2025/26 Jordan Pickford

[Saint Domingo]

Funny timing, with the contrived 'big club' debate filling a slow news week.

Objectively speaking, I'm surprised he's never fancied a crack at a club that competes, but he's not your typical footballer and Everton isn't your typical club.

I hope he finishes his career here.

Feel like he’d be eaten alive at any of City United Chelsea Arsenal etc. the media already have the knives out for him here but if he moved to one of those and made any kind of error it would be the end of his England career which I think he probably values above anything else.

Look at what’s happened to Ramsdale Martinez Onana Kepa Caballero Bravo even Trafford now. Put in a team and spat back out quicker than anything. It’s only really Martinez who went and rebuilt himself at Villa playing regularly. Ironically Trafford might have been better staying at Burnley.

I don’t know what it is about him but as soon as he’s joined the media have always treated him differently to the likes of Ramsdale Pope Butland Henderson who have all had their abilities massively inflated at times. Even absolute error machines like David James, Rob Hreen and Joe Hart get favourable coverage despite sending England out of tournaments. You see some of the errors Sanchez makes or Vicario or Bayandir. If Pickford was making these he’d get massacred.

It’s the best thing he’s ever done not moving to a sky six club, the media would be on him like a pack of wolves. I’ve never known a player perform so well for club and country yet continuously have this underlying current in the media that he’s not good enough and needs to be replaced by….checks notes….erm Nick Pope.

I think it’s a great move for us and a good move for him. He’s been able to show his talent here and cement himself as England no.1. I think we’ve been good for his career and maybe he recognises that

 

[Tommy Chong]

Ours for another four years!

I guess this means he’ll be with us until he retires.
Hopefully we can win a pot before he hangs up his gloves for good.
At the very least, he deserves that.

It's great having players who want to be here isn't it?

 

[n01efc]

Brilliant, a real asset to the club

 

[BenToffee79]

God forgive me for saying this but I could gladly punch his face all day.

If you got tired there’d be a queue 10 miles long to take over

 

[matty1878]

i love him you know. he’s had his faults what player doesn’t? he’s matured and got better. he loves us and that’s loyalty

he’s easily had offers in the past to go
and has chosen to stay

JP i love you x

Not enough is made of him signing his previous contract when we were on our arse in the bottom 3 too. With no release clause.

What a fella.

Boss news that, best keeper in the Prem imo and he’s ours for 4 more years

 

[toffeemeister77]

Great player that rescued us in our moment of need.

Well deserved Jordan

I get why people talk about Coleman as a really important player in the last ten years, but for me it’s Pickford who is the one. He’s saved us.

We’ve been spoilt.

I think people look at this from the wrong angle. Yes, most players today have no loyalty to anyone or anything, but they can't ALL be emotionless machines hell-bent on "success". Or maybe their definition of success is more nuanced than people imagine.

Pickford said Everton is special to him because it's an absolutely mahoosive club where he became a man.

Read that again. The truth is hiding in plain sight. He became a man at Everton.

This lad is way smarter than 1) he looks 2) he's ever given credit for.
