The Prophet Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 When do we think this gets agreed then? I'll go with Monday, have a feeling Palace may want a replacement in before they let him go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he’s trying to buy Palace… He should wait until we close on Guehi, shave £65mil off the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are paying for a young, established Premier League defender that has captained his club, and who has broken into the England team and played a part in them getting to the Euros final. He is expected to come right into the team. They have paid near the same amount for 'promise' based off one year at Lille in Ligue 1. For a defender that will be third choice behind DeLigt and Martinez to start with. I'm happy with our approach and believe it will have a far more immediate impact. No, I agree with you in all of that; I wasn’t talking about our business dealings at all. I’m largely very happy with our transfer model. My point was more about Ashworth’s experience and know how in setting up pathways (thanks for the word @Ronson333) for youth players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well lets see if he can manage it at Man Utd. He won't have the luxury of bringing through young players without any pressure of winning games. And so a lot of things will need to be right to make it work. And it's going to be a whole different set of expectations. Hope it all goes horribly wrong.

Hudson Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Ain't it funny how Man u class us as a rival again. Have we risen, or have they fallen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a good/very good PL keeper who had an unbelievable 4 month spell which I doubt he'll reach again (hadn't beforehand in his career). Once we've sorted out RCB and RW, then it's the logical next position to upgrade? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me personally - one game into the season and he’s probably already kept just as many clean sheets that Dubs did all if last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we're looking at Hall at LB, I don't see the next upgrade after CB & RW without spending £80-100m ourselves? Also, Dubravka has regressed into a poor keeper, an average keeper would make a big difference let alone Pope.

ExiledGeordie Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 Hopefully this gets finalised today or by the weekend then we can ‘try’ and bring in a RW somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 Pope is an obvious upgrade down the line, fantastic keeper but if we can find someone with his goal keeping skills but competent with the ball at his feet it’s already an upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2024 Share Posted August 23, 2024 Would be brilliant to have him in for Spurs with Schar being out. I think we'll be fine without him against bottom half teams but when it comes to the top 7/8, the more quality we have there the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination of Pope reading the game and sweeping and Guehi’s recovery pace would give the defence a completely different dimension Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - Pope was an upgrade on Dubravka, but I wouldn’t be unhappy for us to spend big money next summer on a new keeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
