After all of last week's commotion surrounding the goalkeeping position at Liverpool, things have died down to the point of silence, with no further links appearing to Asmir Begovic or anyone else. Some indirectly relevant news today, though, as Barcelona's Victor Valdes announced his intent to stay with the club through the end of the 2013-2014 season. Pepe Reina had been widely reported to have interest in a move back to Spain, but with Valdes intent on staying, it'd be hard to see Liverpool's number one make an exit now.

Although you can only imagine that we persuaded Butland to sign with some sort of "promise". I thought at the time that we signed Butland that Begovic was off to United, but in fairness to De Gea, he improved significantly over the second half of the season. Time will tell! |

If Bego stays does that mean Sorro goes?
We couldn't keep Bego, Sorro and Butland happy so I presume it will be first in first out.

He kept us up last season and is the most talented player we have. £15-20m is a hell of a lot of money though. |

What will happen to Butland though? We'll surely have to keep loaning him until Begovic is gone since he signed for us for first team football?

At the moment, i can only see Arsenal being in the market for a new no.1 and with Wenger being handed a wad of cash this summer i hope we'll get top whack for him.
i truly believe with the season just gone he has developed into arguably the best keeper in the league.

I think bego is probably the best keeper in the league at the moment but we've signed an international keeper who won't want to sit on the bench. 20 million quid would plug a lot of gaps in our squad. |

Crnt see his stock dropping that much..for at least another season...in fact it will probably rise..But maybe Arse-nal will sign him...  |

I'm kind of hoping our goalkeeper won't be player of the year next season. |

Old ground but I still cannot believe he wasn't #1 in the Prem team of the year.

Old ground but I still cannot believe he wasn't #1 in the Prem team of the year. Me too. But I see so few public endorsements for Bego my sense is that 'outsiders' don't rate him quite as highly as we do. For that reason offers will be more in the £5m - £10m range than the £10m - £15m which we are presumeably hoping for. For that reason I think it is possible, if not likely, that he will still be with us in August. Then we have the what to do with Butland and Sorro question to address. |

God's agree with you totally.
It would be a travesty if he went for less than The Shit paid for De Gea.
I know we won't get it but still a travesty.

I think he's as good as Begovic was the season before now! Asmir has come on in leaps and bounds over the last twelve months that he is streets ahead of Mignolet... Although I still think the Mackem keeper is pretty good  |

I think Begovic is better than Mignolet, but the figures Oatcakers demand are ridiculous. If we get 15 million like originally quoted, I don't think we can complain too much. More would be a bonus.

I was of the opinion that if we could get £15m or more for Bego then I'd be happy for him to go. But now, I feel like we need to keep him at least another year. He's only going to improve and when you think how good he was last season, without him we could have been looking forward to a season in the Championship. Butland looks a good keeper and one for the future but if we want to push for a top 10 finish next season it's essential we keep hold of Begovic, Huth, Shawcross and Wilson. I think if we can add a quality right back then we have a really solid base to go from for the rest of the team and i'll be looking forward to seeing who Sparky brings in forwards-wise. The communication and relationship between the back 4 and their keeper takes time to establish and we need to keep that going next season in my opinion.

Plus ca change. He not said anything there that suggests he's staying put. The headline puts its own slant on a load of ambiguous statements that he has been making for a year or more.

Liverpool are sniffing round Mignolet as well according to my Liverpool supporting mate.
We won't get anywhere near £15 million for Begovic if he does go.
