Yes I have since seen that he is crocked. The names don't really matter though, it's just finding and buying a decent replacement first. Or even better not selling at all. But if Chelsea (really) want him they must know they will have to pay serious money that would tempt us. Everybody has a price.

I can't believe the overhype personally. I thought he did well for us last season albeit I didn't think it was the best goalkeeping performance in a season I've seen. I would have tossed a coin between him and butland for England no 1. He had a very good tournament and suddenly he's world class and worth 70 odd million.

I personally would take him there myself for anything over 50 million, he is our best keeper but someone of his height will always be flawed in some instances and I think he can easily be replaced. I honestly and truly didn't think there is much between him and Joel who has left. Keepers are easily replaced unless if they are like de gea or courtois who are the very top level. Jordan isn't that and the money for him (If true) is much better served on an outfield player and a cheaper replacement.

Keepers are easily replaced you couldn't be more wrong if you tried . Just out of interest say we got 50m (I wouldn't sell at all) who would you replace Pickford with?
 
I'm amazed where people are getting his fee from. England form aside, he still mad a lot of errors last season and if we can see them so can other teams. He is a good shot stopper, no doubt. But he kicks the ball out for a throw more then any other keeper in the prem and is still prone to making the wrong decision. Arnoutivic shot went straight threw him, van djyk header, Cahill had to clear off the line for England, has a problem collecting corners etc.

He probably will become a world class keeper but he isn't one yet.

Getting the fee from other goalie transfers. RS just payed how much again ?.pickford was the the stand out goalie in the World Cup .it like are fans want mistakes so you can go told you he wasn't world class .In my humble opinion we have a great young goalie

English specs on there, mate. Lloris & the french belg were a touch better (Courtois won the Golden Glove), and Subasic was, like Pickford, hugely influential the run to the Semis.

Joint-3rd best keep was our Jordan.

Agree with you we have a great young goalie, if we sell him i'll fume, don't care how much the fee is.

Fair shout went a bit OTT with stand out goalie . Maybe what am trying to say is that our fans need to support the lad instead of nik picking like arl grannies when a pass go's out or a goal go's in

He was second only to Courtois I reckon
 
I don't doubt he'll be sold at some point in the future. But there's no chance of it this year. There's no time to replace him and we severely lack strong characters. It would be footballing suicide and completely undermine the new manager. I think this one should be knocked on the head and hopefully he's here for several more years.
 
Maybe Chelsea will think again given the short time before the season starts. They know Everton would hardly sell him without a keeper in place. And as was said before, Everton's required fee will be enormous dwarfing what the RS paid for their man. We hold all the cards. Probably Pickford will stay. Pity we have no up and coming star keeper we could develop for a year or two before Pickford goes. Of course if we became a successful club and made Europe again he might stay.
