Nick Pope out for a month with knee ligament injury (Various)


Recommended Posts

Not the most glamourous signing but at that alleged fee it's a great signing. The fee will even be offset by a Darlow or Woodman sale and Dubravka, Pope and Gillespie* is a much better pool of GKs than Dubravka, Darlow, Woodman, Gillespie. Was also surprised at how good he is at being a sweeper keeper, looking at some stats for the keepers in the top 5 leagues. His lack of real prowess in distribution and with his feet will hopefully by offset by a CB like Botman coming in, assuming that that eventually happens.

His lack of prowess in distribution could well be down to what he was asked to do at Burnley.
