Yes, it's because some of them will be used to cover those positions too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, we may have 5 keepers but 4 are shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Honestly amazed that anyone is confused by or opposed to the idea of another GK. I'd rather watch Miggy and Murphy play RW than ever see Dubs in goal again for us. I have no idea if Trafford is the answer - just have to trust the club's scouting on that.

Yorkie Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 We won't sign Trafford unless at least one (probably two) of those keepers go. Howe said himself in the last presser that it could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your own logic we already have 2 right wingers. Also wanting a GK doesn't mean we're not looking at wingers too If nobody wants to sell us a good winger for a decent price, our options are: 1) overpay and fuck us for the next FFP window 2) waste good money on someone who's barely an upgrade, again where FFP is so crucial meaning we possibly can't afford a really good winger later 3) Wait until a top target is available at a reasonable price Which option do you want us to go for? Especially as seemingly the club are going for 3 and your not happy, so I presume you're in favour of 1 or 2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm okay with option 3, I just don't see why we would spend £20M on a keeper when this money could be the difference between getting a quality vs an average winger. We have two right wingers, but I don't deem them to be good enough to help us push for Top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 We have 1 good keeper on our books and one arguably passable one. Another decent keeper would be a welcome addition. Would we prefer a cb or rw first? Oh god, sure. But let’s at least improve where we can if- for whatever reason- we can’t get in anyone for the other positions.

Barnes23 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I might prefer to sign nobody if it meant we will look for an upgrade on Pope in the forthcoming few windows instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) I get they're building for the future - but this guy isn't ready. I'd still be concerned if Pope gets injured and he's our starting goalkeeper. Not going to get any better warming the bench either. Edited August 29 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
