Butland?
Point?
Certainly, he played twice in EPL games for us.
What the flib?
Forgot Rio?
Some wonderful and ridiculous goalkeepers.
And it’s saying a lot when O’Shea wasn’t even the worst.

Now for the next thread in the series, "CMs in my lifetime, before Mount (because Mount isn't a CM)"
GB wanted to see if he could remember all the United goalkeepers in his time supporting the club.
Now that it's clear he can't, we will no longer consider him a "Top Red".
Look forward to O'Shea appearing in that one as well.
Seriously?
love the fact that fergie had little to zero patience with goalkeepers. dave wouldve had been binned 4-5 years earlier under him.
Preceding not proceeding.
Some of these keepers definitely had a golden blunder in them, occasionally
I don’t understand this thread
I did wonder if the thread was inspired by this quiz I saw the other day, but maybe not

Been meaning to do it since Onana was signed. A look at some of the characters that have been custodians of the goal. Some good and not so good memories to stimulate conversation which doesn’t include moaning about Mount, murtough, if Højlund is good enough, greenwood and all the other toxic threads doing the rounds
It’s good that you made a post per goalkeeper because otherwise I wouldn’t have understood where one goalkeeper finished and the next started
1. There is a limit to the amount of photos per post
2. It’s easier to quote whichever one is the keeper you’re talking about
Wow three reasons then!
Maybe you’re right @Pexbo
maybe I’m silly for trying to get people to talk about something different for a change.
hey go ahead and talk in the same toxic threads Infinity

I remember just how bleak our GK situation was post Schmikes and up until VDG. Fecking desperate at times.
First thing I would do on Champ Manager was sign Sebastian Frey or Santiago Canizares, if I wanted to waste my entire budget I'd sign Toldo.

Hadn’t heard of Turner or Digby before so I actually learned something from this 
I always used to sign the mental Paraguayan who scored free kicks, can’t remember his name now
So Onana is our second black goalkeeper after Rio?
Rio Ferdinand, goalkeeper to the stars
I did on Pro Evo 1 & 2. Chilavert was his name.
Tim Howard?
That’s him
Oh, forgot about Timmy, legend.
why we didn't go for him when he was leaving juventus ?
I think we were looking at him but I remember the fee at the time (£12m or something) was insane for a GK
its a shame.. we would have won more trophies if he didn't go to fullham and waste his time.
Same reason no other big club did I think. He pretty much shat the bed at Juve, his stock was very low.
So I googled it and it seems the previous world record fee for a GK in 2001 when he left Juventus was Peruzzi from Inter to Lazio the year before (2000) for £15,7m, before that the WR for a keeper was Pagliuca from Sampdoria to Inter for £7m in 1994.
Van Der Sar went for £7m to Fulham, which would puts him in the most expensive keepers ever category of the time, but in the same year Buffon went to Juventus from Parma for £33m which is why VDS left Juventus in the first place.
You've done a good thing. That's the problem with Pexbo and all of the other snowflake liberal ***** on this forum; they're always bringing agendas into the discussion for no reason.
I'd have left Barthez out, on the grounds that he was an utter clown. Drive me absolutely barmy and I said on day one he would be a disaster area
This thread makes me feel very old... I can remember far too many before Chris Turner (who, I felt, was very underrated just because he was only 3ft 2in tall!). Stepney/Paddy Roche anybody? Roche was The Doc's blindspot...
Who is our best back up keeper of all time? Sealey? Van Der Gouw? Lindegaard? Romero?
I think Van der Gouw or is that just me being sentimental?
