6ft 1. Not massive for a keeper.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Well the positive thing about the Romero blooper is that we have caught it before the end of the window. Imagine we had another clean sheet and then against Liverpool he lets a couple of howlers in, LVG would have to go crawling to Valdes, if he stays. Its no wonder hes never been a first team regular throughout his 'illustrious' career.
Explore what? Fact is there is only one keeper that would be an improvement/on par with DDG in the world. No one coming in would have matched up to him, so I'm not understanding your point?
he made some penalty saves. excellente.
De Gea wasn't 'De Gea Standard' when he joined. We are basically trying to get anyone who is better than Romero in. Navas is better, fine, but no-one would say he any more than a solution for this season only.
De Gea was always leaving. I think we may have played our hand very well.... assuming LvG actually wanted Navas.
Personally, I would be very happy with Navas, again, assuming the lad wants to come.
Some in here need a reality check.

Any reports saying he is included in De Gea deal though?
Well if we sold DDG for £30 without Navas, then I think people would accept that. But considering we have Navas too, I'm not sure why it is such a mess like you say. I think it'd a good deal all things considered.
From what I've seen of him, which admittedly isn't very much, I'm pleased. I don't see the need to go for a new goalkeeper to be completely honest. Especially having just bought Casilla aswell.
Real Madrid fans were chanting his name when they were winning 5-0. The most fickle fans in the world chanting their goalkeepers name when their attacking force is having a field day. That must mean something, right?
All the english reports are saying it.
He's a good keeper. Good deal for us. Stupid so late though.
He was brilliant in the world cup, no idea how good he normally is though.
Still, he can't be worse than Romero so that's a plus.

Seriously... Let him stay where he is. He is dog doo doo... I'd rather we get that Dutch kid. The man punches everything. If there is one thing i've learnt about LVG. He can't pick a good keeper for shit.
Spectacular and with good reflexes,it would be a great choice
Cheers lads.
Sounds promising if we get him then. Still, I doubt he's a patch on Dave.
Imagine we had got Cillessen in and not Navas. Theres no-one out there we could have got even if we had sold DDG last month. DDG is probably in the top 3 keepers in the world. Navas is a far better alternative to anyone we could have got in.
I read some comments elsewhere from Madrid supporters who feel the exact way you do. What's gonna happen if Dave doesn't hit the ground running? Won't fans be pissed off?
Hes much more reliable than Romero. What's concerning is his ability to communicate with his back line. Hows his English??
Keylor Navas reaches agreement with Manchester United. The tico will have new club information in @PuroDeporteLN @nacion
So everyone panicked about Cilessen but we have people panicking over Navas.
His propensity to punch rather than catch could be an issue in the PL
No idea how about Navas. I'll just be glad to have someone else besides Romero in goal if this proves to be true.
He was one of the best performing keepers in La Liga during the 13/14 season. Courtois was perhaps the only keeper better than him that campaign. He should have played over Casillas last season IMO but like Madrid have shown with Raul, Guti and Casillas amongst others, they have a tendency to keep playing their legends well past their expiry date. He had a strong World Cup and played a very good game at the weekend there too. It is hard to say for sure how good he is now because he hasn't played much in the past year (even though he should have played over Casillas last season IMO) but if he can still perform regularly like he did in 13/14 and at the last World Cup then he is a very good shot-stopper (although claiming crosses and dominating his area is not his strong point so perhaps not ideal for the Premier League).
Thanks for the info mate. Appreciate it.
Have you even watched him play? Hes a very good keeper and an upgrade on what we have and that includes Valdes.
He would have been all over Gomis well before he would get that pass for Swansea's 2nd goal.
That's one of the most important aspects of goalkeeping skills in the Premiership. I'm already panicking.
A wheelchair user would have moved quicker than Romero
Yeah... He punches everything and makes saves for camera's.
DDG was pretty poor when he first started but he learned
He's far better at it then Romero though so it's still an improvement in every way (though obviously a huge downgrade on dave).
Camera's what?
Yes but at least he makes saves and means we don't spend any money on a GK and overpaying excessively. Romero as first choice is woeful at best.
Just saw the video. You're right it's concerning.
Handling crosses will come with coaching, DDG was crap at it at first, too.
At least Mike Smalling will be able to give cover.
If no don't know what that means.. I suggest you watch football.
