DDG - it needs to be said

[arthurka]

No doubt that he's regressed. Bring in a more commanding keeper and overnight our defense would look 2x better.

Agree. This team lacks leaders and commanders he is neither. He has become a liability and a sort of the hot potato no one wants to discuss or tackle. Ole needs to do the right thing here, give Henderson the gig till the end and then we will see if he has what it takes. If not Kasper is available and we could probably get Pope in on a deal but DDG form isn't just a slump it's been going on since 2018 more or less.

Yeah you are absolutely spot on but think Ole isn't ruthless enough to make that decision

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Glad you've mentioned Schmeichel junior i think we should put a cheeky bid in for him. I'm sure he'd love to finish his career at United

Yeah I’m fully into getting Schmeichel. Think he would cost about £10 mil (to us, £6 mil to anyone else).

I’m sure he is out of contract in the summer

I’m sure he is out of contract in the summer

Should be all over it if that's indeed the case then

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Amen to that

 

[croadyman]

Amen to that

There is no doubt DDG has been a great servant for this club and was one of the best around for five years, however even when at his absolute best he never commanded the area well enough or distributed the ball effectively either

Even without that I’d just love a schmeichel in goal again!!

Contracted to Leicester until 2023.

Yeah even though it's not for us I still enjoy seeing him spread himself in front of the opposition attacker

Ahhhh bugger

I’m sure he signed a 5 year contract a couple of years ago.

 

[croadyman]

Ahhhh bugger

Better scratch his name off the list then

 

[OrcaFat]

Contracted to Leicester until 2023.

Would they stand in his way? He’s 34.

He give us 3 good years, we give them 10mil good pounds (what else we going to spend it on?)

Feck that shitty contract, Kasp. Come home at last.

I would literally piss myself with joy if this happened

 

[MadDogg]

For those saying Kasper, hasn't his form dropped off a bit over the last 18 months and he's been making more mistakes? I could be wrong as I only catch the odd game here and there, but that was my impression.

I'd still take him over De Gea though as his all-round game is obviously stronger.

I would rather have an Imam than Pope. He is not strong on crosses either.

 

[SAFMUTD]

If he's not benched after that kind of performance I dont get why did we brought back Henderson and gave him starter wages. If we really do think Henderson has a chance here this is the moment.

 

[arthurka]

I just think if Henderson can´t jump into the gig now he clearly isn´t going to. We should then go for a short term solution in Kasper and give us a couple of years to evaluate what keeper could fit the gig.
3 years of absolute calamity and mediocrity from our current number one shouldn´t be tolerated, Chelsea bought Kepa for 70m so price or wages isn´t enough to keep on doing the same mistake again and again.
Henderson will play tonight and if he does well he should start again on Sunday v West Brom.
DDG stats are appalling and that is clearly a problem that needs fixing right now.

 

[RashfordisRed]

I agree, at the least if Dean Henderson has a solid game today for the sake of making sure players get a message he has to start on Sunday.

I dread to think what a continuation with DDG could do to our younger players who will start to think they can live on past glories even if there is someone worthy of a chance in front of them, not to mention what it will do for our U23s like Hannibal, Shoretire, Hughill who will want to see that they won't not get a place because players in our front line were good a few years ago.
