So glad that we upgraded him.
Yep, De Gea was widely known for his ability to play under pressure and not make mistakes.So glad that we upgraded him.

Doesn't change the fact that neither of them are of the required standardOnana in half of season made more mistakes than De Gea did in years.

Point is that we managed to downgrade De Gea and we spent 50 million for that pleasure.Doesn't change the fact that neither of them are of the required standard
He was out of contract. The contract that was ultimately pulled was for far longer than one year. So that's not a realistic scenario.Point is that we managed to downgrade De Gea and we spent 50 million for that pleasure.
We needed new gk but it was not alarming issue. It could have wait one more year.
You might want to rewatch this then to refresh your memory then. Mind you this skips the disaster class against SevillaOnana in half of season made more mistakes than De Gea did in years.

Agreed. De Gea was a known entity and it was clear he wasn't good enough anymore.Why are we talking about De Gea? The guy has been a free agent for like half a year and still doesn't have a club. That should tell us everything about where he's at.
Onana may be the next Barthez rather than the next Schmeichel but that doesn't mean we should've stuck with De Gea. It just means we might've done better going after a different replacement.
"We could have done a lot of other things" is the argument I've been making. Somehow people keep bringing up DDG as if he was the only alternative.We could have triggered the 1 year in his existing contract, we could have gone with the actual free upgrade available which was to promote Kovar who is twice the keeper Onana is, we could have done a lot of things other than blow 50M on acquiring some new Cameroonian deadwood who is going to be warming the bench for the bulk of his contract. I just wish AFCON began tomorrow and ran until 2028.

We absolutely could not have waited. He was a liability and was getting worse. He could still pull off the odd worldie which seemed to convince people he still had it when he was one of the worst in the league.
Bizarrely, given the howlers in the CL Onana is statiscally one of the best keepers in the PL.
De Gea isn’t better than Onana at all. People have nostalgia goggles on and are blatantly forgetting his errors from the last 3/4 seasons at United. He was great in his time but now isn’t able to find a club.The team in charge of our transfers have made one signing that has improved the team in 5 years. Bruno.
There was zero chance they would get the right goalie, especially as every one of ten hags chosen men has been utterly hopeless. All of them.
De Gea had issues, but hes better than Onana. And he was ALWAYS going to be better than anything our management team could dredge up.

Clownio BravoI hate to say I told you so
But we wanted our own Claudio Bravo.
