Losing Pogba would be a blow and I hope he stays. But De Gea isn't as good as a alot of our fans have hyped him to be. He has clear weaknesses in two key areas that get overlooked by his fans.
Absolute joke. He's been player of the year 4 times in last 5 years. He's carried us almost single handedly into the CL at times.
yeah, makes sense. Still probably he's working to get another mega deal at United.
Agreed. I actually think we'd really benefit from getting a goalkeeper who actually commands his area and speaks to his defenders more.
Honestly just sounds childish this to be honest. Like you're trying to place blame at his feet.
Where did they say that and what exactly did they say
I don’t care about sentimentality.
Fans on here have a funny way of reacting to when players leave or look like leave.Outdated keeper? Why because he isn't a great passer or what?
He's still one of the top five goalkeepers in the world. But if he's holding us to ransom, feck it. Get Romero in or move for Oblak. Enough's enough with this ransom shiat!
That's rich. Why the feck would it be about blaming people? Grow up.
Just sounds like a scapegoat to me. You'll see what I mean when he leaves and the chuckle brothers and Young are still playing 25-30 games a season.
Perhaps you deserve better as well.
Better than one of the best keepers in the world?
It is somewhere in this interview/discussion between Andy Mitten and Mark Ogden.
I agree. And that Sanchez is on 400k a week makes it so much easier to do that. Leaves Woodward in an awkward corner.
I deserve better than Manchester United? I don't even know what that means.
You sound like one of those people who just loves his favourite player so much that he can't be objective. Who gives a feck if some other players aren't as good as him. What has Jones or Young got to do with this? We are talking about goalkeeping right now. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads to moan abut the defense in.
It’s tough call here. Sell DDG & spend almost 100m on Oblak or use DDG’s fees on other position & rely on both Hendo & Romero.
If he'd signed a contract last week you'd be happy with him. You're typical flip flop United fan.
You are missing the point. The only way to keep DDG is by giving him jumbo contract, if we don’t do that then he won’t sign a new contract and he will go free next season. And what we are trying to change now is not to give players crazy contract anymore. The decision has to be made whether we sell him or let him go for free.
Actually I'm not. I'm a supporter that does his best to see things for what they are and not fall in love with certain players to the point of not assessing them honestly. You know nothing about me so quit the name calling and assumptions. Here's a post from last season before any of this came up.
As far as I can tell, Neuer £13m, Courtois slightly above £10m, most other elite keepers (Ederson, Ter Stegen, Allison, Buffon, Oblak, Navas) between £5m and £10m. Very little reason for United to offer De Gea an increase on his current salary, as he is already one of the top 3 earning keepers. (usual caveats about online estimates of player salaries apply)
Exactly. When we get a Karius then goalkeeping will be the most of our problems as we gradually (hopefully) improve the back 4, midfield and attack.
Bang on the money. We lost Herrera unecessarily because of this, which creates a big problem for us. We should have sorted Dave and Ander out before handing Sanchez a ludicrous contract.
DDG didn't tell us that
Yeah, that should have been the chronology. Mismanaged at every level unfortunately.
That's a load of crock. Just because you write about football doesn't make you an expert on it. I work with two goalkeepers. One of them is coaching now, the other is still playing and is a former international keeper. They're football pundits and how they talk about goalkeepers is completely different to what other pundits say. Ogden might as well cover volleyball, he'd know as much as what he'd be talking about.
