Nick Pope
Just heard he is off to Leeds now their promotion is confirmed.
I wonder who Newcastle will replace him with?

Re: Nick Pope
Trafford is reportedly already done but only last week they were linked with Ramsdale.
Trafford is still contracted so it’s up to us if he goes.

Re: Nick Pope
I wouldn't be surprised if there were other Premier League clubs also interested in James Trafford.
Unless Newcastle have already sewn up the signing

Re: Nick Pope
I've said since he signed the only place JT will end up is back at City

Re: Nick Pope
If he leaves I wouldn't want him at Newcastle. Would have to be city and maybe they could Loan us someone up and coming in return
Re: Nick Pope
Why would we agree to sell Trafford to Newcastle before we know what League we are in next season. Surely they’ll be more than Newcastle after him now, if we do sell him
Re: Nick Pope
He’s only going to one club, that’s always been the plan. Newcastle might accelerate that plan.
Re: Nick Pope
Depends on how much we want for him, if we want £50m and Newcastle are prepared to pay it city will activate the buy back and sell him on for £50m
Re: Nick Pope
Isn't the buy back over £40m?

Re: Nick Pope
I find the Newcastle link weird.
Pope’s deficiency is distribution/kicking. That isn’t Trafford’s main strength either

Can't help feeling we've missed a trick with Pope, if Trafford leaving is true.

Re: Nick Pope
When Traff goes, I’d go for Ramsdale if we could get him. Very good keeper.

We should be all over Pope if Trafford leaves.

Re: Nick Pope
He’s excellent at slowing the game down and passing it to his CBs or Cullen when pressed. Definitely better than Pope. But his longer distribution still needs work. Today was a good game to compare his distribution (high, long, into space) vs say CJ (low, driven, to feet).
This doesn’t take anything away from him or the success he’s had this season and hopefully the season he’ll have with us next season. I just don’t think his short passing ability is worth £40m over Nick Pope

It's my guess that as a club we will be looking at players' sell-on potential, this discounts the likes of nick PopeDark Cloud wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 9:21 pmCan't help feeling we've missed a trick with Pope, if Trafford leaving is true.

I think we’ll have Patterson in goal next season.

Re: Nick Pope
If Sheff Utd don't go up thru the play-off lottery, then their goalkeeper will be a great replacement for Trafford

The difference in price tag is not about the difference in distribution - it’s the difference in age and the difference in contract terms etc.
Pope has been a brilliant keeper and Trafford looks like he will become a brilliant keeper. He’s been in and around the England set up for years now and looks like he is the natural successor to Pickford now.
We have been very fortunate with keepers in the last 10 years. Hope whoever we get next can keep this up. Cooper at Sheffield United looks very good but I’d take Pope back in a heartbeat as not only he is still a very good keeper but we are going to need experience in the PL as well as quality.

Re: Nick Pope
Just to bring a note of levity into proceedings, got a funny WhatsApp this morning.
Just heard the pope has died. Who’s going to play in goal for Newcastle now?
