Superblue 6,372 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 4 minutes ago, Pizy said: Once I typed in "Nick Pope 2020" I found some. He looks pretty damned impressive I must say. Makes a lot of saves with his legs like DDG which is pretty unusual. Looks more impressive than Mendy for me but I wonder what kind of price Burnley would ask. If he's even possible. I think if we made a move, what would go for us is I would expect him to be desperate to make the move and might even try to force Burnley's hand. He has a real huge chance of being England number one in time for the Euros given how bad Pickford has been for the last couple of years and Henderson will likely at least start the season second fiddle to De Gea. bigbluewillie and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all his faults at club level he does tend to actually play quite well for England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Nick pope would be a great keeper to get. But he's gonna be mega expensive.Close to the season startingEnglishWe want him Gonna be a large fee with less sell on value if we sold him in 5 years when he's 33 but the fee could be worth it having that position locked in for years to come bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Yet, Pickford leave them both on the bench yesterday... Yeah everyone knows he's by far the 3rd best option of the 3... Apart from Southgate it seems. Pope or Henderson are easily the best 2 and there's a big gap to Pickford. If pope played for us he'd be England no. 1 as he's better than Pickford and henderson is gonna be stuck behind de gea for a season. So he may want to come but Burnley have no reason to sell him.

IIRC, Southgate talked about picking players on merit early in his reign but has become just like any other manager in picking his favorites regardless of form etc. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Jase 43,479 Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted September 7, 2020 According to Simon Johnson on the latest Chelsea podcast on The Athletic, the club still plan to buy 2 more players - a new keeper and new defensive midfielder. The club also want to offload the deadwoods from the rather large squad. bigbluewillie, kellzfresh, mkh and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alabama 1,992 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Why ain't we after Dennis Zakaria or Florentino to be understudy of Kante roles since we going to be playing 433 with Kante and two roaming 8s...

Milan 17,956 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I remember reading reports that Lampard wanted Henderson but Man United refused to sell to us. And then he signed a new contract with them. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,903 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 If we wanted to make a serious push for the PL title and CL this season and are indeed after another deep sitting midfielder (which I can't see) then we should be doing everything we can to steal Thiago Alcantara before he goes to Liverpool. He's 29 years old but his game isn't reliant on pace or athleticism at all and I can easily see him playing elite football for another 3-4 years. World class player available for €30m. Will sadly never happen unless we sold Jorginho, though. I'd fancy us against anyone with him in our team controlling the midfield.
