David should be moved on if somebody will take him. If not he should be loaned or benched. Whilst many have tried to suggest his problems stem from complacency there's just way too much evidence that his nerves are gone. He's knocked us out of Europe twice (Barca and Sevilla) cost us in the Cup Semi Final (Chelsea) and cost us a place in the CL (last season) and fell to pieces for Spain in the WC (Ronaldo goal and pretty sure he left in almost every shot he faced over the 3 games) He even almost fumbled a simple save to Vardy's feet at the weekend. That's not even taking into account all the daft mistakes throughout the season such as Everton, Watford and all the times he's been easily beaten at his near post.
If he had other great qualities like organsing his defenders, coming for crosses or being great with his feet there could be some argument made for him but he doesn't. So I'm not sure what we're still doing here. I like David as much as anyone. He's been wonderful and I never thought it would come to this. But he's a goalkeeper. They need to be highly confident and reliable. We all remember the chaotic few years before we signed Van Der Sar. We don't need to go through that again.
This summer all our cash will go on needed outfield players so we can buy a keeper. So give it to Henderson a season. I'm not sure if Henderson is good enough to be our long term number 1 but he doesn't have the mental scarring David clearly has. If he rises to it, great. If not, we can put Romero in and we will have money available next summer to sign someone.
You're over the top in thinking that DDG is to blame for United losing to Barca and Sevilla. Come on man. The team completely collapsed in two seasons ago when chasing CL. This year, DDG and team made every point count and it was good enough to finish 3rd but make up the points difference to get into position for CL. Over the weekend, he did fumble a shot a bit, but cleared it away from Vardy but he was offside to begin with so no harm done.
Everton was a freak goal, but then he saved United's bacon a couple times afterwards that helped them secure a point. That point made a difference and Everton also had some good chances to equalize or take the lead without the freak goal that was conceded.
Defense and goal keeping wasn't all that much of an issue for United. It was trying to score enough goals in the beginning few months and their goals for is significantly lagging behind the two teams ahead of them.
DDG deserves to have one more full year before his position is seriously, seriously challenged because the club will be at a crossroad and they will choose Henderson.
Henderson has to work his way to England number 1 without interruption and that's going to be at Sheffield United. If he achieves that goal, and then has a good showing at Euros, his first major England tournament, then he's on a high that will roll into being United's number 1. But he will not be without his mistakes and hype being England number 1 and the huge scrutiny when United could have an outfield of players on the brink of seriously challenging for the league.
From the Big Dane, to the abyss, to VDS, to DDG, to Henderson. Henderson has enormous gloves to fill after VDS and DDG. He'll need a lot of support and a lot of resolve just to begin his United career. And United have to have a reliable veteran goalkeeper.
