nemtizz Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 3 keepers signed and not a single upgrade on Pope would be hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 For as 'limited' as Pope is, there's really not many out there at the moment that would be a here and now upgrade. I think we're all understimating Pope and overestimating the availability of goalkeepers. Granted, I personally thing Pope no longer has a left arm, but hey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I like this move, and have no problem with it at all. Â Talented young goalie being brought along behind Pope is good planning. Â Old man Ruddy as the third keeper and wise old head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydos Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 If Carsley gets the England gig full time Trafford will be an full international in a year or 2 and his value will skyrocket. PSR-tastic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope’s kicking invites so much pressure back on us. It’s worse almost than the defenders who can’t play it out from the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Signing Trafford as one for the future is a good move. Hopefully we’d then loan him out for regular minutes or he’d slot in as the #2 and allow us to shift Dubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How happy would you be with our options if, God forbid, Pope spends a significant time out? You saw last season the drop off from our no. 1 to our no. 2 and the points lost because of it. We’ve signed no one that can compete with/ oust Dubravka for that back up role.  It’s not looking good on the rw and cb front so why leave money on the table and not solve another squad issue?

And that's unfortunate really.  Looking at it completely separately from all that though, I like the move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding yet another now reeks of incompetence or some financial chicanery we are not privy too. If we needed Ruddy as an influence, then what's the point in Gillespie who was brought in for that?  And who knows about Odysseus with his ever increasing fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a joke, I love nick Pope and feel really reassured when he’s in goal. Edited August 29 by Playmaker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Not on board with Trafford. Guy needs a season or two minimum playing and making mistakes as he learns. Sitting on our bench all season does him no good. If it was signed and loaned back to Burnley it’s about tolerable. But having him on our bench isn’t really succession planning for post Pope. It’s just a younger squad goalkeeper compared to Dubravka/Greek guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be happy at all but I wouldn't have signed Ruddy or the greek bloke. I'd have bought Ramsdale for 18 million like Southampton are. He has similar limitations to Pope with regards to distribution but about the same if not better in all other areas.
