Pickford to Arsenal

[DeLonge]

Apparently they are giving us £20m and loaning him back for the season.

Sorry if SEB but couldn't see it anywhere

£20m poor deal if true.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Probably the best sort of deal we could hope for, decent money (though should be a lot more) and to still have him for a year.

£20m poor deal if true.

As good as he is, he is only a goalkeeper. They by and large go for a lot less than outfield players because they just aren't as valuable.

Would do well the get 20m and him back to be honest. Where would that put him in all time GK fees?

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Boycoutt any newspaper that used PICKFORD'S MOVING as a headline

 

[Digsys dinner]

Wouldn't be against it

2nd highest in history. Still mental to think that Buffon went for £33m 15 years ago.

 

[Cosmopolitan]

Surely we can't get him back though as its a domestic loan and we've hit the max?

Would be add ons when capped for England and they win the league (I know)

You need your f***ing head testing if you think we should sell for 20 million like, sorry.

Where does Stones stand in the all time expensive defenders? Probably near the top.

Anyone who wouldn't be against this has to ask themselves what they f***ing want from supporting SAFC.

We won't see another goalkeeping talent like Jordan playing for our club in our lifetime so why sell him ?

The £20m will only reduce the personal loss Ellis walks away with if he does sell up.

I know

Too many f***ing people playing football manager

Its not my money, I'd be gutted if he went

especially at that price

its 5 million less than f***ing Bolasie

Pickfords value can only be defined by how much someone is prepared to pay for him. He is the best young goalkeeper in the richest league in the world.

£20m is a drop in the ocean to the biggest clubs in this league and if they want him they will pay what is required and I can imagine an auction occurring here.

An Arsenal £20m bid will soon be followed by a City £25m bid.

The thing is, you actually get your money's worth with a decent keeper, as they usually play for longer too.

No one sets the rules. As someone said, Buffon went for £35m over 15 years ago. With the money flying around at the moment we should be asking for daft money. We signed Ndong for £16m.

Exactly. He could be there for the rest of his career.

Feeder club....
