I would be really nervous letting someone so young and inexperienced take on our #1 spot... From all reports, as good as he has looked at times... He's far from the finished product and his distribution leaves a lot to be desired...

I would look at, in no particular order:

More experienced

Igor Akineev
Asmir Begovic
Fernando Muslera
Michel Vorm

If we go young:

Marc Andre Ter Stegen
Rafael (Santos)
Mattia Perin
Jason Steele

I'm sure there are many more to consider

Very interesting stat I came across. Liverpool's performances this season:

Games 1-5
2/15 points, 4 goals, 0 clean sheets

Games 6-10
9/15 points, 9 goals, 1 clean sheet

Games 11-15
8/15 points, 5 goals, 2 clean sheets

Games 16-20
9/15 points, 12 goals, 3 clean sheets

Games 21-25
8/15 points 9 goals, 1 clean sheet

The last batch of 5 games was against very tough opposition too. And all the tough games being away fixtures. So we are objectively speaking playing better than last year. Here's hoping it isn't false hope.

I just wish we could have done a deal like Zaha ... buy him then loan him back out.

Yes to both.

You'd have to pay around 10 million pounds for Ter Stegen, I'd guess.
