How good is that Dutch GK who's better than Tim Krul? You just know LVG will sign him.
Van Gaal won't sign a player simply because they are Dutch, he's a professional. I don't think Krul or any Dutch GK will be coming to United anytime soon.
Hugo Lloris

I have always thought Lloris has got a really nice interesting face, he has a very arty, clean cut, could never be angry, would look good dressed in old fashioned clothes sort of look about him.
He looks like he was born to wear a turtleneck
Yes that as well, he'd also work well in one of those men's perfume adverts.
feck that, we're better off signing a young up and coming keeper and keep Valdes for experience.
Sell DDG for £35m and buy Lloris for £30m....no thanks!!!
If we lose De Gea id ask for cash + Navas. I don't think people quite realize how good Navas really is. His reflexes are unbelievable.
Another clanger this weekend to let another goal in. Yeah he's a great shot
Stopper but way too inconsistent and has a mistake in him. Not the player we need IMO.

I hope he stays there for one more season so then we can snatch him up when Buffon (
) retires.
) retires.The Prem isn't quite as Stoke-y as it used to be, but would he handle the crosses well enough? He looks small. Interesting idea, though.
Leno is our man to get if dave leaves
Lloris is the worst option, he is the french Robert Green, one of the most shaky GK of the league.
He might need a little bit of adjustment period. He's a very good puncher though.
I have hardly seen Leno play how is his aerial ability? In the PL goalkeepers gets bombarded with crosses so our next goalkeeper should at least be descent in the air. Distribution is also something I think Van Gaal would have high up on his list when looking for a keeper.
He is definitely the only goalkeeper in the Premier League we should be after. Courtois is unattainable and Begovic I'm really not too sure about.
I'd love to see Lloris to come in and replace Dave, he's just as promising... but he'd cost a hell of a lot from Levy's Spurs.
Awful bit of business on our behalf letting De Gea's contract get so short anyway. I'd have said I'd only be happy letting him go for no less than £30-35m but that seems impossible now.

Don't know. I know he is good, and have seen him have good games. But always seems to have this 'last ditch' thing about him which gives me the impression that he is a bit shaky and instinctive than calculating and composed.
I read an interview Henry Winter has done with Brad Friedel earlier. It was quite an interesting read overall but this part stood out for me and has convinced more that Lloris should be our main target:
"Hugo and De Gea are very similar in their strengths in how quick they are. Hugo is outrageously quick on through-balls, very sharp off his line. He makes his mind up and he goes. De Gea’s reactions are very good as well.”

Let's just ignore all his inconsistencies then.
We'll end up paying more for him than we'll sell Dave for even though he's not nearly as good.
Lloris is someone I'm still quite unsure about. I always feel he has an error in him or plays too high risk for my liking. Not sure I'd be delighted about him being De Gea's replacement.
That's what happens when we make an ass of things!
Rather not have to deal with that bastard Levy.
We'll end up getting mugged

Agreed. There are other good options out there in places like Germany. No need to make that typical Premier League mistake of massively overpaying on an import already here.
He's the best GK in England after DDG and Courtois. He's also used to the league so we won't have to go through a shaky opening spell like we did with De Gea. I could understand if LVG wanted to go safe rather than gamble on a foreign import considering we don't have the most settled team and defense to begin with. DDG had the likes of Rio, Vidic and Evra as protection, I'm not sure I'd trust our already inexperienced back line to help bed in a GK from another league.
That's not guaranteed in the slightest. Plenty of players go through shaky spells at a new club and I'm far from convinced that arriving from another PL team makes it less likely. Look at some of Liverpool's recent signings like Mignolet and Lovren, they looked very solid at their previous PL clubs. Emre Can came from out of the league and seemed to settle in a lot better.
Lloris would be my first choice when De Gea goes. 70 million deal for Lloris and Kane could tempt Levy.
I hope it's Turkish Lira you're talking about. £70 million pounds for Lloris and Kane would be daylight robbery. Kane is still a massive unknown quantity really. He'll need to replicate this seasons form at least somewhat before big fees should be considered.
You must have watched a different Mignolet than I did, he was incredibly blunder prone at Sunderland. Lovren at Southampton wasn't much better.
Of course nothing's guaranteed, but it's far more likely considering his age and experience.
Mignolet and Lovren just weren't great signings to begin with.
Lovren I'm less sure on but there was plenty of wanking over Poccetino's Southampton players. Mignolet was looking good at Sunderland in my opinion, not good enough for a team like United but he played a big part in keeping Sunderland up if I remember correctly and he seemed like a reasonable buy for Liverpool at the time although it hasn't turned out that way.
I just think we really need to start spending more wisely. Doing excessive amounts of business within the inflated premier league market isn't that, it's bad enough having to do it to get English talents. There's such better value to be had shopping around Europe, rather than waiting for them to be brought in by someone else and then paying double the price down the road.
I'm struggling to think of many examples of successful transfers within the league in recent years really. Maybe I'm missing something really obvious but Sturridge is the only one that stands out.
That sums up my thoughts, he's probably the closest to DDG in terms of style as well, and the French national team GK so it's not as if he'll find the stage too big here.
The only issue would be dealing with Levy.
We could do a lot worse than Lloris. I don't feel comfortable when he comes out for the ball though.
There's no question we are going to get fleeced for de gea, 35m max. Its a game on contracts and his is almost up. Selling de gea and bringing in lloris is the best business we can hope to do sadly
Don't worry, we won't sell De Gea for £35m
This forum is great for nit picking. I remember Neuer's game getting picked apart by many on here when we were linked before he went to Bayern.
Lloris is an excellent keeper and we would struggle to get a better replacement.
How have we made an ass of things? If a player doesn't want to sign we can't make them.
