Pickford... One suitor potentially out of the mix

Hugo Lloris has just signed a new five year deal at Spurs. Hopefully that settles those rumours.

Now we just need Liverpool to sign Hart and Pep to be a stubborn **** and pledge his bag of **** keeper is the future.

 

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I wouldn't ignore City, even if they do commit to Bravo.
Buying Pickford and loaning him back would suit them down to the ground and Short might go for that sort of deal.
The same might be true for Chelsea.

I think that a bigger threat might only happen if you get relegated, which I hope you don't.
Someone like Everton or Southampton could afford a decent bid and he'd improve them.

 

I can't see Chelsea being interested but he'd be perfect for City unfortunately. Everton and Southampton...maybe, I'm naive enough to hope that he wouldn't move to someone at that level and that if he went it'd only to be to one of the very top sides.

 

Chelsea love to pick up young players and loan them out, even for years.
They did it with Courtois and I could see them potentially looking at Pickford, in a similar deal.
Wouldn't see them signing him as competition for their current keepers, though.

I'd agree about Everton and Southampton, but only if you stay up.
Pickford will be looking at maintaining his spot in the England squad and he'd be more likely to do that in the Premier League.
Even more so if that side can make it into Europe, in some fashion.

 

Yeah if we go down then all bets are off really, he could end up at any half decent side who put a good bid in.

I just can't see him going to Chelsea, if he does I hope he likes sitting on benches which wouldn't help his career at all. I can see Courtois as their number one for some time.

 

Funny one really, do we keep him in the hope that we stay up?
Do we sell him to get as much as we can before we might get relegated?
If we go down Sunderland are notoriously ****e at getting the best deals for our better players.
Or young Pickford might just love the club that much he doesn't want to move?
Over to you Mr Moyes.

 

How many points has he saved you up to now, realistically?

 

Really hard to put a number on it but he makes maybe one save every two games that you'd class as one that you wouldn't expect your average keeper to make and has most likely helped us get points, given the way that if we do win it's usually by a fine margin.

Even in the 3-0 win against Hull it could have been a different story without him, and Hull being **** to be fair.

 

Like Nacho, hard to say how many points he has saved us, must be a couple at least.
How would Manone have done if he had played in goal all season, its anyone's guess but i don't think there would be much in it.

 

How many points has he earned us with his fantastic distribution of the ball?

 

In the Evening Standard. Arsenal lining up a move, but would loan back.




If someone can copy it. Phone wont allow me.

 

Arsenal are lining up Sunderland stopper Jordan Pickford in a January deal that would see the Black Cats receive £4.5m for their rising star and the player would be loaned back to the North East club for the remainder of the season.

More to follow.

 

Wow, 4.5 mil? Gee, thanks Mr Wenger.

Thanks but **** off and insert the money up your derrière.

 

No it's a great deal as long as we get him back on loan until he is 35 years old then Wenger can have him!

 

Courtois's bailing out tho to drid isnt he? Picks to Arsenal. The bloke needs to spend money to satisfy the Arsenal faithful and finally win something.
