With ward going on loan I'm guessing that means brad Jones is fit again?

With Jones more than likely leaving in the summer, I suspect Ward will be out to prove that he can be number 2 for us next season.

Agree with Red Rum on that.

I think Ward's chance never came and never will and he will probably leave this summer too. it's time for him to play regular football, not a bench warmer.

Its highly unlikely Ward will get his chance at LFC. Mignolet has improved and the club are obviously looking at a new GK which would make him 3rd choice at the club. Hopefully he will impress at his loan club and get a decent move elsewhere in the summer.

Personally, I think Rodgers will look to replace Migs as he doesn't fit into his style. Yes he's improved lately, but only because he's been keeping it simple the majority of the time. He's still prone to kicking the ball needlessly out of play and inviting unnecessary pressure on the defence. It's amazing how a few good saves makes people instantly forget his dire distribution/decision making. Cech available for around £10m is a no brainer. However I don't see Migs wanting to stick around as the number 2.
If ward isn't to get a chance as our 2nd keeper then maybe we should bring in a cheap experienced backup to Cech.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has shown no interest in Cech and Chelsea has quoted the interested sides more than £10M.}

Absolute bargain

Mignolet has shown lately he can stay as our number 1.
As for ward the lads 21 he's still plenty of time to have a career at liverpool, time fir first team football and see what he can really do.

If Cech is deemed too expensive, then I'm sure there are other keepers out there that suit this style. We need a first choice keeper who excels in his distribution and also commands his area well. Someone who is also vocal and can lead from the back.
I don't watch enough football to know which keepers consistently fit the above criteria. Ed, maybe you know a couple off the top of your head who may become available in the summer?

If a ball playing GK is the pre requisite then get reina back.

The first and most important job of any keeper is to keep the ball out of the net something Mignolet has been doing quite well. So barring injury, I don't think a first choice keeper is a priority.
