First of all, he will never replace Pepe Reina in goal. He will only be back up. How often does Pepe have a blunder? I hardly even called last night a blunder, I'm guessing the sun light and Chamakh's infringement caused it and it's never easy when the ball comes off the post because it happens so fast. If I remember rightly, the last major blunder he made was against Everton a long time ago or that one against Chelsea in 2008/2009.
I don't see why we need him other than what many have said above. If we have Brad Jones, we have an extra Home Grown player and instead of wasting a foreigner place on the bench with Cavalieri, we could do with the extra cash generated from his sale on another import.
Liverpool are on the verge of signing Middlesbrough and Australia international goalkeeper Brad Jones.
The move had been on the cards for some weeks now but Sky Sports News has on Monday confirmed the player has agreed personal terms and is currently undergoing a medical.
Manager Roy Hodgson wants to make Jones, who is classed as a home-grown player under new Premier League rules, his number two keeper behind Jose Reina.
Jones is expected to pen a three-year contract upon completion of his medical while Sky Sports understands the transfer fee to be around £2.5million.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's number one keeper Reina made all the wrong headlines following his mistake on Sunday which gifted Arsenal a late equaliser at Anfield.
Liverpool were on the verge of securing a 1-0 win against the Gunners despite Joe Cole's first half dismissal, until Reina fumbled the ball into his own net.
The club have confirmed that it will not appeal against the red card shown to Cole.
