Waste of wages. May as well have kept Stekelenberg.
He can save a shot from outside the box and won't lose his mind away at Newcastle. He's also not Jordan Pickford. I'm in.
I concur,Kind Sir.

Might be sly way of getting us to be happy with Pickford, if this guy ever gets a run of games.

Everton and back up keepers eh. Never good enough to challenge for starting place and pickford knows it. Until we get a serious keeper he stays in goal which is madness.

Here is a breakdown of shots on target this season against Pickford:
Spurs had 5, one he saved well with his feet, one was a good stop on Alli, the other three were very easy.
West Brom had 4. Two went in. One was more or less right at him from a tightish angle at the start and the other was from further out than the two that went in.
Palace had 1. It went in. Probably not savable but a header from that range coming in from that far out is questionable commanding of the box.
Brighton had 3. Two went in. The one that didn't was a scuffed volley that anyone above u12 level would have caught and directly led to a goal.
So Pickford has so far saved 8 of 13 shots on target which on the surface is perfectly fine. But when you dig deeper he has essentially made two useful saves on 7 opportunities. It isn't good enough. He's conceded 3 times outside the box already. Not good enough. He's made a massive blunder for a goal already (without even factoring in the cup games) which is also not good enough. Every ball into the 6 yard box is a crisis because he doesn't deal with them confidently or straightforwardly ever. Not good enough.
It doesn't matter who it is we are bringing in, he's going to play matches.

I dunno, it would take a brave, brave manager to drop Pickford.
I know Carlo is probably that man, but it would be quite huge.

Was excellent at Malmö and Copenhagen and is more than often good in the national team. At Roma he has been a disaster.
No point to this signing. Hes not better than Pickford

I don't know why. No one thinks he is good anymore except maybe Southgate. Everyone else uses their eyes well.
Ive deleted your last sentence and feel much better about things now

He bounced back at Cagliari last year. I mean he wasn't peak Buffon, but if he is what he was at Cagliari we have improved the side.
