But they must come through the ranks of some club somewhere, no ?
Not many 17 year old kids get straight into the first team from the youth ranks
And they tend to go on loan to lower league clubs, look at the hype and progress of Henderson at utd
Look at us signing David James or Chris Kirkland.. they started at âsmallerâ clubs
Kelleher looks a proper talent, but what sort of percentage would want him to be full time number one right now?
Ali makes a mistake but has the depth of experience behind him to shrug it off himself or the fans to shrug it off as a one off thing
If Kelleher made them would his shoulders be wide enough? Would the crowds nervousness because of it get to him?
Ali played for Internacional back home but didnât play first team for them until he was 21, didnât move to Europe until he was 25
Iker Casillas is a famous one, but played Real C and B before making his debut at 20 and was in and out the first year
Particularly in this country I canât think of any keeper come through at a top club through their own ranks
