BoxRec's Team of the Season - 2016/17

[fightfan95]

Let's see who we think the team of the season is... I'll create a poll each day for the positions in a standard 4-4-2 with 5 options... 2 days to vote on each poll. At the end I'll create the team the members of BoxRec have picked! I'll also do a manager poll!

Lets start with the Goalkeeper!

[Ossyrules]

Difficult. I've gone lloris but it's more kind of on an overall defensive effort from spurs

[edgey2009]

I'm going to vote Jordan Pickford. He has been the only positive this season for Sunderland (Defoe maybe as well) and can't see him staying there for much longer.

[fightfan95]

It's reported Pickford is going to Everton in the summer for 17 million.... too much?

[Boxerbeetle]

I'll go for Pickford as well.

[fightfan95]

Should Pickford be England's number 1?

[Ossyrules]

Should Pickford be England's number 1?

Not for me but he could become 1

Slightly biased for Lloris this season. De Gea wasn't as good this season compared to other seasons, where he was clearly the best keeper in the league.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Fraser forster or craig gordon

[Tangerine]

Tom Heaton

De Gea has been a little down on last season, not the same match winner. Pickford however has won Sunderland a lot points, and is their best player.

Not this day and age. He's a young keeper with bags of talent. And especially considering how English players are inflated these days!

£17m for a young English keeper is an absolute bargain. Kirkland went for about 12m years ago. I wouldn't have been surprised to see him go for £35m+

No he didn't, it was £6million. It was a lot but he was considered a nailed on success by many but he soon revealed himself to be pretty average and made of glass.

Why is this in British forum??!

[rd350lc]

Gordon Banks

[Boxerbeetle]

Why is this in British forum??!

Because British people like football

[ElJefe]

Went for Courtois. Can this be moved to Off Topic?

[fightfan95]

Sorry guys didn't mean to put it into British forum does a mod have to put it in the Off Topic or can I?

I've seen quotes from 7-12m once add ons were included.

Either way it was a British record and huge transfer fee for a keeper

I thought the British record was Craig Gordon?

He may well be now but Kirkland was at the time
