They’ll want £40m too and the money he’s on won’t be helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 We've been scouting him for yonks and earmarked him as our keeper for the future We'd be daft to just completely write him off now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 43 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Latest from Hope... A move for Dayann Methalie is expected. Smit is likely to stay put and will have his pick of clubs across Europe in the summer. We have no plans to go back in for Trafford and we will look at alternative targets in the summer. Villa are sniffing around Osula at a bargain price, something we're unwilling to entertain. Frankfurt and Palace are also interested. At present there have been no approaches for Willock. Long term BDB / Botman replacement as well as cover for Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nothing has changed from our perspective - we still need a new keeper and we've probably got more data on him than any of our other targets and we were willing to buy him last summer and the summer before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Nearly all of us were really keen and excited for us to sign Trafford in the summer If we could get him for a good deal we'd be stupid to cut our noses to spite our face just because he chose City in front of us because our recruitment team was a mess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine that may be a factor too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a baby in goal keeping terms. Perhaps with Pope's rapid regression, we're looking at a more seasoned option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’ll know until summer anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anywhere he stands on his hand when reviewing the footage. Stands on his hand. Look at his reaction as he immediately lifts it up. There was a better close up available at the time. Originally I thought it was a stinker of a decision but then someone pointed this out to me and I could see why the ref maybe blew when he did.
