Trafford

[Stevie2112]

Added to the England squad.

[Rileybobs]

Well done James. That will upset some of our ‘supporters’.

[Jakubs Tash]

It’ll increase his value…… let’s hope he gets on the pitch at some stage soon.

[taio]

Excellent news.

[beddie]

Gosh he’s going to be the “Centre” of attention on this board.

[Wokingclaret]

Thought Pope would be the next pick, maybe he's not available.

Any how Excellent news.

[fatboy47]

Good lad.

[boatshed bill]

A great opportunity for the lad; training with some of the county's top players can only be a good thing for him. May be a while before he gets game time though.

[Stonehouse]

No doubt some of the superstars will be telling him what sort of salary they’re on and he’ll be wanting away .

[BurnleyFC]

Well done James. That will upset some of our ‘supporters’.

If he gets a cap, it’ll also increase how much we have to pay for him.

[boatshed bill]

If his agent is any good he already knows.

[IanMcL]

Perhaps it is just to get more money for the broke Manchester City! Just tips the balance on their finances and ends 100+ other charges!

[RVclaret]

Well done Traff, been quietly (some games by default) going about some good work this season.

[randomclaret2]

I think the club website might have gone a bit early with this news...

[GetIntoEm]

Fantastic news. Well done James top keeper

[bfcmik]

Carsley still in charge and seems to be trying to give squad experience to as many u21s as he can.

Or it could be he was a successful under 21 player, next in line
Do you like any Burnley player?
Or anything about the club ?

His best mate is currently one of the best players in the world,who will know salaries.....hasn't had any impact...

Of course that will be the reason. Whether one thinks an U21 keeper is ahead of other hardened, experienced, professionals is another question. U21 managers seem to think they are.

My post was taking up this point made by BurnleyFC.

'If he gets a cap, it’ll also increase how much we have to pay for him'

Nothing at all to do with his elevation or whether he is great/rubbish at all.

It is an honour for the young lad and for Burnley FC. No question. I wish him well.

The rest of your post I will put down to the misunderstanding.

He’s mates with Dean Marney?

No misunderstanding, you just always seem so negative

I'll go with Palmer, but appreciate your humour.

[Stonehouse]

Nori sorry Row x starting an argument in a phone box again.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Will be good experience for him, being in the senior camp

It was always viewed that way when Pope was younger

Also shows that his form has been noticed

[Rileybobs]

I wonder if Vigouroux knocked Carsley back?

[CoolClaret]

Congrats JT.

[Rowls]

Congratulations!

[TheFamilyCat]

Carlton?

[She]

Well deserved can see Trafford becoming England's No1 and winning many many caps well done James.

Carlton?

I bet you think you're really funny........you're not

A Burnley fan degrading what a Burnley player has done, feel proud, feel really proud.

You've misjudged the post

Nori sorry Row x starting an argument in a phone box again.

I've forgotten so many of your previous names to reply, I could look them up, but the use of commas usually gives it away

Really?

Disregard my previous post. I remember you as Westleigh, now why did you get banned?

I can't see that whoever nori is has posted since you joined this board, so why the anger?

Lost me their mate.

[Tribesmen]

I see he has been called up for England

[Cooclaret]

Said this last year and was shouted at quite loudly.

He’s always been the long term plan for England.

You do realise it's nothing to do with us, actually. He's playing in the Championship. Those not playing in the Premier League never get call-ups. It's because he played for U21s under LC. They need someone they know to be in goal during training. That's as deep as it goes.

[dvalley69]

He'll never make it as our number 1. Still not confident enough in his 6-yard area and with corners. Pretty crap with his feet. Makes decent saves and has good positioning, but never a dominant, imposing, international keeper. I hope I'm proved wrong.

The way things are going, if there was going to be any £100 million player - he looks the most likely.

He is still one of 3 though!

[Stonehouse]

He’s definitely improved this season but is slowness in releasing the ball is his major fault.

[hoosier-daddy]

Agree with you there.

Reminds me of the keeper at Leeds he struggled at first and got bullied a lot on crosses but he's has improved into a fine keeper just like Trafford will.

[dvalley69]

Can't be compared . the quality of the 2 leagues is chalk & cheese. He's had hardly anything to do this season, in all honesty.

[NewClaret]

Completely agree with dvalley69.

He wasn’t as bad as was made out on here last season for a young GK and given what was in front of him. Likewise not had anything to do this season so his clean sheets are more a reflection of what’s in front of him also.

If we go up and he starts conceding again he also won’t have regressed - it’s just the quality he’s facing.

He’s a young keeper learning his trade that needs support.

Agree about the need to speed up and improve his distribution but that will come if this new Keeper coach is any good and being in the full England set-up can’t hurt either.

From our side probably adds a fair amount to the final fee!

[bfcjg]

He is certainly more confident in the goal area this season. Superb called up at his age.

He’s done a bit better coming for crosses, has also flapped at a few that led to chances better teams would’ve punished. Thankfully for us and him they didn’t and they get forgotten about when nothing comes of them.

He got hung out to dry by Kompany in my opinion. This level was the next best one for his progression and now he’s showing his quality. A full season where every tiny mistake isn’t brutally capitalised on, with a solid defence in front of him, will do him the world of good and showcase his potential to everyone.
