Slim Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Why does Alisson keep getting mentioned every few months? Not hard to understand he would not be leaving Liverpool to ever come to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) I can imagine that Burnley would want closer to 40m for Trafford. (Addons included) Edited May 14 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergenMagpie Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Not overly keen on AFCON players and would certanly not want our goalie to leave for AFCON every other season during the hectic xmas schedule (still traumatized from when Ba, Cisse and Tiote went) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wong989 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Rather we didn't roll the dice on a young French League goalie, especially one who'd be going to AFCONS. There's lots of goalies likely available without having to take that kind of punt. Kelleher (not sure how much better than Pope he'd turn out) Trafford, Lunin from Madrid. On another topic, Kang-in Lee. We were linked a couple times before, seems he may be moved this summer. Would offer real technical quality and attacking threat in attacking midfield and cutting in off the right. Of all the players I can think of, this would massively improve us. Like his work rate too, not afraid to get stuck in. Of course there's a big marketing aspect as well, draw huge attention from Asia. , Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 There's only one keeper who should replace Pope. Marco Carnesecchi. I'll keep saying his name until it happens. Obviously we're not gonna spend £50m on a keeper though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 As Pope is back on form I don’t think GK is our top priority tbh. Would rather go for other options until Trafford is available at a fair price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 We said this last year and Pope still cost us points this year. We need a new keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lack of transfer wokeness has been an advantage for us. I don't want one of these regen keepers that can't handle pressure or a cross. I know what you mean. I'm kind of feeling 'all or nothing' with the keeper, don't want us to be like Chelsea have have several who we don't know who is best, don't want us to be like Man U and sacrifice shot stopping for ball playing etc... But I'd be happy for us to go big if we are confident we find our guy for the next 10 years, if not then Pope is fine. Can't say I've watched Trafford, but find it hard to believe he will be Pope's level at shot stopping, commanding area etc. There's not many super potential keepers it seems, so why aren't loads of other big clubs after Trafford if his potential is high? (could be wrong and he turns out great, he has overperformed his expected saves stat etc) Joan García looks great from YouTube clips and is wanted by Arsenal and Barca, would love him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has similar enormous wingspan, but probably more athleticism. We’re he’s inferior is commanding the area. I don’t think it’s as much of an issue as some make out, but he’s definitely not at Pope’s level. And obviously, he’s significantly better with his feet.

Mamardashvili seemed perfect because although he's young, he looks much the finished product. It's a bad Valencia team but a big team nonetheless. I guess I just don't want us to have a GK that has to learn on the job. And Howe is the type of manager to bench a player who needs that indefinitely anyway.
