The features editor did not happen after us working on and will go elsewhere - Shame but very difficult and would have been a coup

Problem is Everton would probably ask 100m for Pickford.
Not sure where we could go for a replacement. Oblak would be same kind of fee.
I liked Cho Hyun-woo at the World Cup, but big risk.

Pickford kicked out of touch so many times in the world cup!

He has told his pals about it. Well that's that then.

lip reading Pickford's sprays was a WC highlight for me

Agree, but who would we replace him with at this late stage?

I find this really interesting.
I love Hugo. He's an outstanding goalkeeper but I really, really struggle with the idea that he's not somehow upgradeable. We've seen with Ederson what having a goalkeeper with fabulous distribution can add to a side. There were times when Man City were playing with 11 outfield players last season - he was that good. So to look at Hugo, outstanding shot-stopper but a guy whose kicking is really not very good, and say you wouldn't swap him for anyone is very curious to me.

Is this myth still getting peddled?
Ederson dropped some major bollocks last season too.
But to reiterate, there is no one that we could afford who would upgrade a world cup winning goalkeeper.

It's not a myth. Hugo frequently kicks it head-height to a full back, and frequently misses.

No he doesn't. He's fine.

This is the best I can do, but using this: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/25604/Show/Hugo-Lloris and this: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/121774/Show/Ederson Ederson's pass percentage rate is 10% higher than Lloris'. In the World Cup, his pass completion rate was under 60%.
Happy to accept a difference of opinions but those sort of stats feel similar to what I see when I watch him play.

Would reject an offer of course, but as a side note Navas is an excellent Gk.
Its pretty ridiculous RM are looking for a Gk. But they have to have their superstars. Like it or not if courtois doesn't go there, Lloris will probably be 2nd choice.

They should be balls-deep for De Gea
