BoxRec

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!

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

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.

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

I'll go for Pickford as well.

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.

Fraser forster or craig gordon

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??!

Gordon Banks

Because British people like football

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

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
