This is why I get so irritated by Twitter. How are we 'ready to submit a bid' for a player when we submitted multiple bids since January?!
That wasn't the 36 I assume and there's other clubs bidding. They're not just buying tins of soup in tesco.
Across the last 2 seasons Dubz has managed 39 league games - so half of the games. Quality back up is a must in all positions if you are going to challenge but especially in net and in Pope and Dubravka we have that! Great signing for £10m.
Pope, Botman, Etikite, Paqueta, Targett. Imagine that 12 months ago. Honestly try.... you'll laugh out loud!
All Pope jokes aside, I do think he's a better shot stopper than Dubravka, whom I've really become confident in, so would welcome the signing. Distribution wise, he won't be Hoddle'esque, but maybe that will come in the future.
