      Throw Johnny Henry in goals and tell him every time we concede the f**ker has to give us another mil for transfers. We'd never concede again.

      Perin would be a good shout. Apparently Benfica are in for him so we should get a wiggle on if we're interested.

      Maybe we could tempt David James to leave his Kerala Blasters FC and the Indian Super League.

      Seems Brendan Rodgers is most definitely looking for a goalkeeper this January...

      Mig needs to improve with the ball at his feet? Needs to catch a bloody cross first!
      Hes a pussy, get him some Bovril and leave him out in the rain. He needs to toughen up a bit.

      if at the end of this window Mignolet and Jones (aka Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum) are still our first and second choices keepers, I think I might break something.

      Rodgers caught redhanded yet again in another barefaced lie:

      Quote
      Liverpool face Sunderland, Mignolet’s former club, this afternoon and Rodgers has admitted the Belgium goalkeeper still has facets of his game that he needs to improve. “He has come in here under massive expectation to replace a player [Pepe Reina] who was outstanding for Liverpool for seven or eight years,” Rodgers said.

      Oh really?  he was brought to "replace" Pepe?

      because you, Mr. Rodgers, told us when we signed Mignolet that he was definitely NOT brought to replace Reina.  no, no, no.  He was brought to add "competition."  Before you unceremoniously kicked Pepe to the curb without even telling him to his face before announcing it on the club website.

      the man is a pathological liar.

      Lying is part of the life for a football manager, reacting like a petulant child isn't the job  of a fan, but glad to see you've settled into the role.

      Lying to whom?

      you're saying that we should expect the manager of Liverpool Football Club to lie to the supporters?

      Because the summer Pepe left, Rodgers several times said to the supporters that Mignolet was NOT brought to replace Pepe, that he was meant to be competition.

      Of course we knew as soon as he got rid of Pepe that that was a lie.  but now we have verbal confirmation from the man that he lied, not to an agent, not to another club, but to the supporters.

      and you have no issue with that?

      It happens all the time, how many times has a manager said we played well and it's a blatant lie and of course it's happen over transfer dealings, to go faux vesuvius over it is unbecoming, unless you are stupid and naive, and while some on here may label you as that, I'm not one of them.

      Kenny never banged on about our performances being great when they weren't.  The only sugar coating he ever did (at least the second time around) was that we were "a work in progress."

      managers of other clubs can do whatever they want.  I just think we should hold our managers to a bit of a higher standard.

      anyway.  if you're suggesting Rodgers and his repeated lies are par for the course then I won't argue it.  you may be right.

      but if that's true then at the very least we should stop heralding him as the next so-and-so and someone "who truly understands the club" etc etc.  if he's going to lie to us again and again then he's just another manager with no more respect for the supporters than any other manager at any other club.

      I certainly remember KK saying players had good games, when they hadn't.  It's so common as to be a laughable thing to get upset about.

      I don't know.  There are a lot of things to dislike about Rodgers, obviously.  But for some reason that whole Reina/Mignolet situation in particular really rubbed me the wrong way.  It's not even about who is the better keeper---Pepe had been in decline for a few seasons before he was shipped out.

      But just f**king come out and say you're replacing Pepe with Mignolet.  Don't give us this song and dance about competition blah blah blah.  I think it just encapsulates everything that we keep doing wrong; not only the lying in footballing terms, but going out of his way to lie to hide the truth that they just wanted Pepe's wages off the books etc etc, i.e. Doing FSG's dirty work for them and getting rid of a loyal player while telling the supporters that it's for reason X when it's clearly for reason Y.

      That just really infuriated me for some reason.

      Vorm is a good keeper, 31 (almost goal keepers prime), sitting on the Spurs bench. Has worked with Rodgers before. Knows the system Rodgers wants to play.

      Seems an ideal solution.

      To be honest at this point I'd even have Friedel back if we're not going to get anyone until the summer.

      Bring Friedel back on loan, he can still play and is a lot better now than when he was with us the first time.  Surely he'd rather play half a season with us than sit the bench with Spurs.

      I know, but sometimes it's best to leave Fed alone.  If he really wants to talk about liars, he's threatened several times to leave if certain things did or did not happen, but he's still here!  Shocking. :) ;D

      cmon friedel is way too old and Vorm is good proven prem league keeper in his prime(age wise)

      also i dont think migs is bad either, his confidence is just rock bottom right now. But if we can get him back to where he was for next season, we would have very strong goalkeeping options at that point

      and whose fault is that?

      The first time he ever played for us, he faced a penalty that would've given Stoke a draw.  He stopped it, everyone swarmed him, we won, he was the most popular person on Merseyside.

      your career at a new club can't start any better than that.

      then HE started making mistakes.  And THAT'S why his "confidence" is low, although I doubt that's really the issue.  Even when his confidence was high he still struggled with distribution etc.

      he's just not good enough.  Instead of wasting more time with him why don't we bring someone in who IS good enough.

      It's not often I agree with you Feds but your right, Mignolet is simply just not good enough ,

      Vorm is a decent keeper not so sure tho he's LFC standard , having said that tho he would a vast improvement on Migs,

      another I like is Krul from 'Toon', big commanding type , athletic , good distribution plenty of Prem experience to, he could be tempted , I'm sure he'd love the opportunity of playing CL if we get there , ATM, he's got no chance of that playing with the barcodes .

      GK wish list w/most ideal first:

      Michel Vorm: Experienced and consistent, but I don't know why it didn't happen this summer. Something tells me this ship has sailed.

      Asmir Begovic: One of the PL's top keepers for years now; very surprised he hasn't moved to a top club yet. But if he came in it'd mean Migs out as I can't see FSG having two high-earning gk's on the payroll.

      Petr cech: possibly makes the most sense for us but I can't see Maureen/roman selling us a used cock ring after letting studge go.

      Zeljko Brkic: haven't seen him play that much but is seemingly rated by many and would be fairly inexpensive.

      Loan moves for either ter stegen or Simone Scuffet could also serve an end because unlike some I haven't totally written off Migs yet. Quality backup to keep him on the bench for a bit might carry us over to a time where he will perhaps gain some confidence back and gradually reclaim his place.
