If you had the choice now , would you pick Lukaku over DCL ?
A keeper that come for crosses and takes the ball ,the centre forward and the centre half if he gets in the way....I’m not sure ‘all the best keepers are at the best clubs’ is totally correct. There’s a huge global market out there, Brands is paid a lot of money to know that market. Some on here suggest bringing in somebody from the PL, and I’d agree it’s a very limited and underwhelming goalkeeper market.
There has to be gems out there, Brands job is to unearth one. I have no idea who should come in, but I’d like a better keeper. Pickford is ordinary in my opinion, he’s capable of brilliance but his all-around game doesn’t fill me with confidence and he’s inconsistent.
I’m a bit old fashioned, I’ve never been a fan of Pickford as I much prefer the type of keeper who command his area.
@luuk_deventerWe had a Dutch guy on here saying he was really good I can only think of @Dutch Toffee but I don’t actually think it was him
@luuk_deventer
Also not sure on Koopmeinders myself. Big step up to the Premiership and don't think Koopmeinders is ready for that step yet.
Must be a lot of kopites over here, as the only thing I hear are complaints about that decision. Me? I only hope your FA shows the same wisdom as their Dutch counterparts.I'm interested to know what @luuk_deventer thinks of the Dutch league being voided without a winner. Does he think it's the fairest outcome?
Good point about the current market. there will probably be a lot less money in football this summer for transfers/wages. You’re almost certainly right there.All three have contracts ending in 2021 as you say but in the next twelve months they will cost somewhere in the region of 13m-15 in wages.
In the current market I am not so sure we will find clubs to take them on loan.
There will be so many players looking for new clubs who will be prepared to play for far less than they would have expected just four months ago.
Our three can just sit on their contracts, which they are more or less doing for the last couple of years anyway.
I just think saying a guy who directly contributed to about 20 goals in a league season contributed nothing is incredibly naive about what is important in football. Not every player in a team can do nothing outside of the final third like Gylfi, but you also can't get by without players who get the job done in that area and last season we had Gylfi and Richarlison who helped in the regard. I find it hard to see us finishing in the same spot without him unless DCL was going to start scoring more and it was Sigurdsson holding him back. I don't think that's the case.he has, and always will be, crap and overrated by moneyball fans

But obviously we can and should be looking to do better especially considering as I said I don' think he's ever really been a midfielder. Playing him there was always going to end in a disastrous performance and Chelsea was that.
The last game we played, when he played central midfield, and we got sliced open. That's where I'm getting it from.He's been putting in disastrous performances in the number 10 role since he joined the club, where are you getting the Chelsea game from?
Plays a bit like Koeman imo

Yeah you're right. I thought he played through the center.He played on the left?
Yeah you're right. I thought he played through the center.
Do you mean present day Rom vs present day DCL? Because I'd take Calvert-Lewin, but if we're saying hypothetically which 23 year old I'm taking Rom easily. I'd like to think the right manager could have gotten more from him. Conte has shown that there was always more there.If you had the choice now , would you pick Lukaku over DCL ?
Finding a keeper to improve on Pickford should be easy. Sheffield United and Palace both have better keepers. They're all over the place because Pickford has been that bad.....I’m not sure ‘all the best keepers are at the best clubs’ is totally correct.
