Poor Romero.Why don't we bring him as #2 next season? He can replace Romero, play the cups and be part of the squad.
Maybe the same people on those sides of the debate still hold the same opinion and you happen to see the ones critical of Henderson because he made a mistake today. Just a thought.
Will he be happy with going from playing 36 premier league games plus cups, to suddenly only playing up to 10 cup games barring De Gea being injured?Why don't we bring him as #2 next season? He can replace Romero, play the cups and be part of the squad.
Probably not. He might become England Number 1 as well; I don't think he would want to lose that to playing second fiddle.Will he be happy with going from playing 36 premier league games plus cups, to suddenly only playing up to 10 cup games barring De Gea being injured?
Time will tell.
The thing is, we are all over every little mistake De Gea makes. It's less so for even Henderson, who is our keeper too.Probably not. He might become England Number 1 as well; I don't think he would want to lose that to playing second fiddle.
He has had a very good season at Sheffield United, despite those recent mistakes. If he has another great season, Manutd will have to make a decision. Either they make him number one or he will leave.
Doubtless, he will attract attention if he has another very good season.
I can just tell Henderson's first season back with us will be agonyYou guys are insane
I agree. I remember De Gea was getting a lot of criticism not long after he joined for his mistakes. Henderson will get a bit of time if he plays for us, but it won't be long until criticism happens when he makes a mistake. Still, he would have to face it at some point here; he won't get the same experience at a club like Sheffield United as he would at a top club.The thing is, we are all over every little mistake De Gea makes. It's less so for even Henderson, who is our keeper too.
Romero has been championed by many as being better than De Gea, but they forget he plays a lot of the lesser cup games.
He let one in the other day, that if it was De Gea everyone would have been all over it.
It's a huge call. Back as number 2 would suit us, but harsh on Romero.
Possibly hey! Not that I think DDG is going anywhere yet, mindI can just tell Henderson's first season back with us will be agony
That’s probably spot on.Would it be fair to say that even if Henderson isn’t ready to step up, De Gea is about ready to step down?
You could have two number ones for a season. If DDG didn’t like it he might drop his wage demands to get out. Problem is DH might not be good enough to replace him.I agree.

I don't think it is unfair for Romero. I don't think there would be much difficulty for him to find a second goalkeeper position at another top side; after all, the guy doesn't seem bothered about being number one judging by his career. He is a good second keeper, but I am not too bothered about him.
It's the problem with goalkeepers: you can't really share the position. If both want to be number one, it won't work. It is like when Van Der Sar left Juventus after they signed Buffon; he just wasn't interested in being number two.
You cannot keep two goalkeepers happy who want to be number one. This might be irrelevant, though, if Henderson isn't that bothered about being a number one goalkeeper.
It's incredible this place.You guys are insane
It wouldn't go well for us . The media would go crazy every time one of them made an error or looked like making an error and saying thd other should be playing.Why don't we bring him as #2 next season? He can replace Romero, play the cups and be part of the squad.
you have your opinion, I have mine. de gea has obviously lost his confidence and he is no longer a game changer. For me, his command of the box and distribution which are now vital parts of the game, are weak - it’s not just about shot stopping and even in that category he has made more mistakes than any other premier league keeper over the last year. He is simply not the same player - Anyway we should not even be in a position where we need a keeper who has to save loads of shots. If the team is set out right and we are on the front foot, and the keeper commands the area , there will be less shots against us!People want us to sell de gea and replace him with romero?
Like seriously?
with henderson, not romero. but also keep romero as an option.People want us to sell de gea and replace him with romero?
Like seriously?
in theory not a bad idea. But 1 de gea would fetch far more capital than Romero and I would rather have another top attacking mid like sancho or grealish than him 2 Romero is psychologically already prepared to continue as a no2 but change would give a deserved opportunity .When has he let us down and doesn’t his patience and vintage quality deserve reward? 3 De Gea’s mind set now is that he is either no 1 or he leaves. Show him the respect and let him leave before he loses even more value- this could be a damage limitation exercise 4 Henderson would be much happier to compete with Romero rather than the already allocated no 1 - DDG- he has said he only comes if he is no 1. You can’t have Henderson and de gea in the same squadwith henderson, not romero. but also keep romero as an option.
I'd personally sell Romero and get henderson to compete with de gea for the spot.
well then they need to make a decision based on how de gea finishes the season on whether or not to move him on this year or keep him for another year.in theory not a bad idea.

I'm not saying De Gea is the best option, but Romero is untested. A few cup game / year isn't a good barometeryou have your opinion, I have mine. de gea has obviously lost his confidence and he is no longer a game changer. For me, his command of the box and distribution which are now vital parts of the game, are weak - it’s not just about shot stopping and even in that category he has made more mistakes than any other premier league keeper over the last year. He is simply not the same player - Anyway we should not even be in a position where we need a keeper who has to save loads of shots. If the team is set out right and we are on the front foot, and the keeper commands the area , there will be less shots against us!
That aside, if you had to choose would you have henderson or Romero (Argentina international goalkeeper with lord knows how many caps) and Sancho or grealish or better still both in your team or keep the current De Gea?
silly question for most I would think
Agreed - and of course. But I can’t see any change at all.well then they need to make a decision based on how de gea finishes the season on whether or not to move him on this year or keep him for another year.
if de gea has a poor end to the season individually, i dare say his time at united should be up. if he suddenly and miraculously plays like the old de gea, keep henderson out of loan for 1 more year. if hes merely alright, then i would bring henderson back but keep him to give him 1 season to compete for his spot.

A conceded goal and the knifes would be out.I can just tell Henderson's first season back with us will be agony
Always the same cycles, without fail as well. Player vs player comparisons, shit on one to promote the other etc etc.It's incredible this place.
I'm curious why you think Romero is clearly not good enough to start?I don't think Henderson is ready to start for us, I also know Romero is clearly not good enough to start for us.
Hopefully Henderson will be our number one eventually, but next season would be too soon anyway, it won't happen.
Because young goalkeepers should play week in week out, that's how they develop. If we don't intend to use him as #1 then he should go on loan.Why don't we bring him as #2 next season? He can replace Romero, play the cups and be part of the squad.
Which one? All 4 of Kane's 'goals' didn't look great for HendersonWatch his keeping for Harry Kane’s disallowed goal tonight
the kid is nowhere near ready to take over. Another loan is needed! mistakes like that would bury him at United.
Not only that, but will that be the best for his development? I don't believe so.Will he be happy with going from playing 36 premier league games plus cups, to suddenly only playing up to 10 cup games barring De Gea being injured?
Time will tell.
Yep, I can't for the life of me see why on earth we wouldn't leave him where he is for the next year. He should rack up 36 more Premier league outings, pending injuries/suspensions etc, and can challenge for the England squad from there.Not only that, but will that be the best for his development? I don't believe so.
I think fans are overthinking this. De Gea is still a very good keeper, Romero is a great backup that seems happy being so, and Henderson is getting a ton of football in the Premier League. Leave things alone and give him time to develop without it having an effect on our own results.
