We should just ring Levy up and offer him Pickford for £100m cash up front, next day delivery to his door. We could start rebuilding the team for next season in the Championship, pay off Lampard and pals, offer Dyche the job for £100 a week, and give the rest to the long suffering fans.

GOOD NEWS !

England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has agreed a new deal with Everton.

The 28-year-old was approaching the last 12 months of his contract at Goodison Park and had been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Pickford joined Everton from Sunderland for £30m in 2017 and has made 222 appearances for the Merseyside club.

"He is a very good player. It is a sign he is enjoying the new regime and has accepted what we are looking to offer," said new manager Sean Dyche.

"He has been a fantastic player so we want him to continue doing that.

"I'm learning about Jordan. He has been very open about himself and how he feels here."

The Toffees have won two of their three games since Dyche replaced Frank Lampard and sit 16th in the table, a point above the relegation places, before Saturday's home game with mid-table Aston Villa (15:00 GMT).

Pickford made his England debut in 2017 and has 50 caps, helping the Three Lions reach the final of Euro 2020.

Great news. Just need to have it confirmed on the OS now.

Surely he'll be the highest earner at the club?

The horrifying reality is that Pickford now has a signed contract tying him to Everton (prima facie - good news for Everton). However Everton also have a contract signed by Pickford which clearly defines how valuable he is to Everton - facts that will be brought to the fore in the summer when the proposed clubs come for him.

He'll gather interest from other clubs this summer, no matter what, but if he has a long term contract, that could only be positive from a price point if he were to end up leaving.

There's undoubetdely a relegation clause in there. Still, good of him to committ.

Rotterdam 1985 Thu 23 Feb 2023, 11:22 pm

It's one of those that is good for both player and club. Player gets a nice pay rise and that extra sense of security. Club eliminates the risk of him leaving for free or on a reduced price due to length of remaining contract.

Judge is right though - if another big club wants Pickford this summer then it will be because they really want him, and it will be of little consequence to them what they have to pay. In that sense there is an element of Pickford and his agent doing Everton a turn here by making sure we get proper value for him if a bid from, say, a CL club comes in. But if a bid comes in that is too good for player and/or club to turn down then he will go, regardless of his contract with us. If that happens, my money would be on Man U.

swap deal for Richarlison Very Happy

He's a top keeper who has made some crucial saves for us. But he's no Southall, because he makes the odd error which I don't recall Neville doing.

I'm glad he's signed because I think we'd struggle to find a better goalie and, as has been said, at least we'll get big money for him if he does leave. I don't see a CL hopeful coming in for him though - Arsenal definitely not, the Shite definitely not, Newcastle not in a million years, Man City absolutely not, Chelsea very unlikely. Man U and Spurs are the only possibles and I'd be surprised if either of them made a move for Pickford, they're both more likely to look abroad for a new keeper.

Newcastle's Saudi owners accidentally signing Pickford because they've never even heard of Sunderland would be funny though.

Agree with all of that, but if you look at all of those teams first choice keepers, I reckon you could argue he is better than all, except for that Brazilian prick at the RS.

I think Pickford has been excellent since the Euro's and doesn't really get the credit he deserves at times.

There's no way he'll go there and sit on the bench, and the same goes for De Gea. I can't see Utd selling De Gea. Therefore, Pickford stays at Everton.

True. That's awarded for the number of clean sheets (16) but potentially all the non-clean sheets were down to his bungling 1 - Jordan (Engerland No1) Pickford - Page 4 F_laugh

I guess we're all concerned with how many of our, very few, top class players are being linked away.
If we lose Pickford, then so be it, but if we also lose Onana (and Branthwaite) then we're in serious shyt.
I can't see anyone of their standard wishing to come here.

btw Souness swam the channel!!!!
I'm only 6 months older than him, but these days I couldn't swim to the end of my sink.

Credit to Souness, I read the story last week about why he was doing it. Fair play. I've never been able to swim properly, in fact when I first attempted my 10m certificate at school I dived in three metres, doggy-paddled the middle stretch and then walked the last few metres. I didn't get the certificate.

Regarding Branthwaite - I have to say I find it surprising that he's being talked about as a potential sellable asset. Maybe that's because we've got so few of them? The facts are that he went to PSV as our 6th choice CB, played in a team that had the worst defensive record in the Dutch top 6, and didn't even become a regular starter until the new year anyway.

I'm not querying you and your reference to him here Yank, I have seen him mentioned in transfer rumours myself. I can only assume that unless we need a fire sale, this is all just rumour bollocks unless he's turned into Jaap Stam in six months.

That said, I've not seen him play at all for PSV, so maybe he has.

Shandy van der Meyde doesn’t rate Branthwaite at all, and what that man doesn’t know about football could be written on the back of his arse.

We’re in a terrible state if we sell Pickford. No goalies at all, relying on a shit 20 year old centre back to step in for Mina/Coady, no fit strikers, no right side wingers, no board of directors, no sign of any of the much heralded incoming investment, no money, up on a charge.

Mine did too, midweek. Changed the oil, cleaned the air filter (too lazy to buy a new one), and the spark plug, ran like a champ despite it being over 15 years old.
