NSG Posted Tuesday at 10:29 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:29 A decade ago if I saw something appear on the yellow ticker I’d be running the transfer bath. Now if it’s reported on SSN first I treat it with a massive pinch of salt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Pope is he’s getting on, and if you look at his shoulder funny it pops out. I’d prefer him and Trafford compete like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Tuesday at 10:30 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:30 Can’t imagine Pope being a number two, feels very unlikely. But if we keep them both happy, brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted Tuesday at 10:31 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:31 Pope is far too good to be a number 2, mind. Keeping him and getting him to believe in the competition aspect between him and Trafford would be more impressive than signing Trafford in the first place.

Dr Jinx Posted Tuesday at 10:32 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:32 We know the drill, Eddie won’t use him until he fully trusts him OR the glimpses we see are irrefutable. Like Bruno, we could all see the quality, yet he had him on the bench for best part of a month, maybe more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted Tuesday at 10:33 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:33 On 06/06/2025 at 18:24, The Prophet said: “In the summer I think people knew I wanted to move,” he told the Ben Foster's Fozcast podcast. “The club that I was close to going, it was a good fit for me. It was brilliant for me and I really believed in it. “I wanted to move, not just because I didn’t want to play in the Championship, I had no shame playing in the Championship. I have no ego to think I’m better than the Championship. You only prove something by performing and showing people. You can say whatever you want but unless you perform. “It was just when an opportunity and a situation you think suits you can happen, you should take it and you should try and go for it, so I wanted to move. It was close but it didn’t end up happening. “The manager was brilliant throughout pre-season. I wasn’t the best, I was moody because I’m young and I wanted to move, but in the moment I still worked extremely hard. “I knew the longer it went on, the reality became I would be playing the first game of the season and I wanted to play. I told the manager I’m available if he wanted to select me. If not, I’ll sit on the bench, but I’m available. He played me the first game and that was it.” I don't normally listen to their show but Geordie Journos said the deal was done last season, fee all agreed, and then our PSR debacle stopped it. They brought it up as defence for the Mitchell comment using some variant of "not fit for purpose" about our transfer policy. I hope the fee hasn't gone up too much. If he wants to start, he'll have to earn it, but the above comment makes him sound very mature. Just on sweeping, but Pope doing it and Dubs not doing it suggests its a combination of Pope's ability and recognition of that from Howe. If all our keepers did it, you could claim it was just manager policy/tolerance of risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pope will hang around for the start of the season, if he sees that he is second choice then he'll probably move and we'll have to look for a younger back up.

gbandit Posted Tuesday at 10:43 Share Posted Tuesday at 10:43 40 seems ridiculous given we almost had him for twenty a year or so ago. They’re almost all but guaranteed to go down next season. Really annoying that they got promoted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
