El Prontonise Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 59 minutes ago, Lush Vlad said: People suggesting Pope goes the other way as part of the deal. Not a chance while Parker is there IMO. The few times I’ve seen Burnley. They pass it around at the back more than most teams. Trafford is often heavily involved in their build up. I still think Pope is underrated on here as a keeper because of how bad he is with his feet. But because of that. I can’t think of a worse fit for them. Yeah, Pope wouldn't suit them under Parker.

mighty__mag Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I feel with Trafford we should do a Chelsea amortisation deal, offer an 8 year contract, goalkeepers are less risk and play the longest. He's young also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's young also. That loophole was closed ages ago, contracts are amortisised over 5 years maximum I think the only benefit of what Chelsea do for them, is that they can pay players lower wages over a longer time, so players are more inclined to sign with them in some circumstances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC91 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Might be in the minority but buying Trafford isn't the answer for me, if we want to progress is buying another Burnley keeper the way forward. Personally think we can get caught up in buying the easy 'English' option. Team who wants Europe again so we not need to be more ambitious? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this about Trafford though, or the fact he’s English and comes from Burnley? I’ve basically never seen him play, so I don’t really know. But he is pretty highly rated.

Rich Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 The bright side is that anyone we sign should look like Pope and Dubs did when they first arrived. It’ll be a breath of fresh air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't conceded a goal since before Christmas which suggests he might be ok. What reasons do you have for thinking he isn't good enough? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd signed him directly from there would it have been a problem for as many? If We signed cole palmer when he wasn't getting a game at city I'm sure there'd be plenty saying it was another shite english signing Also Burnley hardly play like they did when Pope was there under dyche Edited February 27 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability is what we need to focus on. Should we not have signed Tino because he was at Southampton? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he saved them two pens against the mackems. Obviously a lot is down to team structure and how well they’ve defended. But to only concede 9 goals in 34 games shows any weaknesses he does have clearly aren’t as significant as some would make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 My worry is that Burnley park the bus massively in an awful league so is that stat more on that or him who knows? meslier only conceded 20 which is still not a lot but he's awful. Hoping if we go for him he's a top keeper but we don't seem to do much business outside of England as of late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
