Regardless who comes or goes, the one player we cannot sell is Pickford.
The stories suggesting that this is being considered, are, I believe little more than click bait, at best, and at worst are part of the ongoing attempt to destabilise OUR club.
Pickford signed a new four year contract with no release options, and at least in public has never expressed a wish to leave, those outlets promoting this outcome should either put up, or shut up.

Same as you hope Pickford stays but stupid papers say united and spurs are after him?

United is a very real possibility I would imagine. Wasn't De Gea released?

No problem with him staying. If the club had been run anywhere near well in the last 6 years, we wouldn’t even consider selling. I don’t think he’s irreplaceable and he’s one of our more saleable assets. Wouldn’t surprise me if he left. If Utd are keen, he’ll want to go, I’d insist on Henderson in return, + £20 mill or so.

{Ed002's Note - Obviously that is not going to happen.}

How much is Henderson worth in the current market?

{Ed002's Note - About the same as Pickford - and he is a few years younger.}

Ed, how are they worth the same when one has played over 200 PL games. Starts for his country and has played 50 time the amount the the other has, playing in Euro finals and WC semi-finals?

{Ed002's Note - Players are not valued based on appearances.}

Do you expect Man U to go with Henderson this season then?

{Ed002's Note - I doubt it.}

I didn't say they were but surely experience and the level of football you have competed at comes into play when a value is determined.

Whichever way you look at it, Pickford is much more highly thought of than Henderson is, so why would they be valued at the same price.

{Ed002's Note - That is not how values are determined and Henderson will move elsewhere in the coming weeks - Everton are not involved in the matter at all.}

If they were to go for Pickford it would suggest they rate him more highly. 20 million May be hopeful, but you’d expect some cash on top of Henderson in that case. Imagine Henderson’s wages would be significantly less too.

{Ed002's Note - Manchester United have no interest in Pickford and have much preferred options.}

Happy days. Thank you Ed002. Sounds Ed002 is not a big admirer of Pickford as well as Utd ?.

Easier to proclaim that nugget earlier you’d have thought.

Completely trust in your info Ed02 and confident Utd won’t be in for Pickford. It’s reported in the Star that Utd are making an offer - is this just guesswork by journalists or someone playing with them from inside Utd? It always annoys me when it feels like something has been made up from nothing. All it does is unsettle players and nothing is done about it.

{Ed002's Note - As I said, he would be well down the list for Manchester United.}
