I bet Carlo is as good a poker player as he is a footy manager after that presser yesterday, saying we aren't after a keeper - Pickford got the la Cosa nostra death glare after his howlers v Fleetwood.
I think if our squad wasn't so full of shoite, Carlo's comments on JP are totally different and we're in for a GK, but until we offload a few we won't be signing a GK - potentially another year of this fella is quite unnerving.
Sadly for us, Pickford isn't as good as he thinks he is, and he never has been - another one we overpaid on, like siggy, who is also absolute dog poo, but they seem to get the benefit of the doubt and are defended by many on here, yet they will slam and destroy the likes of Tom, DCL or Kean - I really don't get it?!
Pickfords cockiness and buffoonery after the myriad of mistakes really infuriates me, and his inability to learn from these issues will be his undoing ( I don't think he has got it in him to change for the better - he's had plenty of chances and failed.)
He inspires no confidence, his distribution is atrocious (one of his strengths according to many!), his basic decision making is flawed, he thinks he is an outfield player able to dribble in his box instead of hoofing clear (Fleetwood's 1st) and he trys to "Hollywood" every single save he has to make instead of doing the basics properly (Weetabix wrists for Fleetwood's second) - these are not one off issues or mistakes, that he can sort out or improve on imo - it's who he is as a GK/man.
I really hope I'm wrong though, starting with a good performance today!
