Nick Pope joins Newcastle.
Used to rate him until I saw his footwork for England, might be a good stop-gap until they're challenging for Europe.
Yeah, below half way of the PL.A good move for both parties.
Pope will, at the very least, offer a strong challenge for Dúbravka, thereby strengthening Newcastle’s options in goal.
And Pope will have the chance to prove that he is capable of more than playing for a team at the bottom end of the Premier League.
Did you see the second half of the season table?Yeah, below half way of the PL.
I think top four is a bit of a stretch next season, though I think they will certainly be challenging for European places.Pope’s an excellent signing. I’m glad Eddie Howe rode out the storm and is now proving what a good manager he is - always come across as a good bloke. Wouldn’t surprise me that much to see them make the top 4 assuming they acquire some of their targets.
