Jordan Pickford

[Connor]

Is he the future England number 1? Sunderland are Aldi.

Potentially, yes.

 

[davek]

Potentially, yes.

Along with a handful of others.

Along with a handful of others.

Realistically, it's between him and Butland in the long term.

 

[PhilM]

Better than Joel: ✔
Better than Stekelenburg: ✔
Available: ✔
Affordable: ✔

Can't see the fuss regarding why we shouldn't consider him to be honest.

 

[Martino Robertez]

So let me get this straight.

Wigan players who won the FA Cup and only just got relegated on the final weekend were always going to be terrible.

But the Sunderland Keeper who's overseen his side going down (finishing bottom) with a month to go, with a goal difference 15 worse than the next teams, with arguably a pretty good defence-minded manager is a GREAT idea?

Hmmm....

I dunno. Hart still has another WC and maybe a Euros. I think Fraiser Foster then comes into it.

Then Butland.

Then MAYBE Pickford.

No one else was in for Alcaraz, Kone and Joel... slight difference.

You do have a point Bobby lad.

Forster is made of pure concrete. He'll be the third in the Butland Pickford battle for the gloves.

Well, Gana went down with Villa yet arguably he's been a very successful signing so using simplistic, two-dimensional logic like you have is naive.

Aye, but if a good keeper is worth 10 points over a season, are you saying Sunderland would have been relegated by November without him?

 

[abelard]

are we doing the "[player] was relegated therefore he can only ever be complete crap and we're sure to also be relegated if we sign [player]" routine again?

how soon fumers forget

Forster is useless, Butland is the real talent but I wonder if the injuries have done for him

Aye but his stats were great even in a failing Villa side.

Pickford' stats are goals against 56. Which isn't the worst but you'd expect that the be a strong point of any Moyes side.
