2024/25 Jordan Pickford

[HalfTimeSayers]

We let him be a massive Sunderland fan with no flak whilst being our most important player. And we saw him through his “eccentric” growth years with no aggro. And he’s utterly mad. Perfect match. Am sure he wants to achieve everything he can, but he doesn’t seem to crave celebrity. He fulfilled his dream so young playing for the club he loves, and everything else is a bonus, rather than immediately switching to “I need CL football.”

The lack of credit he gets must be an in joke for all the pundits at this point. Arguably done us and him a huge favour as the MSM have never really gone on the full assault to get him to United/Chelsea etc.

Such a massive massive boost every summer when there is zero hint of him leaving and we know that’s a huge hole we don’t need to fill. Great for our managers too.

We are very lucky that this guy appears to be content with us and hasn't apparently agitated for a move.
Most players of his quality would want CL and big wages.
He has been immense for us in very difficult times.

It's clear to see your fans love him the way he obviously loves you, i think he appreciates what he got from your club. We were gutted when he left us but he needed to move onto bigger things, seems to be repaying what you did for him. Can't see him ever leaving you to be honest other than maybe back to us at the end of his career.

I've got a feeling Pickford may just be a surprise sale to someone like a Bayern Munich.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

He's one player I got massively wrong, I didn't think he'd have to he career with us he has had but he has been honestly top top class, and one of the biggest reasons we are still in the league.

One of our best ever buys, hope he stays with us until he retires ( or finishes up at Sunderland) and we can get him in Europe with us as he deserves that.

Best keeper since southall without a doubt.

I’d be very surprised. Gives the impression that he and his family are very settled here

Please shush Charlie, no need to discuss other clubs when talking about Pickford. We don't want to sell one of our best players who's happy here.
Thank you.

Can't see him ever leaving now, he is 32 next season and no one is going to pay the big money needed to get him. If he wanted to leave he would of gone by now

He is going to be insanely difficult to replace in a few years.

Tuchel suggesting England keeper needs to be playing in Europe... Could see Pickford leave next season if he isn't no1 anymore

Will be gone this year if tuchel has his way.

Think a lot of that is posturing really. He's still miles ahead of every other keeper despite Henderson potentially playing in Europe next season.

I reckon Pickford only has two tournaments left in him, maybe even only one. Think he's nailed on for the World Cup so it's only the Euros it would be a worry but hopefully we will be back in Europe by then anyway.

Tuchel will not be England manager after the World Cup.

It sounds like he's not number 1 in the next game if he stays
