I'll get a top keeper then.
Oh, so the airline flying direct they wouldn't get on. Does his wife fly private every time?Yeah I'm sure De Gea is using Ryanair
Now that's a different point but we know we aren't going to get a keeper this summer. You either settle for DDG who has been worse than Henderson the last two seasons or you play Henderson, see if he's good enough and get a keeper next summer if not.
This is the point though ? If I have a top class GK like VDS or peak De Gea as main starter I won't care about the bench that much.
I said previously I have no problem with keeping De Gea next season. If he himself wants to leave then it can't be helped but if it's our decision and not his then I'll keep him for one more season all honestly.
I will watch it later mate but I agreed with @FatTrails summary up above. I don’t think it’s just abou
ill have a bet. £20 quid to chosen charity?
Where to start with this.
i'm not a betting man, but will do for charity. I bet he won't be here next season.
It's not like Heaton isn't comparable to Romero. Wouldn't say there's a lot of difference between them. Both good solid goalies.
But Henderson has been the better keeper for the past two seasons. So why are you going with the worse keeper into next season?
Henderson has been the main GK for Sheffield fecking United, not Manchester United.
Shes a pop star in her own right. So I would imagine so
This is an age-old argument not really worth getting into, but yes, he's got 96 caps for the same country that's handed Marcos Rojo 60. It's not been a great decade for them at the back.
Henderson hasn't been better this season to me. De Gea's made far less errors this season than him going off memory.
He was a perennial number 2 at his previous clubs and Argentina didn't have great competition between the sticks. I like Romero but he wasn't a top keeper. He was absolutely the best number 2 in the world though
He had a better season with Sheffield fecking United, the team that shipped a tonne more goals without him. Then had a better season than DDG at United.
Even DDG has been pictured flying Easyjet back home.
DDG suffered a gradual decline so when Romero arrived at the club he was still better then him. However in time the gap started to get smaller and smaller. If you take age aside then I think that a 31 year old Romero would be a better keeper then the current Henderson
The pressure on Manchester United goalkeepers is 10 times worse than any pressure or attention he would have got in Sheffield it's not even a comparison.
So your argument here is DDG is moving to Rome, on a massive wage cut, to be the same distance away to his family in Madrid...because there are more direct flights with Easyjet.
So we are really saying he's the same level as Carson and Adrian?
Statistically Henderson has been better both in % saves etc and also errors as far as I've found.
Prior to re signing with AC Milan Antonio Donnarumma's only experience in the Serie A came with Genoa. He was a 3rd choice keeper there. He was sold to Bari (Serie B) and then to Asteras Tripolis in Greece. He conveniently re - signed with AC Milan when his brother was in talks of a contract extension (were he threatened to leave on a free). Both have Mino as agent. I think the writing is pretty much on the wall.
That is one of the reasons, yes. His partner apparently doesn't like Manchester(surprise, surprise), want to be closer. Both Milan and Rome offer more regular direct flights.
Fair enough, I wouldn't but fair enough opinion.
Both keepers were decent at best. I think Romero was better than both
He's just had a season as United keeper. We could buy a keeper from abroad like Donnarumma who could crumble at OT.
Henderson has age at his side and his career hasn't been ruined like Romero was but if you take a snapshot of a 31 year old Romero and the current Henderson then they are probably at the same level with the Argentinian having a a slight advantage.
I said nearly as, in fairness. I'd probably put him closer to Kusczcak and Steffen than either of them.
Eh.. I mean I said already according to this season at United I believe he's still not ready to be the main option, he needs one more year at least imo. Again I'm not saying he's shit, it's that he needs more to time to be trusted like that.
I'd give Romero the advantage of experience with not much to separate them otherwise.
She hasn't liked Manchester for a decade and he kept signing new deals. That story has been regurgitated year on year but never changed much.
Can you check what the Euro numbers are this week please? Must be pretty cool owning your own time machine.
De Gea is better with post shot xG minus goals conceded, which is probably better than general save percentage. It has its flaws and goalkeeper stats are a bit hard to track anyway due to how many things are outside of their control, but thats probably the best one to use for shot stopping.
Wtf is that?
