I’m assuming Olsen is going, so if Martinez does go I can actually see us looking for 2 keepers, depending on if Unai thinks Gauci is ready.

So the lad Garcia ((Espanyol?) and Kelleher could be two we’re looking at.

Kelleher isn't coming here to be second choice. If we're looking at bringing in a second potential 1st choice keeper, he'll be off to Leeds or the like.

I actually forgot about Gauci completely. He's not what you'd call experienced, but I guess he's slightly ahead of Zych if both Martinez and Olsen leave.

There's no chance it'll be Gauci. Only played 5 or 6 matches for Barnsley on loan.

Fans would never pronounce his first name properly, just call him the bastardised Sassenach version, "Kevin" Kelleher.

Proctor's only 18, but looks 30.  Get him in!

To be fair, I work with a Caoimhin and there's no consensus in the office as to whether he's KeyVeen or QueeVeen. See also Rosheen and RoeSheen.

Definitely QueeVeen and RoeSheen. Glad to have been of assistance.

Hopefully they won't mind when you use the correct pronunciation.

Kelleher/Kelliher is a good distributor of the ball. But you are talking Shay Given levels of presence in the box, not sure about his ability to save shots outside the box either. Martinez at his best is a fair old presence in our box.

Looked up that video of players saying their names and Kelleher says KeyVeen. So there you have it.

They're wrong and Brazillian-Irish-Villain is right. Blame their dumb parents.

I once met a “Sibohan’’ in a school.

I checked and she pronounced it as Siobhan, but I wondered why someone hadn’t spellchecked her birth certificate at the time…and sorry, there isn’t a fada on my keyboard!

My bad phrasing, meant Gauci as number 2.

Has anyone ever seen Unai's boy play? If so, any good?
