I think both careers will cross in the Championship. That's where Travers is doing the business week-in week-out with a top club. There are now less ifs and buts about him and I think he's earned a recall.
Lot of suppositions there, but with respect to Kelleher, PL clubs like Liverpool don’t have established No 2’s who they don’t think are already at PL level. He has already leapfrogged Karius and Adrian.Quote:

Sods law they'll get a postponement now... He doesn't have the best of luck when it comes to first-team chances
He'd have much more luck if he went somewhere he'd be guaranteed games!Quote:

At 23 he should be playing regularly now if he's as good as some make him out to be
One point to make is kelleher will be set for life financial a long time before Gavin
Because is number 2 at arguably the best team in the world
…and only a couple of days later saved a pen from Salah who hadn’t missed in ages. Also saved a pen from Kane in Euros semi final. How often does Kane miss pens?Quote:

So which is it? Saving pens is a sign of quality or it isn’t? Or does it depend?
Pretty obvious you’re not discussing this topic in good faith tbh.
A footballer and his money are easily parted, sadlyQuote:

Funny how the "arguable best team in the world" are currently only 3rd best team in their own countryQuote:

I think it’s harsh to judge him on the goals conceded against Leicester.
Most keepers would’ve struggled to keep them out.
He’s a great talent and hopefully we see more of him for Liverpool.
Bazunu is a great talent too but has had a few brain farts for Ireland too. Yes he saved a peno V Ronaldo but Ronaldo wouldn’t have had the peno if it wasn’t for Bazunu’s mistake
The suppositions were your fanciful predictions on future career prospects which were not statements of fact.Quote:

Ideally we’d like to see them both playing regularly at PL level, but there’s no obvious immediate route for ether of them at present. At the risk of antagonising the Bazunu lobby and showing my LFC bias, I’d say Kelleher has the better prospects of getting a move to a lower PL or Championship side on the basis of his current status at Liverpool. Bazunu is a great prospect, but is still developing and is prone to the odd error. Including Travers, I’d say all three are better keepers now than Randolph ever was, so whatever happens next, it’s not an area of weakness in the current squad.Quote:
