Heron Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Just now, Andy84 said: Burnley are flying, why do they let their keeper leave mid season. Also, he could be getting promoted anyway To join a champions league side...(from his point of view). To better utilise the money for their squad from their point of view though, I'd hazard a guess.

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...

For registration purposes its just like a league game timewise. 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...

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.

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.

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...
David Edgar Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I don't like how Pickford is perpetually agitated. Would rather we maintained our calm, composed back 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to back Howe to improve him the way he has Hall, Gordon etc. 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...
