Pickford to Newcastle

[Shangri La]

Aye, and even if De Gea goes to Madrid, Pickford isn't good enough to start for Mourinho's Man Utd, or to replace Cech at Arsenal. Man City and Liverpool might want to upgrade on their 'keepers, but Pickford isn't an upgrade.

At best Pickford is a bench warmer at those clubs.

I agree. I do rate Pickford but he's not good enough to start for a big team yet.

I think he'll go to Everton or West Ham

Pickford is good enough for Arsenal and Liverpool. No doubt about that in my mind. Cech has had a ropey season, Mignolet is performing very well at the minute but it's no secret that Klopp wants change there. Not sure they'll be keen on spending on a goalkeeper though after Karius (sp).

Don't understand the Hart comparison either. Pickford's ability on the ball and his distribution makes Hart look like a pub player. If that's what Pep wants then he will be very keen on JP.

He'll be on all of their radars. Everton seems more realistic though.

Objectively, he isn't (yet). He's looked class this season because he's had a lot of work to do, but done it well;

Pickford's highly rated by Sunderland fans and justifiably so, but he's not yet at the level to play for one of the big boys, week in-week out. Cech is one of the best 'keepers to ever play in the Premier League and while his star is falling, he's still much better than Pickford. Mignolet and Karius are average-to-good Premier League 'keeepers, but so is Pickford at the minute. If Liverpool are going to sign a 'keeper it'll be one that's a lot better than their current pair, not one who's roughly as good with the potential to be better. They need a top class 'keeper now, not in 3 or 4 years time.

He'll be on their lists, definitely, but he won't be top of it for any of the big boys.

I agree. I do rate Pickford but he's not good enough to start for a big team yet.

I think he'll go to Everton or West Ham

Everton or West Ham would be a good shout, Robles is shit and both Randolph and Adrian have looked unreliable all season. He's likely to start a lot, it'll be a better standard of teammate and coaching to push his progression but the focus on him will lessen.

No chance the mags will spend that on a keeper imo. They've got about 6 as it is. Whenever I've seen them they've got more pressing needs

Over rated, keep him.
