Polarboy 2317 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I've never minded Hope, he usually doesn't post nonsense, and his fight with bacon tits was amusing, for a while at least, he still seems to want to keep it going, but the second part of that is fucking nonsense. He thinks that Howe and Ashworth need reminding about Wilson's injury record, so it refocuses who they're trying to buy? What a load of shite. The aforementioned don't need Hope's advice on who they want to buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I can't be arsed listening to it, but as you see above Hope reckons he's been misquoted and or taken out of context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1296 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My feeling is Maddison wants the move so we think we'll get it done cheaper than we would if he wasn't arsed. If it was for a new contract the hot air would have happened near the start of the window. Seems like Leicester's stagnation has presented an unexpected opportunity for us.

Howay 12496 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 It’s ok lads, if we do miss out on Maddison he’s only a slight upgrade on a player he is absolutely fucking nothing like that we have already . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinRobin 12389 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 10 hours ago, Alex said: Sign Bruno’s mate instead That's my view. Perhaps not Premier League ready but a regular Brazilian international, got connections here which will help him settle, and plays in the same position as Maddison. I could understand not pursuing him if we weren't after a number 10, which seems to be more Howe's way of playing, but it seems odd if we are after Maddison who plays in that position. Of course, making life difficult for another team is fine, but it could save a considerable amount of money which could be put to other players. However, I am sure they know what they are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be after a 'keeper, but I'm not sure if their valuation of Maddison is £60m they'd accept £40m + Dubravka. They could definitely get a good 'keeper for <£20m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco 867 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) It will make a big difference if Maddison & his agent are agitating for a move......at the end of the day if a player wants to go you may as well sell him Edited August 3, 2022 by Rosco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 22617 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The whole thing about Pope being a poor distributer IMO hasn't been that evident on the small number of pre-season games I have watched. I have been very impressed with him. He was a decent keeper at Burnley and I only think he will improve with us. We got him for peanuts too.

Definitely an 'emperor's new clothes' moment where one person has said he's distribution is shit and the masses, with some sort of unstable affinity towards Dubravka, seem to have followed like sheep. From what I've seen, his distribution is excellent as is his sweeping ability, which is something that has always terrified me with Dubravka. Too many are peddling the line 'Burnley got relegated so he must be shit' too. Only Man City (26), Liverpool (26), Chelsea (33), Spurs (40), Wolves (43), Brighton (44), Crystal Palace (46), Arsenal (48) & West Ham (51) conceded less goals than Burnley (53). By contrast, we conceded 62. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By contrast, we conceded 62. i think the chat about pope's distribution mainly comes from him playing at burnley where he would have been instructed to go long/direct quite often. that doesn't mean he isn't capable of playing out from the back. he just hasn't played for a manager who wants his keepers to play that way most of the time.

strawb 4615 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Preface this by saying I like both goalkeepers. Burnley conceded less than a lot of teams because of how Dyche had them set up to play as much as it was down to Pope. More goals conceded doesn’t equal worse goalkeeper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm merely using the metric to discredit the gammons on Twitter who apply the line of 'only shit players get relegated'. The irony is the majority of those would probably have supported Wijnaldum coming back here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
