We are FFP restricted, we are selling someonex who isn’t going to improve and is ageing for someone who is younger and is going to improve. We have to flexible as a club because our commercial revenue is way behind and it isn’t going to allow us to catch up to the sky 6. You reckon we get £15-20m for Pope next summer? I would be surprised. Among other things one of the ongoing problems with our bargaining position for most sales is we blatantly want the sales to go through.

No probably not because once again we’ve held on to him for too long he should have been let go this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right. But even so, with him still not fully over dislocating his shoulder a second time, I think we'd have been looking at breaking even at best.

Possible, it’s still something I’d have looked to do mind. and to be clear, he’s the best stopper I’ve seen play for but FFP means we have to box clever.

What sort of money would we be getting for him off the back of that injury? Who were we going to replace him with when we were already struggling with PSR and that Marmaduke fella was being touted for about £30-40m? Get Trafford in and hope he suddenly gets better at such a young age, but for quite a large fee? Would it even make sense at the numbers quoted at that point to change keepers for a bit of a loss or for no gain PSR-wise? Obviously we could have got yet another keeper in. As we didn't spend fuck all but I doubt that was expected by many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Surely Pope would be worth loads to any team to don't play with a high line / play out from the back? He's an unreal shot stopper Cant say I watch them, but wouldn't he do well at West Ham who sit deep and don't really play 'football' as most teams try to?

Arguably his greatest asset for us, has been how good he is as a sweeper keeper. Meaning we can push higher up the pitch. But we haven't played with such a high line since the 4th place season and he also doesn't seem quite as confident/suicidal with flying off his line these days, anyway.

Joelinton7 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Just seen the lazy pass out again. It’s just never on. Really needs to stop doing this stupid shit (along with kicking it out of play 5 times a game). Really undermines his other wonderful talents.

Tsunami Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I watched him do a 10 minute drill pre match where he had to control a pass and hit out to the left, middle and right off either foot. He did ok but the drill needs to include someone closing him down. His shop stopping by far out weighs his skills with his feet. We should allow him to hit long more often. Asking him to play a difficult pass into Bruno’s feet who is shouting for the ball with an opposing player rapidly closing him down is just asking for trouble.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Some incredible saves but is still saving some routine shots awkwardly and seems like he doesn't want to catch the ball, it's quite strange at this point. Obviously his kicking we all already know is dreadful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 His pre match warm up didn’t suggest any issues with his shoulder. I got in really early today and him, Dubs & Ruddy were already out going through drills. He dropped a few crosses under pressure from Ruddy. Wouldn’t fancy a clip off Ruddy mind. He’s a bit of a unit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 As long as he saves shots like today he can put the ball into the dugout whenever he wants 😂. Keeper first player second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
