Before we were linked with Pope, was he any good? Or just another slightly better than average goalkeeper?
 
Pope is qualitee. Don't get me wrong, I'd have Oblak any day, but Pope is ridiculously better than what we have. He'd be like an Andy Robertson signing in nets.

You know me...I dont want us to spend more than 2 quid on a goalie but at 18M...why is he so cheap especially as he is international class ? Has he got bad knee or hand or something we will discover in the medical ?

He's cheap because he's been toddling along, loan after loan until he got his chance with Burnley. He has a better shot to save ratio than any keeper in the PL bar De Gea. He's better than De Gea in high claims in the box. Yes, no doubt he's been blessed sitting behind a defensive team, but he's still got terrific attributes for a keeper. I'd have him ahead of Allison.
 
I'm very tempted to set up a campsite on this one. It might be lonely, but at least that means I'd get in lots of wanking time.
 
I'm guessing Pope faced at least twice the number of shots on target as our pair of ... keepers and conceded about the same number of goals? Anyone with stat's at their fingertips?
 
I'd stay well away from Pope. For the time being at least. One season in the top flight in his career at, what, 26? Wouldn't have even got a game if Heaton weren't injured, so he can't have been that highly-rated. When he did play, it was behind an organised Burnley side that gave away very few opportunities. Nah, all the ingredients for disaster for me.

As for the Karius/Leno debate, it's OBVIOUS that Leno can't be worse than Karius since Karius is a lettuce-wristed scoper.
 
OK. It's time.


Having said all of that, just watched the first 5 minutes of this and it's impressive. You'd only need 30 seconds to show the truly great saves Karius has made over the past 2 years with us, I'm only halfway through this video and he's already streets ahead of Loris. Not hard, like.
 
Its certainly better than the eyewatering abortion I woke up to this morning, if for no other reason than it has less fucking words I have to look at.

He is probably better than what we got, but to fill up a camp I guess cannabis, Lots of prozzies and a fair share of the bands touring Europe this summer is required as well....

If we stay away for the time being and he has another stellar season how much will he be then? And Burnley conceded plenty of opportunities. Zero errors leading to a goal. Think about that dreamy stat.

You haven't been to one of our player campsites Insig, have you? It's burnt sausages and latrine ditches. Oh, it starts off with beer, drugs, music, and jollity. But it ends with scavenging parties raiding bins for picnic leftovers. That's what I'm signing up for.
 
Probably the worst thread title in history.

And we have Redninja

Mystic is just discretly telling us he likes pretty boys. I think.

Yup, I did actually presume this was a red ninja thread.

Poor form.

Let's just make one thing clear, I posted this in the summer transfer links thread, a mod then split it out into a new thread and came up with these god awful titles.

Basically, I've been framed.

I was hanging in the Keita camp but I was probably to stone to remember any of that shit.... however a Pope camp could get usin trouble with fractions of the society thinking we had Saville sort of fun. Careful planning is needed!!
