Just read we are taking Lonergan on your Ed as cover. Any possibility we sign him or just purely cover? Bit of a strange one really?

{Ed001's Note - teams like a 3rd choice keeper with experience who helps coach the younger keepers too. We had one last season who left, I expect Lonergan is the replacement.}

Last season? Who was that Ed? I thought we had Alisson, Mignolet and Kelleher as the first 3.

{Ed001's Note - didn't we have the Austrian last season?}

I believe that was manninger the year before that.

But yes maybe makes more sense than a replacement!

I’d still be surprised if Mignolet stays for another year, at his age you want to be playing regularly.

Cheers Ed, appreciate your reply mate. So a good chance he could remain and be given a contract. Do you see Mignolet staying now also?

Did you no about Lonergan mate a good while ago out of interest I’m intrigued lol.

{Ed001's Note - there has been no interest in anyone paying Migs wages to be honest and he is willing to stay.

I didn't know about Lonergan, but I did know we were looking for an older experienced keeper to bring in.}

Manninger was quite a while ago now Ed.

We had Alisson, Mignolet and Kelleher last year. Season before was Karius, Mignolet and Ward. Season before that was Karius, Mignolet, and Manninger.

We never really replaced Manninger though.

{Ed001's Note - was it that long ago? I didn't realise.}

Klopp came out the other day and said Mignolet is staying. Of course this could just be what is said to the Media.

Cheers Ed

Things can slip by then mate without even you being aware lol.

{Ed001's Note - lots does.}

The same Lonergan that used to play for Preston North End?

According to reports he is only there for pre season due to the lack of goalkeepers available.

Pulled off a brilliant save against bradford. (migs) and hearing what the senior players say about him has changed my opinion of him a bit. Sounds like a good player to have around the squad.
