2012-13 was the last time Romero was a number one, he’s played one season as a first choice (Serie A) in any of the top leagues. I wouldn’t be so quick to replace De Gea with him, an excellent number two but that’s how he’s forged a career.Don't see why he should get a free pass due to previous seasons. Especially when such mistakes lead to the team either overperforming or underperforming, winning or losing, and cost us places. A better performance from him would have us in the top 4. The more important thing going forwards is the effect he has on our style of play. For years we have been vulnerable on set pieces, and had poor possession and distibution, and been forced to play a low block, and he contributes to all of that. He's been one of the common denominators over the last years of our decline, and even our biggest success the Europe League was Romero in goal. His value will start to depreciate, so better to sell at peak value before he declines any further. That he has ceased to improve, fix his weak spots, and is now declining is enough to say get rid. Add his contract situation on top and its clear as day. Let Romero have a go next season, let Hendo develop, and evaluate the Summer after. De Gea will be miserable as hell without Herrera, Mata, Rojo anyway.
Strange to lock the thread in the mains which has stats from skysports btw.
Like playing for United?I'd hope he's got more ambition than that.
Hopefully it's just a blip in form. He's been the best keeper in the world for years, he was due a rough patch.
It's more than 3..Not sure if it has been posted before his calamities leading to goals is 3 according to the times.
Which is the same as Allison.
He set stratospheric levels of performance and a few mistakes that cost us goals and suddenly people want him gone. Statistically he was bound to make some errors sometimes!
Yes he's been poorer but he's still an 8.5/10 keeper
Close to 13 this season...It's more than 3..
Way more than 3 so I don't know how the Times have worked that one out.Not sure if it has been posted before his calamities leading to goals is 3 according to the times.

It's actually gotten slowly but surely worse over the years. When he first joined us his ability on the ball was well above average. Now it seems to be one of the worst in the league.One thing about his game is oppo team only need 3 players to slightly press De Gea and back 4, he'll smash it hard forward and we end up losing the ball anyway.
I saw at least 2 or 3 times City did that and had expected the exact scenario when ball came to De Gea.
This aspect of his game has never improved
In the league perhaps? Secondly can anyone name these errors or is it a feeling?Way more than 3 so I don't know how the Times have worked that one out.
He's made more than 3 errors leading to goals in April alone.
Off the top of my head in the League he's been at fault for goals against Southampton, Wolves, Everton, West Ham, City and Arsenal home and awayIn the league perhaps? Secondly can anyone name these errors or is it a feeling?
We'll have to re watch the goals and decide.Off the top of my head in the League he's been at fault for goals against Southampton, Wolves, Everton, West Ham, City and Arsenal home and away
He's been playing like cack since February, just how long do you give him? Any other keeper making all these mistakes would have been benched long ago.Classic example of United fans this is. Greatest keeper on the world but the moment he goes through a bad spell he's completely shit on, we should drop him, he's not loyal, it's all about money, sell him etc.
Even more hilarious considering the player we are talking about. A guy that had been regarded as arguably the best in the world for seasons now. A guy who was carrying us on our back a lot of time through the worst spell the club has seen in decades. Quite easy to also forget some of the incredible saves and stuff he's done this season as well it seems. It's almost as laughable as that time United fans thought Lindegaard was a better keeper than him.
Replacing or dropping De Gea, one of the world's best goalkeepers, shouldn't even be a discussion right now among some of the stuff the club actually need to be changing and some of the players that need replacing.
Yes but this season he's been a light 5/10.Not sure if it has been posted before his calamities leading to goals is 3 according to the times.

Lapse of form, given his overall performances for United it's pathetic to see people turn on him so easily.Strange how he's turned to shite
A lot of Spain fans who saw him at the World Cup.Ddg cost us top four this season. Who would have thought that in August?
AgreeLapse of form, given his overall performances for United it's pathetic to see people turn on him so easily.
There’s no pressure next week so he’ll make a few worldies. All De Gea’s best work for United has always been some when we are so wank that there was no expectation.He will play next week and drop it again. He is so bad currently
