And no other club was in for De Gea but that does not make him a lesser keeper.
Navas is better keeper than Romero. The only issue he might have is with crosses. I hope he will adapt quickly.

Adored by Madrid fans but average? Yeah
That's why its a terrible decision. Accepting now means we have literally two options. Our number one keeper for the foreseeable uture should be something we spend a lot of time on not get Real's castoffs.
I'm not giving up on Romero after 1 bad match after he had 3 decent, yet admittedly shaky, ones. Navas, I'll give the benefit of the doubt as well. De Gea was leaving for sure. Is replacing De Gea with Navas the same as replacing Ronaldo with Valencia? We'll have to wait and see.
Trapp could have been better. I'd seen a bit from him, which I liked and met some Frankfurt fans in a pub over there during the summer and they completely convinced me of him. He's good at what van Gaal and Hoek want from their keeper, namely being good with the ball at his feet. He's physically strong as well.
Other than that, I could only name potentially good goalkeepers.
Do you think we'd never heard of him before he joined Madrid?
Lets be honest has he made one decent save? Everytime someone shoots he looks beat unless its right at him.
I've been following Ancelotti long before you did. He would rather leave that stick to that type of shit. Hence why he showed Berlusconi the middle finger this summer despite he offered him crazy money to sign. Ancelotti would stick to Neylor if he believed he was good enough. Rafa is the synonymous of a confrontational manager. He fought his way out at Valencia, Liverpool and Inter. If he believed that Navas was good enough than he would have sticked to him. He didnt do so and for good reason as DDG is 10 times better the keeper Navas is
We're going in circles here so lets say to agree to disagree. However ask this to yourself. Was Keylor your no 1 choice to replace DDG? I much doubt it
Frans Hoek, go earn your money
Is he flying over for his medical?
This signing is fecking mental in my opinion. Another erratic South American GK. Will be delighted to be proven wrong but we saw this coming for over a year when the contract offers were being turned down. The solution is taking Madrids keeper off their hands? Absolute bollocks. Sign fecking Lloris at the start of the window or something don't wait until the last minute for the player Madrid want to throw on the recycling pile.
I'm sure we've had a master plan to get Navas in for years and we've played a blinder here and Real don't realise we've got everything we want.
No one was for him because it was bloody evident that he had agreed personal terms with Real. It would be ridiculous to move in under such circumstances.
I agree with your second part. However in my opinion United should have ended up with a better keeper than Keylor
You think Benitez went to Perez and said "Navas isn't good enough, we need to make De Gea our #1 priority!"? Really? Wow. You've lost it.
Atleast its not Jasper "Bean Pole" Cillessen.
The hysterics on here is bizarre. I asked a simple question...
Yep, signing Spurs' best player is always that simple. They're a great club to do business with. Never goes right to the last day.
I'm assuming you mean Romero? Well yeah, he looks shaky. I guess I'm the only one who thinks we've got Navas and Romero now, for not a lot of money, but they make LvG happy apparently, and now it's all up to Hoek and LvG to prove it. These ideas that we could've got other GKs like Lloris simply ignore what it would cost to get that GK. Tottenham don't mess about. Lloris would've cost a fortune. Leno and Oblak not sure how much, but I bet it wouldn't be cheap.
Adored? The guy has played 10 games for them....
He went to on live TV, asking Moratti to buy 6 players in the January transfer so he can change the treble winning side completely and shape it to his image.
I repeat was he your no 1 choice to replace DDG?
Is there any news of us actually signing him? Or are we just going on speculation that he'll be part of the DDG deal..which itself is still speculation?
Sounds as if the guy didn't even want to come here.. Not the kind of player I want at the club.
Ive been away for awhile so have we signed keylor navas then? I can't find anything on skysports.
Yeah confirmed by almost everyone he's part of the deal.
Or he didn't want to leave Madrid. Not the same thing.
Perhaps adored was a little strong
They still very much rated him, cheering his every touch says something about the player.
It's a Perez signing and it would've happened no matter who was there. No-one can seriously argue otherwise. It's just pure see-through agenda-fuelled nonsense at your end I'm afraid.
He was one of a number of choices that I'd have reluctantly taken because everyone we could've signed is a step down. If we have to accept that de Gea was always going to leave then yes, absolutely, I'm happy with Navas. You can find me calling him the best keeper in La Liga in the first page of this thread. The idea that Cech's a level above him is laughable to me and you can find me saying things to that effect before Navas even moved to Madrid.
I could point to the double standards of you dismissing Navas as a Madrid #2 and at the same time lauding Arsenal's signing of Chelsea's #2 - and let's not forget he was #2 behind Courtois who, just a season earlier, was named the 2nd best keeper in the league behind...yep, you guessed it, Keylor Navas - but I won't do that.
The question is - does Rooney rate him?
His name begins with K, so quite possibly.
I see him as the typical world class shot stopper (and nothing else). I've yet to see a goalkeeper like that succeed at United. I hope Im wrong though. Man United's success is more important than be proven right...always
I don't think anyone is arguing he's better than DDG, so of course given the option he'd pick DDG. Given the chance City would replace Aguero with Messi in a heartbeat, doesn't mean Aguero isn't a bloody good player.
he really softens the blow IMO
He looks to me a solid keeper who will do well for us hopefully
Certainly better than Romero anyways

Make excuses if you want. I didn't say getting top class players was easy but the best clubs get it done simple as that.
Id ask you the same thing i've asked Brwned. Was he your first choice to replace DDG?
I was pretty happy with the deal until I watched this video...
Lad looks like he couldn't catch a cold. He's surely better then Romero, mind. So thats a plus.

Are we taking their reject in exchange for Dave?
Selling De Gea last season would have been a massively stupid decision.
There was enough uncertainty at the club as it was, never mind selling one of the only positions we had a nailed on starter.
So you don't actually have any replacements in mind?
Your only considered outcome was to get De Gea to sign a new deal.
Oh christ
