He's a solid keeper. I'd take Navas + cash at this point for DDG.Gotta admit, Keylor Navas looks mighty tempting after today.
I concur.

?I think Navas has the Barthez about him - good keeper (and better than Romero) and very athletic but you'd constantly be on the edge of your seat. Probably be a fan favourite and at least provide some entertainment though, ha!
Citeh have done arguably the best business though.Juve must surely be the most active team this window ?
I don't think Navas wants to come to us.I think Navas has the Barthez about him - good keeper (and better than Romero) and very athletic but you'd constantly be on the edge of your seat. Probably be a fan favourite and at least provide some entertainment though, ha!
Not if we bid €60m as a result.Wtf ? That's crazy from Monaco if true.
We've offered €55m for Martial. Monaco are still saying no.

He was the best keeper in the league before Madrid bought him.
What about him gives you Barthez vibes?You've ignored the part where I said he was a good keeper.
Apart from the deals we did early on, you mean?If this is true, it's a bit pathetic that it's come to this at the end of the window. Whatever happened to us doing all our business early on.

Who would they replace him with so late? He is super talented and on a new contract so his price tag would probably increase or stay the same next year.

You know what I mean Rado. Yeah, we done some great deals but surely LVG must have knew that by letting Di Maria, RVP, Falcao (I suppose), Nani and now Hernandez go, he would be leaving himself dangerously short from an attacking perspective. Great if it worked out and Rooney started banging in lots of goals with help from our other attackers, but it just hasn't happened and we haven't yet played against top opposition and top defenders. We're the lowest scoring team (I believe) in the league; and we have Rooney with Wilson to support him. Wilson wasn't even on the bench today, yet the striker we're apparantly selling was. Clearly LVG rates Hernandez more than Wilson, yet he's about to sell him if the rumours are true. We're in a bad way and we look like we're clutching at some expensive straws now. Nobody will sell for a sensible fee becase they know were desperate after today, and it probably leaves them no room to get an option in to replace them. People can dress our transfer activity up however they want but it's disappointing that a) the De Gea situation still hasn't been resolved, and b) we are worryingly low on attacking options yet we've had an entire window to address this.Apart from the deals we did early on, you mean?
Good to see that we're not throwing money around at the last minute this year in a desperate attempt to sign a striker after spending the last month going after every target imaginable.
While I agree on him having a tendency to do TV saves, I disagree on your initial claim. He most certainly was a calming presence during his time at Levante.I rated Barthez highly but he wasn't a calming presence and was keen on throwing himself around a lot (often making great saves) - whenever I've seen Navas, he's been quite simarly entertaining.

What next, 50m for Simon from Coronation Street?
People keep saying we need more bite in the side..Keep well away. That kids got anger issues.
