Walton is in my opinion the most underrated member of the squad.

Decent with feet (probably underrated there for sure) calm and does what any decent keeper does, communicates and makes saves from shots.

It's a tough one. I agree with what I see week in, week out. But, we're data driven now so there must be something that comes up in the data that we don't always see.

Of course we could be barking up the wrong tree entirely and Palmer and Button could both be moving on, and its a case of Either/Or with Scherpen and Pope to provide competition for Walton.

His nickname is going to be 'Pencil' isn't it? Has to be.

Plenty of games under his belt, played Champions League football against the best players in the world in big environments. Young for a goalkeeper.

These are the sort of links I like and the profiles we should be going for.

As someone who watches a lot of Belgian football and in particular Union SG, he’s really a superb young goalkeeper. Very towering presence, good at claiming from corners and a great shot stopper. We’d be doing very well to get him in.

Hugely better than pope, he has all the good aspects of Muric but is much more reliable.

100%. If we're adopting a more pragmatic approach and it's a toss-up between Pope and Scherpen, it's the latter all day long for me.

I like Walts and I wouldn't be too concerned if we start the season with him. But I do think we/he needs a really good rival for the #1 position. Palmer is OK for Champ, but I don't think he's quite Prem standard

I heard his name in May and asked about him and was told not someone who had crossed the radar at that point, but things could have changed since then.

You might need to claim some credit if we sign him!

Think Pope is more likely, but sounds possible if not.

Thing about radar is it doesn’t stop looking👍

If we were a team who had plenty of possession, then Walton would be preferential, his starting positions and save percentages are brilliant, but he's not great at claiming high balls in the box, and when we're quite likely to be under a fair bit of pressure this season, I think that's going to be a more important quality needed from our keeper.

That's a real strength of Pope, he's one of the best and that's with Dan Burn in front of him too!

I know he's not the sexy choice "we need young and upcoming, we need foreign" no, we need the right people.

Pope has experience at the very top level, that also has benefits which can be passed on to Walton I suspect, he's still youngish keeper wise.

Plus, he's a town fan, so you get a free 10% uptick in performance as it means more lol, the passion which we're missing a bit of since people like Harry Clarke and Wolfy aren't playing as much.

"...he’s not a commanding keeper for crosses..."

Are you sure you've seen him play?

I'd say that's his single strongest attribute. He's one of the best we've had at commanding his area and collecting crosses.

I guess the delay is Newcastle still looking around for another keeper? It sounds like they are keen to move Pope on and we must be waiting patiently for this.

Reportedly Newcastle won't move for Trafford until after the World Cup.
