Oblak? hahahaha...we're dreaming.
We're getting Pickford for £100 million and £600,000 a week wages.

"De Gea reluctant to commit"
Also explains most of his mistakes this season and problems with crosses

Sorry??
Exactly.
Knew there was a reason why we bought Grant last Summer.
You spelled Atletico incorrectly. I think that's what he pointed out.
Maybe it has to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Id sell DDG tomorrow for Oblak.
Reflex keepers seem to regress overnight. Its really worrying that Davids super reflex saves are happening less and less often. Especially at his age.
Is that you,Jose ?
Goalkeepers are not that important. Any old half decent one will do.
Expected goals is more or less as expected given the chances created against us.
But he pulled them out of the bag every week
Now he's a solid keeper who makes a fantastic save every now and then. That's not what made him special
Urrrgggh...fecking Pickford.
Please no.
Hopefully Dave can bide his time for Mourinho to get booted out but I'm not hopeful anymore.

De Gea is a club legend entering the prime of his career yet I would take him leaving if it meant the club woke up and smelled the coffee. He should go anyway, a player of his calibre should be winning trophies.
Meh, it's fine margins. Last season was an anomaly. If we stop giving away so many clear cut chances, opposition will score less goals.
The only problem with Pickford is that he’d cost more than what we’ll get for De Gea.
How’s Joel Pereira doing on loan? He’s supposed to be quite talented isn’t he?
Wouldn’t mind trusting Romero for a season and see from there, he very very rately let us down. Super cool keeper.

Keeper wouldn't be a pressing problem for us. I would like to see heavy investment in quality defense. Anyways, we still have De Gea tied down till 2020.
I would say the larger problem with Pickford is the fact he’s not fit to lace DDG’s gloves, so to speak.
For what it’s worth, I think that it’s staggering how people dismiss the importance of a goalkeeper. Particularly when, as United supporters, we’re uniquely placed to understand how much a good goalie can elevate a mediocre team.
Nah, feck Pereira. If we sell De Gea to PSG as the rumours flying about say, I would much rather we gave Henderson a chance. He's playing very well at Sheffield United. Pereira has been well average whenever I've seen him
I’m not dismissing the importance of a keeper, nor do I want to lose De Gea, but the reality of the situation is that he’s most probably going to leave.
So I’m trying to think on what we do next, paying 100m for Oblak would be a horrible decision in my book. A WC keeper is important to an already good and cohesive side, we’re nowhere near that.
I would rather a very good keeper instead of a WC one and spend that money more wisely.
De Gea will be missed but that not as much as you think.
Henderson has been class this season and last, would love to see him in the mix
Yeah, there was a pro direct interview with him recently, got stacks of ambition and backing it up with great performances at Sheffield Utd.
I might be a bit torn if they come up, as for what's best for him, stay there or come and compete at United. I'd love him to be a real no. 1 contender for us.
Have to say I have given him up, and totally expect him to leave next summer for PSG. We've had a good run, and he has stayed far longer than we could ever have hoped for. I got some sense of hope a year ago though, when the new contract rumours started to emerge, but the team is still underperforming to its real potential, and De Gea is that one player that has outclassed every player in the squad in these post SAF years,and in this way he is totally deserving a move, in my opinion. He has been class off the field, as soon as the Madrid thing was over, too. I'll forever keep my De Gea jerseys and use them proud. It has been a pleasure.
Really hoping Kasper Schmeichel is the one to replace him btw, or maybe Buffon comes to Old Trafford if/when David leaves for Paris?

Romero is comfortably a better keeper than Kasper Schmeichel.
Its no coincidence that we have so many mediocre players scrambling to sign new contracts, and our best and most talented guys are stalling and perhaps looking elsewhere.
Get rid of Jose and I guarantee these lads like mata, martial, de gea etc will sign up. These mediocre lads like young, smalling, fellaini, jones etc, they know at another top club they would never be getting a contract extension. So you don't blame them really. Thats all on jose and whoever else makes these decisions.
I genuinely feel sorry for Dave.. He carries the team all the time, and deserves better than to be dealing with this absolute garbage football of Jose right now.

Really?? Schmeichel or Buffon? Christ.
Yep. Makes sense doesn't it.
If I was DeGea I would be also looking for a move. He has reached maturity and he has won the PL, FA Cup, Europa(not playing though) and the league cup too. Now he needs the CL and he is not going to get it at Manchester United. Certainly not in the next two to three years. So why not move back home or to Paris where the chances are much better to win the CL and at the same time get a better quality of life than Manchester?
He did win the Europa League playing for Atletico in 2010.
I disagree, but I hope you’re right.
You can't fault him for trying to win at least one more major trophy. He's already 28.
Look on transfermarkt.com. There's a stack load of our players reaching the end of their contracts this season and next.
Without looking up which I'd say get rid of most of them. And no more 50 million pound replacements Jose till you eat your greens!
that cos we have a lot of older players on shorter contracts and extensions
We've already got Dave's position covered. Wouldn't need any additional funds, an excellent deputy and a wonderful prospect on loan at Sheff Utd to choose from.
We don't know that yet, he's using his pressure tactics, and seeing where things are going with us.

Its years of excellence though.
We've been trying to press out a bit more this year which means we're not really defending for 90 minutes in a low block which forces the opposition to shoot from further out that feeds right into Davids reflex saves.
Now they're working the ball closer to goal which means David has more decisions to make and I really think it confuses him. My abiding memory so far is of David not even attempting to save shots. Just standing there flat footed as the ball sails past him.
I'm not saying he could save any of them but David in the past made ridiculous saves by diving for shots that logic said were impossible to get to.
The stats don't back up any of the things you are claiming though. Especially the bit about forcing the opposition to shoot from further out.
If there was a vast difference between expected goals and goals, where we were leaking goals left and right without letting the opposition create chances, then it would be somewhat worth looking at as all of them can't be screamers into the top corner but with a low expected goals multiplier. But we've more or less let in the goals we are expected to let in given the chances the opposition is creating, and that's the worry.
I'm watching the games though, stats don't tell the story.
Goals conceded is a stat..
Thanks for that,had no clue what he was talking about!
