Lush Vlad Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 9 minutes ago, TRon said: Pretty sure it has. If we are actively looking to sign him. Then we’ll be hoping they don’t get promoted. As I’d imagine his price would go up again. He might even want to stay if they go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 15 minutes ago, KaKa said: Isn't this the guy people were raging about us being linked with over the summer? Indeed. I don't think it's a question that he'd be a great talent with lots of potential who could grow with us, hopefully become a mainstay for years to come, like Botman, rather than a ready-made elite player like Bruno/Tonali.

SUPERTOON Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Fwiw, people’s main issue/questions over him are his ability coming for crosses. It’s a weakness in his game, Burnley fans themselves say the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trafford’s FBRef does suggest he is below average on crosses and someone on here said their Burnley mate calls him ‘Flapper Trafford’ It was a weakness aye. However, he was a top keeper in spite of it, is more my point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football fans in general aren't very good at judging goalkeepers. Tbf, Given appeared to be permanently welded to his line for crosses into the box, and close range headers were definitely a weakness of his. It didn't stop him being an absolutely fantastic keeper for us mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Prontonise Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 1 minute ago, LFEE said: Is he having to make any saves of note?

Matt1892 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 3 hours ago, LFEE said: Is he having to make any saves of note? Burnley keeper James Trafford has only faced 21 shots on target in achieving his 11 successive clean sheets - including saving two penalties from Sunderland's Wilson Isidor. No team has had more than three shots on target against them in any of those games. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq8kle2x81do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Definitely think he’d be a great signing. A happy medium between Pope and Dubs with room to improve. I’d like to think he’d be behind an equally strong defence also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
