I’d say it is something to build up too, but think there’s 2 reasons why we won’t:

I think it is more urgent to replace other players I would prefer a RW (if Minteh comes into the fold then I’d not be asking someone so raw to be the main player for that spot), I’d be surprised if we don’t look to bring in a striker (Toney’s reduced fee can’t have been missed, and I can see benefits for him and Tonali having someone to speak with/support each other), we clearly need a centre half, and I am not sure if Howe is settled on a left back yet other than defaulting to Burn… so not sure how much we have, and Pope & Dubs are probably after that in the pecking order of money to spend on.

Other reason is there aren’t that many top top keepers out there… Ramsay isn’t that much of a step up from Pope and to bring in a real upgrade would probably a) cost too much at this stage for any 1 player b) be impossible without CL football on offer.

I’m kinda hoping that once Pope’s shoulder passed a certain point, but before he was ready to start using his hands, that he worked on both receiving the ball on the ground and distributing the ball.
