I know its only pre season but he looked terrible here.. https://www.safc.com/news/team-news/2017/july/st-johnstone/highlights-st-johnstone-v-sunderland
Shocking performance for a professional journeyman keeper, still think we should (if we can) cash in and sign that Sam Johnston if he's still available.
I wouldn't mind if we let him go, in all honesty, we'd probably still get something for him - hopefully enough to replace him with someone better. Said it before, you realise just how good Pickford is when Manonne got back in the team, in all areas.
I think he's a good keeper, ok he's had a shocker there but I wouldn't want to sell a striker who made a few howlers in one game as long as he was scoring well in general. I wouldn't complain if we got decent money for him and got in some young talent but it's not a priority position for me. I know he suffers in comparison to Pickford but that's like saying we should sell Watmore because he's not as good as Hazard.
Good lad, and a good pro. Not good enough. Internationally marketable. Sell when a replacement has been purchased
You only get about 2m for mannone. The problem mannone has got is thick people compare him to Pickford. The lad is ok and that's it.
I blame him for the second awfull. The first he was forced to be a footballer because of one of the worst back passes I've seen in the long time and Vito ain't no footballer. I blame Khazri it was a stupid back pass. 3rd is exactly why O'Shea should have been given a picture of spitfire and sent on his way.
Age 29 and only at his 2nd permanent club. I wouldn't call that a Journeyman like. Harsh, irrelevant and false tag to hang on him. Like his mistakes aren't enough. Extra boot in there
Stryjek, the young one referred to, was featured on some PL young guns site as one to watch last week and he looks superb. I can't find the link sadly.
If he's off to Reading I'll thank him for the Poyet season where he was brilliant, especially those penalty saves at OT. Apart from that, not hugely disappointed.
