Jordan Pickford

And @TheFinnFan @bazzer25

Can we take this elsewhere and get back on topic ?

Sorry

 

[TheFinnFan]

That'd be lovely.

PM me nearer the time and I'll send my mars address x

I already know her address mate

I like Pickford but let's be clear with Hart, he ended up at Torino because Pep Guardiola is the only man walking the earth who rates Claudio Bravo higher than him.

Hart is at Torino because no EPL club wanted him.

I would still have picked Hart. Not been convinced by the lad at all but if he comes, then he can't be any worse than what we've got.

Ok sorry

Joe Hart hasn't been doing very well in Italy, as far as I know. He was pretty shaky for a while at City too. It's the name people seem to like. But I don't see why anyone thinks he'll be great.

One plus about Pickford is that he's genuinely young, by keeper standards he's a baby. If he's performing well at his age then even with modest improvement you've got a solid keeper for 12+ years.

Was City more willing to play ball with Torino over his wages because they're in a different league? Thought that was the issue when we were interested. Anyway, he's not Pickford so off topic.

Pep was right to not rate Hart but who he went for to replace him is another issue, if he was even close to being a top 6 keeper he could of done better then Torino, I still hope Liverpool go for him

Pickford might not be my choice but he is better then Hart

How tall is Pickford (cm)?

 

[davek]

Does that not apply to Horn? Koln are a German yo-yo club

Third season running in the Bundesliga...and Horn was part of the team that brought them up from Bundesliga 2

 

[Fedlingen]

How tall is Pickford (cm)?

185cm.

How tall is Pickford (cm)?

The same height as Southall mate.

Your issue then is more with modern footy and the prices mate.

Dolberg for example has about the same amount of games and if we paid 25m for him then it'd be good business in the current climate.

As for pickford, maybe we are trying to get ahead of the curve and willing to pay that bit over to get a deal done quickly.

City, United, Arsenal and possibly the rs, will all be after keepers come the summer, but can't act yet die to all needing to keep the current ones happy.

My issue is with his lack of top flight experience.

It's a crucial position and we should be looking at bringing in a keeper of note.

Personally I'd throw everything at getting Schmeichel.

 

[davek]

I think most would prefer Leno or Horn. I think we would struggle to get them though. What do you think?

I see no reason why not. Big wages and European football. I doubt the very biggest of guns will be in there for them.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

I like Heaton, or Schmeichel
