So with Henderson signing a 6 year deal with does that leave Sergio?
He’s been a back up keeper for the majority of his career, I’m sure he’s content to swap being no2 to no3. If we want to keep him, that is.So with Henderson signing a 6 year deal with does that leave Sergio?
Or you could be a united fan and believe that a player should love to be at united no matter their position in the hierarchy. He’s been a fantastic professional and I wish him all the best - he deserves to be a number 1 for a lesser club.Sergio has been content to be second best so he is right where he deserves to be. Third best.
If you want to be number 1 you don't accept number 2 like Romero has all these years.
He's on ridiculous salary. He won't leave.Still think he was waiting for De Gea to feck off for a chance to prove himself. Great worker for the club.
No I don’t think so. He’s happy to be a no 2, and it’s a role he thrives at.Still think he was waiting for De Gea to feck off for a chance to prove himself. Great worker for the club.
Thats a very unthankful post.Sergio has been content to be second best so he is right where he deserves to be. Third best.

I’d love if he joins Chelsea to be number 1. He’s nowhere near good enough to be a top 4 keeper so if Chelsea are playing him it’s only good news for us.I'd hate it if he joins Chelsea. Miles better than what they've got.
You sure about that?I’d love if he joins Chelsea to be number 1. He’s nowhere near good enough to be a top 4 keeper so if Chelsea are playing him it’s only good news for us.
Think he's low key one of the best goalkeepers in the premier League and better than everything they've got there.I’d love if he joins Chelsea to be number 1. He’s nowhere near good enough to be a top 4 keeper so if Chelsea are playing him it’s only good news for us.
Controversial opinion, but Romero has to be one of the most overrated players on here. I usually argue against players that I don't like, which this makes it difficult as I actually like Romero and think that he has done a fantastic job for us. Yet, his performances, that usually happened against significantly inferior sides in cups, led some fans to believe that he can easily project this form on a whole season, which is not true. Like with all those late-sub goalscorers that have a fantastic goal per 90 minutes ratio, his stats are inflated due to a relatively small sample and a relatively low quality of the opposition.You sure about that?
Being 'third choice Charlie' is no good at all to a keeper of Sergio's calibre. He obviously should be playing in the first team of a club and IMHO he's better than most currently in the EPL so obviously should move on - either to another EPL club or abroad. It is widely suggested that he could go to the Villa in a part trade with cash for Jack Grealish which would make sense from the United point of view. Whether Villa are prepared to let Grealish go is another matter, equally do the Villa need another goalkeeper? All will no doubt be revealed should Woodward ever pull his finger out from up his arse and get on with things.....So with Henderson signing a 6 year deal with does that leave Sergio?
Did I say he wasn't a fantastic professional?Or you could be a united fan and believe that a player should love to be at united no matter their position in the hierarchy. He’s been a fantastic professional and I wish him all the best - he deserves to be a number 1 for a lesser club.
Romero has been handsomely paid for doing next to nothing in a United shirt and you want me to lick his face?Thats a very unthankful post.
Great insight.State of this post
Very good post and you make a lot of great points. I'm guilty of overrating any player I enjoy watching, I can't judge his spells as number 1 for other clubs as I don't know enough about them, but Romero's been impressive every time I've been to see him play. He's definitely got some strengths that de Gea doesn't have, so perhaps it's watching for the things he CAN do rather than realising the things he can't that makes me rate him so highly.Controversial opinion, but Romero has to be one of the most overrated players on here. I usually argue against players that I don't like, which this makes it difficult as I actually like Romero and think that he has done a fantastic job for us. Yet, his performances, that usually happened against significantly inferior sides in cups, led some fans to believe that he can easily project this form on a whole season, which is not true. Like with all those late-sub goalscorers that have a fantastic goal per 90 minutes ratio, his stats are inflated due to a relatively small sample and a relatively low quality of the opposition.
The last season when Sergio Romero had played as a number 1 was in 2012/13, and that was for Sampdoria that got promoted to Serie A in a previous season. After that he had lost a starting place at Sampdoria, got loaned out to Monaco, failed to establish himself there, got back to Sampdoria and spent another season on the bench. His career for the national team is relatively impressive, but he doesn't have any even remotely decent competition there – and for context I'll mention Marcos Rojo, who had also reached three international finals with Argentina as a starter. I don't think that I need to comment on Rojo's ability.
You can think that he's a keeper that is good enough to be a starter for one of the top-4 teams, which would make him, by default, one of the best keepers in the world, but there's no evidence at all to support this opinion. Facts are, he hadn't been a starter for almost a decade, and haven't been able to become a first choice in recently promoted Sampdoria and Monaco.

I totally agree. He is extremely overrated. One of the most overrated United players ever. Can't believe people actually rate him as a top-class keeper, I sometimes wonder if they have ever seen him throw himself? Like a falling tree. There is a reason he never has been number one, like ever... And people think that Chelsea would buy him and he would be number one there, Jesus.Controversial opinion, but Romero has to be one of the most overrated players on here.

I think your self-fellacio is already sufficient for you.Romero has been handsomely paid for doing next to nothing in a United shirt and you want me to lick his face
