Do you think Lloris is not error prone? The guy had so many errors last season that I lost count. He isn't all that what is being made out at all. At least Romero was free.

Most of the criticism he gets is unreasonable. No he is no De Gea and no he may not be on the level of Lloris. But blaming him for a double deflection makes zero fecking sense. That is just taking the piss for the sake of it.
He may seem to be somewhat shaky at times, but he has made good saves and little mistakes. Ofcourse his distribution could be better, but it isnt a disaster either. If DDG had the exact same performances the past 3 games as Romero had nobody would have been on the he is playing awful bandwagon. On top of that, he needs some time to adjust and gain confidence or have we already forgotten the first two seasons of David?
Also the communication between our defenders will and must get better. We have an entirely new defense, which is also rather young. I have the utmost faith in them, they deserved it with how they have been playing the past games.

He doesn't even look shaky. All he does is look for a pass and then try and play it instead of lumping it out. I can pretty much guarantee that if it was De Gea putting in the exact same performances there would be nothing said about our goalkeeper. He can't win no matter what at the minute due to the situation he was brought into.
He has done pretty good so far.
yesterday's goal is hardly his fault.

iirc, the speed of the ball changed drastically, I think that the grass was higher, close to the goals.
Exactly. I know it's only a couple of games but if he carries on in the same form then he could save us a boatload of cash.
I'll take a free Romero over a 30M Lloris (who's not even world class) anytime
Valdes is a far better keeper than Romero and it's absurd to me why he isn't playing.
He's impressed me when I've seen him. He's one of the best keepers in the league for me.
And you're entitiled to your opinion. Whether he's "world class" - whatever that actually means - He's miles better than Romero.
Seems clear that Romero is going to have lapses in concentration, hence why he's not been a regular for a while. In watching United for years it seems that we win things with quality keepers and don't with dodgy keepers. Just like most good sides.
As I said above the relationship between the keeper and back four is based on trust and without it the defensive unit doesn't work half as well.
And if Lloris isn't what you want, what about Cech moving for a song earlier in the summer? My point was that this could have been solved months ago one way or another. The fact that it hasn't is another example of the club's inability to be decisive when it's needed.
It's so frustrating as a fan. It took years to get a decent reliable keeper in Van Der Sar. Then we get De Gea and make progress - and now we're lumbered with a cast off from a mid table side in Italy. United should be better than that frankly. It's one step forward two back.

Romero was bought as a replacement for Valdes, we can't make our new number one signing until the DDG situation is resolved. This is the only reason Romero is playing, but props where they are due, he's done very well. I'd still rather have him as number one for a season than spend a fortune on a soon to be 29 year old and overrated Lloris. Im pretty sure Romero won't be our number one unless he really impresses. He's not as bad as people like you make him.
Lloris is not overrated. He's excellent.
I strongly disagree. Is he worth 25-30M? Excellent is what DDG, Courtois and Neuer are. Lloris is not even close
Yes.
Lloris was better than Courtois last season.
About Romero, he has been very good for us since his arrival. Very happy with his performances.
We're not signing him
I never said we were.

There are more mistakes. Vs city for the aguero goal , another goal vs Stoke where he got beaten when the guy was 2 inches from him or so. He isn't all that world class at all.
Looked to me like he was just daydreaming there. He initially took a step backwards when the ball was played back to him. If that had led to a goal, I'd be much more upset with Romero than Darmian. Bit ironic as the reason he's in there is due to DDG's supposed inability to focus and concentrate 100%.
he has been more than okay imo.
still hoping de gea will stay though.

Another huge howler against Stoke last game but he was lucky it wasn't punished. I'll be very annoyed if we replace DDG with feckin' Lloris.Last season.

Yeah Lloris is dodgy. Comes off his life when he really shouldn't and ends up in no mans land.
Lloris is overrated, he fancies himself as a sweeper keeper yet can't play that role at all, not to mention he has far too many mistakes in him.
One day he'll scuff a back pass and it'll roll into the net. Like an 80% chance.
And that's fine - he's a perfectly able number 2. But as it stands De Gea has been frozen out along with Valdes, leaving him the only viable option with a couple of weeks left in the window.
If you'd rather have the money in the bank than a better number 1 then fair enough. I personally think relying on a substandard keeper is asking for trouble. Teams will identify the weak link and go after it. And we'll make no progress from where we were last year.
The bottom line for me is that it's been obvious since last year that De Gea wanted away and wouldn't sign a new deal. The club needed to set a deadline past which he wouldn't be allowed to go - instead it looks like he'll go even if we can't find a replacement leaving us short in a key position yet again.
With each passing day it's looking increasingly likely that De Gea will stay beyond the transfer window, but LVG is being careful and giving Romero some experience in case De Gea does leave. Im pretty sure that after September 1 DDG will reclaim his place in the team, but Romero will be given more chances too during the season
You hope it happens too don't you? Just so you can tell us 'I told you so'.
Depends what you believe in the press. It seems he can go if United's demands are met. Do you think the club will turn down £25 million and watch him walk for free? I personally doubt it.
My point is that it shouldn't be getting to this stage. If it's too late to find a replacement then it's too late to sell him and that should be that.
It would be madness to sell DDG at this point.

So basically he wants to sit on the bench for the year?

How so?
Well that's probably the wrong way to look at what he said. He's hardly going to come out and say he hopes De Gea leaves is he?
He should probably just not have said anything?
Although Romero hasnt put a foot wrong till now I think we should get another nr. 1 or he shouldnt be one to put it differently. DDG is still our nr. 1, Madrid doesnt want to pay what we ask for and even if they do it now it's too late for us to buy another keeper.
I think DDG is on his way out, i don't see him getting back into the team, and I'm not too bothered about it anymore - he has served the club well and we should be able to cash in on him.
Romero has been shaky in every match and i expect him to make a couple of blunders this season, he isn't perfect but he will do for now, we still have a young Johnstone, an experienced Lindergaard and Valdes (yes,Valdes), Valdes and Romero would look so much better if he can just come to an understanding with LVG, he really hasn't done anything to suggest is he not good enough.
Signing Lloris is still an option too.
Valdes didnt get a number and he's practically out of the club although he's still on our books.
You think we could sign Lloris this late in the TW?
I'm sorry, but what?
People imagine and predict he's shaky, so he must be shaky, regardless of what actually happens in real life.
Makes sense.
He probably blames him for the Carrick OG.
Michael Owen was giving him the majority of the blame, this should tell you all you need to know about that situation.
Shaky not bad, and no I haven't blamed him for anything don't put words in my mouth.
He has been good but at certain moments in all our games he has been shaky, which is perfectly normal but it doesn't mean I won't mention it, I was actually happy with the signing and I have no problem with him starting for us.
I don't think we can get Lloris this late,still a possibility though.
As for Valdes, I guess he is truly on his way out of the club, want him to stay though.
