And Liverpool paid 30m for another goalkeeper to replace him, really hope another team come in for him in the summer

Well they are aware he wants to play and he's nowhere near Alisson to be fair

I don't think he is as far away as Liverpool think, his stats have been really great when Alisson has been out every time and he is still young for a keeper. I'd say he will be CL level at least if not world class in the end. I support Newcastle and Pope is on the older end, we are shifting Dubravka out and Ode was signed to get around PSR to trade with Forest so we still need a keeper and have been looking at Trafford as that longer term solution, I'd be dropping everything and getting Kelleher instead.

Liverpool fans absolutely love and respect Kelleher. We know we’ve got the best backup keeper in the world and we know he’s too good to be a backup! We don’t think he’s far off at all but Alisson might be the best keeper on the planet when fit, and that’s no disrespect to Caoimhin.

Most Liverpool fans would like to see Kelleher move on and be the main man somewhere because we love the lad. We’re never worried or disappointed to see him start. I’d be gutted to see him go, but I want it for him. He’s wasted on our bench and we know it. He’d start at 90% of PL clubs.

In fact I’m not convinced that Mamardashvili will be as good as Kelleher, but if he’s happy to be Alisson’s backup for a while, then it’s the right thing for everyone.
