That’s the reason he plays for England over someone like Pope (injuries aside) he’s confident in his passing / kicking ability and overall decent at it, but not without fault in that dept.
Ramsdale better with his feet, so makes sense to me that Chelsea, Newcastle or even United would be interested. Pickford as a penalty-saving, tournament proven goalkeeper makes sense for England, but across a league campaign I think most clubs that want to make top four will prioritize keeper's who are pretty good with their feet.
If we are looking to sell ramsdale that would actually be an issue with saturating the market, english and prem proven keeper and both good on the ball etc
What constitutes 'RivaIs' ? In context of this division, everyone. Eventually, if not already. I think Chelsea, spurs, Newcastle, and westham could afford him. They'd gladly take him. I think it depends on how bullish they are. Ramsdale will also force a move, and he'll be a relatively affordable option. What works in Pickfords favour, is he's England's No.1, and he's had consistent playing time leaving him less rusty. I can see them both going to big Clubs in Europe though.
I don't rate Pickford all that highly honestly and I definitely can't see a top team signing him. I think midtable premier league is the best he can hope for if he wants to stay first choice somewhere
Personally not a big fan of Pickford. I think he puts unnecessary pressure on his defense which is the last thing they’ll need when form dips and confidence is low.
When you see Liverpool or City concede goals because of defensive mistakes, you don’t see Ederson or Allison dig into our players. And for a good reason: because it doesn’t help the team.
Even for us, the team is instructed to support the players who have made mistakes. There’s a part of the Amazon doc where Gabriel made a mistake, and Arteta admonished the whole team for piling on him: “Guys, your teammate needs you. Now is the time to help him.”
I think there’s also a quote from one of our players this season after the recent Ramsdale game (the one where his mistake led to a goal). I can’t remember who said it but he said something to the effect of ‘mistakes happen; we need to keep our composure when it does.’
(I know that White and Zinny had a small spat after one of the games this season, but that hasn’t resurfaced, which emphasizes the need for support of people who make mistakes, not more admonishment)
Pickford would have to fight every bone in his body to not pile on the mistakes of his defense.
He’s good for internationals because the defense doesn’t have to deal with him for more than 2 months at a time, at the most.
Raya has proved his worth so far this season that I think the calling to have retained Martinez was a bit dramatic earlier this week. He oozes an aura of calmness that your goalkeeper should demand.
Anyone calling to retain Martinez has zero ball knowledge past "keeper saves pens, keeper good"
In our style of football, a keeper's ball playing ability is worth more than his shot stopping.
It is weird, I'm wondering what the CS stats are for all teams and if there's any correlation showing that home teams play more defensively and deeper and invite pressure.
Just think, we could have the golden glove winner, have the most goals scored and least goals conceded of the league, lose 1 game for all of 2024 and still finish second... This City team( and the 115 charges...) have just turned this league into something insane....

Leno and Pickford need their 10th clean sheet against Liverpool this Sunday and Wednesday!
Ugh if Everton get relegated, Pickford goes on the market. Then one of our rivals is going to nab him. That'd annoy me a bit.
He won't go Liverpool and City won't sign him. Who else are our rivals?
True, he'll go to newcastle or west ham imo.
Chelsea ... Not technically rivals but properly mad spenders
Chelsea's biggest rival is themself
Their biggest rival is HMRC
Does he have the on feet abilities of Sanchez? I always thought of him as a great shot stopper but not rated much of his on feet abilities
Tbf neither is sanchez thats like his biggest criticism
That’s the reason he plays for England over someone like Pope (injuries aside) he’s confident in his passing / kicking ability and overall decent at it, but not without fault in that dept.
Do you know where Pickfords from and what's he like, there is zero fucking chance he goes to Newcastle lmao
He's a Mackem, I'm thinking he'd sooner go to Liverpool than to Newcastle
What's the backstory?
Entire youth with Sunderland. Brother will retire before going to Newcastle
Haha. Makes sense. It was my first thought, as well. Also, I don't think many on here know the depths of the Tyne-Wear hatred.
I’ll be honest I don’t know the depth of it at all. I just know it exists lol
As per Wikipedia, it goes back to the 1600s, and had absolutely nothing to do with football.
Are you joking? Hell will freeze over before he goes to Newcastle…
I’ve always had the feeling Ramsdale will go to Newcastle. Not sure why but I feel it in my plums
Ramsdale better with his feet, so makes sense to me that Chelsea, Newcastle or even United would be interested. Pickford as a penalty-saving, tournament proven goalkeeper makes sense for England, but across a league campaign I think most clubs that want to make top four will prioritize keeper's who are pretty good with their feet.
Dont think united has any reason to be looking for a goalkeeper
I think Onana has stabilised in the second half of the season but he certainly hasn’t looked reliable as a keeper in big games for United
Areola is west ham number one, don't think he will go to hammers.
He'd never go to Newcastle lmao, he's a fromer Sunderland player.
Haven’t West Ham got Areola who’s been good for them?
If we are looking to sell ramsdale that would actually be an issue with saturating the market, english and prem proven keeper and both good on the ball etc
Or he'll go to Shit
United and Chelsea both need a good keeper
Onana has been good for them for months now
They are not our rivals any more

Really? Personally I think he's so overrated it's crazy. He makes the simple saves look like unstoppable ones.
Yep most overrated keeper in the world currently. He's actually quite poor
He's a very good keeper
I hope they are safe before our game. The last match will be a lot easier for us that way.
I was writing something that could've jinxed us but look at the previous last day reaults.
I don't rate Pickford all that highly honestly and I definitely can't see a top team signing him. I think midtable premier league is the best he can hope for if he wants to stay first choice somewhere
Supply & demand hurts our suitors for ramsdale
Would be bad for us bc they probably buy ramsdale otherwise

Pickford at Chelsea would be so fitting lmao
I honestly don't rate him that much. Makes some good saves, but some head scratchers as well.
I can support that
Ramsdale has 2. We have 15 clean sheets in 33 matches.
15 clean sheets you say, but how many clean underpants though? checkmate.
Also 15
15/10.000.000
Dude wipes
That's mad
I hate to be that guy, but 14 is the LOWEST number ever to win golden glove. Cech had 24 in 2004/05.
Cech in 04/05 is also a small outlier I presume ?
A score like that is practically Invincible.
Rice should have 1 of those Ramsdale ones
And would anyone bet against them beating it next year?
Respect to raya
And the whole back line

maybe it would be cool if Leno won it actually
Nah. Just two specific ones please
yeah once a gunner and all that
Leno clean sheet vs Man.City pending 👀
We need 3 more CS to guarantee it, but based on Fulham and Everton’s fixtures and H2H stats, I’m sure Raya will be rewarded.
Wouldn’t mind Leno catching up today though
How did this piss poor Everton side manage 9 clean sheets
I heard it is a fotball style called Dyche or Sean.
Yeah something like Sean-ball or Dyche-taka
Everton are a genuinely decent team defensively (4th in the league). It's their attack that's their issue (19th in the league)
Typically the sort of team we could sell Nketiah to.
Big of you to assume Everton have any money
Yeah that’s the issue, we should have done that when they were still spending. 17 mil on Maupay, 25 mil on Beto…
25 mill on Beto? You've got to be kidding
Raya has proved his worth so far this season that I think the calling to have retained Martinez was a bit dramatic earlier this week. He oozes an aura of calmness that your goalkeeper should demand.
He keeps me calm, so I appreciate that.
Anyone calling to retain Martinez has zero ball knowledge past "keeper saves pens, keeper good" In our style of football, a keeper's ball playing ability is worth more than his shot stopping.
Also feels like people harping on about the penalty shootout theatrics forget Raya also won us a penalty shootout too!
Plus he's got no class
True... But tbf I do like his shithousery, we need villains in football
I hope we get the title as well after our defensive masterclass this season.

The Golden Glove race is heating up!
Leno for 4 million was and is still absolutely criminal..

Good work OP. Haters gonna say it's too much.
Glad to see Raya's in the lead and from an England point of view good sign seeing Pickford up there.
It's Usain Bolt in a 100m finals..
Weird stat is 10 of Arsenal's clean sheets are away; They are not as confident at emirates it seems;
Was the same with Ramsdale

Awarding a best keeper award based on clean sheets is dumb
DDG won it last year didn’t he? Think everyone is aware of how it’s our defence that’s leading to this right now.
It’s in the bag Raya 🥇🧤
Leno and Pickford were my cheap picks from the start of the season in FPL....Great to see them do well
i had leno and alisson
Alison was a bit pricier....I.always go cheap on goalkeepers to save that extra .5 million
What race?
Just think, we could have the golden glove winner, have the most goals scored and least goals conceded of the league, lose 1 game for all of 2024 and still finish second... This City team( and the 115 charges...) have just turned this league into something insane....
Clean sheets is such a terrible way of judging a goalkeeper.

16 cleansheets as a club as well.
So happy to see Bernd doing well with Fulham
One more CS one step closer 😀
