2017/18 Jordan Pickford

[Joey66]

See my last post Fergie was always going to make some mistakes in the transfer market, with loads of money to spend.
Serious question, do you think Howard would have lasted 10 yrs at one of the other top prem clubs the big 6 if you like.
Fergie’s Howard was
Moyes’s Koldrup

He made no mistake grabbing Rooney for peanuts then offloading his deadbeats over to us you mean.....

The shot was a corker - end of the defender was to blame end of... pundits trying to make something of a dead rubber game....

Agreed there J, no idea what Rose and Delph were doing showing him inside. Schoolboy stuff.

Not really, we got in first and no one else needed a keeper, well apart from Liverpool but they have needed one for about 6 years and have made no effort to get one so they dont count

Yet you feel the need to mention them.

No I am not saying he should have stuck with Howard what I am saying is every manager gets it wrong at times like Kendall got it wrong with Jim Arnold but got it right with Southall (given time). Howard was a decent keeper for us for a number of years only we kept him too long.

I disagree
Lampards winner in 2009 was the final straw for me, sadly I had to watch him fir another 6 years.

Jan Mucha > Tim Howard

I agree with everything here. 2009 was the exact moment I knew too.

He was part of those defences, yet he's the only one people make excuses for, it's happening for England now aswell where he's playing behind the best defenders this country has to offer.

Point with Kirkland was he too like Jordan was overhyped too early got a big move and surprise surprise couldn't live up to it because he simply wasn't anything special, injury prone or not

Jeez I'm not making excuses for Pickford being part of our defence that was shoddy all round, I'm saying that Burnley has a really well organized defence that makes every part of it look better and that it's unfair to compare anyone in their defence without pointing that out.

Kirkland was seriously perma-crocked at Them, nobody knows what he would have been like without injuries. You're making me defend one of their players, please stop it! lol

Didn’t have a great game. The singling out of him amongst a shower of awful performances last night was not justified.

Currently a good keeper (not a great one yet), but young and with lots of potential.

Let’s not hound him out just yet.

Personally half-hope he gets dropped or picks up a knock so he doesn’t carry the can of criticism when England get knocked out.

Agree with all this too.

hibbert, osman, neville and howard all looked out of their depth in that game, though i think moist tried to buy naughton that summer, but persisted in allowing the others to be carried by better players instead upgrading on the chobb of the team

Gary Neville proved last night that he’s an awful manager, assistant manager, and pundit by criticising a young gk for jumping with his feet off the floor.

I can see after this World Cup, Pickford's; value will soar way above what we paid!

Not if future buyers listen to the pundits drivel. He is the 3rd most expensive keeper ever - who exactly would pay >£30M for him ?

You should look at the rumours going round on GKs,

It will but no way will we be selling him, we got him for the long term, the one thing we have got right recently
