You don't rate him either? Ignore everything I've said... look at the mans GA against record in 2014/15 ffs!
He been a defeatist, drab and **** all season. Lost a lot of the fans. But we are stuck with him sadly. Good news U23s play porto tomorow in cup final. Expect about 15k there. Not bad for U 23s.
Not sure to be honest. Although I would think for players at a club like Sunderland, a relegation clause would likely be a common thing, especially among their best players.
Well yeah in Sunderlands case those are the players who will have plenty of suitors. I cant imagine their agents not insisting on relegation clauses. Not in this day and age!
Pickford signed a new 4 year deal this season i think, which means the club should be able to get top dosh for him. Been no mention of any clause in his contract.
You would know better than I, I guess. But for an emerging young talent like that? If his agent didn't insist on a relegation clause, it would be a serious oversight imo
If it was up to the lad himself i believe he would stay 1 more season and help get us back up. He absolutely loves safc but the club will need the money and sell regardless. My guess before tonight was £20m plus add ons. But after tonights heroics that's an extra 5m i reckon! All just my opinion of course!
My understanding is that he's free to negotiate his own deal provided it is to a team that plays in blue, has won the title in the last 3 seasons ...and isn't Chelsea....
Pickford is going to Everton by the way. My mate heard it direct from Pickford's dad last week. He's shunning the bench at the top 4 for regular football just below. Fair play to the lad.
Top 4? You reckon he'd be on the bench behind **** like Mignolet and Bravo? I think Everton would be a good move for him, no pressure to win trophies and a good solid club moving in the right direction.
Indeed. He is far better than both of those keepers. Maybe City and Pool have shown no interest though,. Everton would be a decent move for him.
City would be the last place I'd be going if I was a young English player looking to make a step up. Be interesting to see where he ends up, a club from Europe might go for him, Barca or Real or Juve, who knows.
