nufc123 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Saved us last week, but that second goal is as bad as it gets. Also some weird goalkeeping pushing easy balls out for a corner kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Definitely doesn't seem comfortable after last seasons injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Probably one of the worst errors he's made for us but not going to dig him out as he's still a top keeper when it comes to saving. His knee save was remarkable earlier on and stopped a goal so whatever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I’ve said it before this season but he doesn’t look comfortable going to his left at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Pope is an elite shot stopper imo however he should have been sold in the summer because of his injury history and age. He will be a player we hang on to for too long and wonder why we are in FFP problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 I reckon he'll lead the clearout in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Not even going to mention his distribution in any detail. As it’s been done to death and he’s not going to improve that now. But he has looked off this season. Either he is taking an age to get himself back up to match sharpness. Or that shoulder is really limiting him. The 2nd goal is so bad. He is possibly the best in the league for saves with his feet. Often makes unconventional, almost 5-a-side-like keeper saves and just boots it out Tried to go down when the shot was close to him and got in a right old mess. Really has to be saving that. Defensive errors from the team collectively and individually for the Spurs goal and the second yesterday. But he has already been massively at fault for two goals this season. Which is certainly a concern. Still, tough gig being a keeper. Saved us 2 points just last week with an outrageous save from Cunha. Then makes a superb block at 2-1 yesterday to keep us in the game.

NUFC91 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Needed upgraded in the summer, crazy we have about 5 keepers who aren't either good enough to start or be a solid back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price, who to and price of realistic replacement? I fully admit I’m old fashioned and struggle to countenance selling our better players etc. hence the question Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much did Liverpool pay for Mama? 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the commercials etc. and see the point about Pope not improving but not sure how the figures help improve the picture that massively. 20 mill would be circa 14 profit minimum 30 mill (6 per year) replacement on potentially higher wages… If we had a better overall squad then fine but desperate for right wing, CH & CF but… Like I say dinosaur so happy for anything glaring to pointed out Edited September 22 by Monters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The profit comes when you sell the replacement down the line. and remember. Pope has a low book value so you get a nice chunk of profit and the fee for the replacement is amortised. You come out ahead in FFP terms with such a deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
