We should keep Karius (wouldn't say hes on huge wages) as second/third choice, he still a better keeper than Adrian and we would only be getting a small pittance in terms of a fee for him.

It would allow Kelleher to go out on loan, Championship this season followed by EPL next summer.

He'll still be on a few million for the season. Getting that covered and any sort of loan fee isnt to be sniffed at considering he'll never play
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

The main problem isn't his wages or the fee we'd get for selling him, it's that he's an appallingly bad goalkeeper.

It's been done to death, but he's nowhere near as bad as people make out.

He was a step up from Mignolet (for the system we play at least) and he'd be better than Adrian, but obviously he's nowhere near the level of Alisson.

If he was ever going to get any more minutes for us, last season would have been ideal so he wouldn't have the crowd on his back, but really it's better for all parties if he moves on.

Haven't missed any memo.

The main point is that we should be looking to get Kelleher (hugely talented) a loan move to allow him develop.

Karius is a better keeper than Adrian.

Well, I wouldn't mind Karius staying and Kelleher going out on loan to a club where he will be playing every week. It could have a huge impact on his develooment at this stage of his career ...
