2022/23 Jordan Pickford

I think that keepers are largely interchangeable with almost no difference. Pickford has a calamity in him almost every match, so do most keepers. Pickford is EXCELLENT at reactionary saves for the most part. If he wants to leave, shake his hand, thank him for his service and replace. Yes Pickford was great at the end of last year but I think we would be fine. Provided, of course, we didn't massively ballsup the replacement/reinvestment which we are just top of the league in doing.

I rather we keep the England no 1. He was going to sign so why don’t the contract signed and sealed before the World Cup. Another indication of incompetent from the management.
 

Spurs I reckon, they need a new keeper
Indeed although they seem to be the tightest of the ‘top clubs’ ?.
When UTD are paying DeGea £375k per week, Pickford’s agents should be seeking at least £175k and I can’t see Levy paying that.
Kepa supposed to be on £150k.
Ederson supposed to be £180k
Loris supposed to be £100k
I guess the issue will be not many will want to pay that sort of contract plus a significant fee, £150k x 5 years is £39m and we’d hope for £50m I would hope, so a potential £89m outlay…… albeit he would still have a resale value within that 5 years.

Well, frankly, because we suck. I guess the question is simply in which variant will we suck less in; the one with Pickford and little else or the one without Pickford and being able to add to other places.

Again, this is all predicated on the board and Thelwell not screwing literally everything up which is a mssive massive ask apparently.

I'm also not advocating for him to go. If he wants to, let him go. Should have done the same with Gordon. When someone wants to leave, you let them leave provided a good offer comes in.

The worrying thing is that we use his fee to buy more McNeil mk2.

1000%

I'll hold my hand up also and say I was actually relatively pleased more or less with the transfers in the summer until...you know, we are back in 17th place so I've bascially checked myself out of even caring who we get because I don't know anyone anymore.
 

I'd be amazed if the guy didn't want out.

He's England's no.1 and he's involved in a relegation scrap, again.

Why would you when you're good enough for a side at the other end of the table?
Agree, he’s gone and can’t blame him. The sell off of the quality players we had will be complete. All that remains is to follow the now well charted path of replacing him with someone poorer to add to the other diddies in the squad.

Crazy thing is, some of our supporters will try to convince themselves that it’s a good idea and we can do better….and then wonder why we’re getting worse and worse.
 
Sa cost Wolves €8m and there’s people that will come on here with a straight face and tell you we’d need to spend £70m to replace Pickford. Sa is the better keeper in my opinion.
Unfortunately, we probably would need to spend about that much. Because Kev T would take five attempts to find someone half-decent, and even then they'd probably end up being on about the same level as Pickford.

I can't fathom how experienced professionals who are paid to evaluate players have come to the conclusion that signing McNeil and Maupay was a good idea Mike. What is going on here please

I just don’t have the answers for you Browns.

Maupay was clearly a move of convenience. It doesn't make it smart, but I don't think they looked at and said Maupay takes us up a level so much as DCL needs a backup who is able to kick the ball in the PL.

Yeah, I get that, and I could accept it if Maupay was a decent player. But he's not. He's rubbish.

The problem, as usual, is the evaluation of the player. He's not worth the fee we paid and he's not worth the wages we're paying him. Yet multiple people at the club thought he was our best option. It's plain bad recruitment.
