Pears is a liability

I’d definitely take Ant-Man, maybe Hulk can be brought out of retirement as well

As disastrous as Pears has been, his stats always showed quite high compared to other keepers, mainly on last season though...Season before he was just terrible. 

We will get over a million for him I'd say. 

Hos record was good when we had Hyam, Batth/Carter, Brittan and Pickering/Beck running like a well oiled machine.

I still think that we can't be sure that Toth is the answer for a similar reason.

We had 2 spells, the biggest one under Eustace but also one under Ismael where our defence was so strong that the goalkeeper at the time barely had anything to do.

Don't understand the obsession with shipping Pears out.

Pears and Toth are both fairly crap but Toth is clearly the worse of the two imo. Neither are the answer.

Have there been any concrete links to Pears leaving or are people simply speculating?

Apologies if there have been said links and I've missed them.

[London blue]

I don't think there's any evidence at all that Toth is worse than Pears

There's plenty to suggest the opposite in fact.

That is coming from the same person that thinks Tronstad is shit so grain of salt required.

[London blue]

I can't help but feel it's a contrarian take.

You're entitled to that point of view, we'll see who's right this season.

We don't exactly appear to be  beating the suitors for Tronstad off with a stick this summer though do we? What is it they're not seeing either?

[London blue]

So of our current options you'd rather have Pears start as our number 1 this season?

He's made mistakes, like pretty much every keeper in the league last season, like a 1m keeper would. Christ Leeds fans were giving Meslier grief on many occasions last season, his valuation is 10 times that of Pears, probably more. Maybe its partly because many fans grew up watching Flowers and Friedel who were a class above, hence expectations are high....

I’d suggest Captain Marvel but we don’t play two up front.
