Hmm. I dunno... I'm not sure how seemly it is really to be looking at this from an advantageous, Kelleher point-of-view given the circumstances, in my view.
I think it’s reasonable to post here about the possibility this could result in playing time for Kelleher. Nobody here has expressed glee about the situation.
The poster may mean the Liverpool situation.
I am too. I don’t think it’s inappropriate for posters to suggest that this unfortunate death could result in Kelleher getting game time. I view it more as giving everyone a heads up that Kelleher could get a game this weekend, in case we want to watch. Hypothetical sure but nobody is thrilled about the death or has even moderately expressed that sentiment.
Fair enough. I didn't mean to suggest anyone would be derive pleasure from the news.
Adrian gets the start, Kelleher not on the bench, but Northern Ireland u-21 goalkeeper Liam Hughes serves as the back-up goalkeeper for Liverpool today.
Assume Kelleher is injured so?
I'm not sure, but I'm thinking he must be. Liverpool were apparently keen to sign Kelleher to a contract extension two weeks ago.
Liverpool have no intention of sending Caoimhin Kelleher out on loan:

Sitting on the bench for the year playing cup ties or dead rubber CL group games will do his development absolutely no good.
The worst part about that article for me is that they have offered Adrian a deal to stay too. Now, I would assume that Kelleher is the number two there, based on the fact that he was before he got the abdomen injury, but if Alisson is playing every game and doesn't get injured then he may as well be third choice than second. I would love for Kelleher to get a season EDIT: out on loan but he did so well when Alisson was out injured last season that it is hard to blame Klopp for managing that risk by keeping Kelleher around but it might not be the best thing for Kelleher's development.. or maybe it is?

Allison is only 28 and arguably the best keeper in the world, while Caoimhin is 22 going on 23 this year. His long term career is almost certainly away from Liverpool. The argument of developing there is valid, but there's only so much he can learn firing balls at Allison in the warm-up at Anfield. He needs to play sooner rather than later.
I'd be hopeful that if Adrian does sign the contract the option to let Kelleher out on loan will be a real one again. Presumably until they're sure of another back up option they don't want to commit to letting him go. A new contract before he's allowed to go on loan makes sense for Liverpool too, because if he has a brilliant loan and is under a long term contract his transfer value rockets. Hopefully he looks for a clause in the contract that lets him go on loan too. If he's not playing then you'd have to think there's no chance of a start for us in September. Bazunu looks like the only keeper who is almost certain to be starting for his loan club when the new season starts, Randolph very unlikely to be anywhere other than a bench and similar story for most of our other keepers.

You’d believe that a Loan Move would be best for Kelleher ~ ~ But Liverpool are doing what they think is best for them.
At 23 this year, Kelleher needs to be playing games. Hopefully something changes and he gets to play games.
There seems to be an new acceptance of youth, or young players. 25 seems to be acceptable as young still, for me they need to be hitting their peak shortly after then. top flight career is short enough as it is.
You see it with the English players, hitting their stride realising their potential early 20s. Not sure where thats changed a long the way here.

Id agree, at 23 you cant play the young player card. You need to be playing 1st team football. If Kelleher is as good as we think he might be then there should be some bottom half Premiership clubs interested in taking him on loan. Similar situation to Henderson and DeGea at United. Henderson was great at Sheffield United and then went back to United to challenge for the keeper spot. United I believe made a business decision that Henderson would be cheaper to keep than DeGea and there wasnt much between them. That may happen at Liverpool but Kelleher needs a year or 2 of 1st team football to prove himself first.
I agree with the sentiment but it would be more likely in a loan to the Championship v Premier League and, even then, there is a risk that a year (or two) of first team football wouldn't be a guarantee (or even guarantee-able) as part of the loan. It appears to me that GKs seem to very rarely go on loan to become a first choice keeper unless it is further down the leagues. But i could be wrong.
Yeah I wouldnt be surprised if it was Championship, but I would think there are a number of clubs who could do with an upgrade at keeper even in the short term of 1 season.
Kelleher is relatively high profile given that hes played Champions League games for Liverpool so I would think he could get a decent move
