Happy if we manage to pull this deal off. Defo prefer him over Hart
Yup been on Everton tabs at the very least since his PNE loanIt says a lot that we plumbed for this lad over the available Hart and not the unattainable, Forester, Schmicehel and one or two others.
I think im right in saying we have scouted him for a long long time, prior even to him making his PL debut.
Money wise yes. Player wise no. I really rate the lad and with him being a sunderland lad and all that.Good deal considering you went down though, no?
We aren't signing him mate, leave it in 2016!Mata. Of. Time
We promise we'll only boo him 10+ games into the season.Gutted he is leaving. Look after him.
Yes. I think it's a good move for the lad.We will mate. You prefer him at us where he will play every week than at a City or Chelsea where he'd only get cup games yeah?
Fixed that for ya mate.We promise we'll only boo him 10+ seconds into the season.
I can't see him getting in the Chelsea team ahead of CourtoisLook forward to his long kicks bouncing straight off Lukaku's big toe and out for a throw in.
Lad loves Sunderland it's a shame you can't keep him in all honesty. Pretty happy with the fee tbh the upfront costs represents his value well and the additions will reflect his potentialMoney wise yes. Player wise no. I really rate the lad and with him being a sunderland lad and all that.
Guess it was a deal we couldn't turn down but I just wonder what's the point if investing time and effort in young kids just to pedal them first chance
Saying that if we'd stayed up then i reckon he would have stayed.
You've got yourself a very good keeper.
Think of it this way - Ederson is the same rough age, completely unproven in a top league, uncapped for Brazil and cost Man City £35m.
Pickford has experience here and cost less. Much less really, when you consider add-ons.
Yet nobody batted an eye at Ederson because it was Man City and he has a fancy name.
£20m approx plus addons is absolutely fine.
