James Trafford

[Victor_OTT_17]

The same clauses that were included when they sold him to Burnley. As such when Newcastle bid £31m for him last summer City matched the fee but it worked out as £27m because of the sell on % that City effectively paid to themselves.

You have to write all of your comments on an easel now btw! Because some see you as the Oracle on here, weasel's easel has to be a thing

We accept 70M
30m profit
6M to City
we get 64M
24M profit

If Man City match then we give them Trafford for 64M and still be 24M in credit

I will write my repleis on an easel if you sing yours whilst strumming your banjo

[Victor_OTT_17]

strumming your banjo

Still sounds like a euphenism!

[Jammy 07]

Wow what a signing.

Never ever thought this was possible for a club that was promoted only a year ago.

Well done to Marathe and the 49ers (plus investors) for making this happen.

Lovely wasn't it?

It was. Thank you for posting faaip.

Everyone seems happy with this signing so it must be good news. I've never heard of him until I saw him play in England's last game at the World Cup but then I'm not someone who's totally engrossed in football outside of Leeds Utd.

Have a look at our game against Burnley before we got promoted. Trafford was amazing that day.

You must have read that wrong Victor, I’m sure it was Orifice that was mentioned.

Glad to get it over the line. He should be our GK for the next few years now, and if not, we should make a huge profit.

There's a lesson to learn from them, they still get a big fee when a player is surplus to requirements. We need to stop giving ours away for free and start bringing in transfer fees (not just out academy players).

R.I.P to those who cried over the word "Red" being on the shirt

Maybe get him to change his name to somewhere more local. Dewsbury-Hall is taken but must be some other places.

A good Cockermouth lad joins LUFC

No way that a Cumbrian will let us down

Worth every penny

I'm expecting great things from JT. Hoping that he stays with us for his career and plays a huge part in us getting back to winning trophies.

I'm ok with that but Willy was joint first

[Victor_OTT_17]

JT MotM? That's a joke!!! I mean he was fine but he only did goalkeeper stuff; nothing extraordinary. Stupid choice...

[Barlow Boy]

First of many awards for this fella

A good goalkeeper makes things look routine. Get the positioning right and you make a comfortable save rather than having to fling yourself accross the goal and making what looks like an amazing save. Pickford is a great example of a keeper who makes eye catching saves but most of the time it is because his positioning is poor.

Looks like we have the defence sorted ,this guy is top dollar and its early days but looks like he has great feet. Probably turn out to be a steal at todays stupid prices.
