reina + dudek + carson + kirkland

chong-ster SG

seems like reina is confirmed a Red next season.. that'll leave us with 4 goalkeepers!!

dudek saved us in the CL final... although prone to concentration lapses

kirkland, injury jinxed, has always been dubbed the future england 1, recently linked with a loan move to W.B.A

carson has been a consistent u-21 english goalkeeper, recently called up for the england friendlys in the U.S.A

any comments/ideas on whos leaving??

The man who was death SG

Baros for sure lah, dudek maybe lah, all the players on loan out for sure lah hamann out lah

Patrik SG

I stil think stick to Carson.

Unfortunately, if Reina does come, i think Kirkland will be the one sacrificed. I think Beni will want one FIRST CHOICE (Reina), one EXPERIENCED cover (Dudek) and one POTENTIAL STAR (Carson). I like Kirkland, but he is too unfortunate with injuries and i think Beni would not have patient to wait for a star that never will be.

Poolman SG

Hmm ....... in fact we have

1. Dudek
2.Carson
3.Kirkland
4.Luzi Patrice ... remember him ?

This Luzi Patrice is almost certain to leave , follow by Dudek , trust me , Dudek is leaving !

Reason ? Old liao .

If you all aware of Liverpool's set-up , most of the time , the average age of the team is 24+ ! Being 29 , coming to 30 , Dudek valuation will drop when he reach 30 , so now since he has some value , Benitez will release him .

Next season , our No.1 will be Carson , then Reina , follow by the fit again Kirkland .

This three keeper will rotate between competitions .

stellazio SG

i dun understand..keeper old ok wad..more experience nia..and for keeper need lots of exp..so i doubt u will use age as an excuse to sell keepers..

gasband SG

Patrice Luzi left liao.

Poolman SG

Maybe it's Rick Parry's policy of maintaining a squad of avergae age of 24+ .

Dudek is good , but if you can recall , Dudek's mid season's form is below average , we can't afford to lose points because of his inconsistency between the post .

Maybe Kirkland's will go , if Dudek stays . I felt bad for Kirkland , the injuries he substained seems to make Benitez losing patience .

Medicated Oil SG

Liverpool will need a experienced goal keeper to keep goal for key matches.

Dudek is the guy.

As for Kirkland, he is not really impressive and was not able to keep any clean sheet when he is playing.

Kirkland have to go.

Airbus330Captain SG

Dudek tends to lapse and concede soft goals at times … you noticed that whoever wear the no 1 jersay seen to be jinxed or something …. James, Westerveld and possibily Dudek.

RSP SG

If Dudek ever leaves, it won't be because he is old. It'll be more like LFC needs new transfer funds to bring in more of the Benitez kind of player.

Reina comes with a high reputation.Hopefully, he'll impress and establish himself as the solid num 1 choice in goal for many seasons to come.

Having only bought Carson recently, Benitez is unilkely to offload him. Moreover, he's played well when called upon and recently broke into the English youth team.

Kirkland, I really think his days are the club are up. With all respect to him touted as a future England number 1, his injuries problems are unbelievable, and you just get the feeling that Benitez is running out of patience with the injuries.

Medicated Oil SG

Put it this way.

If you have a whole soccer season with a whole soccer team injured, would you learn your lesson already in preparation for the next season ???

I think Ah Ben is a brave man to actually survive a EPL season with a makeshift squad. He never ONCE use INJURY as a reason for defeat.

But, I dun think he want any more injuries to happen for the next season.

He WANTS the EPL title !!!!

He have to be ruthless to be successful.

I believe he will be more garang in changing the whole team structure for Liverpool.

Now, I have a feeling that I will not recognise the team sheet in August.

hmsg SG

agreed... Kirkland will fetch as much as Dudek too...

Redz SG

my guess is Kirkland will be on loan or sold...dudek will stay 2 give Reina a fight for place.
