2019/20 Jordan Pickford

If we qualify for Europe this season I’d go all out on getting Donnarumma from Milan. It’d be a tough sell and they’d want loads but he’s out of contract next season and no “top” club will need a new goalkeeper anytime for the next couple years so it’s the ideal time to go for him. Carlo could also be a massive factor as could Moise Kean in getting him and helping him to integrate.

That would be a miracle.


...I don’t think it’s a matter of redemption. Pickford is making errors frequently, many of which are costing us points. I don’t think it’s a case of balancing that out with fine saves.

Yesterday’s was unusual error, he’s normally a fine shot-stopper, it’s his lack of command of the penalty area that most concerns me. i accept the new breed of goalies are different and I’m old school, but he’s not a keeper I have confidence in.



The thing is @Eggs, for me he's currently not showing that he is truly adept at being that new new bread of goal keeper, nor as he for the past few months at least.

His distribution is inconsistent at best, with regular poor (shocking) kicks and throws, and the defence do not seem to be able to work with him, let alone trust him.

He's usually a great shot stopper, and he's not the worst of our worries by any stretch of the imagination; yet, he has a few glaring deficiencies that he must work on.

In the short-term, I think we need to at least be looking at brining some positive competition for him, whereas in the long-term his place may not be secured.

There's a lot worse in the league... but I do want better.
He’s just young. He’ll be a top top keeper in 3 -4 years time. However I’d sell if we get a decent offer.

For me, hes not really a 'new' style keeper...Barthez was charging around making horrendous errors and of course the Zimbabwean across the park threw a few in as well.

These eccentric keepers i think are so arrogant that they lose concentration and want to find something to do and so make work for themselves.

I dont really see him as a Joe Hart at all. Hart seemed very dependable until a loss of confidence under Pep. Pickford i think could go on to be world class if he can command his area and not lose focus...learn that if hes 'invisible' its a good thing.

We do need to start seeing some improvements as he'll be 26 in March and over the next 4 seasons needs to develop and move up a level.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Spurs or Chelsea interested if we wanted to move him on.

I think most of his problems stem from concentration levels and decision making, he may mature and improve but there’s no guarantee and little evidence, I reckon he’s getting worse. Southall was about the same age when he really started to blossom, Pickford needs to get going quickly. I think he will be sold at a loss unless he turns things around. I’ve listened to folk blame the defence, but the Benteke goal was a prime example of how he switches off, not a good trait for a goalie.

Yup I don’t think we can wait for him to mature (or not).

Sell at the end of the season
 

I am sick of this place. A bunch of faggot mindreading bitches playing with people and chatting [Poor language removed]. Go [Poor language removed] yourselves. You're no loss to me. Just an irritant bunch of snidermen [Poor language removed] and a bunch of 'proper' evertonian [Poor language removed] and a bunch of [Poor language removed] who couldn't have any skill in their lives like davek. good luck being the shitness of the internet. pisstaking motherfucking [Poor language removed] . love the fact that some nobends will chat [Poor language removed] but I won't be watching your posts so go [Poor language removed] yourselves. DONE with the sick [Poor language removed] you are.
How did this get past the swear filter??? I'd have been using it all along, had I known.

Also love how it's immediately followed by a "poor language removed" lol
 

We should sign Pedro Gallese, the Peru goalkeeper. He is used to playing at a very high level. :p He is also 1.89 metres tall. That sounds a hell of a height to me, (not really understanding metric I can't be sure. he may be a dwarf). Apologies to any dwarfs on this forum, no offence intended.

I’m 6’6” and that works out at 1.97, so I’d guess he would be about 6’3” maybe?
