Paddock Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Not sure on this, he is still very young and is playing out his skin at the minute but I'd be wary of spending big bucks on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Please don't remind me about butland.£2.5 mill what a joke. This Pickford would be a big fee 12-15 mill I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Many lads I know who follow North End rate him very highly and really wanted to try and tie him down after his loan spell Looks a very good long term option as said it has Butland written all over it imo, lifelong Sunderland fan from what I've read but hopefully he has the sense to jump a sinking ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Was hoping wed be in for him (I posted not long ago on rumours without a link) he looks fantastic in a poor team and prevents so many goals. He's only a nipper too. Would take him but maybe rather in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 His decision making has been awful today so far. He looks a decent keeper but has a lot to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 His decision making has been awful today so far. He looks a decent keeper but has a lot to learn. He is still a young lad so it is to be expected. IMO he looks better than Butland did at this stage of his career. I would say though that it is easier being a keeper at a club at the bottom of the table as you have more chances to impress but I think he would still be worth the risk based on what I have seen of him.

Romey 1878 Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 He's doing well to look so good with that awful defence in front of him. We did well to not get Kone; he's shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 His footwork was poor for the second Giroud goal, didn't get it right at all. Kone was horrendous, I think we've dodged a bullet there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Lets get him signed in January. He is keeping Liverpool out almost on his own at the moment and is commanding his back four very well indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Can't see Sunderland selling till end of season, he is their best chance of staying up, if he went in January the owners wouldn't be seen in Sunderland again for fear of their lives.

Finn balor Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I don't think the owners are putting any money in so to sell him for £20 mill could get him the players he needs to keep them up. I could see the shite being in for him but I'd make him a priority signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I think they're going to have to sell, parachute payments aren't going to keep them safe at this rate because they'll just freefall if they go down. Better in January when they can charge a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) We already have a talented young keeper. His name is Robles. Koeman made a huge mistake in signing an aging Dutchman, but I don't see him admitting a mistake. (Sorry for the negative tone, but we should be making better use of the assets we have, not spending a fortune in a position where we already have talent waiting in the wings. Spend where the need is much greater.) Edited November 26, 2016 by Cornish Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Robles isn't good enough, we need a top keeper and if we get the chance to bring this lad in we should jump at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 To be fair to Joel, in the last 3 seasons he's played 21 games and conceded 27 goals ( and we go on about how shit out defence has been ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sorry for the negative tone, but we should be making better use of the assets we have, not spending a fortune in a position where we already have talent waiting in the wings. Spend where the need is much greater.) Robles has proven time and time again he isn't good enough. He's an ok back up but nowhere near the top quality keeper we desperately need. Still not sold on Pickford. Granted he's having the season of his life so far but wouldn't be keen shelling top dollar for him he's nowhere near proven enough for that kind of transfer fee imo.

EFC-Paul Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Forster Butland or Pickford would all be good buys tbh The main reason I prefer Pickford is he's slightly younger than Butland who will always have a serious injury hanging over his head and although Forster who I rate isn't exactly old for a keeper he's nigh on 30 and would likely cost a similar amount Younger more room for developing and has played very well in a piss poor side and looks very sturdy in comparison to Forster who like Hart is prone to bad costly clangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 i believe you do I think that boils down to your defence of Joel, do you genuinely think that Pickford Butland or Forster are not improvements over Joel and Stek!? Do or have you regularly watched any of the players over the years you've suggested or championed that would clearly improve our side? That's crazy logic to me tbh mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
