What????

1)Signing a new deal has no affect on his transfer value because he had 3 and a half years left on his current deal
2)absolute nonsense

He makes mistakes and is still learning, but his height and reach also goes against him, unless he hits the level of de gea I cant see any of the top 6 going for him.

Liverpool and chelsea needed a keeper in the summer none of them looked at pickford or schmeical. The first names on the list were oblak, allison and arizabalaga

“The club has a project to go forward and everyone knows that means reaching the Champions League. That will take a lot of hard work but we are willing to put it in. I don’t know how long it might take but looking ahead you have to be ambitious enough to be trying to hit the top four. Looking around, at the quality of the players the manager has brought in, I think we are a step ahead of where we were last season.”

They spent over 70m on a keeper
If they were after Pickford they would have made a offer and it would have been less then 70m.
They didn't.

We paid £30m for him. He's since been on show for England and if he were to go at any point in the future, it would be for far more than the £70m they spunked on an unknown.

If we can see how many mistakes he makes so can other teams.

If he made the mistakes against neves, Ings and kicked it straight to a west ham player who then scores, at Chelsea or united he would be under huge pressure to be dropped.

This is an insane post to make. If you think anyone, ANYONE would spunk «far more» than 70million on Jordan effing Pickford you have really, totally, in no uncertain terms, lost the plot!
If anyone even says words similar to «70mill» and «Pickford» in the same sentence, Im sure Brands blasts one in his pants just based on the prospect of making money off of this hack keeper. Its insane how blind the English are towards their own. Switch out his and Robles’ passports, and I know a certain Jordan who’d be playing in for Betis in Spain, and a Joel being touted as the future of Everton.

The future of Everton. Lookman and Pickford. I think I need to throw up.

Making massive mistakes far too often.....well the thing about that is that it isn’t true.

6 games in , wolves free kick, potential red against saints, dropped the shot that he produced his “amazing save “ from, Westham kicker the ball straight to them. That’s 3 in 6 games .

You’re not, you’re using it to reinforce the agenda. Not one person on the entire planet would’ve even considered sending him off for that, the only reason it became a talking point was because Mark Hughes gassed off about it after the game.

An agenda? I didn’t count it in the 3 mistakes he made so far. He could have been sent off for it same as DCL tackle a few weeks ago (can’t remeber who against) jags was sent off for less. I don’t have an agenda against Pickford , I just don’t think he’s the second coming of Christ as people on here seem to think. I didn’t have an agenda against barkley and don’t against DCL either , I just don’t think they’re good that’s all. If all these players are so amazing how come we have won a single league game this season ? People on here saying Pickford would cost 70m DCL might be the next Kane and Barkley was better than lampard , scholes at the same age. If you don’t think Pickford has trouble catching shots , or that his distribution is over rated, and his mistakes havnt cost us goals , then that’s your opinion.

Well those fans are wrong. We are terrible, yes, but what a normal fan would do is accept that fact and actually try to maybe get behind the rebuilding job and give it a bit of time. But instead you have people wailing away on social media calling for the manager’s head after 6 games as they think we’re entitled to success just because a previous moron spent a lot of money assembling said garbage squad. This clearly translates into the ground on a match day, where you have us being booed off at half time when drawing against a team we “should” be beating. Despite the fact that superiority complex is completely unfounded as we’re still abysmal.

Then there’s the other side of the fanbase, actively wanting our players to be rubbish and revelling in it when they are so they can tell faceless people on an Internet forum how right their initial opinion was. There’s nothing wrong with criticising a player’s performance, or if a player has proven himself genuinely rubbish throughout his career expressing your wish to see him not in the team, but it’s got to the stage where people are just making up errors and poor performances because they have to make themselves feel good somehow, and being right and/or “winding people up” is that validation they need.
