For the people that keep banging on about us already having a good keeper to replace mingnolet in Danny ward I am going to assume none of youse watch Scottish football? Yes he is 'good' up here but then the best keeper on Scotland at the moment is Craig Gordon. Need I go on? Danny ward will make it to the same level as mingnolet at best imo. He makes some terrible errors that would put migs mistakes to shame, I know he's still young but just my opinion after watching him play a lot. My team put 5 past him and at least 3 of them would have been prevented by a decent keeper. Don't get me wrong, I hope I get proved to be wrong but I just thought I'd share my observations.

I watch Scottish football religiously. I completely agree about Craig Gordon (love him)! He's by far the best keeper in SPL. He commands the box fantastically, screams at defence, rallies the troops, comes out to deal with corners/ crosses instead of leaving them for the CBs etc etc. He's very talented all rounder.
As for Danny Ward, he's still young so give him time to learn his craft at LFC.
Mingolet is as good keeper but struggles to command the box because of his he height. Look at the stats, last year he kept 16 clean sheets, more than any other bpl keeper. It isn't like we were at the top of our game last yesr so, my point is, imagine if he had a decent defence in front of him. He gets slaughtered for every error, but all keepers make errors, I just don't understand the hatred for him by the "Liverpool faithful"

{Ed001's Note - Craig Gordon commands the box fantastically? Are you sure you have ever watched him play? Every shot is parried straight out into danger. Truly awful keeper, who just happens to be playing for a team as superior to the rest of the league as PSG or Bayern and so can get away with being utter cack.}

The poster must have forgotten how poor he was at Sunderland.

So by your opinion perth ward made little or no difference to aberdeen being in the top 2 or three all season because he is terrible. Okies i will take your word for it.

I was comparing the fact that Gordon Is the best keeper in the league meaning ward wasn't all that, I know Gordon is a rubbish keeper. I completely agree with what the Ed says about him. Also Aberdeen are second in the league because they have way more money than everyone else except celtic in the league not because of ward. Had anything changed since ward left? No it hasn't.

{Ed001's Note - Aberdeen do not have way more money than everyone else. I don't know where you got that nonsense from. There is very little difference in budgets between the rest of the league. You are talking less in difference than an average English Prem player's annual salary between the rest of the SPFL. I think you are just making things up to try and back up your point.}

Yeah that's small amount of money in the premiership is huge in relation to the amount of money spent on players and their wages in Scotland below the old firm. Aberdeen pay more than double the wages of my team St Johnstone. Might not be a lot down south but it's still double the wages meaning players will more likely go to them of Aberdeen are interested, also they get 2/ 3 times the fans of the rest of the league so it isn't nonsense. Maybe stick to English football.
