Could see Dubs playing Tuesday and then heading out with Trafford available for the weekend. Would be surprising to see Howe play someone new from the start though. Bromley at the weekend, will probably be time for Abe's Odyssey to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Quite like the idea of Trafford coming in. Think he’s a solid GK with a big future, lots of potential there. Think his game would be elevated with a solid backline in front of him. Was hung out to dry at times by Kompany’s tactics in the PL. Hate the source, mind.

Wolfcastle Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 What happened to him? was akin to selling Paul Gascoigne a few months back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think him and Pope are a solid two and maybe keep Vlachadimos if we can. Get shot of Dubravka whilst we can and Ruddy and Gillespie (unless they're utilised for other reasons behind the scenes).

It’ll be interesting to see if the club start to entertain any potential offers for Pope, especially with his contract up next summer? Easy enough to extend but I think he’s one you could get a half decent fee for in the summer. Ruddy and Gillespie seem like they’re both just the lads who get balls pelted at them in training although I’m not sure why we need two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddy and Gillespie seem like they’re both just the lads who get balls pelted at them in training although I’m not sure why we need two. That's the thing. I'd expect us to strip the numbers back there and it may be that Trafford comes in to become number one with Pope being sold in the summer and Vlach our second keeper. Or my alternative above of Trafford and Pope as the front two... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnley lost to Wolves in round 2 and Hladky played so as far as I can tell Trafford’s had no involvement in the EFL cup yet this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Burnley are flying, why do they let their keeper leave mid season. Also, he could be getting promoted anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 In all fairness, Burnley’s back up keeper has been held in higher regard than Trafford has. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 How’s his distribution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Wouldn't he need to be signed in time for the first leg of the EFL cup semi to feature in the second leg? I'm sure there's a rule like that unless it was an old FA Cup rule about replays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 They seem to rate him highly so all for it. Nice to have a young up and coming goalkeeper at the club, and having come through at Man City, he should have been developed with some ball playing and distribution. Listed at around 6 foot 6. Great height if that's accurate. Like taller goal keepers. Also good to see Mitchell back the move and be in agreement. Assuming this is all concrete of course!

Kid Icarus Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) If he's anything like what he was in the U21 Euros he'll be incredible. A pen specialist as well apparently. Edited January 5 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Not to keen on Trafford, he’s so weak coming for crosses. He does have a lot of strengths mind, very good with his feet. Would have to back Howe to improve him the way he has Hall, Gordon etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
