“Can’t go there” – Former Liverpool legend tells current player not to join Chelsea | OneFootball

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has been pleading with former Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher not to join Chelsea.

Kelleher came through the Liverpool academy but he is not playing for Premier League side Brentford. But he has had Chelsea links before.

Chelsea themselves have a right old goalkeeper situation going on right now. Robert Sanchez was number one, then Liam Rosenior handed that position to Filip Jorgensen. But he has already fumbled his chance with an awful performance against PSG in mid week. Many will say that Chelsea need to sign a new number one keeper, and many would not be wrong.

Is Kelleher the guy though? Well, Aldridge doesn’t want him anywhere near Chelsea!

In words picked up on X this week, Aldridge said on Kelleher to Chelsea links:

“Chelsea? He can’t go there. He’s done his apprenticeship at Liverpool, he’s in an apprenticeship now with a team that’s doing really well.”

OK. Odd reason to say he can’t go to Chelsea, but OK. I think Chelsea need to be looking at a better all round goalkeeper than him anyway, because this has become a really problematic position for us and it is something that finally needs to be sorted out one way or another.

In other news this week…

Goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has been slammed for some of his actions post game at PSG earlier this week. After what was a nightmare performance from the Blues stopper, he then tried to ignore Chelsea fans and walk off down the tunnel.

Reece James has tried to claim the PSG tie isn’t over yet – but we’re all being realistic about that now. Of course, factually it is not over, but realistically, it is all but over. Chelsea need to score three goals next week without conceding, to even take it to extra time.
