Not worth 30 mil but still a good signing. If he was foreign he would be about 8 mil.
Ederson played 1 full season for Benfica and went for £35m so that's clearly not true.
Benfica won the league. Sunderland were relegated.
Ederson has the potential to be in the league of Oblak, Courtois, De Gea.
Pickford has the potential to be in the league of Begovic, Hart, Mignolet.
Clearly true.
Ederson started his career at a Second Division Portuguese side Mignolet started his career at a well known Second Division Belgian side Oblak started his career with a Slovenian side
Nothing confirmed yet that Ederson will be nothing more than a Taibi... Pickford already has a head start on all three of those players because he's got Premier League experience a year ahead of Ederson (both the same age).
Yes Pickford might turn out to be another Hart yet at the same time have to remember that Hart at 23 was doing extremely well with Birmingham and has won the Golden Glove in the Premier League on four occasions (three on the trot), if Pickford can have the same sort of career and do better with England then I'll be more than happy.
At the moment though it seems that because he conceded two identical goals against Scotland and because Pep Guardiola wrote him off instantly it makes it trendy for everyone to write him off as an over the hill player, yes he's the reason we didnt beat Scotland but he's also the reason we didnt lose to Slovenia!!
Hart is a decent keeper who has fallen on hard times. He's lost his confidence and his technique is suffering - he's in bad nick needs a few good long sessions in the nets, to borrow a couple of cricketing terms, but he has had sustained spells where he performed much better than he currently is for both England and Man City.
He should not be in the England squad right now. If he finds his old form again he;d be worthy of a recall, but currently Forster, Heaton, Buckland, Pickford, and Foster (although unavailable) are all English and in better form than him.
As for Ederson/Pickford, just cos one is foreign doesn't mean he'll be amazing, and just cos one is English doesn't mean he's shite. I suspect they are both overpriced for what they are now and there are so many things that could affect them reaching their full potential that it'll be years before we can say if they delivered value for money or not. Both certainly have an awful lot to prove now and I hope the fees don't weigh heavy on them, although it's hard to gauge what is a good value transfer fee at Premier League level these days - it seems like £20m to £30m gets you what £5m to £10m did 20 years ago.
Leicester City are expected to announce the signing of Hull City defender Harry Maguire in a £17m deal.
A good signing that, in a position where Leicester desperately needed cover this season
£17M for Harry Maguire, what a nonsense. He was a decent defender at Sheff U for a number of years and now he's suddenly worth £17M !
The fee is nonsense (12 + add ons apparently) but then just about ALL PL transfer fees are nonsense nowadays. In relative terms, that seems a decent purchase though
Classic short termism from 'Arry. I doubt that anyone's mad enough to pay £5million for the odious John Terry - I'd be surprised if he manages more than 20 games. Nor - as the ultimate Charlie Big Cigar - is he likely to do much for team spirit.
As Athletico says, a sure route to administration. I know it's a different regime now but you'd have thought the club would have learnt their lesson with Zigic, the big Serb.
Huddersfield sign Mooy permanently for £8m rising to £10m.
As is usually the case with such deals with "large clubs" there are also buy-back and sell-on clauses. Buy-back clauses seem quite popular now, as a means for the giants to profit even more, if their former player turns out to be really good...

Pickford is overrated though, just like 90% of young english players

Reckon Terry is a complete;y busted flush and will look just as much of a carthorse in the Championship as he did last season for Chelsea.
He's made for Birmingham though. Scummy player, scummy club.
