Been here just shy of a year and we haven’t won a pot. It’s not good enough mate.
Some good points and TBF to them regarding a striker they did pay 27 million for Barry. They can only trust the scouts as they know nothing about football. Early days with him but I think the price made us all expect more.
Pickford agrees long-term Everton deal
Jordan Pickford has agreed terms on a new long-term contract with Everton.
Pickford has agreed terms on a new four-year deal.
It was reported in September (below) that the club want Pickford to stay for the rest of his career – and that ambition has now moved a step closer.
His current deal runs until 2027, which would mark 10 years at the club, and the new deal is expected to extend that stay well beyond.
Last month the the proposed new contract offer could take Pickford past his 36th birthday. He will turn 32 in March.
Currently in his ninth season as an Everton player, Pickford has long established himself as England’s first-choice despite Everton’s well documented struggles against relegation.
Everton believe Pickford is happy, settled and open to the idea of committing the majority (possibly all) of his remaining years at the highest level to the club.
They are hopeful the positivity of the new stadium; new ownership; the encouraging upturn in form under David Moyes; and a successful summer transfer window in which the signing of Jack Grealish has been a real signal of the club’s ambitions.

We’re not a PL club without him. Simple as that in my view. I think he’s been the best keeper in the league since Ancelotti brought him back after dropping him for Olsen. Ederson and Allison started to make a lot more errors, in high profile games too, and Allison has had more and more injuries. Martinez blows very hot but then goes extremely cold with some horrendous errors. Raya has only just emerged last few seasons. Donnuruma might surpass everyone but is only new to the league.
For consistency and big game moments there has been no one better than Pickford. His peak in that final run in under Lampard was the best stretch of goalkeeping I’ve seen from anyone in this league for a long long time.

The ironic thing is he’s only appreciated by us and not fans by other clubs, as he’d easily improve what they already have in goal for them. Surprising really like as you’ve said he’s been one if not the best goalkeepers in the division.

Just annoys me when people go on about Pope or Ramsdale in the England frame, or Sels has a decent 3 months, or Sanchez before him at Brighton. This lot are nowhere near Pickford. They also don’t have every single error microanalysed by a media desperate for Pickford to drop the ball on being England’s number 1. Imagine playing under that pressure for years and still hardly making a mistake. Allison can kick three in his own net against City or Real Madrid and the media will call him the best keeper in the world afterwards like nothing happened. Martinez gets sent off or drops a ball over his own line and apparently it’s just passion and he wins the lev Yashin award. Pickford does either of those things and his international career is being called for by the media.
If you want loyalty, get yourself a Pickford
Get in, most important player of the 2020s easily, love him, hope this contract makes him top earner because he actually deserves it (as long as we can afford it and all that obviously)
This has changed significantly over the last couple of years finally!
I’ve noticed when I see the usual ‘engagement posts’ on Facebook saying ‘who should be England keeper Pickford vs whatever flavour of the month keeper’ it’s almost exclusively people laughing at the suggestion anyone is on Pickford’s level apart from geordies and kopites spouting the usual nonsense.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve said this about an Everton player but he’s been world class for about four years now for club and country.

Great news, and good lad Jordan for staying. I can't think of a better keeper out there that's better, available, and would join Everton to be honest.

He’s world class. Up there with the best in the league for clean sheets, despite not playing for one of the better sides in the league. More penalty saves than any other England keepers combined, just broke Bank’s record for consecutive clean sheets the list goes on. But apparently Pope, Henderson or Ramsdale should be give the opportunity. Pathetic journalism.
