If we want to improve our possession game, we need a new keeper like.

Not always. The agent would’ve said yes and then engineer a deal with another club/s and tell his client look what’s on offer… It’s why clubs particularly us don’t like diving in as it gets used as a benchmark for other clubs to then match/improve.

Jesus H, quite a depressing take. I wonder why the club would be chasing him if he’s not very good and costs too much.

He really is Mr LinkedIn. He seems like a nice enough fella in lots of ways. But his schtick is unbearable.

I mean Sunderland picked up 4 points against Burnley last season so there is that as well.

Yes.

You have to listen to Jake Humphreys, that's the issue.

Aye those too. 4 positions imo that must be a priority over a new GK.

Doesn’t need cut down. Theirs not fat on the bone. Worth listening to the full 80mins.

Or a RW, ST, CB. We are desperate for all 4 positions.

I watched Trafford save 2 x pelanties in quick succession when it was Burnley vs The Makems and at that moment I knew it was our destiny to sign the kid and his saves were a "come and get me" plea

This comment went under the radar last week but it is proof that no one outside their own fanbase considers them to be a big team. This is independent proof of that. Man Utd categorise the Premier League as follows - Category A (£59-97) : Man City Liverpool Arsenal Spurs Chelsea Newcastle Category B (£57-£86): Villa Palace Brentford Fulham Bournemouth Brighton Leeds Burnley Everton Forest West Ham Category C (£37-£60): Zunderland Wolves Not only not a big team, but a level below second tier teams! Both the other promoted teams are in the category above. Imagine the fewm when they see they are considered a less attractive draw that Bournemouth, Brentford and even Burnley! I reckon that if Wolves had been relegated instead of Leicester, SAFC would have been category C all by themselves. They'll be fewmin!

Our very own Pickford but with added bonus of longer arms

Even my team, Dunfermline, spent 650‐750 on a player once. Istvan Kozma, in the 90's. We eventually sold him to Liverpool but he didn't get near their first team. He was a legend for us though. His highlight was 3 (unfortunately unfilmed) brilliant goals against St Mirren. That crazy spending was the beginning of our descent into administration.

Feel like he’ll be a massive shit house that oppo fans will hate but absolutely class as well. Bring him home

Feels that way. Although he’s been our number one target this summer by all accounts.

Longstaff you feel being the obvious one this window. Dubravka also. Pope much more a surprise but a possible gamble. It’s the Greek lad we really need to shift as seems a waste for both parties.

Agreed on Trafford. Besides all that potential, he seems to be a good egg so no worries about him mixing with the squad. A goalkeeper who can pass will massively enhance our style of play.

How much of Burnley did we all watch last season? Feel like there are a lot of posters on here who watched their every game. It's the same situation with Pope's transfer for me, I was quite underwhelmed with that signing but it wasn't because I'd seen him play a lot. However, I quickly came round to the idea that he was a much better keeper than Dubravka. Hopefully it's the same again, but I've got no idea how good he is, I'm just assuming he's mint (or could become mint) because the club have chased him for so long.

There's bound to be a few sales like. Even if it's not a big one.

I don’t mind Trafford. As long as it’s not at the cost of a CM.

I'm sure Bloom is something to do with my Scottish team's (Dunfermline) new owner, James Bord*. Maybe they both work at Gamdom? *Bord not Bond lol.

I’m all in on Trafford as mentioned before. Future England number one who has done his apprenticeship across the lower leagues and a stint in Premier League, on top of winning the last U21 Euros. He’s as well positioned as a young goalkeeper you can get across Europe right now, for having the early experience and on the job learning before a big move. 150 pro games. Easy to forget that someone like Pope had nearly half as many pro appearances before getting his Burnley break out at 25.

I’m no PSR expert but could we not do it and then have another scenario where one season we buy buy no one again down the line and just sell?
