Just seen the worst rumour as in pathetic. Real Madrid may out a bid in for Pickford at an astounding 50mill. Is this a season loan they wanting?

Perhaps it's 50 mill a year in instalments for the next 6 years.

His little finger on his right hand is worth more than that!

It was not a rumour but a hypothesis.

Not that anyone takes notice of us, but heres a thought. Luke Shaw, is in the last 12 mounths of his deal, clearly his face does not fit at united, and we are in need of a top class left back, surley there's a deal to be done there!

With lots of people talking about needing more mid to late twenties and our lack of Baines cover, Shaw could be a superb signing. He’s a confidence player and that’s been shattered at Utd.

Could see him doing a job for us for a few years as long as he stays injury free.

{Ed025's Note - the guy has ability reason but he needs to sort himself out mate, he is not looking after his body and is overweight which has seen him fall out with mourinho and other managers before him..

Not sure about our ability to instil confidence in a player either to be honest. As most Clubs we have our favourites and admire loyalty (mine are Big Dunc of that era and Coleman, Baines of this era) but we (some of us) can certainly destroy a player as well and normally at home games (our away support whenever I have attended is superb) . Garbutt though seems to have lost confidence behind the scenes because when I have seen him play on the pitch he looked an ideal future Baines replacement. Just my opinion.

If he can’t get motivated to keep his body trim whilst at a title challenging team then he’s likely to be less motivated at a top half challenging team. Good player, just lacks self discipline it seems.

ktf950, absolutely mate! I agree 100% with all you say. Our home support is just different to the away for some reason. Goodison can be a heavy burdon for young players. Look at how Stones started making mistakes. now look at him in an England shirt!

Maybe he needs to have a chat with Pickford’s chef:

They could even do a Goodison 'Come Dine With Me' (please note, other food shows are available)

Maybe that is the reason we have such wretched home form and a brilliant away record. Hmmm. hold on a minute lol.

Wasn't talking about home and away form Smit666 was talking about Club supporters and their ability to destroy our own players, particularly at home. Have no idea if you attend home and away but surely if you do, you must have noticed the difference, it really is quite stark.

Totally ktf950. The home crowd expects entertainment and let's players know if they are not delivering. The away crowd supports the team. as in the definition. support! No comparison at all. I remember watching Portsmouth losing 7 nil at home to Arsenal and their immense fans continued to sing "Play up Pompei". non stop and until the end. can't imagine anything like that at Goodison but can imagine our away support doing it. But I am guessing that Smit666 is disagreeing because I commented. I once said something was black and he disagreed and told me it was white! (thats just a little joke Smit)

Not at all Degsy, KTF my comment was just to point out that we do ok at home but not away from home. The same young players play so the pressure might be a good thing and help them perform.

Degsy i don't remember your post about something being black but even so, i would imagine it was probably white anyway.
