Isegrim 4663 Posted Tuesday at 20:37 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 20:37 2 hours ago, Alex said: Improves the squad and, arguably at least, the first team for not much outlay. It’s a no-brainer really. I do not disagree. I was hoping we wouldn’t just go for a decent shot stopper but one with a better football brain, like Leno. The transfer does still make a lot of sense though and Rome wasn’t built in one day… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 3049 Posted Wednesday at 17:08 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 17:08 Yeah I think this is a far better outcome than Henderson so I'm pleased to see it. Not sure this is as key a position to cover as the club seem to have decided, but more depth is never a bad thing, and this is quality depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 5558 Posted Wednesday at 18:20 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 18:20 One thing re the criticism of Pope and him playing out from the back. Maybe he was just told to play Dyche ball? I.e just launch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think the 'keeper was a priority position, but then it shows I know fuck all because we were much better as a team when we brought him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 8567 Posted Thursday at 10:40 Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:40 I think he starts over Dubravka tbh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 7479 Posted Thursday at 10:41 Author Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:41 Aye, I think he’s a better keeper and could potentially have 3/4 seasons as the number one if he shows he’s up to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 8567 Posted Thursday at 10:54 Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:54 Aye. Dubravka is Hollywood at times and prone to awful errors at others. Some consistency can't hurt. Plus Pope behind a decent defence will see a much calmer keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 61 Posted Thursday at 12:02 Report Share Posted Thursday at 12:02 I suspect he has been promised he'll start as No 1. Otherwise it would be a big gamble with the World Cup coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way one of England's 3 regular selected goalkeepers is going to join a new club without assurances that he'll be first choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 199 Posted Thursday at 16:33 Report Share Posted Thursday at 16:33 I reckon he won't , not immediately anyway - from my perspective, Howe has always made people fight their way into the team , if the previous first choice is fit. Look at how long he took to be "kind to Lascelles" and Longstaff playing over Bruno etc. I'm absolutely delighted that my wet dream of bringing in fringe and established England players is coming true, we've definitely asked after a few now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about Howe wanting players to play their way into the team, but that was during a season. With a clean slate and a blank league table he can pick whatever team he likes for Game 1. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 1821 Posted Friday at 06:39 Report Share Posted Friday at 06:39 If anyone is interested the England social media team put training videos up and there are a few of Pope and the other goalkeepers.
