This whole “record clean sheets” thing is glazed by the fact he barely has any saves to make in the first place due to Burnley’s back four, Esteve in particular who I wouldn't mind picking up as a 3rd/4th choice CB. Big fan of Esteve. Interesting to see how well he does in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 If he hasn't already agreed to join, I hope we have another target now that Garcia proved to be a bad rumour. And be another target, I don't mean some uninspiring premier league shite like Ramsdale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Still not sure we sign a keeper this window tbh, I think Trafford is the number one target. I don’t see Burnley selling at a price we consider fair this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 He’s got two years left on his deal, don’t think they can expect anything more than when they went down, which was around £20m mark. They’re going down again this season regardless if he’s there or not, so better off getting the money and investing into a new long term goalkeeper. That no other clubs are linked whatsoever, makes me strongly believe we have it all agreed in principle with Trafford and it’s just a matter of time, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were the only show in town then maybe the fee remains at £20m. If others are wanting him then the bidding war begins. Regardless of contract length.

Tsunami Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The way Trafford celebrated his 2 penalty saves against the Mackems with his Isak impression kinda felt he’d already decided he was coming here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Wish we'd sign a goalkeeper sharpish, for where the land's lying. I could get on board with another year from Purp for our champions league assault, if it doesn't happen Edited May 31 by Holloway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) I'm not convinced we will get a keeper this window. Howe is a massive fan of Pope, and I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves the goalkeeping side until next year. Obviously I think we need a goalkeeper, who is comfortable with the ball, but as said, i wouldn't be surprised if Pope is still number 1 next season.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 We're going to need a second keeper within a year to regardless on who we sign this summer. Can't see Pope being a number 2 and Dubs is off. Going to be difficult getting a decent number 2 in to play second fiddle to a young keeper destined to be England's number 1. Good luck Eddie!

Infinitely Content Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Even if we sign Trafford, Pope should be number one next season. Trafford isn't at Pope's level yet, I'm convinced he will get there and hopefully surpass him - but he's not there at present. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this and another year of experience under his belt I can see Burnley reasonably holding out for close to £40 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezertron Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 The pool of keepers in world footy is obviously smaller than outfield players, so if the club really like one now (Trafford or whoever) then I reckon go for it asap. Next summer there won't magically be a new group of regen keepers to pick from, it'll be the similar list of keepers to now or potentially worse - especially if Eddie is leaning UK based experience. Just get Trafford. Keep him for 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Eddie goes out of his way to praise someone who the interviewer hasn’t mentioned it makes me think (irrational I know) that (1) he’s touting them and/or (2) he is mitigating against their likely disgruntlement about a newbee coming in. He did this recently (Chelsea?) about Pope which stood out/jarred a bit. Regardless of that, I think it is nailed on we get a keeper this summer. Do think that he would never give a guarantee to the incomer that they will be no.1 choice; that will have to be earned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
