Any truth in the Jack Butland rumours, or is that just Sky Bet trying to reel in some punters?
{Ed002's Note - He can be signed if someone else leaves.}

Are they looking to sign him though?
{Ed002's Note - I really have no idea why the club would want a fourth first team goalkeeper at the expense of an outfield player.}

Maybe Kelleher might go out on loan if another is brought in.

If Wilson left would it happen end or are they interested in wilson even?
{Ed002's Note - Both have an impact on CL squad size. It gets smaller as others are club trained.}

@ Champs
That'd work okay for the Premier League squad, Butland could just take Kelleher's place in it.
But it wouldn't work for the Champions League squad because of the additional requirement that 4 of the 8 Home Grown players are club trained by Liverpool. Or else you leave blank spaces in the squad. Kelleher is one of only 3 senior players we who meet that criteria, so if we dropped him from the CL squad by loaning him out, we'd have to leave his slot blank, and drop another player to put in the non club-trained Butland (or any other goalie apart from Martin Hansen and it's a bit late to sign him) .
And this is before we get to the idea of signing a player because we need him for 6 weeks.
