Confirmed Signing Joao Virginia

[Joey66]

Or he does well?

If he plays against a low end side and messes up it should hit his confidence more.

If he can catch the ball on crosses play him - or not punch a shot back to an opposing player - Play him.....

He is a professional footballer so at some stage he has to play first team football why not play him ? Pickford needs to realise he needs us more than we need him.
If Pickford throws his dummy out let him go there wont be a big queue to take him.

Clueless idea to drop an experienced if unpredictable England No1 for a total unknown who may be cack anyway. Oh he is Portuguese so he must be good? Not yet anyway.

You are Marco Silva.

Your job is under threat, the fans would love to claim a scalp.

Do you :

a) Pick a young 19 year old Keeper without a single First team game in his entire life
or
b) An experienced Keeper with countless games under his belt having saved a penalty in a World Cup a few months previously but has cost you countless amount of points

*fixed

And option A

B

Pickford should be benched for his behaviour in that Toon game if nothing else, his form warrants dropping but is it fair to ask this lad to step in given how toxic it can get.

Gordon West was a England capped player one bad game dropped for the reserve keeper......
We are getting back to the Timmy days here cost us a game he then got selected ......
It cost the manager his job imo......when the stand in keeper Robles kept clean sheets , and got dropped instantly for a Out of form keeper......

Experienced keeper who can't catch a cold......

I just want him to catch the ball more often. World Cup hero. That would be in Joao's most erotic dreams.

Stek was a WC hero as well. Just food for thought. Doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things today.

Stek used to be highly regarded as a keeper at one point, he was in a WC final on merit.

Sadly that was a decade ago.

The injury finished him

Like a new signing?

Rewarding failure...again.
