Re: General Transfer Thread
Interested to see how Trafford does. I expect a lot of "he's the next England keeper" (he might well be) whenever he makes a save as the media do seem to love to glaze certain players, but I genuinely can't quite tell how good he is or isn't. He's been a bit of a mixed bag whenever I've seen him.

Re: General Transfer Thread
Trafford was weak as piss playing for burnley in the top flight. Think 40m is a huge risk
Re: General Transfer Thread
We spent £30m on Pickford after 1 season conceding goals for fun at Sunderland and finishing bottom, so it's just one of them wait and find out stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up another Butland777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2026 3:12 pm Trafford was weak as piss playing for burnley in the top flight. Think 40m is a huge risk

That's what I've seen from him so far, and £40m seems absolute madness.
Who knows though, the sample size seems so small that it's difficult to really predict anything about his future.
Must be something there for teams to want him so badly they'll pay top money, so I'm wondering if I've just not seen that yet, but will do now he'll be starting every week in the premier league?

This surprised me but according to his PL bio he’s 6’5”!!AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 30, 2026 3:45 pm Small, lightweight and error prone.

Re: General Transfer Thread
He carries himself like he’s under 6ft. But he’s just a kid in goalkeeping terms
Re: General Transfer Thread
I reckon John Stones makes less than 15 appearances for Inter. Nice little end of career gig for him there.
Re: General Transfer Thread
Not so sure to be honest. I think he might just rip it up over there. If you look at some of the great Italian players.down the years, electric pace is not the first.thing that springs to mind. It's quite a technical game in Serie A, and Stones is a baller. I think the slightly slower pace may really suit him.
Re: General Transfer Thread
I don't think anyone's questioning his ability, just if he can string backbone back games together
