I'd be shocked if he ends up at Forest as i would've thought a few other clubs would want a relatively cheap England keeper. I thought Forest's current keeper Samba was quite good anyway?
Samba has refused a contract offer and has requested to leave the club.
So Forest are desperate for a keeper, and Pope is English (adding a weird tax to his pricetag) and valued by Burnley at £40m
There's no way they sell him for £10m surely
But isn't his value also dictated by the length of his contract and does he only have one year left on it? If that is true then in January he can start talking to clubs about going on a "free" at the end of the season. Do Burnley's money grabbing owners want to gamble on that happening especially as he's probably costing them £2m plus a year.
He has one year left but Burnley have an option to extend by another year, so it's basically 2 years left.

Because he feels the contract offered was really low. So instead of paying him a bit more they're going to instead pay out 10-15m for Pope plus whatever his wages are (a hell of a lot more than Samba's i'm sure).
Doesn't seem the smartest move when their money is probably better used in other areas of the team.
Small amount in the context of staying in the division. But I wouldn't have thought Pope was suited to Steve Cooper's style of play.

If Burnley think they are getting 40 million they are in a dream world! Burnley need to sell players very quickly. Best we can hope 2 clubs get in to a bidding war for him, if not he'll go for around 12.5

Pretty sure they would have a break in that if they are relegated.

From what I've read Samba is quite unhappy that he was undervalued and so there's no guarantee he'll accept a higher amount. As he only has one year left on his deal they'll probably be forced to sell him rather than lose him for free.

Be just our luck they end up doing a swap deal with no cash involved and we end up with nowt

Wonder if Forest leaked the interest in Pope to persuade Samba to sign? Look, you keep asking for too much money and we'll sign him instead, drop your demands a bit....
What about Spurs? Lloris has had his best years now?
Doesn’t sound like they are in the market to replace him this summer. Forster will sign as number 2. I agree they’re probably better signing a younger keeper to compete with Lloris and then take over but doubt they’ll go down that route.
What about Spurs? Lloris has had his best years now?
Aside from the fact they're about to sign Forster, if he went there he'd only be backup to Lloris. He's only going to sign for a club where he can be number 1 as wants to play so he can go to the world cup.
I expect Samba reckons he can do better. To be honest, his perormance in the Play Off semi was top drawer. It would be surprising if the Pope fee was as low as £10m but that still represents decent money for us.
Think people had their expectations set too high with the money.
He's a 30 year old fairly good English goalkeeper. He will bounce around lower midtable Premier League teams for sums that won't go above £20m.
I don't think anyone thought Burnley's 40m valuation was realistic, but at the opposite end of that, the 10m reported in some papers seems extremely low in todays market.

It is low but Burnley are in a very weak negotiating position and everyone knows it. .
I'm a big fan of Nick Pope's and I was told by the experts that the reason Pickford gets the jersey at England is he kicks better; not last night, and he is a shot stopper; not last night. One of the punches he did last night, not the goal, Pope would've caught.
Ever since Nick Pope eradicated his weakness, the hard low shot to his body he is a top keeper and at 30, he could still have 7 or so years left at the top.

Pickford has generally always been very good for England.
I still think there’s a chance he could stay there if they go down.
English goalkeepers aren’t around in abundance in the Premier League - hence why you still see Johnstone from West Brom getting call ups regularly even though they are in the Championship.
As we’ve seen with Fulham in recent years, the parachute payments are enough to keep the big earners hanging around.
Think it all depends on whether a big club comes in for him which he/Burnley simply can’t refuse.
Not that he'll start, but the fact it's a world cup year would likely make him want to leave.
Why on earth would Nick want to spend 2-3 weeks in a hotel in Qatar? Certainly not worth basing career decisions around something like that.
We all know Pickford will start, but Pope may well back himself to be ahead of Ramsdale.
So then it'd feel like he's one injury away from playing in a World Cup.
If Pickford keeps diving away from shots like last night's Germany goal Nick Pope will be England's Number 1 all the sooner

In a manic sort of a way you are correct for England. He had a heroic game for Everton late in the season but for both Sunderland and Everton over the seasons he made a fair amount of helter skelter decisions which led to goals.
If feels like Nick Pope will only ever be a number 2 or 3 for England but is still well in credit for Burnley and he needs to move on for Charlton's sake and it would be handy if a few lower to mid premier teams got into an auction for the tall keeper from Bury st Edmunds.
Southampton buying 20 year old Gavin Bazunu from Man City for 11million. he was on loan at Portsmouth last season. Fee could rise to 15million
Young ball playing modern goalkeeper. Crazy to think still that they’re going for that amount of money when he was only playing League One last season, even though he is very good.

Why?. Surely the parachute money is more than enough for them !!

Not with the amount they owe due to the way the club was purchased on finance

It's Pickford until it's Ramsdale.
Pope missed his chance because Pickford's form for England was too good.

City will no doubt have a buy back clause, though I can't see them needing a new keeper for years
