We all dream........ - .....of a team of goal keepers
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2006 10:34 pmIt looks like we are sorted for goalkeepers now:
Young Danish Goalkeeper Signed
Danish National TV are reporting that we've also bought the 15 year old Martin Hansen.
He's the Danish National U16 goalkeeper and he will join LFC this Summer (July 2006) when he has turned 16. He will be on a trainee contract until he turns 17. When he turns 17 he will get his professional contract which will run until 2009.
Add this youngster to Alvin Martins lad who we have apparently signed this week also:
Alvin Martins Son Signs In
Reds Sign Martin
Liverpool have signed MK Dons shot-stopper David Martin.
Martin had a trial with Liverpool earlier in the season and impressed during his stint there, and has - according to reports - been signed for a nominal fee.
Martin, 19, is the son of former West Ham and England centre-back Alvin Martin but has had to play second fiddle to first choice goalkeeper Matt Baker since the Welshman joined from Wrexham midway through the 2004/05 season.
He is an England youth international and could be set for a very promising future in the game, and will go straight into the Liverpool reserve squad to play with some of the Premiership's rising stars.
What with Pepe Reina being only 22 years of age, and seemingly about for the next ten years, Carson only 21 and possibly about for the same length of time, Dudek rotting in the reserves and Sicknote on loan at West Brom, I reckon we should give them all a run out at some stage, put all 5 sub keepers on the bench after we have tonked Benfica at their place and bring them on periodically.
On a serious note, it is wonderful to see that Rafa not only plans for the rest of the season, or next season but for a long time to some.
