Don't underestimate the GOT joy (by some) should we sell Pickie. Never again will I be able to type "it's all Pickford's fault" following some insane rant by those who relished giving him stick.

If we get offered £50m you can’t turn that down.

I’m sure somewhere, in this massive world of ours, there’s a goalkeeper that could be found

You absolutely can turn that down. Gordon was sold for 40-50. I understand that woth Gordon there's the promising potential, leading to a potential ROI, but there's not really, is there.

I seriously don’t think the Everton fanbase, and certain sections of this forum, could deal with having an average PL keeper. Pickford has been virtually faultless for 2 and a half seasons and kept us in absolutely key games in the run ins with world class saves, and he’s still taken absolute dogs abuse at times for goals that arguably weren’t even his fault. Some of the fan base still hasn’t forgiven him for the Origi incident despite him quite frankly not being able to do much about a complete mishit that bounced perfectly on the top of his bar. Doesn’t matter that he’s probably won those points back and more in the derbies that have followed.

Look at some of the goalkeeping ‘prospects’ in the PL recently in Meslier and Bazunu, they’d be lambs to the slaughter for the fanbase.

If we follow a recruitment tactic of selling Pickford to fund additions in other areas then there’s going to have to be a reset of expectations in the fanbase of what they expect from their goalkeeper because whilst you say there must be a goalkeeper out there who can replace him, it’s a keeper that United, Spurs, City, Arsenal, Chelsea have struggled to find so far.

Unless we pull off a recruitment miracle, I think there’d be a lot of fans revising their opinion of Pickford very quickly when they see another keeper up close every week.

Agree with this, we can’t keep selling our best players and getting worse.

It’s like Richarlison last season, was a stupid deal, despite being clapped by many and we couldn’t score, penetrate or create all season and circled the drain.

We’re seen as a soft touch in the market. Feeder club for Newcastle and Spurs, time to stick two fingers up and act like a proper football club.

Selling to reinvest is the club weeing down your back and telling you it’s raining. Don’t fall for it again.
