Christ.He was supposed to be number 1 if De Gea went.....
Christ.
But not according to David James.I called it once we signed him and yet, people actually got offended by it
He's always been rubbish!
No he wasn't.. LVG wanted Keylor Navas as a part of the swap.. Maybe the Swansea game changed his mind,but from what we know he definitely wasn't going to be number 1..He was supposed to be number 1 if De Gea went.....
But not according to David James.
I actually had a bad feeling for a split secound as he was making the back pass
A feeling something crazy was gonna happen. It was a mini premonition
Surely Navas though?He was supposed to be number 1 if De Gea went.....
how is he good no2, surely there are better no2s who don't look like having mistake in them.. Johnstone is great goalkeeper with big potential, so far we acquired two former spanish speaking goalkeepers, who were made our no2s while they have been massively overrated and never good enough being no2. This is the end of us if deGea's injured and Romero in the goal again.He is a good number 2. He actually reminds me of mignolet who is appalling in everything else other than shot stopping too.
Overreaction much. He's conceded 2 goals in 7 games. A lot of that has been thanks to himself. He's done well. Nothing wrong with him as a nr. 2.Lets just say we can't afford De Gea to get injured at all.

Just give the chance to Johnstone, he looked great in preseaon and before on loan but Van Gaal stil opts for his friends...

he plays his friends unless they are not much worse than other options, that's my view even though it's only half serious.. I agree with you with the first part but Johnstone is in my view more reliable goalkeeper, you can see Romero messed up in his last league game and this game did also horribl emistake, how you can paly such goalkeeper? apart one shot, that chip, it wsn't really big saves which average goalkeepers souldn't make... you just need reliable goalkeeper and I think young Johnstone should get a hance, it's not like he palys first team football for the first time, he played in championship... if franc hoek things, he looked very pleased with Johnstone in preseason, genuinely happy reading from his face. it's just a big risk for Van Gaal I guess, he coaches keepers not picking them to play. Van Gaal also thinks that Rooney should play all games and be a captain so if he feels he isn't ready to be dropped just yet he isn't?Generally no.2s are supposed to be very good shot stoppers. Nobody has a first choice like de gea and second choice like neuer. This is what every team has.
Frans Hoek is probably the one who is judging the keepers and if he feels Johnstone isn't ready, he isn't. The whole he plays his friends thing sounds made up nonsense. If that was the case, we would play Romero often.
