54 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Trafford makes complete sense tbh, and the perfect player to come in and play second fiddle to Pope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boey_Jarton Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 A lack of two decent keepers probably cost us 10 points + last season , so perhaps so there may be some logic in allocating reasonable budget to a GK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I don’t mind the idea of bringing Trafford in. I’m sure Eddie/the scouts have watched enough of him. Probably spoke to Tino and Gordon, possibly pope too to see what they think of him. hard to judge him when playing in an absolute shit Burnley side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) 17 minutes ago, gbandit said: Anyone seen him play enough to make a judgement? I think there’s a good keeper in there. Seems to have suffered with confidence issues. He’s playing behind a defence which Kompany insisted played out from the back, but they just weren’t capable. A lot of that ability disappeared with Harwood-Bellis not returning. When he got the ball there was never much of an out ball that didn’t result in him having to face a shot 5 seconds later. For £16m-£20 it’s not too much of a risk. Definitely one for playing with his feet. Just needs confidence and probably better players in front of him. A bit of a baptism of fire last season. I would hope he’d learn a a lot from Pope and improve as he ages. Edited June 8 by Joelinton7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Said I didn’t want him here. Stand by that to a point. I’m sure he could be a good keeper in time. So the club could be viewing it the same as Tino and Hall last season. But £15-20m for a back up who currently, IMO, isn’t very good. Seems mental to me. Especially when we have starting positions and depth in other areas that need addressing more urgently. If all the FFP stuff is true. It feels like a waste of money for the here and now and like we could have got a number 2/competition for Pope for less money as a more short to mid term solution. Not a long term prospect and a bit of a gamble at a big price. But if we signed him. He’d get my full support and if the club rate him. That’s good enough for me. They have been very good with most of their business so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upthemags Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 2 hours ago, SteV said: Minteh’s only started 17 Eredivisie games. It’s a mad risk for anyone to be spunking £40m on him. Although, a team like Liverpool can afford to risk it and absorb the loss if he turns out to be Antony-esque. About a goal contribution per 90 mins as a 19 year old... Nutty any way you try to slice it. Whether that translates one-to-one to PL physicality is a different story, but this lad is a baller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
