Should've been in and around it this season. In our predicament signing Mike was the worst decision Moyes has made (for me). Just don't see why you would waste any funds at all on a third choice keeper. It's extremely rare clubs ever need to use them.
Moyes has got it sorted already , Sam Jonstone from Man U reserves , been on loan at Aston Villa ,I think.

As much chance of him rocking up at South Shields next season.
The Championship is a bigger league than most of the top divisions in Europe FFS.

Not saying i think he'll end up at Leipzig, but that is a ridiculous comment. They're loaded, and pushing for a Champions League spot. This sentiment that English football is the be-all and end-all is embarrassing.

Are you denying that the Championship is a more popular league than most of the top divisions of European countries?
Are you claiming he would not be pushing himself into an international wilderness (like Defoe did by going to Canada) by disappearing to central Europe for a paycheck?
At least Forster went to a substandard European top division for tinware and GUARANTEED Champions League games, knowing he could get bought back into the PL easily...you are actually admitting this club has enough money to make that move back more difficult if he manages to put out a string of stellar CL performances!
'This sentiment that English football is the be-all and end-all is embarrassing'...well I don't really think in terms of 'English' football when I'm watching it TBH, and I don't equate the quality of games with the money that teams within that division has to spend either...BUT...I find it bizarre (I won't say embarrassing) how unaware football supporters in England are of how England's 2nd tier division lines up against European football divisions as a whole. On top of that, you would hope someone is telling the lad that he is killing his short term England chances because the England manager has always been lazy.

Exactly if the skunks can get £30m for that knacker Siserker then we should be doing the same for our better players especially Pickford as I'd imagine his wages wouldn't be high so we really don't need to sell.

Daft enough?
You are aware they play in the Bundesliga right? The German league is equally as competitve as the prem. You are making out like he would be choosing to play in the Bulgarian national leagues ffs. It would do him good to move abroad, no mixed loyalties as the lad is clearly a huge Sunderland fan. The Germans appreciate a good keeper, he would probably be a big hit.
Did Owen Hargreaves international career no harm.

You do know Leipzig is in Germany. And they play in the top division? With teams like Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke, Leverkusen, Monchengladbach etc... if so, do you think the Championship is bigger than that division? If playing in that league leads to the International wilderness, it's amazing countries stumbled across players like Lewandowski, de Bruyne, Calhanoglu, Aubameyang etc...
Oliver Khan won German footballer of the year in 2000 and 2001. Neuer won it in 2011 and 2014 - The Germans love there goalkeepers, really appreciate them and they are often the best in the world. Why wouldnt Pickford want to play there?
When was the last time a goalkeeper won player of the year here?

Hasn't there been word that both he and Borini will be away according to Di Fanti ( might have heard it on here or at a game). Assuming he is agent to both.
I reckons he thinks it's Austria (confused with Salzburg) and has made a monumental tit out of himself
