I'd rather stick with Dubravka, Pope might be marginally better but not enough to warrant spending money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The whole distribution thing, is that not just how Burnley played anyway? Lump it forward to a big man, hope for the best? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Now, I would always argue the case that the 'Dubz is way better than Henderson' take was our collective bias towards Dubravka being a legend. Don't feel the same way about Pope. Very little between Dubravka and Pope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Pope is a solid keeper, but it feels like the difference between him and Dubs is marginal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lump it forward to a big man, hope for the best? No, he literally kicks the ball in to touch. he’s a good shot stopper but aren’t most keepers? The point I’m making is, if we are signing him to sit on the bench that’s fine but why? If we are signing him to start then shouldn’t we be aiming higher?

SUPERTOON Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I’d be shocked if we are in for Pope tbh, considering his price tag and age we will target someone younger and cheaper imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have a cheap-ish relegation release clause? Sure somewhere mentioned in the region of £12m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick scan has articles quoting his likely saleable value as £10m to £20m. No release clause like Cornet. £40m is what fat tongued moron Merson said we should pay for him. Pope’s contract is up next summer so realistically it’s sell now or for buttons in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would assume it would be an easy deal to do then, I’m hoping we avoid tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Pope as back up/competition to Dubravka would do me just fine, he's miles better than Darlow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Pope is a good keeper, although not the progressive keeper that I'd have assumed we might target. Reading between the lines, does Ashworth believe he can do a cheaper deal for Pope than what we might have paid for Henderson. I wonder if Darlow could go the other way. He'd be perfect for them. Burnley can't afford to turn down money. They need to rebuild. Somewhere around the 15 million mark would be a fair deal IMO.

Nucasol Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Darlow plus a bit of cash, keeps overheads down. Or could flog Wood back to them and they could sell Weighorst to bridge the tv money drop off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
