Jordan Pickford

I can see United swooping in too sign him when Real come calling to get De Gea.

They are buying Schmeichel...-taps nose-

£30m for that lad? Pfffffffft!

Do me a favour.

Regardless of whether the chuckle heads who run this club have bid £8m he's just bang average. Move on.

Who would be your preferred goal keeping target? I'm not 100% sold on Pickford.

I think Forster is a good GK. Butland also.

 

[TheBigIguana]

People mad because Bournemouth signed Begovic would be fuming at us signing a Chelsea backup if it was us

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I think Forster is a good GK. Butland also.

That's why they aren't getting 30M.

I'd rather have Pickford than those two, but all three are upgrades for us.

Transfer prices are ridiculous these days

25m for Harry Maguire. A championship centre back. It wasn't long ago we sold Rooney for that amount! Walsh needs to pull his finger out and find these 0-10m gems rather than signing proven players who cost a bomb!

Regarding Pickford yes he's not worth 30m but ffs why bid 8m? Just so we can say to the fans oh well we tried? Same old rubbish every season for years and years

Yeah what is the point of offering such a low amount of money for a player?The summer is getting off to an ominous start indeed.I suppose they might come back with an improved offer when Barkley is sold.

The Boring One will probably want someone with European and international experience not a kid from Sunderland with 20 odd PL appearances

 

[Albertini78]

Our fans are obsessed with saying we should get £30m for him (realistically £20m'ish imo) mainly because the mags got £30m for Sissoko. Even if we somehow did only about £5m of it would go towards our own transfers

I like Sunderland; I hope you guys don't go messing about with risky transfers. Got a good group of kids that can do a job.

 

[Blue & White]

£8m is an insult. Embarrassing if true.

 

[jaycee]

8m is just a figure plucked out of the air,last week the Northern Echo had us offering a bid of 17m,newspaper headlines are just clickbait yet theres people getting their pitchforks ready

 

[Walter Ego]

Call me naive but if it's not true why would the Echo run the story? It's caused a lot of anger amongst the fans and the club can't be too happy about that. Hardly improves relations does it?

Wouldn't be the first time they've done such a thing though would it?

 

[BlueToff]

And... predictably, here we go.

Trusted NE journo (in regards Sunderland) proving yet again that the Echo know nothing.

It isn't true.

And it wouldn't be embarrassing if it was like. We can bid what we like.
