If that ‘one bad spell’ spans more than a season & his POTY seasons weren’t title worthy does that change the context of the criticism?Fecking hell. POTY year on year then one bad spell and the daggers are out.
On what planet is he terrible with his feet?Is it really that much of an outlandish opinion? He's terrible with his feet, doesn't come off his line, and his shot stopping hasnt been up to his usual standards over the past 18 months.
Probably a smart investment for the club though, might get sold in a year or two.
I seriously hate the plastic cnuts in this fan base
But some mental posters don't want him to sign a new deal Incase of scares Henderson away.He’s 28 years old for feck sake. He’s had his first rough patch in 5 years and it’s consisted of about 5 mistakes over 6 months. The reason it’s been such a big deal is because of the standards he has set himself.
Absolute nonsense to write him off, he’s barely reached peak years for goalkeepers.
How will we lose Henderson ? He is on a contract with us until 2022 (+ option for one more year) - if Henderson does well at Sheffield United and de Gea doesn't, we can take Henderson back and make him our first choice goalkeeper. The difference is that we now have at least 3 years to decide if Henderson is good enough.
It's the rumoured increase to highest paid player in team not that he is resigning why are some of you attacking people who don't like how much we are going to pay him?!He’s 28 years old for feck sake.

The David Jamesesque boo-boos he's been doing for 6 months now, will end. There's always a big upturn in form when the ink dries on a new mega deal.
DDG was going on a free in a few months. I fail to see how signing him hurts us. It’s not like he’s a new signing and Henderson is shocked. Henderson earns the spot, we trade DDG. Henderson not better, we loan him out. In three years we keep the better of the two and trade the other. Either way the squad is stronger.Henderson is not going to wait 3 years when he is already a premiership keeper . He is unlikely to wait one more year even if De Gea is going to be number one and he will be
Spot on.Hope these reports are true. I believe his dip in form is nothing more than that, not some steep decline many are forecasting. We do dish out ridiculous contracts and we are a badly run club, but de Gea has been our best player by far in the post SAF years and the only one to be consistently at a world class level. He's professional and humble. He's the only one deserving to be the top earner at the club IMV.
This planet? Maybe terrible is a little harsh, just didn't like the way you criticised a newly promoted poster for voicing his opinion.On what planet is he terrible with his feet?
Yes paying someone ridiculously high wages, whatever could go wrong.We should definitely get him on a new contract. No downside at all.
He's not great! He used to be his first couple of seasons but has really regressed the last few years. And the other points still stand, him being glued to his line doesn't help our defensive line who always have to drop deep.On what planet is he terrible with his feet?
No one should be given a contract on what they have done, only what they can offer going forwards. Club needs to be far more ruthless.Look I already said we owe him for how he has performed for us and he deserves the contract on that basis
This reminds me of those people not wanting to sign RVP because he would block Welbeck's development.But some mental posters don't want him to sign a new deal Incase of scares Henderson away.
I liked Welbeck but thats crazy talk.This reminds me of those people not wanting to sign RVP because he would block Welbeck's development.
What makes him captain material? Maguire has only been here a couple of months and I already think he'd make a far better captain.He should be the top earner at this club, hands down. Sanchez fiasco coincided with his (and others) dip in form. No player is more worthy of the captains armband. 300k p/w, should be the max we pay players at the top in their position.
I haven't the foggiest what you're trying to say here.Lets be blunt here.Honestly,does anyone really give a feck. Small Dave signing a contract....(He's feckin barmy if he does) Is going to be as bad as Young, Matic, Lingard, Mata, Shaw.
He is, if you compare him to the best in the world (Ter Stegen, Neuer, Allison, Ederson etc etc ...). Aimless punts are his specialtyOn what planet is he terrible with his feet?

What's so odd is his distribution early on was so much better, but like most of our squad, the longer he's been here, the worse its got.He is, if you compare him to the best in the world (Ter Stegen, Neuer, Allison, Ederson etc etc ...). Aimless punts are his specialty
Exactly!What's so odd is his distribution early on was so much better, but like most of our squad, the longer he's been here, the worse its got.
We are carrying Dave but else it's correct.He's been shit now for a year. Better would have been to release him on a free.
Am I doing this right?
Completely this. I do want Dave to stay but we cant be dishing out contracts based on sentiment of previous accolades. Unfortunately, its fair to say that Dave hasn't been great the last season - that's not to say he hasn't been good but he's definitely dipped. Ultimately, he's put himself in this position by dithering on the contract. The longer he keeps stalling, and the less convincing he is, the more he's putting pressure on himself.No one should be given a contract on what they have done, only what they can offer going forwards. Club needs to be far more ruthless.

Such a stupid decision. This was the perfect opportunity to let him go and get a modern sweeper keeper like all the top clubs do, someone like Onana from Ajax. This contract renewal is purely sentimental, DDG isn't anywhere near the player he used to be.Tweet
