people will lose their heads over this, but Heaton is Romero’s replacement and further aids our English quota. Grant will do what he did last year.. which I’m not sure what that is
NEW DEALS FOR EVERYONE!
Next up, Phil Jones.

If your training is anything like Chelsea's, having 4 goalies is useful for the drills and Training, not to mention extra cover possible Covid issues.
You can't have enough goalies?
Very strange.
One of De Gea or Henderson is off for sure
Would only make sense if one of the top 2 is leaving, No?
Sign all the goalies, all the youth, all the talents.
It is our new mantra

Heaton as no2 with one of DDG/Henderson leaving then?
De Gea off surely?
Looks like one of DDG or Henderson are off then. There’s no reason to have 4 keepers on the books.
Oooh Romero and either De Gea or Henderson to leave then. Interesting
Yeah, fair point. I imagine one of grant/heaton (or both) are being eyed as potential GK coaches too
Man Utd doing things in the transfer window what other clubs can only dream of again, signing a new 3rd choice keeper and resigning the 4th choice to a new deal in the same day 
Why do people think it means that one of DDG/Hendo will leave? We had 4 GKs last year
Lee Grant isn’t really a proper player though, is he? Tom Heaton will be our third keeper with De Gea and Henderson staying for another season to battle it out I reckon.
Good gig if you can get it ,
£40k a week say to train 5 times a week for a few hours, not bad at all.

technically we did but one was sat on his arse in Argentina for the entire season
Who are we going to offload DDG to? His wages make it almost impossible to sell him.
Romero left.
And one of them wasn't able to be registered in the squad.
I still think Henderson might be leaving cause he doesn't want to continue as second behind De Gea at this stage. But even if they both stay then this still makes sense. Joel Pereira was released now with Romero. With Heaton and Grant we have two decent backups that are valuable in training. As Duffer mentioned it's good to have 4 keepers for various drills. So we have room for both Hendo and Dave if they stay, or potentially bring up a youngster if needed, though I'd prefer youngsters play with our youth teams or go out on loan.
tens of thousands per week to sit beside Fred the red. what a life.
Doesn't even get abuse like Phil Jones

Yeah, I doubt he'll be registered. He's just making up the numbers in training and behind the scenes.
yup
Denis Law had been spotted at OT. Maybe we'll be giving this former player a contract as well? At least he was WC with us unlike Mata, Heaton, Jones, Bailly and Grant.
Very proactive move for your club reacting to our imminent move for Wayne Hennesy.
With Carson taken and Green retired quality third choice keepers are running low at the minute.

Amazing to see that there still are loads of supporters that don't understand what Grant's role is.
He's perfect for it, and looks to be a nice guy and well liked aswell.

I doubt it.
Heaton is injury prone and quite frankly he was never that great in the first place. Meanwhile only United still think that Grant can still play football.
So
Heaton as our #2 isn't great if that is the case. We've had a fantastic #2 now for about 6 seasons. Heaton is a big drop off. If he's to be our #2.
So Heaton is going so spend the next year burning toast in Argentina?

i think its pretty much because he is in process of becoming a goalkeeper coach and has been doing it with us. will probably mean ddg or henderson is away and kovar another loan so leaving us with just 3 senior keepers
contracts seemed to be dished around according to a sympathy contest
It's si not normal to have four if anything the u23 keeper should be the emergency goalkeeper incase something major happens. Also Romero was supposed to be sold last year but the only team that showed real interest was Everton and apparently we feared they would challenge us in the league.
Can't have enough GK's. Size is everything.
then have him retired. DDG, Heaton and Henderson brings enough cover/competition for the role. If either DDG or Henderson leave then we'll have to buy as there's no way that a 35 year old crock or a 39 year old erm keeper? can be our no 2
We're out here running a charity.
One of DDG or Henderson were always going to leave, extending Grant means very little in that regard.
Not sure what club would want to pay Dave the money he's currently on though.

So Heaton is 3rd choice then.. not sure why we would do that when Grant was going to renew
That is a bit of a surprise. He certainly isn't needed to play.
I do think one of DDG or Henderson will leave.
