… for Nick Pope. Absurd if true.
We’re also after FC Volendam goalkeeper - Kayne van Oevelen - to act as number 2. [Post edited 5 Jul 8:24]

No one should earn that much.
All that's wrong with our economic system |
flip side is that as he is paying a lot of tax into the system and someone has to subsidize fancy car showrooms. Easily In the top 1% of taxpayers contributing a quarter of the income tax take. Captains of industry, fine, but that a veteran goalkeeper should be in that top 1% is daft | | | |

34, injury prone and has been that good that Newcastle have spent the last 2 seasons trying to replace him.
£5m and as a backup I could just about stomach, but £15m and 100k a week to be our first choice. Jesus wept. |
Now, profile me an England international goal keeper of the same requisite premier league experience, who still has the ability to be a number one and costs less than £15 million… |  | | |

Or you broaden your horizons and find yourself a Robin Roefs like Sunderland did last summer for the same, if not cheaper price. | |

You’re moving the goal-posts, clearly it’s also important to have players who know and understand the league and the rigours of premier league football- Pope is a veteran and it’s a bonus that he has a connection with the club too.
I’ll broaden it out for you, forget England international-
Find me an internationally experienced goalkeeper who can still be a number one, with the kind of premier league experience that Pope has for under £15 million. | | | |

Absurd if true, but the fee isn’t true. |  |

Lets be honest tho we arent going to be signing any clubs number 1 keeper of prem level. Its gonna be a very well experieced one.
When weve spent £7 mill on akpom. It shows imo 15 mill isnt much of a fee as it sounds. Considering we also got 10 for broadhead. |
Itll be interesting to compare our level of spending and the quality if player we get in through the door, to our promotion rivals,as a bench mark of our recruitment strategy in the PL. |  |

Find me a 34 year old keeper who performed like Nick Pope did last season who a club would be willing to pay 15 million for is maybe the flip side of that. |  |

I doubt we would pay £15M for a 34 year old.
Particularly considering there are better keepers out there. | | | |

Difficult for me to judge, as I didn’t see him play last season - I have seen him play on a number of occasions though and he’s a very dependable Premier League goalkeeper who will make a grand number one at most clubs from mid-table down. | | | |

Before last season I would have been in 100% agreement with you.
He got a bad injury, came back last season and looked very dodgy and had another injury that has to be a concern no ? | |

I’d have to know lore before commenting, but it appears in out of the loop- thanks for the info. | | | |

Wonder if we end up with a base fee of £5m-7m with some hefty top ups based on appearances/us staying up. | |

Local press are saying there has been no bids etc for Pope and he returns to training next week. Allegedly he’s on £60k a week at Newcastle. I think there are better value goalkeepers in Europe for less. Bit unfair on Walton if he isn’t no 1 next season! | | | |

I'd take Nick Pope for sure, but for £15M? I think there are probably better options abroad for less. |  | | |

Pope is 34 & seems quite injury prone. We'd be mad to spend £15m on him & give him a huge contract. |  |

Common sense must prevail with transfer fees and wages. Yes we need to keep up this coming season as every time you yo-yo it becomes that bit more difficult to achieve promotion again. One or two of your best players leave and need replacing and despite the parachute money clubs know you have a large wad and want a big slice of that for players that maybe aren't worth what they want.
As with any player a manager will never know how good they will be based on previous performances and we saw with two previous golden boot winners last season who didn't score a handful of goals between them. | | | |
