2020/21 Robin Olsen

[hktoffee]

Wasn’t Olsen 3rd choice when he left?

He went out on loan and had played a fair bit of game?

What do you want to do with Pickers, Dave?

Dont tempt me.

 

[Goat]

Yes, retain Olsen as #2. The much touted Donnarumma looks a long shot because of wages (over €7m per year Raiola is trying to negotiate for him). I'd be looking to bring in Pope, tbh.

Pope isnt much better than Pickford Dave.

Buying 1 of Burnleys best players and replacing a pretty error-ridden England GK with another is bad business.

If we could take all the qualities from each and roll them into one body we would have a good keeper. While Carlo is one level below God, he doesn’t have the ability to morph human beings, though if someone told me he had I would believe them.

Pickford would have done no better for their goals. That’s the issue really.

You say that but I think pickers organises his defence better but that might be something robin van work on, the corners the main one

What would his name be jordan Olsen or robin Pickford?

Pope is better than Pickford but also not someone we should be looking to sign.

Most everyone is better than Pickford.

Pope is a cracking GK.

versus Pickford (Pope ranking in PL in brackets):

More clean sheets (7th)
More crosses saved (3rd)
More sweeper clearances (1st)
More saves made (2nd)

Crap .

Pope is better than Pickford but would cost a stupid fee of about £50m so it’s a big swerve from me.

Crap .

Thanks once again for your valuable input Barry.

Any stats on blunders ala Pickers and goals conceded?

 

[Marius57]

Think he is a decent number 2 but still doesn't fill me with confidence.

Just wish he was a number 2 to a better keeper than pickford.
On the PL, my pick would be Darlow, but think we need to be looking abroad.

Pope has conceded 2 more than Pickford but played 5 more games...and has a worse defence to protect him.

That Ruddy looks a keeper!
