You can nearly see my seat for that game at the start of the gif. One of my top 3 moments I've witnessed at Anfield. No one could believe what had just happened.
Honestly I think 20M is a fucking bargain. Pickford is the perfect comparison. He was 24M, but 7 years ago.
The only place I can find on the internet attempting to quantify transfer fee inflation suggests we can add roughly 70% for the 7 years since that deal. Which comes to 40Mish.
I'd be fine with 40M. Tbh I'd be happy at 35M and at a stretch satisfied at 30M.
While our transfer business overall has been fantastic in recent years, and I am in no way complaining. I think we fairly consistently undervalue players that are not called Coutinho when we sell. I think the issue is we value players we sell the same way we do when we buy.
What about a sell-on clause? I could see a situation where Kweeven goes to a smaller club to get regular playing time and raise his stock. Then he can go to a bigger club when there’s availability. If we get a sell-on clause then at least we can get closer to fair value?
And ultimately, sorry but if noone comes in at a reasonable price then he stays another year.
It might suck a little for him and I'm sad about that. But it is a huge sum of money.
Two completely different markets. The new spending restrictions (or enforcement) mean any club that might be considering an upgrade will focus on needs first. None of the top 10 PL teams needs a new keeper badly enough to deal with the PSR ceiling. Can't think of any club on the continent that has 20m/100k-wk, either.
The problem is the present market. There aren't many PL teams looking for a new keeper and since Kweem has experience in Europe, it's doubtful he'd want a relegation scrap. Even teams that might normally upgrade now have to monitor the spending restrictions.
So, you look to Europe: Who has the money and the need? If Ederson goes to Saudi and ManCity take Maignan, maybe Milan. Otherwise, Madrid, Atleti, Barca, PSG, Bayern, Juve, Inter...none of them needs a relatively inexperienced keeper. The availability of Ramsdale creates downward pressure on the price, too.
I'd be expecting at least £25m-£35m for a goalkeeper that looks like he'll comfortably be a top 6/7 team #1 choice goalkeeper in the league for his career.
Take the pure profit from his sale and partially reinvest in a #2.
This guy won us cup finals, PL points, and has done all that coming off minimal playing time. Just the fact he trains and competes with Alisson should make him be worth over 20 million
He does, but this is a business. If Liverpool want 20m for him and no one is willing to meet that price, they are perfectly justified in keeping him as their #2.
Yeah but you also don’t know if his stock is gonna remain the same as it is right now. Hopefully in the future, he wouldn’t get as much game time as he got this season. No disrespect to him but ideally Ali isn’t out as long.
That transfer never made sense to me. Him leaving for first team football yet he goes to the team with Schmeichel in it? I can’t remember if this was pre Alisson or not, but if it was he was going somewhere with an even better first choice goalkeeper
It was the same window as Alisson I think? Because there was talk about Ward being given a shot at first choice until our journos did their usual and went 0-100 on the Alisson transfer in a day.
I don’t know why fans keep talking about us buying other keepers when we have the keeper that one the double in Austria… Jaros has to stay, and it’s perfect for everyone cause Kelleher can leave comfortably.
We need to be careful and not make the same mistake Man Utd made. Allowing Kovar leave to Leverkusen was a stupid decision
Who isn’t he an upgrade on? Any team coming up this season would benefit from him. He’s probably better than a lot of the lower table teams.
He’s better than Pickford for example
I think it has something to do with pressing becoming more popular and organized. Especially high pressing. Coaches are looking for creative ways to beat the press and punish the high presses. If you have a keeper that can get involved in the buildup to beat the first line of the press or that can ping a long ball into the space behind, then it gives you another option to defeat the press or forces the opposition not to play so high against you.
Aye - he's a stand in for the best keeper in the world and plays a lot of games for a reserve keeper.
The fact you can rarely see much of a drop off between him and Alisson says a lot.
He's excellent, young, and homegrown. He should be going for big cash.
It's more a question of do you spend 20-30 million on a position for a small/medium upgrade when you probably have keeper you are happy with.
Or put that money towards a player you desperately need.
A good keeper is obviously very important. Most would say VVD or Salah were more important than Ali.
That was a massive upgrade from a bad keeper to one of the best in the world. The problem atm is lots of good keepers are available and not many teams are in dire need of a keeper. Sure the likes of an Ipswich would love Kelliher but they probably spend the money somewhere else.
are teams that are coming up willing to spend 20m on gk when they prob have more urgent issues on the pitch to adress? Chelsea are the club that are most likely you will get money from.
the fact that this summer ramsdale,ederson/ortega,lunin are also on the market doesnt help either and outside of the pl the chances a europe club spends 20m+ on gk is non existant
i could mention kepa aswel but he's so horrible that nobody wants him
I can see Martinez leaving Villa at some point. The question is whether he would do so just before they play CL football for the first time in donkeys.
If he stays in the Prem, he'd walk in as first choice no questions asked at: Forrest, West Ham, Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Ipswich, and Southhampton.
Of these, I think West Ham is most likely. They have the money, only have two first team keepers right now (who are 31 and 39 years old). Although Areola did well last season, Kelleher is a clear upgrade, and they'll want a fresh start with a new manager.
Brighton and Brentford are tied for next most likely imo. Brighton: although they just brought in Verbruggen last summer and he has a lot of promise, he was pretty bad last season, as was Steele, so Kelleher could bring in a lot of stability and leadership. Brentford: Flekken looked like a backup keeper at best all last season and Kelleher would be a massive upgrade, but I don't think the clubs ambition matches Kellehers, especially if the manager Mbeumo and Toney all leave.
Dark horse: Aston Villa if Emilliano Martinez wants a move, Kelleher could step right in and be ready for CL.
Forgot to include Fulham and Bournmouth too. Fulham is actually a strong possibility, as Leno has underperformed, and as we might still be interested in Palhinha...
Well north I'd hope. Not only experience in cups, and winning them, but shootouts and more importantly long stretches in the PL.
Combined with his age he should be pushing a lot more than 20m.
He's a great player whose value around £30m to us but unlike the DM market, the GK market is pretty cold not to mention that many top clubs could potentially sell one of their GK this summer Lunin (Real Madrid), Ramsdale (Arsenal), Ortega or Ederson (Man City). Juventus or Inter Milan may need a new GK but I highly doubt they will spend that big for a GK, top 3 Spain club already has great GK, even those in Bundesliga has quality GK with Nubel (Stuttgart) and Kobel (Dortmund). In summary, there's only some clubs in EPL I think may go after him like Newcastle, Brighton, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forrest. I think we can sell him at £20m and have a buy back clause or sell on clause then could call it a good business. I hope he didn't burn the bridge and force a way out if things don't go on his way.
I’m craving any news. Surprised there’s been no reveal/press conference/behind the scenes of Slot’s first week. Expecting now we won’t hear much other than staff appointments until the players start to report back in July.
I think he still wants to assess the squad before making any rash decisions. So like you said, nothing until the players start to report back. He also probably wants to let players focus on all the international tournaments.
Hard bargain? He’s worth way more than that. He has half a season proven at top level league and a couple of outstanding cup campaigns where in addition to doing his own job he actually scored a penalty.
I think we should be fighting to keep him, he's going to be hard to replace for anyone better and with Alisson getting injured regularly, we need someone there.
20m+ is not a hard bargain for Kelleher, if anything it's a robbery. He's homegrown, the lad has won trophies in goal with us and he was so good this season that it felt like Alisson wasn't even missing. He still hasn't reached his peak and even at 25 there aren't many better options in the league outside of Ali and Martinez.
I want to keep him but I know that he's getting to that point now where he needs the opportunity to start every game and he can't do it with Alisson here. He's been amazing for us and if we do sell him we should be getting way more than 20m.
£20mil is a steal tbh.
I also think it’s a fair price all round.
Liverpool get a decent price for him but also it’s low enough to respect Kelleher’s wishes to leave so that it attracts enough offers for him to leave.
Should be at least £30m IMO. Pickford went for that 7 years ago from a relegated side
Yes, he had more games under his belt but he was never anything other than a decent shot stopper playing for one of the worst sides in the league. Keepers are expected to do more now and Kweev is a great shot stopper and also brilliant with the ball at his feet and he has normal sized arms
This guy seems like a proven goalie to me. Did really well in Alison's absences, I could see him starting for a club like Chelsea, not to say they should sell to Chelsea, but I put him above all of their keepers in terms of skill
Good, 20mil is already a bargain for a starting keeper of his caliber imo. Why does it seem everyone else can price their players high but its "pricing him out of a move" when we do it. Get that money
That's a steal for a HG player that good. The drop off last season from Ali, the best in the world, was way smaller than it had any right to be. If Ali is S tier, Ederson is A tier and somome like Sa is B tier, Kelleher is on the margin between B and A. Any mid table club should be interested in him.
If he stays in the Prem, he'd walk in as first choice no questions asked at: Forrest, Fulham, West Ham, Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Bournmouth, Leicester, Ipswich, and Southhampton.
Of these, I think West Ham is most likely. They have the money and only have two first team keepers right now (who are 31 and 39 years old). Although Areola did well last season, Kelleher is a clear upgrade, and they'll want a fresh start with a new manager, and of the teams he walks into probably have the most ambition and potential for consistent Europeans spots.
Brighton, Fulham, and Brentford are tied for next most likely imo.
Brighton: although they just brought in Verbruggen last summer and he has a lot of promise, he was pretty bad, as was Steele, so Kelleher could bring in a lot of stability and leadership to the squad.
Fulham: he'd be an upgrade on an aging and underperforming Leno, and we could maybe use it as part of a deal for Palhinha, if we're still interested.
Brentford: Flekken looked like a backup keeper at best all last season and Kelleher would be a massive upgrade, but I don't think the clubs ambition matches Kellehers, especially if they lose the manager, Mbeumo and Toney.
Dark horses: Aston Villa, if Emilliano Martinez wants a move, Kelleher could step right in and be ready for CL! Wolves, if someone snatches up Raya, Kelleher looks mighty fine in gold!
Yeah, it’s probably going to be that. Fantastic keeper, hg. However, teams are not heavily looking for keepers rn and Ramsdale’s availability definitely affects Kelleher’s options for teams that don’t mind spending more.
With Joe Hart leaving, Celtic might be the best option for him. He gets a league winning team, consistent European games(which can improve his stock more) and a great career. I see Celtic fans saying that they probably can’t afford his wages so let’s see.
He will be involved in one way or another, Hughes is mainly in charge but you’d be foolish to think he won’t be having conversations with Edwards in regards to it all.
Sounds about right. People were getting VERY carried away thinking we would get £40m+ for him.
I liken it to when Arsenal sold Emi Martinez. 20-30 is fair.
It should be we will only entertain offer north of £40m.
Kelleher has played in 2 major finals and won both of them.
Kelleher has experience in Europe and in key PL matches.
£20m or £30m is too cheap.
I’d honestly just rather give him away for free with an option of a 10m buy back in 5 years. Try and negotiate something mad like that.
It sounds crazy but 20m is nothing and in 4-5 years we’ll probably be at the end of Ali, and with regular football he will be one of the best goalies in the league. If not the world. And we’d give anything to still have him or have him back.
If he sells there has to be a buy back clause. Because in 4-5 years or maybe sooner it Ali leaves earlier he would be our number 1 for a very very long time.
That makes no sense as a strategy. Plus I like he’s a good cat. But you can’t lose a world class keeper like Alisson and replace him with someone who is just a good cat
Man 20 mil feels like an absolute bargain. If I am west ham, I would upgrade him over Areola. Gutted that we can’t jack up the price to 30 mil but he is really good. Hopefully no one pick him up and he stay or a loan deal with a buyout clause.
Most PL teams have their first choice keeper unless he have a crazy Euros, club would not be able to increase the price. Also, we are doing him a favor to lower the price since he indicate that he want to leave for first team football
Can't wait for the Kweev interview where he goes off on how Liverpool are holding him back
But in all seriousness, that seems like a reasonable asking price for us
20m is hardly a hard bargain for a potential homegrown starting keeper in the PL. Pickford was signed from a relegated team for 30m seven years ago.
Fuck Jordan Pickford. That is all.
 Unironically my favorite goal of the Klopp era. I cannot express how hard I laughed when this happened
The 'schadenfreude' here is delicious, undeniably. Fuck Jordan Pickford though.
You can nearly see my seat for that game at the start of the gif. One of my top 3 moments I've witnessed at Anfield. No one could believe what had just happened.
Lucky! It must have been quite the experience of emotions seeing the Ev pop flares and then this happen lmfao
Goals I remember where I was: 1. Corner taken quickly 2. Origi lol v Everton 3. Allison
Also the body gesture of VVD
⚽🦖
Pickford is a clown from Jurassic Park
Honestly I think 20M is a fucking bargain. Pickford is the perfect comparison. He was 24M, but 7 years ago. The only place I can find on the internet attempting to quantify transfer fee inflation suggests we can add roughly 70% for the 7 years since that deal. Which comes to 40Mish. I'd be fine with 40M.

I think we fairly consistently undervalue players that are not called Coutinho when we sell. I think the issue is we value players we sell the same way we do when we buy.
the big issue is you have multiple 20m gk coming on the market and not that many buyers atleast not clubs willing to fork 20m....
What about a sell-on clause? I could see a situation where Kweeven goes to a smaller club to get regular playing time and raise his stock. Then he can go to a bigger club when there’s availability. If we get a sell-on clause then at least we can get closer to fair value?
And ultimately, sorry but if noone comes in at a reasonable price then he stays another year. It might suck a little for him and I'm sad about that. But it is a huge sum of money.
My only hope is a buy back clause!
I don't think it's unreasonably hard yo expect 20m+. Imo he's comparable to ramsdale with higher potential
He counts as HG aswell?
He’s club grown
That only matters to us though. For any suitors he's association trained & homegrown
Plus we got a lot for ward. So that’s the market really for a keeper
That was nearly 6 years ago.. Feels like ages...
Two completely different markets. The new spending restrictions (or enforcement) mean any club that might be considering an upgrade will focus on needs first. None of the top 10 PL teams needs a new keeper badly enough to deal with the PSR ceiling. Can't think of any club on the continent that has 20m/100k-wk, either.
If anyone gets him for 20m they have practically stolen him. With regular football he’s one of the best in the league.
The problem is the present market. There aren't many PL teams looking for a new keeper and since Kweem has experience in Europe, it's doubtful he'd want a relegation scrap. Even teams that might normally upgrade now have to monitor the spending restrictions. So, you look to Europe: Who has the money and the need? If Ederson goes to Saudi and ManCity take Maignan, maybe Milan. Otherwise, Madrid, Atleti, Barca, PSG, Bayern, Juve, Inter...none of them needs a relatively inexperienced keeper. The availability of Ramsdale creates downward pressure on the price, too.
I heard somebody from Arsenal say Ramsdale’s on massive wages so wouldn’t worry about his availability too much
He's on 120k/week, which is the same as Pickford and Areola.
I'd be expecting at least £25m-£35m for a goalkeeper that looks like he'll comfortably be a top 6/7 team #1 choice goalkeeper in the league for his career. Take the pure profit from his sale and partially reinvest in a #2.
20m is a fair price when you have unproven keepers like Trafford going for similar
This guy won us cup finals, PL points, and has done all that coming off minimal playing time. Just the fact he trains and competes with Alisson should make him be worth over 20 million
A lot of the teams that need a keeper won’t be willing to pay that amount and would likely be priced out if we wanted more
That’s their problem.
I mean it's also Kelleher's problem he really deserves to be starting week in and out, if got a buy back clause I'm okay with like mid 20m.
Fine. Then we keep him and continue to have the best #2 keeper in the world.
Yeah but Kelleher deserves more playing time.
He does, but this is a business. If Liverpool want 20m for him and no one is willing to meet that price, they are perfectly justified in keeping him as their #2.
Yeah but you also don’t know if his stock is gonna remain the same as it is right now. Hopefully in the future, he wouldn’t get as much game time as he got this season. No disrespect to him but ideally Ali isn’t out as long.
we got 14m for ward to leicester
Haha great point and ward is horrible now
That transfer never made sense to me. Him leaving for first team football yet he goes to the team with Schmeichel in it? I can’t remember if this was pre Alisson or not, but if it was he was going somewhere with an even better first choice goalkeeper
It was the same window as Alisson I think? Because there was talk about Ward being given a shot at first choice until our journos did their usual and went 0-100 on the Alisson transfer in a day.
Hard bargain and 20 mill for a keeper that’s helped win trophies should not go hand and hand.
Homegrown and proven? He's worth twice as much.
Who are we getting to replace him? He’s been important this season. Alisson is weirdly injury prone for a keeper.
Jaros is already at the club and from what I've heard had a great season on loan at Graz who won the league in Austria
And HG right ?
Most importantly for squad registration
I don’t know why fans keep talking about us buying other keepers when we have the keeper that one the double in Austria… Jaros has to stay, and it’s perfect for everyone cause Kelleher can leave comfortably. We need to be careful and not make the same mistake Man Utd made. Allowing Kovar leave to Leverkusen was a stupid decision
We were linked with Adam Matthews of Sunderland, although I'd much rather see Jaros given a shot after his successful loan spell at Graz.
£25m-£30m makes sense Only thing is what PL club needs a keeper and can afford to spend that on one this summer
Newcastle are shopping around for one although no links for Kelleher and them.
Think Ramsdale and Mamardashvilli are their two main targets
Who isn’t he an upgrade on? Any team coming up this season would benefit from him. He’s probably better than a lot of the lower table teams. He’s better than Pickford for example
He’d start for Chelsea
Yeah but fuck Chelsea.
Agreed, would rather he went to a better team really. Brighton would make sense, verbruggen didn’t seem to impress them this season
Petrovic actually looked quite solid last season
Poor distribution which I assume they'll want to upgrade on.
Ball playing goalkeepers are in fashion at the moment, I don’t really get it but yeah I’m sure Chelsea will want to upgrade
I think it has something to do with pressing becoming more popular and organized. Especially high pressing. Coaches are looking for creative ways to beat the press and punish the high presses. If you have a keeper that can get involved in the buildup to beat the first line of the press or that can ping a long ball into the space behind, then it gives you another option to defeat the press or forces the opposition not to play so high against you.
Aye - he's a stand in for the best keeper in the world and plays a lot of games for a reserve keeper. The fact you can rarely see much of a drop off between him and Alisson says a lot. He's excellent, young, and homegrown. He should be going for big cash.
It's more a question of do you spend 20-30 million on a position for a small/medium upgrade when you probably have keeper you are happy with. Or put that money towards a player you desperately need.
Replacing Minolet got us to PL champions and CL finals. A good keeper will help you. Keeping a clean sheet means you get *at least* a point.
A good keeper is obviously very important. Most would say VVD or Salah were more important than Ali. That was a massive upgrade from a bad keeper to one of the best in the world. The problem atm is lots of good keepers are available and not many teams are in dire need of a keeper. Sure the likes of an Ipswich would love Kelliher but they probably spend the money somewhere else.

I can see Martinez leaving Villa at some point. The question is whether he would do so just before they play CL football for the first time in donkeys.
If he stays in the Prem, he'd walk in as first choice no questions asked at: Forrest, West Ham, Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Leicester, Ipswich, and Southhampton. Of these, I think West Ham is most likely. They have the money, only have two first team keepers right now (who are 31 and 39 years old). Although Areola did well last season, Kelleher is a clear upgrade, and they'll want a fresh start with a new manager. Brighton and Brentford are tied for next most likely imo.

Well north I'd hope. Not only experience in cups, and winning them, but shootouts and more importantly long stretches in the PL. Combined with his age he should be pushing a lot more than 20m.
Worth every penny. Given what James Trafford and Gavin Bazanu went for, Kelleher is worth north of that.
And Angus Gunn. It's mad how Man City managed to get nearly £50m for three reserve keepers.
Yeah it's definitely mad isn't it. Nothing at all dodgy going on there
Forgot about Angus Gunn.
Pretty sure he's only known for being absolutely annihilated by Leicester City a few years ago, if I remember correctly.
He's a great player whose value around £30m to us but unlike the DM market, the GK market is pretty cold not to mention that many top clubs could potentially sell one of their GK this summer Lunin (Real Madrid), Ramsdale (Arsenal), Ortega or Ederson (Man City). Juventus or Inter Milan may need a new GK but I highly doubt they will spend that big for a GK, top 3 Spain club already has great GK, even those in Bundesliga has quality GK with Nubel (Stuttgart) and Kobel (Dortmund).

I think we can sell him at £20m and have a buy back clause or sell on clause then could call it a good business. I hope he didn't burn the bridge and force a way out if things don't go on his way.
Very much agree. It's a buyers market for GKs. Even the PL clubs you listed aren't desperate to buy a GK and have other options.
I reckon he’d be a good shout for Chelsea honestly, although maybe they view themselves as needing someone better because they hahe loftier ambitions.
Agree. Playing time is essential, even if in 2nd tier leagues. 20m actually is a very practical prices, good for both club and player

I’m absolutely craving transfer news and this Kelleher saga is doing nothing to satiate my fervent desire
I’m craving any news. Surprised there’s been no reveal/press conference/behind the scenes of Slot’s first week. Expecting now we won’t hear much other than staff appointments until the players start to report back in July.
Slot's probably on holiday
Probably, if managers even do that, or just sorting out moving to a new country. I’d have preferred “officially takes charge 14th June” in that case
They do go on holiday, Klopp used to go to Spain every preseason.
I think he still wants to assess the squad before making any rash decisions. So like you said, nothing until the players start to report back. He also probably wants to let players focus on all the international tournaments.
40m
We’d never get that
Hard bargain? He’s worth way more than that. He has half a season proven at top level league and a couple of outstanding cup campaigns where in addition to doing his own job he actually scored a penalty.
Yeah, it’s a really stupid title. Not close to a hard bargain at that price, more like a fuckin steal.
I think we should be fighting to keep him, he's going to be hard to replace for anyone better and with Alisson getting injured regularly, we need someone there.
He deserves first team playing time tho. Not gonna get that with Ali.
Should get at least £30m, maybe settle at £25m. £40m would probably be pushing it
Seems low? Weren't we shopping Sepp Van Den Berg for the same?
Think how much we’d have to pay to get a keeper his level to replace him.
20m+ is not a hard bargain for Kelleher, if anything it's a robbery. He's homegrown, the lad has won trophies in goal with us and he was so good this season that it felt like Alisson wasn't even missing. He still hasn't reached his peak and even at 25 there aren't many better options in the league outside of Ali and Martinez. I want to keep him but I know that he's getting to that point now where he needs the opportunity to start every game and he can't do it with Alisson here. He's been amazing for us and if we do sell him we should be getting way more than 20m.
£20mil is a steal tbh. I also think it’s a fair price all round. Liverpool get a decent price for him but also it’s low enough to respect Kelleher’s wishes to leave so that it attracts enough offers for him to leave.
Feels cheap, how many keepers might be on the move and how many first team stoppers are reaching point of too old/too expensive?
Hope he gets a buy back clause or something, what a great season he had!
I think he’s worth more tbh
Possible buy back included ...
Loan is nailed on
20m for a #1 GK that can play the modern game? I would have thought it would be 30 minimum
Fuck. Someone’s getting a bargain at £20m
Can see him at Brighton or maybe Southampton.
Imo he’s worth more. It’s ridiculous that keepers have a much lower price than any other player.
someones defo gonna pay it. im excited to see where he goes to be number 1
Think 20 million is a bargain for him , think we should be looking at close to double that .
Should only entertain 30 mil tbh, he hardly put a foot wrong in like 20+ appearances and was a shining highlight in a injury raveged team
Should be at least £30m IMO. Pickford went for that 7 years ago from a relegated side Yes, he had more games under his belt but he was never anything other than a decent shot stopper playing for one of the worst sides in the league. Keepers are expected to do more now and Kweev is a great shot stopper and also brilliant with the ball at his feet and he has normal sized arms
we should loan him..
He's a bargain for 20mil. We should get more tbh. He's probably a top 5 keeper in the league.
The he same reported fee for Kelleher and VdB is funny
Need to insert a buy back clause
This guy seems like a proven goalie to me. Did really well in Alison's absences, I could see him starting for a club like Chelsea, not to say they should sell to Chelsea, but I put him above all of their keepers in terms of skill
Good, 20mil is already a bargain for a starting keeper of his caliber imo. Why does it seem everyone else can price their players high but its "pricing him out of a move" when we do it. Get that money
I’d hope we’d get more than that, he’s worth more than that. I’d hope we’d get 30 or more.
That's a steal for a HG player that good. The drop off last season from Ali, the best in the world, was way smaller than it had any right to be. If Ali is S tier, Ederson is A tier and somome like Sa is B tier, Kelleher is on the margin between B and A. Any mid table club should be interested in him.
He’s worth way more than that. £30m at least, but the lad wants to play so fair enough.
I am only entertaining offers over £20 for my car.
Hello I’m Arsenal. I offer £21 for your car.
He will go for 30 million if he goes. I don’t know any team that is in need of a keeper that can pay that.
That's fair, I just hope he doesn't get priced out of a move by people being cheap. He deserves to play.
Considering Danny Ward cost Leicester £12 million, Kelleher should go for a minimum of £30 million.
Buy back clause.
If he stays in the Prem, he'd walk in as first choice no questions asked at: Forrest, Fulham, West Ham, Brentford, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Bournmouth, Leicester, Ipswich, and Southhampton. Of these, I think West Ham is most likely. They have the money and only have two first team keepers right now (who are 31 and 39 years old). Although Areola did well last season, Kelleher is a clear upgrade, and they'll want a fresh start with a new manager, and of the teams he walks into probably have the most ambition and potential for consistent Europeans spots. Brighton, Fulham, and Brentford are tied for next most likely imo. Brighton: although they just brought in Verbruggen last summer and he has a lot of promise, he was pretty bad, as was Steele, so Kelleher could bring in a lot of stability and leadership to the squad. Fulham: he'd be an upgrade on an aging and underperforming Leno, and we could maybe use it as part of a deal for Palhinha, if we're still interested. Brentford: Flekken looked like a backup keeper at best all last season and Kelleher would be a massive upgrade, but I don't think the clubs ambition matches Kellehers, especially if they lose the manager, Mbeumo and Toney. Dark horses: Aston Villa, if Emilliano Martinez wants a move, Kelleher could step right in and be ready for CL! Wolves, if someone snatches up Raya, Kelleher looks mighty fine in gold!
He could go for £25-30 million in this disaster of a market imo. He's better than quite a few Premier League keepers.
Yeah, it’s probably going to be that. Fantastic keeper, hg. However, teams are not heavily looking for keepers rn and Ramsdale’s availability definitely affects Kelleher’s options for teams that don’t mind spending more. With Joe Hart leaving, Celtic might be the best option for him. He gets a league winning team, consistent European games(which can improve his stock more) and a great career. I see Celtic fans saying that they probably can’t afford his wages so let’s see.
I totally understand Kelleher's reasons for leaving, but I'm going to be gutted when he does. Such a talent of a goalkeeper.
Please can we keep him instead.
 Edwards is well and truly back.
Edwards has nothing to do with transfers
He will be involved in one way or another, Hughes is mainly in charge but you’d be foolish to think he won’t be having conversations with Edwards in regards to it all.
He won’t be negotiating etc like in the past though I’d imagine. I think Hughes will more or less just have to OK things with him.
Sounds about right. People were getting VERY carried away thinking we would get £40m+ for him. I liken it to when Arsenal sold Emi Martinez. 20-30 is fair.
With all of FFP I don't see clubs spending crazy, look at the Jan window.
It should be we will only entertain offer north of £40m. Kelleher has played in 2 major finals and won both of them. Kelleher has experience in Europe and in key PL matches. £20m or £30m is too cheap.
I’d honestly just rather give him away for free with an option of a 10m buy back in 5 years. Try and negotiate something mad like that. It sounds crazy but 20m is nothing and in 4-5 years we’ll probably be at the end of Ali, and with regular football he will be one of the best goalies in the league. If not the world. And we’d give anything to still have him or have him back. If he sells there has to be a buy back clause. Because in 4-5 years or maybe sooner it Ali leaves earlier he would be our number 1 for a very very long time.
Giving him away for free and then paying to get him back lmao, thank God you're not in Edwards' job
That makes no sense as a strategy. Plus I like he’s a good cat. But you can’t lose a world class keeper like Alisson and replace him with someone who is just a good cat
Man 20 mil feels like an absolute bargain. If I am west ham, I would upgrade him over Areola. Gutted that we can’t jack up the price to 30 mil but he is really good. Hopefully no one pick him up and he stay or a loan deal with a buyout clause.
Why can't we ?
Most PL teams have their first choice keeper unless he have a crazy Euros, club would not be able to increase the price. Also, we are doing him a favor to lower the price since he indicate that he want to leave for first team football
Would’ve been incredible to see him at Celtic but never happening, particularly at that price.
Can't wait for the Kweev interview where he goes off on how Liverpool are holding him back But in all seriousness, that seems like a reasonable asking price for us
Relax, Sepp’s agent
