Jordan Pickford

[Smig1878]

£30m is the total "if everything is ticked off as completed" fee. Why are you in denial of this?

I'm not in denial of anything, fact is it's a promise to pay if the lad lives up to what is agreed. For all you know it could be £12mil top up for two years service or one full England cap. You don't know what the terms are so you can't assume anything other than we've agreed a fee of £30mil

If he ends up 3/4 as good as nev I would gladly pay 80mil

Happy enough with the signing. He's young and has experience of the PL (unlike City's new £30m man) and his distribution is class. Would i have liked him for less money? Course, but its not £30m in one payment and sadly, we missed the boat with Butland by not taking a chance like this when we could have. So I'll get behind the lad.

Big Nev knows Bins and keepers, pretty sure he knows the difference between the two...

Keepers have been undervalued for years, sure a no9 can win you a game, but a no1 can save you a game..

I'm Happy... Welcome JP

It'll involve Champions League and everything. Bet we dont ever pay full £30m. Even if we do, chances are he's been utterly boss so we've got our moneys worth.

They are meant to owe about £5m for Gibson/Oviedo still.

Probably end up paying cash of approx. £12m all out initially with add ons and offset of monies owed.

It doesn't work like that. Sunderland almost certainly will have built in clauses that the fee for Gibson/Oviedo would be less if they survived but irrespective I suspect they will have agreed to pay over the players initial contract term just like I suspect Everton will do with Pickford although it remotely possibly Sunderland will have agreed to a smaller overall fee if all payable now.

Why are they spending my money without telling me?

 

[Neiler]

The fee is irrelevant in terms of value 30 mill for a career of 10-15 years is peanuts really with built in resale value, its excellent value. The only time it becomes relevant is if your paying big money for a 29 year old.

I've watched this lad a lot he is commanding, a good decision maker, can come for crosses, a good communicater, decent frame and is agile and can save spectaclorlay and scruffy ones.

You haven't see anything like how far this lad can kick a ball, i can see him with about 5 assists next season.

 

[terraloon]

135 saves in 29 PL games.

That stat and also the fact that he has let in on average 1.84 goals per PL performance and 4.7 saves per game surely must say something about Sunderland

Made up.. Think Pickford is class and Means we won't sign Forster

30 million for a player with one year in the prem. Almost a world record for a goalie! 30 million! 30 million!!

 

[everton2004]

So will undergo a medical when he returns from international duty. So he'll be injured playing for England - nailed on.

Someone is going to crack 100mill for MBappe who only became a regular at Monaco this season.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

GOT: WE MUST GET A GK IN THE SUMMER! TOP PRIORITY!! JOEL/STEK NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

Everton swoops in for future England No. 1 for more money than Everton's ever spent on a keeper, beating the likes of Arsenal.

GOT: WHY DID WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON A KEEPER?!? WHY DIDN"T WE SIGN [Butland/Hart/some foreign lad]?!?!?
