His biggest problem would be a season on the bench could cost him a WC spot if Nik max oli and Michael are all starting and doing ok
Not a chance in hell they'll ever even consider dropping Paulsen
A season training day in day out with an EPL club, sprinkled with say appearances for the U21s is of higher value than a season in goal in the ALM. Each day at the Cherries he would be challenged at a level way above, his prior time in the ALM.
As MM says madness to think he's not clearly one of the top 2 AW keepers. The real battle is for the 3rd keeper spot.
That’s the good thing about this forum, people can have different views. The advantage of this differing view is that we will get an answer come WC time, of course there is still a lot of water to go under the bridge before then, AP could very well end up starting over in the prem, others may get injuries or some could cash in from others above getting injured
