Ron! But Stranrear is too close too Anfield he might come back!

{Ed001's Note - just put a ball in front of the gates and he will miss them every time...}

We all know migs won't be first choice next year .

I honestly think the criticism of mings is a bit unfair yeah he's a bit rash and a bit scared but very few team have great goal keepers.

Kloppo it was a mistake to recall ward because now instead of him playing competitive football week in week out, and gaining much needed experience and confidence, he's been left to sit on a bench knowing he's not going to get a game unless klopp HAS to play him, how do you think ward himself feels about this.

Priceless from Boot Room Boys
Nothing personal obviously but when you describe our keeper as " rash and scared" but still want to defend him you must be one hell of a lawyer team. Defending the undefendable.

Boot, its true. Only winners have good keepers, lol.

I don't think it's defending the indefensible but can u name me a world class goal keeper that's available or even a good pl player that's available to take his place at the minute. There's a lot of goal keepers that's far better than him but there the ones that (a) we can't afford or (b) won't come to us.

BRB - sorry but I totally disagree. I don't like putting down players who are playing for us but we have aspirations of being a top 4 team so we ought to expect our 'keepers to be amongst the top 4 in the league. At the moment there's Cech, de Gea, Lloris, Hart, Schmeichel, butland and Begovic who I rate higher than Mings in this league alone. Off the top of my head I can't think of how much each cost, but I don't think many would have been more expensive to their clubs than Mings was to us. He's not solely to blame for all of the defensive blunders (centrebacks need to take a share of the blame too) but i think we need someone who is happy to communicate and marshall the whole defence. I'm not suggesting that we go out and get one of those 'keepers, just making the point that with good scouting there are good players out there who'd be happy to play for us.

Better keeprs than Mings in the PL - Cech, Ospina, Guzan, Boruc, Courtois, Begovic, Hennessey, McCarthy, Howard, Robles, Schmeichel, Schwarzer, Hart, Caballero, De Gea, Romero, Krul, Skekelenburg, Forster, Lloris, Vorm, Butland, Mannone, Fabianski, + Foster, Adrian. That is the PL alone. I think at least one of them could have been available.

@hjikle, would you be happy if we targeted any of the following - Guzan, Boruc, Henessey, McCarthy, Howard (seriously? ), Schwarzer, Romero, Krul, Steklenburg, Mannone?

That's 10 of your list I'd personally be very disappointed to be chasing.


14.) 26 Feb 2016

@hjikle, behave. All you've done is list almost every goal keeper in the league there. Mignolet is no A-grade but he's certainly a lot better than at least half of your list, as Sean Ireland rightly points out.

I agree, migs has got to be in the bottom three keepers in the league. Many teams have numbers 2's better than him. I do think the likes of boruc, mannone, Hennessy are better I don't think they're a step up enough to be actually worth buying. If we have aspirations of top 4 we need to be targeting better than those. What are peoples thoughts on Adrian at west ham? Every time I see him play he seems to have blinders but does seem prone to the odd error. How about navas? Doesn't seem to be getting a great deal of game time at Madrid.
