I agree that being a reserve makes any difference. However, any potential buyer knows that we have to sell and he wants to move on.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He hasn't played much to put a foot wrong, and when he does play it's usually against the lesser teams. If we get close to 30m I'd be amazed. Re your last point he's only played 7 times in the PL over 5 years so the buying club will be taking a risk.
33 for a GK isn't that old to be fair
Utd have never spent more than £150mil in a transfer window. So if we are to get one or two of the players mentioned, we are gonna have to recoup some funds. Romero is a fantastic keeper, but hes 33 and out of contract at end of season. So circa £10mil would be a good deal.
His games the last years have mostly been with less pressure than an first choice goalkeeper. In the end of the day he is a reserve, 33 years old with little experience being a first choice for a big club. 30 million is a fantasy fee for him. Getting 10-15 million for us is a superb deal imo.
That’ll be Thiago off to Liverpool now then.
Yeah fair enough, I guess you're right. Didn't consider a few things but I just rate him quite highly.

Talk of Fred to Roma on loan
It would be great business if we get anywhere around 8m for Romero and he is nothing more than above average keeper and he is not good enough for top 6 side as first choice .

Why on Earth would we do that ?
I also rate him. The buying club will be getting a really good goalkeeper. Hopefully we can shift more underperforming players like Lingard, Jones and Andreas also.

No. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice.

I’m surprised anyone takes the Thiago rumor seriously. He’s 29. We haven’t pursued an older player since JM’s departure.

It does seem like he may be for sale. Surprising.
More noise around Fred's potential exit. It would be very daft imo unless we get an offer too good to refuse.
0.15 mil EUR offer incoming ...

Agreed. Sancho for sure. It’s not even a debate.
If it’s Fred out and Thiago in, I think that’s a deal we’d all do.
Not sure what your definition of special is, but Hendersonwas one of the top keepers in the league and for a newly promoted side at that. He’s not yet DDG quality in my book, but many on here believe he’s already equal or better.
Romero is good for the types of games he starts. But starting in the PL weekly and he may struggle. Henderson is proven.
It's loan with obligation to buy. Their manager Fonseca worked with Fred at Shakhtar and is a fan.
Not sure how reliable this is but if it did happen would firmly get on the Thiago train.

4-4-2? I think Ole knows a thing or two about that.
Are we playing 442 diamond next season?
Yeah that's how I see it too.
Won the EL thanks to him.
We won't get 10M for Romero but if Villa wants him, we better quote a price as high as that just like they did with Grealish. Feck Villa
We'd be silly to loan him out.
Make room for Thiago maybe?
Ed seems to like to offer a 'Try before you buy' option it seems.
English clubs selling to each other inevitably results in above average fees, plus it's not as if he'd come back and haunt us

Penny pinchers stingy Roma cnuts. Always loaning players and then discarding or lowballing the idea to buy them after that. Let's hope Inter and Conte are interested and buys Fred outright
Inter are hardly any better
Don't you remember how long it took them to get Lukaku & Sanchez over the line? All Italian clubs love a bargain.As long as it gets done mate. Had enough of clubs like Roma loaning our players for a whole season and then offering a cheap warehouse price to buy outrightInter are hardly any better
Yeah that's true
