Hi edd 002
You answer a question on here about begovic not being interested in a move to Liverpool some time ago.
Was this because he thought man united were going to come in for him, about 2 or 3 seasons ago.
Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - I really don't know what his reasons were at the time but he had at one time said he wanted to join Liverpool (at a time when Liverpool were not interested in him) and then later when the club did show an interest he was not interested.}

Begovic would be a good option for LFC. If the price is 10 million GBP or less, i would be shocked if the club did not make an approach to Chelsea this summer.

I struggle to work out why Begovic went to Chelsea when it was obvious he was going to be second choice. I know he's had games but that's because of the Courtois injury rather than anything else. A 'lazy' move by the player in my opinion.

errrr could it have something to do with money?

If that really was the only reason then I'd rather he stayed sat on the bench at Chelsea. Perhaps I'm an old romantic but where's his ambition?
{Ed002's Note - It isn't and he will likely be moving on in the summer. Chelsea made offers for replacements in January.}

I'd rather we didn't buy him as he's not really that good a keeper and frankly there are better available out there, considering we are stuck with Mignolet until the summer we have plenty of time to find a good keeper and a bench warmer is the last place I would be looking.

Good to hear that then Ed002 - was he made some promises about playing time then? It always felt like an odd move to me.
{Ed002's Note - No, he wasn't made any promises.}
