Will know a few more thousand off their average attendance. They'll get 30k max, was under 25k last time. 30K would still be more than they had in on Saturday despite the quoted 38,000. Must be the same people counting their attendance who are estimating the value of Pickford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Pickford is decent to be fair but even if they got 30m for him, which they won't, it's still not enough to solve their problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 If Pickford is as good as they reckon then somewhere like Everton would probably be the most realistic destination for him. He isn't though. Just a current media darling which means his good moments are highlighted and his deficiencies are brushed over. Decent but really nothing special. Depends on what you define as special. If special is different then you'll be hard pushed to find another English keeper as good as him with the ball. His distribution skills are really good, he's easily their best passer of a ball which tells its own story. All you here is goalkeepers being critisised for being shot stoppers only, well here's one with something else to his game and it's this that makes him different....special is probably too far, but there's big interest in him due to unique skill set. He is a footballer as well as a keeper, something Pep at citeh seems to rate so highly he shipped out England's No1. You've obviously seen a lot more of him than I have. From what I have seen the hype outweighs the substance. We'll see. The Mackems are notorious for thinking their players are better than they actually are. I've thought this ever since I was pointed to a thread on RTG several years ago which ran into 40 odd pages with most of them agreeing Lorik Cana was in the top 10 midfielders in world football. I won't pretend I've seen that much of Pickford, maybe half a dozen times or so, but based on what I have seen he's got a long way to go before he's anywhere near as good as the top Keepers in the PL. Also goalkeepers are made to look better when they play for Sunderland as they are constantly kept busy. Mingolet was meant to be the next great keeper but went to a big club and has been found out. Less than a year ago, probably more than half this board were saying that Moyes was a top manager who would take them forward despite the most recent evidence of Man U and Real Sociedad indicating otherwise.

midds Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 There was a bloke on there last week hinting that Pickford has a release clause and it was pretty modest. Sounded fairly genuine but was probably bollocks. Imagine if they only got about 9m for their only really saleable asset? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but unlikely a young pro would have that in their first or second contract unless they were seen as the next Messi or something. If he were to sign another one with them it'd be a certainty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hithere Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Where a have our resident Mackems gone? I'm here mate. Been a long time coming this and I'm under no illusions, it'll be a hard league to get out of next season. Without investment? I hope the young lads step up. Our U23 side is in a final. They must have something. With/Without Moyes? I must be one of few who think sticking with him is the best option. He was dealt a shit hand both at the start and throughout this season. Hasn't helped himself I admit but I think he could build something. I feel pretty apathetic towards this, pretty 'meh'. My shift change has recently allowed myself to get a season ticket again next season for the first time in four years. I'm looking forward to going to every game again and a weekend away in Leeds with some of the lads off my Sunday league team.

He just doesn't seem to have inspired or organised players one iota. Normally you'd say you lot can't change the manager again but you just get the feeling it's going to be more of the same shit with him there.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I can't say I've noticed him doing anything special and struggling teams often have 'keepers who look good purely because they're constantly being tested. It's a totally different scenario when they're playing for a team that's tested less often and they still have to stay on their toes and pull off the same saves.

Ashley17 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Sick of hearing that Moyes was dealt a shit hand. Like somebody made him spend £12m on Didier N'Dong. They've had a lot of injuries, granted, but is it really unlucky if Victor Anichebe is injured for 3 months? He's a player with a long history of getting injuries which Moyes took a gamble on and would you believe it, he got injuries. If they had no money anyway I don't know what Allardyce would have done with them, but he probably would have brought in a better centre half than Djilbodji or loaned somebody better than Jason Denayer after Kaboul had to go.

He also spent £8m on Djlibodji like. He wasted the very small amount of money he was given and it's unsurprising that they were not willing to let him waste even more in January.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'd rather we didn't spend silly money on a 'keeper. We need a top goalie of course, but we have competent enough men between the sticks. Basically that position is the least of our worries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
