Jasper Cillessen

I would say Pickford is the better goalie of the two.

Cillessen is fine, can do a job generally but has always seemed pretty weak to me. If we got him we would end up with two almost good goalkeepers.

Would be one hell of a message to Pickford in goals if we get him in.

For it, we need competition for places.

willing to take the risk over replacing Pickford.

p.s I thought Joao Felix was a superstar?!

Still only a bit older than Kean.

I think in an attacking side he would be exciting but not easy at Atletico under Simeone.

He’s too small. 6’5 or above please, with arms like mr tickle and a grip like a teenager thumbing through a little woods catalogue.

bonus points if he has a leap on him superior to a tin of John West.

Donnarumma would be ideal and only 1 year on his contract

Cillessen is an interesting one: used to being a number two to a top-class keeper at Barcelona, but also used to being Dutch number one. In other words, good enough to be a serious threat - and thus motivational - to Pickford, and probably sensitised to being a back-up if that's where this battle leaves him.

In that sense, there's really good logic in getting him in. He could well oust Pickford - and would probably be serviceable for us if he does that - and he could also be a very useful number two when called upon.

If Jordan hasn't smelt the coffee this summer, what with upstarts like Dean Henderson publicly coveting the England shirt before he's even got his club's shirt, then I think it's time to get rid. I expect a big season from Pickford because he's got plenty of ability. We're about to find out if he's got the smarts.

He'd be the dream signing but can't see even Carlo pulling that one off.

Not sure...not many other clubs need a starting keeper.

Id try to swap Pickford for him

 

[TheBigIguana]

No

Can't be any worse than Plopford

Re: Cillessen


And Garcia is confident that his goalkeeper is going nowhere this summer, he said: “I think the players I have will be there (at the end of the window).

“But what will happen in the next few days, I do not know.”

However, it is worth noting that Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti confirmed yesterday that Everton won’t sign a goalkeeper this summer.
