PlymouthGeordie Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Pope would be a big upgrade on Dubravka. Neither are great with distribution but Pope has a great command of his box, is a better shot stopper and bigger talker. 30 is young for a keeper too. We'd easily get 5 years out of him.

number37 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 We should see if we can do a leveraged buyout, use Burnley's own money to buy Pope. Gets round FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Makes no sense to get rid of Darlow and bring in Pope, both him and Dubs would be expecting to start so one would just end up unhappy. If we really want a new starting keeper we will be looking at selling Dubs surely. Edited June 16, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it at Burnley Pope’s horrendous with his feet. So would be a odd choice in terms of making us more progressive. He’s very, very solid otherwise though.

I don’t think he’s much better than Dubs but it means no dip in quality if either is injured, unlike the last 5 years.

STM Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 10m for Pope would be the perfect bridge between where we are and where are going. Having a core of British players is crucial IMO and Pope is Englands number 2/3. He's already PL proven. Decent value at 10m. Half the price Henderson was touted for. Nice to think that if we had a 20m budget for a keeper that 10m has been saved for another area. Not that it works that way I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think Pope & Dubravka are top 8 level as a pair. 2-3 years time let Dubravka move on and sign a new number 1 once we’re in the top 6:7 places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are similar, both good shot stoppers, both pretty average with their feet but where Pope excels is his command of the box, ignoring his mistake at SJP. Would be a super solid move.
