2022/23 Jordan Pickford

We are in the relegation zone, none of our players are performing at elite levels. It's also pretty difficult to make a case for any of them as prem level at the moment.

Pickford is a good keeper though, glad he signed.

Richarlison was the other one I'd rather we'd kept. Onana is the next.

We upgraded on Rivharlison with Maupay who has a better scoring record this season in the premier league than him.
 
Top 25 really isn’t elite, not for goalkeepers of which there’s only ever one on the pitch. Top 10 goalkeepers can be considered the elite, Pickford is not in the top 10 in my opinion.
Mate you’re splitting hairs here.

Apparently according to google there are 3903 professional football teams in the world. Let’s say each has a conservative 3 or so within their club. That means there are around 12k professional goalkeepers in world football and we seem to all agree he’s probably in the top 25 which means he’s in the top 0.002%.

I call that elite.

I mean you can’t argue with that maths.

Personally though I wouldn’t say the 25th best keeper in the world, whoever that is, is elite level. I don’t even think the likes of Ramsdale is elite and he plays for the current league leaders.

That’s fair enough, I’d struggle to name 25 better than him personally. I think he’s better than Ramsdale from what I’ve seen, league leader or not.

I’d say just because a team is league leader doesn’t mean all their players are elite, just like how even though we’re crap can’t mean we don’t have one elite player. We had Rooney the season we finished 17th, sold him and finished 4th with no elite players.

Probably best to just agree I think he’s better than you do but you probably think he’s our best player too 🤣
 

If you disagree, that’s fine.
I think hes become a very decent keeper, and was content when he signed a new contract. I do not think he is elite or among the 25 best keepers in the world - compare prime Pickford with prime Neuer and the quality difference would be too big to put them in the same bracket - but we can agree to disagree, yet both be happy we have a good keeper. :)
