STM Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 10 hours ago, Lush Vlad said: So weird to have the opinion a keeper looks nowhere near good enough for us right now? I thought he looked terrible every time I saw Burnley or their highlights. Not sure why we would spend what I would guess would be quite a substantial fee. On someone who is nowhere near the level we are after, might never be, but won’t be for a good few years regardless. Keep hearing we are restricted by FFP. Yet we keep getting linked with goalkeepers that are not worth it as a backup, not better than Pope or would cost a bomb. Either get a genuinely decent number 2 that wouldn’t cost the earth or go and get a marquee signing to replace Pope. Trafford is neither of these and I don’t think we can risk another Hall or Livramento, for the future type signings for decent money. I've watched football for 30 years now, since I went to my first game, I've not once seen a 21 year old keeper look ready to be a number 1. My point is that people have made their judgement on a 21 year old and basically labelled him shite and that's that. Personally, I'd ask serious questions of Vincent Kompany for playing such a naive brand of football, leading to conceding so many chances and exposing a 21 year old goalkeeper. Burnley switched to Muric, who despite what people say, wasn't a good keeper, he made two of the worst howlers you are ever likely to see. Moreover, obviously someone somewhere rates Trafford, after all he's the U21s England keeper and given the standard of player we are now producing, that's not to be sniffed at. He also came through at City, again, someone rates him. Then there's the point about needing to spend money on a keeper. We've got two choices: 1. Sign a cheap backup in the mould of a Fraser Forster and hope Pope stays fit. 2. Sign a quality goalkeeper to compete with Pope, whether number 1 or number 2. This costs. We can spend 10m or so on Trafford, 20m or so on Ramsdale or 30m or so Marmadashvilli. The quality goes up with the price, but so does our FFP restriction.

Why would they now sell at a loss a season later? Unless he kicks up a fuss and demands a move. I can’t see it. What other U21 keeper options do we have? Are we not a bit lacking in that department at all levels bar Pickford? Hence why Trafford got a call up as about 5th choice. Despite being nowhere near ready. Not that he would have played, mind. Just not sure what relevance him playing at U21 level has. Plenty of average players who get stick have played for England at junior and senior levels. As for points 1 and 2. I don’t think he is good enough to be a backup for us currently. Never mind compete with Pope. Especially not at what he would cost. Hence my comment about not wanting him anywhere near the club.

I still think he has plenty to offer. But without going all tinfoil hat. Something seemed off last season after all the rumours and he had so many games where he just totally switched off. If we do sell him and get back similar or more than what we paid for him. Then it is totally understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
