New one needed... Can't believe we allowed Valdes to train at United, aka make it ****ing difficult to get him. Enyeama, Mandanda, Begovic, Handonovic, would take any of these guys in a heartbeat. Proven, played at the top level and big tournaments, not afraid to get into the ass of someone if they aren't pulling their weight and will come off the line.
We have to wait till summer..clubs are not going to let go their good keeper in the middle of the season. Brendan Rodgers mistake was to let Pepe Reina go.
From Middlesborough in the Championships bench to Liverpool number one? If it happens lets make a film.
I get the impression we rushed to find a replacement. We looked at the two best options in the Premier League outside of the top 6, saw Mignolet and Begovic and chose the youngest. On hindsight we should have signed Vorm if time was so limited. But in total reality we should have taken our time and looked abroad. Every one knew Reina was likely to leave for months before the season ended. The deal was dealt with like it happened with out warning.
He's a life long Liverpool fan?! No wonder he's ****... all our life long fans have been **** for us. We need to sign more Everton fans
He really, really doesn't. Brad Jones is one of the least talented goalkeepers to play in the Premiership. Let's be honest, we can all laugh at this because most of them played for Man Utd! But seriously... remember Arsenal winning 8-0 against Boro... guess who was in goal? Guess who should have stopped 5 of them at least! And he's not got any better. His reactions are really slow for a top level goalkeeper, his handling is adequate, and his kicking and distribution tends to be very weak. Mignolet is a much better keeper, he just is. He's not had a brilliant time, thus far, but he is a good keeper. The question for me is whether he's suited to Liverpool's game. Mignolet is a shot-stopper, he's not an all-round ball player like Lloris or Nueur, which is the kind of the goalkeeper Rodgers probably requires. I'd say giving Mignolet time is imperative. Much more time. De Gea is only now looking solid for Man Utd, he spent two years as an absolute clown. He is an intelligent chap, he's got a degree, I think he can adapt better given time.
Ming is playing badly, Jones is our only other option atm. If he's been so tragically bad one wonders how he's been kept on for so long. It's ard to be worse than Ming right now. Talking about Jones' bad performances years ago is pointless to the extreme, ALL keepers have mares they'd like to forget. Reina was prone to the odd mare. We've had two choices, Ming or Jones, Ming we know is on really bad form so.. Degrees are 10 a penny, they are not even remotely related to intelligence Johnson has more than one I think
This guy is talking a lot of sense Neither of them are good enough but Jones is a joke of a goalkeeper and probably league 1 standard at best. Middlesbrough fans were celebrating when he left their club, and they were in the championship. How bad do you think a player is for a championship team to celebrate him leaving. He is awful, stealing a living sitting on the bench taking our money. Every time you go to Anfield and watch him warm up he ****s up on about 1 in 5 shots. He's cost us more goals in 3 games than Mignolet has in a season and a half, and he gets praise for doing that from some on this board.
The only thing Jones has on Mig is that his kicking is about 10% better and he is off his line a bit quicker. I'd still rather have a keeper that at least dives the right way though. Even yesterday Jones just stood and watched the shot go against the post rather than make an attempt at it!
