I dont know mate, it was a genuine question. If thats the case lets hope Evertons scouting team can go and one to come and join us.

Pickford is the man we need, were lucky we got him when we did for such a good price, least you said Bundesliga, and none of the Burnley keeper nonsense

 

[Groucho]

Very good GK.

Glad we have him.

Sommer, Horn, Pavlenka, Baumann. All better than Pickford.

Are they available? Let's ask and see.

And he’s finding it tough at Madrid at the moment

True, but he is hardly the main problem. Madrid are now an old team

I’ve seen De Gea and Courtois have games where literally it’s felt like every single shot against them has gone in. Lloris got caught out in the World Cup final doing a cruyff turn! Peter Shilton is probably responsible for putting us out of two world cups. Even the best have moments of bad form (Neuer’s having a whole year of it) and games when they’re awful but it doesn’t mean they don’t have the talent. Pickford has great distribution, is a leader, has fantastic reflexes and can pull off brilliant saves. He’s got the technical ability to be a top goalkeeper yet as soon as he makes errors some fans want him branded as Chris Kirkland mark 2. The cruel reality for his critics is that he performed exceptionally well at the World Cup actually making saves and winning a penalty shootout for us. Who was the last England keeper to do that? English football history is defined by Bonetti being crap, Shilton not jumping, Seaman flapping Ronaldinho’s in, Rob Green v the USA, Calamity James, Joe Hart vs Iceland and just about anyone. Then a goalkeeper comes along and at a World Cup pulls off some unbelievable saves and in a penalty shoot out and what is the response? ‘Ah yeah bit what about that one against Januzaj, and that Colombia one was going wide anyway’. Utter morons, and it’s embarassing that some of those people are Everton supporters.

We made Pickford into England’s number 1 and unfortunately for the detractors he’s playing well in the role and no other English keeper is even in the same ball park at the moment. Get used to it haters, he’s not going anywhere.

You think I hate Pickford? I thought we were lucky to get such an outstanding young keeper.

Cheers, will have a look.

I don’t think you do, I think some people on here want to just say ‘I told you so’ about some players if they start off with a particular stance on a player. For some reason Pickford is one of these players. Any mistakes he makes he’s jumped on.

But why would we even want to Dave ? , unless you mean that in the next few years that one of the super wealthy CL clubs come in waving huge cheques around.

Every keeper makes mistakes, the better keeper make fewer mistakes and for a keeper who is still very much on a learning curve I would say that Pickford makes as few as anybody.

Pickford has made the international spot his own without a huge media campaign championing his cause and without the impetus that playing for a top four club gives... he has done this more or less on his own.

It is difficult to compare and contrast goalkeepers because so much depends on the players around them and the team they play in , but I think Pickford would compare favourably with any of those you mentioned.

Some take a stance on a player, a manager, a stadium build, then look for as much evidence as possible to support their usually wrong stance.

Its frankly, pathetic.

Its also interesting that few who do that, rarely have the stones to admit their stance was wrong. They just continue to flail around in their own "internet must be won" obsession.

Karius, best young keeper to come out of Germany ever, so I've been told.
