If they're buying a new keeper does that mean Henderson's going back to man u and if so is de gea on his way out? Intriguing moves for sure

I don't think they'll have much luck shipping de Gea off anywhere with his insane wages, unless they do a Sanchez and just pay off the difference. But there's been talk of Henderson at least challenging for the number one shirt next season, which really is the bare minimum considering Dave's sharp decline.

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
Utd should have sold him to Real when they had the chance and not "hosed up the paper work"

Kinda funny to me, Romero is a very good keeper. I havent seen him make too many blunders. He could be a #1 in most other clubs I feel like.

He hasn’t been a number 1 anywhere for almost a decade, it’s bizarre.

First choice for Argentina and gets to be the best backup keeper in the world on United's bench. Decent work if you can get it.

I think the official line was always that he's fine when he only has to make limited appearances, but when he plays every game, the mistakes start to come up. Regardless he's been a very capable number 2, even when Dave turned into a huge pile of number 2.

I mean, the US is going to have Covid something bad for at least another 8 months, and Florida is one of the most hosed up parts of the country. I can see delaying the retirement drugs and stripper tour until 2022 or 2023 - and it helps that MLS is on a spring to fall rather than fall to spring schedule.

Florida has a lower death rate per capita than a ton of US states not to mention almost all of western europe

Plus he survived Dortmund doping (even though it killed his career in the end) so covid is nothing in comparison

Florida is a state with 21 million people , about 45% of spain and they have 50% more cases. They have a wooping infected to mortality rate of 1.6%, about a third of the world wide infected to mortality rate . I wouldnt trust those death numbers in any way, shape or form.canada has a ifr of 8%.


Meanwhile , Benfica also signed Luca waldschmidt from friburg for 15 million.
We might legit spend 100 million in new signings.

Good move for him. He needs regular game time.

I'd love it if he did he's such a poo poo house but he's 30 now so I'm not sure how much more improvement there is in him. That said he's spent most of his time among such defensive luminaries as Chris Smalling and Phil "I'm Phil Jones" Jones

Even if he just turns out to be decent he's still an option for a defence that is stretched thin for League Cup games or whatever. Maybe next time Maguire won't have to play for a few months through a hip injury with pain killer injections.

But then again considering how awful United's injury management is, he probably will.

Speaking of Smalling was Roma’s offer to buy him really that poor? He did well I think, and clearly is surplus at United.

Or did Roma not put in an offer? I don’t know how that went down other than that he left the club.

They were dragging their feet on a permanent deal. All the in the knowns are convinced a deal will be made and Smalling will be staying in Rome.

Meanwhile Ole's putting some fire under Woodward's rear end.

Joe Hart to spurs on a free as third choice keeper. Spurs are having homegrown quota issues.

Also it looks like Oliver Skipp is going on loan to Norwich for a season. Possibly a sweetner for max aarons.

You don't solve "homegrown quota issues" by signing a poo poo backup keeper who will never play. Might as well register a kid from the academy for that job. Or leave the spot blank.
