It's hardly controversial to think he's a bit dodgy in lots of moments, even if he also makes some great and key saves.

I've honestly never felt super confident in him

He has improved, we’ve witnessed his relative early years and inconsistency, and now he’s in his prime.

There are a few better than him in the league. There are many more that are worse, some much worse.

I don’t think he is. Regardless, many others in the squad well below that standard.

We can improve across the board, keeper isn’t the place to start.

Agree, of all the players we should improve on, he is way down the list. For me, despite his very occasional errors (which all keepers have) he is our best player.

It was a poor goal, he should have been protecting that side. It’s frustrating because it’s so obvious, it’s a mental mistake.

Having said that, anyone who wants him sold at this point is completely off their rocker. He’s worth far more than we would get in return and has consistently been a top 5 keeper in the league.

A correct, sensible post.

I really do wonder when people say this if they realize that we would not have had to replace him by sticking a couple of bins in the net and calling it a day.

Not sure if you remember but we barely stayed up for about 3 seasons so if our replacement goalie even left us a few points worse off, we'd have been toast. and I think our non-bins replacement would have.

How much did United pay for that clown show they have?

60m might have been a stretch, but not impossible, IMO.

Goat I never asked how good other goalkeepers were I asked which clubs had made an offer for Pickford, genuine bids not paper talk, I don’t think there have been any, in todays market I think we would be lucky to get the money back we paid for him.

There’s this incredible concept of opportunity cost though that we’d also maybe have to consider.

If we put him up for sale at 30m tomorrow, he would be sold within an hour.

Same as i thought. Dont think we would have a problem at all getting our money back. should be that and a lot more if anything. He is an outstanding keeper, no matter what some get into their heads. Like most he can do better on things. But no keeper is perfect. Martínez, Pope and so many more some on here have raved about have made huge errors
