Didn’t you see all the great shot stopping he did against us.

Or isn’t that not important again :lol:
 
Highly doubt they’re going to sell him for £30m when they’ve recently tied him to a new contract in any case.

Feels like nonsense.
 
I quite rate Pickford, at least compared to numerous posters here, but for the prospective price, and given other promising options with slightly more...composure in their distribution and decision-making when called to sweep, this would be another of the club's perversely bad judgement calls, much like their inability to navigate the midfielder/back-up wide fwd/striker market this summer if most prominent rumours are at least partially true..
 

Alan Nixon (reluctantnicko) is quite reliable as far as I'm aware.

I think there are better goalkeeping options out there than Pickford but I do think he'd represent a significant upgrade on De Gea. If he really would be available at £30 million, I think that'd be quite a reasonable price tag as well.
 
Price is the issue. Without a release clause, there is little chance he is going for 30m. His distribution is probably the second issue. Better than de gea though, but the fact that we are in for him just confirms how lousy we are at spending money. This dude and mount are all the proof we need....we spend bags of money on very average footballers just becoz they are English or something weird like rhat

If Ten Hag really thinks Pickford is the answer might as well sack him already. That's all I'll say.
 
Everyone involved in this eventual transfer should be immediately sacked on the spot. Everyone.
 
Would be a good signing if the aim is to go with even longer balls out from the back.
 
The gk position will define his time with us. Just hope he sees the obvious and it ain't Pickford
 
How credible is this guy

He’s okay for Football League stuff (Championship and downwards). His contacts seems to be agents that operate in those leagues.

Local journos are far better though.

Yes that's the right take, rather than the hysteria most posters are coming out with.

Pickford is good not great. Better than DDG. A bit underwhelming but it would represent an improvement, if the price is OK. The whole strategy with DDG staying is weird.
 
He’s not as bad as everyone makes out but he’s not an upgrade on DDG for me, so what’s the point.
 
Some people have De Gea derangement syndrome. Imagine thinking yeah, "I'll take Pickford so I don't have to suffer Dave".

Don’t see why that’s being scoffed at. Already people are saying that De Gea will define Ten Hag’s reign. He’s a liability.

So let's sign a bigger liability.
 
I’m absolutely sure that we need a new Nr.1 but I’m also equally sure that Pickford is not the answer.
