Ahead of someone like Pickford? I think we've actually got lots of very good keepers just no-one outstanding. Butland/Pickford/Best Burnley Keeper fit would be my 3.
Fair play to the opposition keeper whose first reaction was to go over and shake the lad by the hand. Mark of a man that is.
We should get decent money for him now. I just hope Rafa doesn't make the same mistake all over again. If he keeps him and then doesn't play him and alter the plan to get the best out of him, he is hurting the team, club and the player in question. Either keep him and play him, or use his inflated value to get good money to use on a player he is happy to play. We cocked up in the summer but it has worked out in that Mitrovic has forced his way out, excelled and raised his value. Rafa has got lucky in a lot of ways so he needs to take advantage of it one way or the other.
Spot on, he's forcing Rafa's hand which can only be good for us regardless of outcome. Had he not done the biz at Fulham and picked up endless bookings and sendings off we'd be having a different discussion but thankfully he is now showing what he's capable of.
Guivarc’h https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stéphane_Guivarc'h One goal in 14. Hardly the same as Mitro.
