They do, mate.
Muric, Cabellero, Mingolet, Vorm, Gazzaniga, Cech/Leno are all very, very good 2nd choice keepers.
This. What's the point of having someone who is supposed to be talented and then don't give them a chance to get near the 1st team. He better be going on loan somewhere to either prove he is good enough or increase value so he can be sold if we get Jonas. Else it is a waste of wages.
Good, bad or indifferent I’ll guarantee he won’t make a bigger cock up than Pickford’s at Anfield.You won’t be saying that when he lets one through his legs in the league cup 3rd round and we get dumped out again....
I understand what you are saying and your backing of Virginia, but I think the young lad is very well regarded by Silva and Brands and his career will not suffer under them, he will be well looked after by them and I will support whatever they decide for him.This.

Not particularly bothered by this one way or another.
Moyes had a revolving door of second choice goalkeepers whilst he had a clear and established number one in Tim Howard.
Brands and Silva will have weighed it up and likely feel that a year out on loan, playing regularly will benefit Virgina more than sitting on the bench behind Pickford. Stekelenburg has one more season on his contract too to be third choice until he comes back.
They like working with three keepers in the first team squad and Lossl is free and has been playing in the Premier League for two years. What better quality keeper are we going to be able to bring in to understudy for Pickford? Not even all of the Sky 6 sides have two top keepers.
Genuinely, Mignolet is appalling. He's Claudio Bravo bad when it comes to actually stopping the ball going in the net.
Gazzaniga, every time I've seen him, whether for Spurs or Southampton, is so so bad.
Vorm I've always rated actually. Cabby agreed is a good second choice.
But generally speaking, number 2s in the PL ate nowhere near the level of the number 1 because there's very little rotation.
Other than Cech/Leno, none of them are top keepers though are they? Don't get me wrong, they're probably all better than Lossl but the point is that they haven't got a second choice who's anywhere near as good as their first choice. I don't think we're likely to attract a keeper of Pickford's level to play understudy to him.
I mean they are all average and the only good back up keeper from the top 6 ( romero from united ) you missed out

They are all utterly godawful though mate.
I agree with all of you.
Mingolet or all the banter, isn't absolutely atrocious at all. All of those listed are superb back up goalkeepers and arguably could be No 1 for a number of decent clubs across Europe.
The point I'm trying to make is, we need better competition for Pickford. A bang average goalie isn't going to challenge Pickford and allow him to become a better player.
