It was impressive he even got nears Benteke's goal. Most goalkeepers would have been rooted to the spot. It's that he got a hand near it that some people think should have stopped it but you can't take anything away from the strike.
I don't think the comments would be so positive if Romero put in that performance.
I didn't mean that to sound like I thought it was a poor performance, it was definitely a solid performance for someone who hasn't played much recently. But he made a huge error that would have cost us a goal if not for Smalling, Romero would have been crucified for that while it's just getting glossed over for De Gea.Aside from the uncharacteristic distribution, which we could out down to him not playing a lot of football lately, what exactly was wrong with his performance?
Romero would probably have conceded at least two goals off of the saves DDG made today. And they weren't even DDG 'specials'.
Just shows you how good he is.
Real to come sniffing again come end of season
- Should have saved Benteke's goal.
- Almost conceded a goal due to a horrible throw and shit clearing.
- Shit beard
- Shit hair
- Shit girlfriend
- Flop
I thought considering the circumstances he was great yesterday
I can't quite figure out why we'd agree to that buyout clause tbh. Seriously hope it is bullshit, which it does sound like, unless there is a lot more to this whole thing than we know about. That figure really is at the bottom end of any valuation of him.
I get all that and yesterday reminded us of what we've been missing (if ever we needed it). Would just be happier if any buyout clause was more c£50m and I had a faint and possibly naive hope that he was pissed at Real and might actually stay here beyond this season. We live in hope.If he doesn't sign then he goes for nothing...the fact that he'd cost Madrid £30m now makes it a great contract for us. I have no doubt that he'll be off and there probably is a clause at a value that Madrid have told Mendes they'll pay, so Madrid essentially take a hit because they messed up the deal. We get a year to agree a deal for a replacement, De Gea gets a pay rise, makes the Euros possibly as a starter and Madrid get a world class Keeper...everyone wins to a degree.

Woody wouldn't give him 200k / w and a 30m release clause.
At least we know he is going to be fecking immense this season again. Just need him to hook up with a local lass.I wish I could believe it...in my mind he's already gone.

Ok why not. But until I something that is not the Sun report it I might believe it..Why not? An extra £100k or so a week to ensure you get £30m, rather than nothing at the end of year...he'd be stupid to turn it down.
I wonder if he could have. Does Romero have the jungle panther agility to block that Ings shot?
I think he would have saved the Ings one, I think that's a pretty standard save even with the bounce. The second save there is better than I remembered though, Romero might not have saved that tbf. Although I think he probably would have, his shot stopping is one of his strong points.
I'd offer up my sister if it meant he'd stay.
I don't get why it is universally accepted that he will leave at the end of season.
Real Madrid will be very pissed off if he signed a deal still intending to leave.
I posted this in newbie section, might as well post it here too:
I am not saying he won't go to Madrid, but those who say it's a dead cert should also consider the fact that United have bumped his wages to £200K/week.
Madrid do not pay that kind of wages to a goalkeeper/defender, they would happily pay it to a goal scorer/Galactico but not a goalkeeper. If they do, he would become their 3rd best-paid player behind Bale and Ronaldo. Would he be happy to take pay cut to join Madrid?
Also, If their was any truth behind a release clause (30m), the Spanish Media would be all over it. United might have a gentleman's agreement with De Gea & Mendes about letting him go for a specific amount, but if their was a release clause of 30m in his contract cnuts like Duncan Castles (who has close ties with Mendes) would be taking a lot of mileage out of this story already. Not to mention, Marca and Spanish journos like Gulleam Ballbag.
