Evening eds

I heard a little while back when everyones name was being thrown into the hat of players we was signing about the young lads from burnley pope and tarkovski (if that's how its spelt) . but i've heard it again this time from a burnley source that a double swoop is very much on the cards from us for them both?

Is there any real concrete interest from us in either of them? Im a big fan of both i know its only one season for pope but the way he's matured over the season he's got a very bright future and tarkovski is still a bit raw but he will be immense next to someone like VVD

Apologies if this has been repeatedly asked.

Pope has had one half decent season in a very average career and Tarkowski is a lumpen man united supporting donkey. Not the sort of players who will turn us from also rans to champions.

Tarkowski, no. What when we have 3 better players in his position in lovren matip and gomez.

Pope though, 5 months ago I'd have said no way but his good form doesn't look like dipping.

The line between success and failure is often very thin. If Heaton had not got injured then most of us would laugh at the idea of signing pope as no1, as it happens he has kept Heaton out and for me was one of the biggest shocks last season, rivalled only by salah I'd say. The lad was great. I don't think we'll sign him, it is only 1 season but I reckon he will continue to improve and be good in Europe. Fair play to him.

Seem to remember mignolet been exactly the same at Sunderland.
