We already did - he’s called Adrian.
Pitaluga will play the League Cup & Adrian will sit on the bench.
My stance has never changed regarding Kelleher (or the 2nd choice keeper in general).
2nd choice keeper is the least important in the squad, most times you don't even know who the #2 at other clubs are....they play the least amount of minutes as it's usually incredibly rare for a keeper to pick up (a significant) injuries that'll see someone like Adrian or Kelleher fill in.
The guy's 24/25 & he's played 20 games......, he needs that opportunity to establish himself as #1 wherever that may be and I believe we need to allow him that opportunity......I know Klopp perhaps feels differently on this from what he said previously. £15-20m is very fair and hope for all parties, it happens.

He isn't even number 3 so how does he get number 2? As long its not nervy Adrian. Wes Foderingham of Sheffield United should be cheap. He was rated the best goal keeper in the Championship?
There should be some GK available on a free somewhere
Loads of GK that are free, like De Gaya. Home grown is what we need, and the only I could see is Joe Lumley. Most GK are cheap.. they should buy someone
Honestly, bring him on, if he's willing to play second fiddle and is asking for peanuts
I get the impression that Adrian's role in the squad is more as the guy in the nets on the training ground doing loads of work while the outfield players are doing training drills (and the other keepers are training with the specialist coaches).
I remember reading something recently, in an international context, which talked about how the number 3 keeper was an unsung hero in the 23-man squad. The number 1 obviously did the business in games, the number 3 worked hard with training drills and the number 2 keeper was basically a fifth wheel unless the number 1 got injured.
So we either promote Adrian to number 2 or get a replacement number 2 in. I'd prefer the latter, partly because I'm not a fan of what Adrian has brought to first team football when he has played, but also because I think we should look for a longer-term solution at number 2. And if Adrian is doing a good job in training and he's happy with that number 3 roles (which he seems to be) then he should stay in that role.

So basically what you are saying is the role of the 3rd goalkeeper is to tell a few jokes, be a good egg, and help Allison with his training drills by throwing balls at him. How do I apply for this job?
Yeah, and also be the one who risks getting injured in training because he is dispensable.
For 5000-20000 per week plus health insurance and the ability to watch games live for free, I will take it.
Agree - It would suck because he's ace though. Absolutely wouldn't begrudge him if he does go. 20mill seems decent. If wolves get him it would a coup for them.
Fair enough price. Not amazing, but about right. He is a good player but hasn't really played that many games. I can't see his value going up very much in the next year or so if he stayed.
I would rather we kept him. He is one of the best back up keepers we have had. But if we can get a decent amount of money and then either promote from within or get someone in fairly cheaply then it is decent business.

Great idea!!
Wouldn't mind that at all tbh.
But with Moutinho & Neves both gone, on top of Dendonker leaving last Jan...don't think they'd wanna sell another midfielder...not sure who they even have left.
Yeah but they Wolves innit ? - always fighting for a few scraps and left-overs. I am sure they can manage in the forest that is the PL.
