Listening to the Unholy Trinity podcast and they said Pickford was screaming at the bench to make some subs, and it's the second game in a row he's done this.
Anyone know if this is true?

Yep.
He does it every game.
Constantly at the bench to change it and hates having to hit it long everytime.

Really? Yikes.
Biggest fear with him is that Chelsea realise they have a shit keeper and come knocking in January.

Don't think we need to worry about Pickford going anywhere at this point, he's missed the boat and probably would only go to Manchester side and that ain't happening

That's somewhat concerning, is this a new thing or has it been going on before this season?

Absolutely no chance he hates hitting it long, that's his most used kick, from one end, straight out of play the other

We are ridiculously lucky this lad has stuck it out with us. He's going to go into the books of, "deserves some silverware" like Baines etc

Been mostly very good for us, but I would be absolutely fine with selling him for a large fee, if the chance came. He does also cost us goals at times that other keepers wouldn't.
Think you could get a very good keeper for £20-25m and not lose too much.

You mean like Chelsea, Utd and City all easily replaced their keepers?

Ortega's an excellent backup. Utd and Chelsea's recruitment have been mad for a while, so I wouldn't cite them as an example no.
I like Pickford, but I'd still sell him if we got a big fee. I don't think that's controversial.

Definitely not controversial, very player has a price is often repeated because it’s true. However, I do think Pickford is more than simply a good keeper.
We are short on players and almost bereft of quality. In such circumstances Pickford is something of a talisman for both club and supporters. He is the undisputed number 1 for one of a top 5 international team, he makes saves that win/save games, he (apparently) loves us, he has that little bit of madness about him, etc.
In short, he’s worth more to us than the some of his parts and brings more to us short term than a competent replacement would. I’d do everything possible to keep him.

Yeah, I hear ya. Just don't agree. I think we need to sell more when players are at their peak value.
All the positive and negative things that are said abut Pickford are true imo.

Don't disagree loads with you mate often but couldn't disagree more here. Think he's been mostly great for us and his errors particularly given the shit show he often plays with are relatively low. We would get a decent enough keeper for the amount you mentioned but don't think they would match him.
