If he doesn't sign a new contract and we decide to sell, who do we bring in? I like the gk at Ajax he looks solid.
Potential De Gea Replacements

The only one is Oblak.
He's obtainable as well.

He will cost a lot of money though, id rather save the bulk of the cash improving our outfield players.
Romero is good enough, if not supposedly Henderson is.
Get £80m+ for DDG. Spend it on Oblak.
Rest of our transfer budget on the squad. Simple really.
Or if being in Madrid is all that matters for DDG, straight swap.
Henderson looks good.
Sign Cilessen.
Before you guys hit on me let me explain. Sign a CB who can play out from the back means less pressure on GK . His distribution is excellent and will help us start our attacks effectively .

If we don’t wanna spend that much then Courtois. Even though he’s dominant in the box but he’s shit with the ball at his feet.
Like it's that simple, Chelsea lost Courtious and had to pay a world record fee for a keeper to replace him. Why, because the other club knew they were desperate.
@FootyGirl88 loves to create "potential Replacement threads. Oblak is the only one who replaces him as of now.
Henderson is the best in the Championship, but he needs a year in the PL with Sheffield United before bringing him home.
He's got a release clause.

Improve the defence and go with Henderson. Got the right attitude from all I've seen of him.
Well she called it right with the Matic replacement thread didn't she?

If we go with Romero we will be looking for another keeper in the next transfer window. I don't know if Henderson is ready though, we have so many issues and brining a young keeper in front of that back 4 will be too much.
We need to go there and bring someone in, no idea who.
Nobody is spending that money on DDG with a year left on his contract. We'd frankly do well to get £40m.
Okay mate. Maybe Real will sign Hazard for £35m this year too.
Cilissen’s not a bad suggestiom, actually. Solid, no frills type of goalkeeper, knows what it means to play in the top and under pressure, seems to have his head on his shoulders, not too expensive (about 30M max, I understood).
My main question would be which club would sign DDG for that ridiculous fee? Most top clubs seem to have that position figured out at the moment. Real have more pressing issues than signing just another GK?

How is he obtainable, are we talking release clause? Supposedly around £129m, recently signed a new contract. Lives in Madrid, plays in the CL, in a brand new stadium, playing for a title challenging side, with real top quality players. I think the idea of moving to Manchester United, will be a hard sell.
Good enough for who? A title challenging side, a top 4 side or a side that’ll likely finish 6th? Romero is a number 2, for a reason.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Henderson is quite tough mentally, and that goes a long way. Yes he would make some mistakes but I wouldn't worry about him. Get Frans Hoek in as the GK coach or any other great coach and he will be fine.
Romero + Henderson if it comes to it. Getting Oblak in and De Gea out for a massive loss would be a bad use of resource.
What club do you see paying anything worth De Gea's value?
Dont think Oblak is obtainable. He would reject us.
Now is not a great time to buy Goalkeepers. I dont think there are many good ones available. The likes of Pickford, Onana, Meret, Lopes, Schmeichel, Butland or Lafont? Not sure about any of them. I would stick with Henderson and Romero and improve our CBs and fullbacks.

The one thing, OGS said he wants to avoid. Doesn’t want players who are driven by money.
No one, but I see DDG's worth being £120m+.
So id take £80m. And Juve or PSG can pay it. Don't care who. If they want him, pay it.
Or get him on a free next year.
Oblak but if I were him I won't risk my career by joining United.
Hasn’t he just signed a new deal too? Complete non-starter.
That's alright, Ole will be gone soon.
Anthony Lopes from Lyon is really good, but our fans only want high profile players.
We don't need to spend big money for a keeper. It's not worth it when we have more pressing needs. Let's find a modern GK we can develop. I like the ajax keeper and there's probably some more.
Romero would be exposed as a number one, I doubt he’d cut it at Wolves or Watford let alone here.
If De Gea does go you’d probably have to go with him though as money needs to be spent elsewhere. Might be hard persuading Henderson to stick around as backup.

The pressure of coming into this underperforming team will be insane. Not only that, he's replacing a top class keeper despite his form this season. But the biggest problem is our defence, I don't have faith in the current ones and we don't know who we're going to bring in this summer.
A great keeper is the icing on the cake. I’d be happy with Romero protected by a world class defence.
I'd have the right attitude if you told me I could play for United, my ability might be what lets me down though.
Henderson is good, but the shouts for him to come into the Prem and start are a bit crazy, especially considering in De Gea we know how vital having a WELL above average GK can be
Tom Heaton, enough Said - 25M and a United Fan
Try to get Oblak or Ter Stegen. An impossible task really, so failing that try and get the best young goalkeeper in the world (whoever that is). Similar to when we signed De Gea. If this wonderkid of a keeper isn't better than Henderson, then stick with Henderson and Romero.
What's Lafont like these days? Heard lots of talk about him being the next best thing when De Gea was last out the door.
I've not seen much of Henderson, but his record with the Blades is pretty amazing considering how attacking a team they are. If he's got the potential we'd be silly not to give him a year I'd say, especially considering Oblak's cost/assumed lack of motivation to leave Atletico.
Just please don't let it be Courtois.
