The Butcher Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 James Trafford as a long term Pope replacement? Looks weak as piss atm and could do with a loan or five before he's good and ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagMal Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Just watching MOTD and realised that the young goalie at Burnley, Trafford is not playing at the minute. I know he looked shell-shocked half way through the season but he looked great in the under 21's in the summer. If Burnley go down they might need a few quid and he would make an excellent back up to Pope with a view to taking over in a season or two, he knows our young English lads which would help. I think they paid about £15m for him, if we could get him for around that it would be money well spent and squad player type money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsdale, Pickford and one or two others had similar seasons in relegation fodder. That's if we're confident Pope's shoulder is okay and can go for another 2-3 years as number 1. If not, I think we need someone proven who can go straight in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine we will know mid-friendlys in the summer if Pope's should is up to it, if not we might see a scramble towards the end of the transfer window for a more experienced keeper but all the other clubs will have bedded in their squad by then so could be a bit of a gamble and we might not get anyone decent. With the two back up keepers on their way in the summer then this could be a problem position if Pope doesn't make a full recovery. No doubt the club are already on it now that we have professionals in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finish out of the top 8 this season and then next season I'm sure he'd consider moving on and the club will have to sell before he goes for free.

Checko Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Bowen would be quality but after the season he's having he's probably at peak value right now so I very much doubt we could afford him. From Wiki he was a Man U fan growing up. If they can shift some players this summer he'd be a cracking Antony upgrade for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Players from PL clubs: ESM, Zinchenko, Ramsdale, Ramsey, McTominay, Bowen, Paqueta, Madueke, Colwill, Solanke, Kelly, Cunha, Neto, Hee-Chan, Van Hecke, Joao Pedro, Ferguson, Tosin, Palhinha, Robinson, Eze, Anderson, Olise, Branthwaite, Onana, Toney, Mbuemo, MGW, Murillo, Trafford. A fair selection of players who might be on our radar. Some more realistic than others obviously and some more desirable than others. If I were to pick 3 which suit our transfer strategy and seem semi realistic: Morgan Gibbs-White Levi Colwill Dominic Solanke I can "see" these 3.

Astroblack Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Colwill would be a dream. Even thought they’re selling their Cobham graduates, I think someone’s put it in their ear that Colwill will become a cornerstone player in their future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even thought they’re selling their Cobham graduates, I think someone’s put it in their ear that Colwill will become a cornerstone player in their future. The fact that Poch doesn't play him regularly (is he injured?), suggests that he's not necessarily seen as someone for the now, and given their FFP needs, surely there would be a deal to be done. I honestly think he's the best young English CB (not stacked in that area). He'd be worth every penny the 45m we paid for Gordon and possibly more. He can play CB and LB which should make him gold dust. Edited April 28 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Colwill seems to pick up a few injuries mind, which is a bit worrying for a young player. A couple of months this year, a month the year before, couple of months the year before that. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/levi-colwill/verletzungen/spieler/614258 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
