I would be if I had that back four in front of me!He looks pissed off at every moment in a match.

I dont think we should be looking past Mike Maignon.We should only be looking to get Raya
He seems more like the Dybala/Gvardiol/Bastoni top tier target that we would have as our primary choice but we wouldn’t be able to get him either due to financial reasons or he would be aiming higherI dont think we should be looking past Mike Maignon.
He always looks constipated…He looks pissed off at every moment in a match.
Agreed. He's likely to cost 3-4 times as much as Raya, due to his longer contract duration, the fact that he currently plays for a bigger club, and his greater exposure to the "world stage" (competes in the Champions League and has more international caps). He's also likely to have more "big" clubs in for him. Us getting knocked out by AC Milan in the CL this season will hardly have increased his desire to join us.He seems more like the Dybala/Gvardiol/Bastoni top tier target that we would have as our primary choice but we wouldn’t be able to get him either due to financial reasons or he would be aiming higher
Raya has holes in his game too. Dont think hes better than pickford. Pickford is a talented goalkeeper think he just isnt a calming figure can make mistakes too.We should only be looking to get Raya
I think our defence needs a calming influence as much as a ball player.Raya has holes in his game too. Dont think hes better than pickford. Pickford is a talented goalkeeper think he just isnt a calming figure can make mistakes too.
Mind, I was set against this but he would suit Pochs way of playing were he to come back.
Ideally it would be neither.
There are a lot of options on the market and I just don't get it why our board has decided to strengthen this position only now. Miagnan was bought for €15.30m. I mean we are aiming at to be at least top 4 EPL team, but I doubt that our goalkeeper is in the top 10 among EPL's goalkeepers. It is the position where you can buy a top player for a reasonable money.Forget Pickford...
Overated imo
Mike Maignan from Milan far far better option, probably alot less money.
He has been amazing for Milan
Hugo was a top 10 goalkeeeper heading into this season. GK wasn’t a priority for anyone. We tried an understudy with Gollini and got it wrong (at least from a football perspective, was smart to structure as a loan with option). What we should’ve been focusing on was upgrades at CB.There are a lot of options on the market and I just don't get it why our board has decided to strengthen this position only now.

That is the issue. We just wait for the moment when someone's form fall off a cliff to start planning. We did not upgrade our backline and Lloris performance has been inconsistent probably for recent 18-15 months. Nobody needs a silly money to upgrade a GK slot. Anyway I cannot say that you don't have a reason. You do have.Hugo was a top 10 goalkeeeper heading into this season. GK wasn’t a priority for anyone.

Maybe not a top 10 GK this season but he is still the club captain, and probably performs better without Eric Dier in front of him.
No way is Maignan cheaper than PickfordForget Pickford...

Especially if Everton go down.No way is Maignan cheaper than Pickford
Agree that Maignan would defo cost more, but can still see Everton asking silly money for Pickford given he's the England keeper, is homegrown, and has 4 years left on his deal.No way is Maignan cheaper than Pickford
