Friedal to Replace Reina?

 

If Liverpool current goalkeeper Pepe Reina happens to leave the club in the next transfer window, its reported that Liverpool boss Kenny Daglish might sign 39-year-old Brad Friedel as a decent replacement.

Liverpool are set to make a stunning bid for current Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel to extend his admirable Barclays Premier League appearance record into a another season.

The 39-year-old American, whose contract will run out at Aston Villa at the end of the season, is currently on Kenny Dalglish’s list of options if Pepe Reina leaves the club in the next transfer window.

Pepe Reina has claimed that he’d rather move to other clubs than stay for another long season without Champions League football.

Manchester United and Arsenal are very keen to have his signature, which would leave Kenny Dalglish in a wild search for an experienced goalkeeper – and Brad Friedel is certainly one of the few that have topped his list.

Friedel – whose amazing career in England officially began at Liverpool – would fit the bill. He will turn 40 in May, but age is definitely not a factor for him as yesterday’s trip to Everton extended his record for consecutive top-flight appearances to an unprecedented 259 games.
