Seems we're desperate to have England's back 5 for the next decade. All for it, personally.

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 

[ramirez]

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.

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

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

Eh?

He was strongly linked with Spurs for about 3 years. According to Pickfords mates in Washington, a deal was even verbally agreed.

I don't like how Pickford is perpetually agitated. Would rather we maintained our calm, composed back 5.

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.

Pickford here just wouldn't feel right let's be honest.

Trafford’s not 6’6”, more like 6’2”. Classic goalie height padding.

My Burnley mate measured him once. 6’3.5”.

Then weirdly Pope is listed 3 or 4 inches shorter than he is. He’s a shade shorter than Burn.

Pope’s just so humble. Defo 6’5–6’6

[SteV]

 

Inch or two taller than Colwill, who’s listed as 6’2.

We did this back in June.

[Rich]

Anyway, height aside there does seem to have been too much smoke around this one for too long. A loan-to-buy would be ideal.

Bracewell, Howey, Waddle, Venison etc … even Milburn - we never had a problem with signing boyhood Sunderland supporters in the past.

 

Granted, none of those had went on like right knackers on social media, so there is that

This is just wrong, not sporting at all, muppets like Connor McGregor created this type of behaviour, and these little wannabee youtube clowns have taken it too far now.

 

Needs banning.

Yeah, it’s the result of lad banter going too far.

In saying this, if you hang around with cunts who like to act like cunts to other people, don’t be surprised when they act like a cunt to you.

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.

He's definitely in on it.

 

And he'll be getting a lot of money out of it.

Bahhh gawd! What's John Terry doing in the Impact Zone!?
