Yeah thats what you want - an inconsistent keeper.
You can only do that if he agrees to it.
Karius did OK from the January upto the Champions league final 15 clean sheets in 23 games.

We should sign him and let him rot in the reserves

Or, even worse, let him sign for Everton

I think the quote means he isnāt just a big fan of usā¦.but would be happy to play anywhere.
Otherwise itās just really odd.
As for this quota, does that include the likes of Karius, who wonāt be registered.

Non-homegrown (18): Alisson, Adrian, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Robertson, Matip, Konate, Fabinho, Thiago, Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Jota, Karius, Minamino, Shaqiri, Origi
Even if we do sell/donāt register Karius we would have to do so with another player to fit another non-homegrown player in.

We would have absolutely no trouble loaning out Minamino and heās under long term contract. We arenāt limited by this. Guys like Shaqiri and Origi may well be being fussy over which clubs theyāll move to or looking at numbers here and thinking staying and competing for places may be in their best interests. Someone else coming in definitely ahead of them in the pecking order may be the straw that breaks the cammels back when it comes to resisting any move they can get.

Or they might prefer to stay here, make the occasional appearance here and there and still end up with both Champions League and Premier League winnersā medals to add to the collection next May.
Itās that or struggle against relegation at Wolves/ West Ham/ Palace or wherever.

As soon as we go into any negotiation needing to get a player off the books for the quota weāre going to get fucked over, because the club weāre negotiating with knows weāre desperate.
To be honest, I think a reason why the interest around Shaq and Origi has been sluggish is because clubs know we need to move them on. Why would you give us ten million for either of them when there is a good chance weāll get more desperate as the window ticks on?
That decision to give Adrian a new deal is looking increasingly barmy. We could have swapped him for Ben Foster at no cost and had a spare place on list. Weād only be looking at shifting Karius to add another player.
This one has gotten pretty popular lately
Which suggests to me they have a plan in place ā¦. Could just not register Keita, doesnāt seem much of a point most seasons.
Are we though I mean weād all like to see a few upgrades come in but I donāt think were desperate to offload Shaq Origi etc they arent completely useless.
I think the club will be a little bit flexible with fees especially if the player makes it clear he wants to move on but I canāt see Edwards letting anyone low ball him heāa shown plenty of times he will play the long game even if it means holding on to a player an extra season

I guess even if true that other clubs are betting on how desperate we are, we too are going to do similar too. There are plenty of clubs with very good players who are desperate to cash in now, clubs like Lille and the spanish clubs who are in debtsā¦so I guess it goes both ways, I would think if, a BIG if, that if we are able to have zero cash outlay in terms of sales vs spend for the remaining players we want to sell vs those we want to buy, Edwards would trigger, regardless whether we believe we got the fair value or not.
