BPF is Pope’s replacement- it’s well known - what’s the issue?
Pope isn’t going anywhere unless we pocket the best part of £100m

Re: Pope’s replacemt
I think it's reasonable to expect between 50-60 for him, with respect I'm not sure he is worth close to 100 million thoughSalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 11:03 pmBPF is Pope’s replacement- it’s well known - what’s the issue?

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Realistically speaking we should already be looking at a keeper seeing as we have lost Hart and Legzdins. I have mentioned Krul several times recently. Other options could be Etheridge, Butland, Foster, Ramsdale. How about Brice Samba at Forest? 26 and highly rated.
Re: Pope’s replacemt
I hope this is true, but if I were Pope and had a genuine desire to become England number 1, and a top 4 club playing Champions League football would be a huge pull for me, it is the only way he is going to oust Pickford from what I can see, he certainly won’t be number 1 playing for ‘little old Burnley.’SalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 11:03 pmBPF is Pope’s replacement- it’s well known - what’s the issue?

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Wouldn’t really object to that, but it would be a risk heading in to a new PL season with a GK with no PL experience. We’d need a back up at least.SalisburyClaret wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 11:03 pmBPF is Pope’s replacement- it’s well known - what’s the issue?

I agree we should be holding out for absolute top dollar for Pope. When you see what other clubs sell their dross for, we should be holding out for big money for a proven great keeper.
I think the best way for this team to “push on”, by which I mean become a more established top 6-10 team, would be to keep this tight knit squad together and supplement with one or two quality additions. Hoping the shorter window and quick turnaround increases our chances of that happening.
Re: Pope’s replacemt
Bloody hope not
Re: Pope’s replacemt
Sell Pope for 80 million if we are forced to
Bring in Aaron Ramsdale for 20 million
Or one of the two keepers from Brentford's David Raya or Fulham's Marek Rodak who don't win promotion via the playoffs

Re: Pope’s replacemt
"Why would that be a bad thing?"
Injury prone
Weakness at getting down to his left (see above)
Past it IMHO
His wage at Villa is 100k a week, will he drop 50% to come back.....NO
His age 34.....Would we pay Several million for him
Lack of games over the last three season, only played 43 out of a possible 144

Re: Pope’s replacemt
I think we have a good goalkeeper in BPF. Only issue is the lack of PL games.
I remember being nervous when Pope came on to make his debut (without much first team experience for us) and look how that turned out.
I also thought the crowd did an excellent job of backing Pope when he entered the pitch. Shame that isn't available to BPF when the season resumes.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
No idea on his wages, but his form didn’t suffer after he had the shoulder injury here. The same injury that Pope has had incidentally.
He doesn't have a weakness getting down to his left either.
Re: Pope’s replacemt
"He doesn't have a weakness getting down to his left either"
Lol are you joking, watch his games since injury, he goes down in instalments now

Lack of fan's could equal lack of pressure on him so could equally work like when the fan's got behind Pope.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Has the symmetry of Brian Clough when he signed a 27 year old goalkeeper from a relegated Stoke whose confidence was shot at and was once highly rated. His name? Peter Shilton.tiger76 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:26 pmButland's not a bad shout as it goes, he's only got a year on his contract, and if Stoke need to trim their wage bill he'll be one they'll be looking to possibly move on, and surely his confidence will be raised by a PL club coming in for him, plus he's only 27 which for a keeper is a spring chicken.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
If we get a lot of cash from Chelsea and Dyche deems BFP not good enough.
I wouldn't mind using a bit to get Romero from United.
He seems a little disgruntled playing back up now especially with Henderson looking to overtake him in the pecking order.
Get him in and some prem games played.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
We should keep Nick on the assumption he'll oust the terrible Pickford and be England's number 1 over the next season (and the Euros), pushing his value up even further.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
£50m plus and he is a goner. We need the money to strengthen the team. Atm £50m is just not something we can afford to turn down. There are plenty of adequate keepers around that would jump at the chance of PL football and to play behind our defense.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
I read a profile piece a while ago about Stoke and their England goalkeepers, Banks, Shilton and Butland ..... It was whilst Stoke were still in the EPL, there was a tale of an over zealous security-man blocking Gordon Banks from seeing Butland, ( not knowing who he was ). Butland had a very courteous quiet word with him, and told him that " Any time Mr Banks wants to talk to me, please let him straight through " ...Claret Toni wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:48 pmAgree - with the added benefit of several ex Stoke players at the club and recently left the club should be able to provide the all important character references. Just saying 'cos a few questionable characters at Stoke during their relegation, so it is said.
Only one tale, but seems like our " sort of chap " !!

The current Pope is a replacement. Nick Pope's replacement will have his work cut out.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
If all the rumours of our players leaving were true we'd lose half the bloody team and then Dyche would clear off in despair. After that it wouldn't matter who was in goal we'd be back in the Championship. Mcneil, Pope, Wood, Tarks and Mee have all been touted fairly recently, it never ends for a club like ours.
Seriously guys I have stopped even looking at reports connecting our players to other sides (including our beloved manager). If and when they happen we just take it on the chin and move on...no point discussing what hasn't happened in my opinion.

There is no way that Pope is leaving for Chelsea. The top 6 all want to play out of the back, and there are only a couple of keepers in the PL that can actually do that..... and Pope is not one of them, nor do I think he can become one of them.
He fits into our squad perfectly.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Have you watched us since the restart? Pope has been passing or throwing the ball out either to the full backs or into Westwood or Brownhill if they drop back into space. Going long may not always be his own choice, we are not really quick enough when being pressed from the front - either speed wise or in moving the ball around - to play that roll out from the back too often. Against teams who haven't got a big press up front, such as Norwich, Palace and Brighton we saw lots of throws and passes to Bardsley and Taylor/Pieters/McNielAshevilleNCClaret wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 2:27 pmThere is no way that Pope is leaving for Chelsea.

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Pope has been using the outlets to defenders more, but I was thinking that "playing out of the back" is basically utilizing the goal keeper as an extra outfield player, and frankly only Allison and Ederson seem capable of doing that. Arsenal tried it this year and was absolutely terrible...bfcmik wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 2:54 pmHave you watched us since the restart?

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Pope's well capable of receiving the ball in space and passing it to someone else in space. Not so good at receiving the ball under pressure and playing the inch-perfect pass a foot away from the approaching forward, perhaps; but how many teams want their goalkeeper to do that?AshevilleNCClaret wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 2:27 pmThere is no way that Pope is leaving for Chelsea.

Chelsea have just bombed their keeper due to him struggling using his hands, maybe they had got over the weird fad that a keeper being able to ping a ball 50 yards on a sixpence is more important than keeping it out the net.

Got you. I have to agree. It is something that those 2 goalkeepers are able to do - though the quality of players in front of them may have made it so much easier for them to do it!

We have young keepers who are worth trusting
Billy Mercer is the best keeper coach in the country and will be able to add any up and coming keepers to his splendid success record
Bailey PF is already an international but can still improve

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Absolutely no problem with speculation bud...I just can’t be bothered with it personally. The only argument I have against it (and this is not aimed at you bud) is when some people start talking as though a player has already left. It’s a kind of masochistic approach to football I think. You’ll see what I mean before the new season starts. Anyway welcome to the board my friend.
By the way the close season usually brings the best out of people on here, with some good (and bad) music threads and a few comic ones. Join in the fun (but have a thick skin).

Re: Pope’s replacemt
Much comment about Pope not being the best footballing goalkeeper, but I'd venture the view that Chelsea have a much more pressing need that Pope could help solve.
They are dire at dealing with the high ball and Pope is the best in the Prem, and possibly the world at that.
