He basically cost us top 4 last season with a feck up against Chelsea right ?Yeah. Feels like it.
He's turned into the kind of keeper who annoys me. Stupid mistakes after stupid mistakes, all while he's making acrobatic saves.
My hopes are on PSG and Juve . Maybe Atleti too will need Oblak replacement? Although they won't be able to afford current DDG wages.Genuine question, who buys? Only Barca would be sumbe enough to throw money at a poor 30 y/o keeper on €350k/week.
Do PSG need a keeper?
I hope you are not saying we are gonna win feck all next season as per the thread title.Sorry David, you've been a wonderful amazing keeper for us, but the mistakes seem to be creeping in far too quickly. I agree with others. We're gonna win feck all anyway, give the young lad a chance
That is a good point. Henderson does look a very good young keeper, but he is still way away from the finished article and as you mention, he has let a few soft goals in too. I wouldnt see people here saying they would drop DeGea and play Nick Pope for example, who has been pretty much as good as Henderson this season.I'm guessing lots of people haven't seen the goals Henderson has conceded? Whatever you think of De Gea, Henderson isn't the answer.
How can Henderson not be ready for a chance? He’s playing for a team who have basically matched us all season! Now is the time whilst we’re not in a title raceI don’t think he’s ready, and I don’t believe Romero is good enough. Sticky situation.
We’ll win the Europa in a month - but okayJust throw him in we aren't winning anything with this team and manager anytime soon anyway.
I don't know. We're definitely improving as a team but I do worry about how De Gea has seemingly started to struggle. Maybe the stats will prove me wrong and if that's the case, then fair enough, I'll accept that. It's just how I feel.I hope you are not saying we are gonna win feck all next season as per the thread title.
Because there’s a different pressure playing for United.How can Henderson not be ready for a chance? He’s playing for a team who have basically matched us all season! Now is the time whilst we’re not in a title race
At this point I’m at “anybody but De Gea” stage so I’d happily risk itBecause there’s a different pressure playing for United.
This is my thinking as well (and I voted as much). Sell both of them, keep Romero as number 2 and buy OblakDon't think Henderson is good enough either.
We need to buy.
He has been poor for a long time now but surely this is too harsh!?Is part of the problem DDG having no competition for his position ? Whatever he does Romero is never going to dismantle him . Perhaps a healthy bit of competition next season with Henderson will either dismantle him or get him to wake the feck up ?
This is true of pretty much every goalkeeper. What team rotates goalkeepers, pretty much every team has a #1 and when the #2 deputises they have no real chance of displacing them whatever they do so the #1 is pretty much always secure in their position barring a calamitous run of form.Is part of the problem DDG having no competition for his position ?

The issue is that Ter Stegen, Buffon & Neuer already had lot of experiences in top league like Bundesliga, Serie A at such a young age. Dean only had 1 full year in PL comp at the moment. Age was never the issue but experienced is the issue. Lack of experience in top level can give the lad so much pressure to be no 1 giant club keeper (history tells us how many of keeper struggled in between Schmeichel & VDS era which shows not easy even for international experience keeper).While this forum is dominated by a romantic notion that all keepers can play into their late thirties (a poster wrote that De Gea has 8 years left at the top as recently as a few days ago), the fact of the matter is that there are no guarantees about that and that Henderson is already 23.
De Gea was 21 when he joined United, Ter Stegen was 22 when he joined Barcelona, Buffon was 23 when he joined Juventus and so on. Neuer was 25 when he joined Bayern, but was already considered world class.
What I am trying to say is that I do not think that there is point into sending Henderson on loans each year in the hope that he will magically become good enough at the age of 30.
Given that De Gea has been a liability for far too long, I feel that the right thing to do would be to give Henderson a shot and, if he turns out to not be good enough, sell him.
I don't know where that certainty comes from - but okay if you say so.We’ll win the Europa in a month - but okay
Don't think he us great by all accounts.How is Henderson with his feet? Should be a consideration given that Ole wants to play out from the back.
The whole reason we would move De Gea at this point is to replace him with a young, English, academy product in Henderson. The only way we are going to find if he is ready is to thrust him into the limelight. The same we did with De Gea. It may not be next year but it maybe the year after if DDG’s performances continue like this. We have far more immediate concerns in outfield to be spending more money in the GK department rather than to look at a ready made replacement in Henderson.Even if I accept the point that De Gea should be on his way out, I have never understood why Henderson would be the clear choice to replace him just because he is under contract.
If you move on from De Gea because a world class keeper is vital, the shortlist needs to be a hell of a lot longer than Romero and Dean Henderson
Madrid? Firstly they don’t have money. Secondly one has Courtois and the other has Oblak. No way they will be interested.Henderson may not make silly mistakes like DDG but can he save other ones like DDG ?
since he is getting 400K a week it’s all going downhill for him, hope Madrid comes in for him so we can have at least 40 mil we can use on a CD but anyone can offer him 400K a week ?
Maybe Atletico will take him back on the cheap if they sell Oblak to Chelsea.Madrid? Firstly they don’t have money. Secondly one has Courtois and the other has Oblak. No way they will be interested.
