    Hawd the bus, I'm seeing figures of £20m for this guy, me and my bro honestly thought he was a foreigner (not counting Ireland obviously), actually I thought it was that goalie who * up in the CL final.

    He can't even make the Ireland squad, regardless of game time, sorry there's a guy in the squad that sounds like a gameshow host, Max OLeary. Never heard of any of the goalies bar Bazuna, cannae mind if he's possibly the Villa goalie? And he never impressed me when I've saw him before.

    To even quote figures like that is ridiculous.

    Bazunu plays for Southampton, a highly rated keeper who they bought from City for a * load of money, but has been a little shakey since he's signed for them.

    Kelleher usually is in the Ireland squad and surprised he's not in considering he's actually had some minutes in the Europa. I'd imagine it's probably due to a small knock/injury, but absolutely agree he's not worth close to £20m. I would love for us to loan him in January with a buy option & view to making it permanent in the Summer, that way we can see if he's worth spending a larger (£7/8m?) amount on.

    Maybe now we should be opening up the negotiations for him.

    His brother fiacre was with us 2012-2017..I think he's a very good goalkeeper and at 25 if was available for the right fee could absolutely kick on for years to come..

    To me he seems a massively over rated and priced option. There are a number of good goalkeepers out there that could be picked up at a fraction of the price.

    He's poor, always has been. Never understood what people see in him.

    There was a period a few years back where he was very good in Liverpool’s cup runs and when he had to deputise for Alisson, but unfortunately he looks to have regressed massively from that period.

    Maybe he just needs consistent game time to get to that good level, or maybe he’s just not very good. I’d be open to a loan in January with an option to buy, but doubt Liverpool would want that.

    The second and third goals were attrocious, the third I think he should have saved. We'd be giving Hart * if he did that with us. I think Kelleher is better than that though and maybe just a bad day at the office. A big problem for him I think is that he's never gone out on loan and so far (including internationals) has played 39 senior games. If we took him we'd be paying big money for a project.

    Better value for that money elsewhere I reckon, paying prem tax if we went for him

    I'll have to trust you. Outside of that one final where he saved a few pens he's always looked really suspect to me, letting in soft goals and flapping, pretty poor positioning too a lot of the time.

    Funny as I watched the highlights as well and honestly don't think that many keepers save most of those.

    For me the vast majority of the blame lies with the centre backs in front of him. Pish defending to allow those chances to happen. VVD included.

    I don't think he will be the one we get anyway.

    He was honking in that game, most Liverpool fans down here said he is championship quality at best.

    said it in the Joe Hart thread I hope we are looking at him cause he will cost loads and be *.

    Another one of these type of players sell like Ibe who turn out pish but get good money for them cause it’s Liverpool.

    He didn't cover himself in glory but the first one springs to mind for example he's rushing to get that and the guy sticks his foot out and it alters direction, Centre backs were static.

    He reminds me of De Gea when he first went to Man United. Not as good perhaps but same stature and build and it doesn't immediately instil confidence. But need to remember his age and the fact GKs in general peak later in their career.

    A lot of people want us to sign a younger keeper and I think that's a good move but we will probably need to accept that mistakes will happen.
