Dubs probably, his dropping for the last game and no Oz trip is signposting exit. Pope depends on who is coming in. Gillespie going nowhere, he’s basically Tier 2 Scott Carson.

Erikse Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) Not sure if posted yet, but he seems to be an excellent shot stopper, and a not so good passer. Bottom 7% of goalkeepers in pass completion percentage. He is 23, so he can still improve somewhat. Edited May 24 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That completion percentage is specifically for goal kicks right (that's what the launched is referring to seemingly). Do we know if Valencia are a side that are particularly direct? It could be that he is told to kick long every time which would negatively affect that stat quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those graphs you look and and think, 'whoa he's absolutely insanely good' and then realise half of it is just saying 'he boots the ball really long all the time and is very inaccurate doing so.'

Tim Krul comes to mind, one who would allways go for the long clearance, and who would rarely hit a teammate with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Based on the fact he cant pass, I'm a bit confused to why we are going for him. Didn't Howe want more passing from the back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's technically good enough with the ball at his feet - which I assume they've assessed - then no reason why he can't work on that side of the game. What we do know is that Pope isn't good with the ball by his feet and nor will he ever be, sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially just thinks he's the best choice available for the foreseeable? I think whatever 'keeper we get we're not going to be in the hunt for the top-top-tier, so we're going to need to compromise on some attributes and/or on a younger player that Howe thinks he can coach what he wants in to him.

I know nothing about him, maybe he is coachable, but 35m on a keeper who is limited seems a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw something a few days ago, might have been Edwards, saying Howe preferred Ramsdale but others preferred Big Mama. Who knows though as Ramsdale could have been a smokescreen.

dilligaf Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Ive watched a lot of Valencia this year and cant say Ive noticed any particular weakness to his game, I would say hes a def upgrade on Pope now, let alone what he could potentially become. No brainer imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
