SUPERTOON Posted yesterday at 12:59 Share Posted yesterday at 12:59 Still don’t think we can afford to spend a big chunk of our budget on a keeper. Other more pressing areas needed imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis H Posted yesterday at 13:12 Share Posted yesterday at 13:12 Straight swap for Pope so we can try and not spend any money for another window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted yesterday at 13:13 Share Posted yesterday at 13:13 29 minutes ago, ToonAbroad said: "It is hoped that a compromise will eventually be reached with Trafford still keen on the move, but it could be a transfer that drags on into the summer." Good stuff... Sounds about right. Should probably avoid clicking this thread for a few weeks. It will get done, just probably take a while getting there.

Yorkie Posted yesterday at 13:16 Share Posted yesterday at 13:16 I know these transfers seldom happen but using Pope in the move makes plenty sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted yesterday at 13:19 Share Posted yesterday at 13:19 “Getting business done quickly” and not wanting to pay big fees don’t exactly go hand in hand unfortunately. There’s no incentive for the selling side to agree a low fee so early on in the summer. They’ll want to smoke out other bids. It’s why stingy teams like Tottenham tend to do their business so late in the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted yesterday at 13:19 Share Posted yesterday at 13:19 I love Pope and he's given us a good few years outside of his injuries. But if we want to evolve our style of play then we need a 'keeper that doesn't shank the ball out of touch or to opposition defenders 90% of the time. If Howe sees Trafford as being that 'keeper then it's a priority position imo. I still think this was evidenced by Dubs's run this season. Obviously he's not better than Pope overall but I feel like we overall controlled games a lot better during that run than at other times of the season by virtue of having a 'keeper that didn't shit his keks with the ball at his feet, offsetting his shotstopping shortcomings. I also can't see how Pope sticks around if he's not #1 so I could see us recouping a bit from him moving on if we do get a 'keeper in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted yesterday at 13:46 Share Posted yesterday at 13:46 3 hours ago, Shearergol said: We didn't have Tonali the season before. This is 23/24 I'm talking about. Both Tonali and Longstaff played in that West Ham game (2-2). They also both played a part in the Brighton loss. Same season I’m referring to. Tonali’s removal changed results and our defensive cover from a midfield perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
