Dokko Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Seems we're desperate to have England's back 5 for the next decade. All for it, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Expand Agree but one thing is he’s 22, very young for a keeper. And he’s had the benefit of playing regularly for a few years now so will only get better you’d think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramirez Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 It’s weird Pickford has never been strongly linked with say Man U or spurs. Maybe a relegation would force his hand but seems happy enough to plod along at Everton, then look good every two years in an international tournament. I’d take him for the fume alone.

54 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Traffords stats in the Championship are incredible this season; Games played: 25 Goals Conceded: 9 Goals conceded per 90: 0.4 Clean Sheets: 16 Save Percentage: 85% Goals prevented: 6.9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) GK is a position we really need to get a grip of like, appreciate Vlach was a PSR workaround but the recent signings seem all over the place. Need to settle on our long term keeper and move a few out Edited January 5 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was strongly linked with Spurs for about 3 years. According to Pickfords mates in Washington, a deal was even verbally agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Expand Can’t believe he is 6ft 6”. Plays like he’s 5ft 10” whenever I’ve seen him. Stuck record. But to get a keeper as good as Pope who can ping it about like Dubravka, or better, even. Will cost a lot of money. I suppose a balance could be had. A keeper who isn’t as good at certain aspects. But is so much more confident on the ball means we concede less chances, have more control of the game, another player to help bypass a press etc etc. Basically, what Dubravka has done since coming back in (along with other changes that have helped). Not really had a decent chance to save since being back. But we’ve barely given up any chances along with some shit finishing by the opposition who’ve missed the target. Fair argument to say Dubravka has been a part of us giving up less chances. Along with game state and opposition played, Tonali at 6 etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) The thing is, Wayne Bridge only boxed to keep fit after he retired. He then did a boxing match with Spencer Matthews for sporting relief with all money going to charity. Bridge looked great in the fight, but it was a long time ago. I have respect for that, but not the way its going. Edited January 19 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
