It does seem strange - £14 million on two keepers when in all fairness we are not that desperate!! Still it puts things in perspective a bit - One mistake and your out!! Shame because Ive always had faith in Westervelt and he has been an important factor in our treble, charity sheild and super cup victories!!

Liverpool have signed Chris Kirkland from Coventry for a British transfer record for a goalkeeper, after a move for Jerzy Dudek collapsed.
Sky Blues manager Gordon Strachan had wanted to keep the 20-year-old at Highfield Road, but with The Reds offering a figure reported to be between £6million - £8million, the Division One club could not refuse.
Coventry chairman Bryan Richardson told Sky Sports: "Very reluctantly, we have agreed to accept an offer from Liverpool for Chris Kirkland. The offer, which breaks the British transfer fee record for a goalkeeper, was accepted as a consequence of relegation from the FA Premier League.
Kirkland will be eligible for Liverpool's Champions League campaign as the deal was signed before the midnight deadline. Coventry's second-choice keeper Magnus Hedman - whose future had been in some doubt - will now take his place.
Reds manager Gerard Houllier was desperate to sign a new keeper following the recent poor form of current number one Sander Westerveld. The 26-year-old Dutchman's error against Bolton last Monday handed The Trotters an unlikely 2-1 win, costing Liverpool valuable points in the Premiership, and Houllier will not want a repeat in the league or European competition.
Dudek had looked certain to move to Anfield from his present club Feyenoord in a £5million deal, but the Poland international failed a medical and the deal collapsed, prompting Liverpool to turn their attentions to Coventry's highly-rated youngster Kirkland.

It reminded me of of taibi's blunder a few seasons back! and look what happened to him! back on the next flight to Italy!
It doesnt hurt to have a bit of competition - However how many times can you afford to make a mistake?? Once is enough especially in the Premiership. Im not slating Westervelt, he has done brilliantly since joining its just one silly mistake can cost you your place!!
