@RedMaestro you play FIFA 17 don't you? I saw all these keepers names when I was looking up good potential young goalies for the game 
.
.Who could be the new first goalkeeper if de Gea leaves (hopefully he stays)?
- Thread starter RedMaestro
- Start date
You need to watch AC Milan sometime, they are essentially a one-man army.
For me, any other GK is somewhat "ordinary" compared to DDG. Well, apart from Courtouis that is. Not that other GKs are bad. Just not as special.
I guess if DDG does leave, I don't think United to find that special GK. Just buy an experienced, steady, good at everything and bonus - a leader for the defensive unit. United just to have that consistent, experience of playing together and form a tight knit unit.

For some reason I would rather we buy from the premier league than have to blood in someone from one of the other leagues like we had to with DDG. So maybe Kasper Schmeichel or just give the spot to Romero.
Has to be Donnarumma. He has the stature to adjust to the physicality and directness of the English games, he's quite commanding, and has incredible potential - with room to improve his handling of the ball and playing with his feet (he imitates Neuer to improve this aspect of his game):
Plus, he can handle pressure after bearing the weight of expectations as the heir apparent to Buffon, and has excelled in some important moments already:
Ederson could maybe reach Júlio César level (and he was a quality goalkeeper at his peak), but he'll be a better fit for a possession oriented team I reckon, and Gigio could become a giant for the position in post-modern football as a more standard goalkeeper. Handanović is a good, stable keeper who's among the Top 7-8 in European football, too, but he's older and doesn't have the same long-term potential. We did well to target a top young goalkeeper in De Gea when he was only 20 and had been in Atlético's first team for only 2 seasons - after learning our lessons from the Čech situation:
Donnarumma would be of a similar profile (though De Gea did play in European competitions when Atlético won the Europa League), plus - he's managed by Raoila (who has decent relations with Mourinho) and has only 1+ year on his current deal at Milan:

Oblak would be a good (and more proven) alternative, but Atlético will be pretty pissed with all the Griezmann/Giménez links.
Romero is a good goalkeeper, with very obvious weaknesses. Makes great saves (at important times too!), Seems comfortable with the ball at feet etc...Though he didn't when he initially joined.
Ball in the air he is very questionable. At times he looks like an accident waiting to happen. It's luck and not judgement that we have not conceded goals from his flapping.
Very good number 2, perhaps too good to be a number 2 so we are lucky in that respect. He could be first choice elsewhere no doubt. But in this league and for this club? Not for me.
If I was any lower half (or even outside top 7) team I'd be lumping in crosses in and around the 6 yard box. His lack of strength in this aspect of his game is obvious.
David has gone from a similar weakness over the years to making it a clear strength...Not sure Romero (at this point in his career anyway) will have that opportunity.
I could be wrong of course, but if we want to be challenging with the big boys next season we need to be thinking better quality for our number 1.
I was keen on Butland before his injury, thought he showed real promise. The last from Milan (I've seen a few times, can never spell his name right!) does look to have the stature and is at a stage where he could certainly be moulded into a world class keeper. Oblak usually impresses me when Athletico are on the box.

Easy - Donnarumma. The only keeper in the world I would say has a bigger potential than de Gea
Sure but if you convince the player and pay the release clause there's not much they can doOblak would be a good (and more proven) alternative, but Atlético will be pretty pissed with all the Griezmann/Giménez links.
Btw, the obvious answer here is donnarumma. Turned 18 last month, is the most talented GK in the world by a million miles, potentially can become the best ever at the position, and is already among the 15/20 best GK in the world(Name 15 keepers who are better, i dare you). And he turned 18 last month. Already hard to find more than 10 guys better than him. Born in 1999. Second season as a starter. Debuted at 16 and was among the best in the world right away. At 16.
There are a few reasons not to buy him in that statement as well.People are so quick to jump the gun and proclaim players as the real deal .
He is very young and in his second season playing for let's be honest a poor team in an average league .
He is not Buffon and it's an insult to Buffon to say he is at that level of quality and will be an insult for a few years yet .
If he is playing at the level people think in a couple of years then we can start the hype ...at the min its overhype .. Don't confuse potential with product
Lloris
Handanovic or Donnarumma
Hopefully we could get Joe Hart if De Gea leaves. Pretty similar quality.
I need to correct a factual inaccuracy that's forever repeated on here.
Barthez was a big money signing, from the all conquering French NT, competitive Monaco side. He was in no way a "cheap" option, or stop gap or "punt". It didn't work (although it wasn't a Taibi type disaster either) but don't change history.
Seriously, to listen to some we paid 500k from Portsmouth.

Donnarumma is a brilliant name so him
This is a joke right?
Why would it be a joke? Hart's a proven Premier League keeper, a regular international and is likely to be available in the summer.
I'm not. I can't think of 10 goalkeepers who are better than him right now. As it is he's already good enough to play for a big club(if you don't consider milan a big club, which in term of results, fine, but in terms of pressure? Playing for Arsenal or Spurs is much easier). And he's barely 18.
Must be white text somewhere...
Yeah , it would make far more sense to sign an 18yr from Italy who most people in here have never even seen play.
I'd try for Lloris but probably untouchable by other PL sides.
Isn't Lafont that guy who got lobbed by Depay from the halfway line?
Has to be Oblak.
With Leverkusen failing to qualify for the CL, a move from Leno is expected to happen. His manager today said - of course, it's only pr-talk, but still - that there were a few teams interested in signing him last summer, and there will be a few teams be interested this summer. Leno now *blablabla* focusses on Leverkusen and will decide in summer. It's a big honour that Real Madrid is one of the teams which is supposed to be interested in Leno *blablabla*.
Which means: He will leave this summer.
In my opinion he is a good one. Could be a very good one. He has proven more than the italian guy, who could be the best thing ever - but also a total desaster. (Teenager sooner or later have a "bad second season", a kind of crisis. It would not be the best timing for him, to move so young and be the new number one in a country, at a club, with a language, and with the all the media waiting for your failure.)
Timo Horn from Cologne; great shot stopper in his 5th season no. 1 in Cologne and just 23 years of age.
Donnarumma, Oblak, Leno
in that order would be my options.
Barring, anything spectacular happening to him and he continues developing like he is, Donnarumma will be one of the all time top goalkeepers, if not THE one. The guy just turned 18. 18! He's out of this world. Though he's Italian and they like to stay playing in Serie A you don't see a lot of Italians in other leagues.

Agree he is the one - not sure you'd get him though
True, especially if you're targeting players from Spanish clubs that have a mandatory clause - and particularly Atlético who offer realistic solutions at several positions. But the reported clause in itself is prohibitive unless Atlético offer a considerable discount:
http://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2016/02/10/56bb829546163fd5338b45bd.html
Don't think Atlético will hold out for the €100 million figure per se, and they could use the proceeds of the fee to really strengthen the team, but targeting three players in one go might rub them the wrong way (aside from the rumored interest in Saúl), even though they've traditionally been open for business as long as the fee is right.
But with their transfer ban, I can see them forcing clubs to pay the release clause for players to put them off.
Yeah I think his buy out is ridiculous if I remember. He is certainly in the top 5 keepers in the world for me. I'd like Loris but again can't see that happening. Maybe Cech whilst we wait for something to pop up would be good. Donnaruma looks good and I'm not against a young goalie but again he'd cost a fortune and I've not seen that much of him to judge if he is worth it.
Oblak is my ideal replacement, Donnurama is the dream though.
He's definitely a better option than Kaspar fecking Schemichel. Are people seriously suggesting him? Is it just based on his Dad? He's shite.
Yeah but that's my point he might be good now but how many wonder kids have come and gone who looked like world beaters for a couple of years ?
We can't truly judge him for a couple of years yet and even then he might be a cassilas at Real ..excellent in his early 20s fading in his late 20s
I just think it's a little disrespectful to someone like Buffon to say this guy is already at your level and standing that's all.
Jose Mourinho Jr.
Is that a bit like saying being the best in the world is similar to being the best in your house ?
Sign Zidane's son. Let's see who he values more- his son or Dave
Well yes, that's why nobody has ever said that yet

Adam Crafton who has clear ties with DDG's camp suggesting that he's very happy in Manchester and shares a great relationship with Mourinho. The only reason if he'll consider moving if we don't finish top4 and that too only when Madrid offers somewhere near 60m for him.

Hart makes more mistakes than Donnarumma eventhough Hart has years of experience over Donnarumma ... i can just remember one mistake from Donnarumma ever while Hart made two in 1 game (2-2 against Inter) just a few weeks ago.
Hart has good moments and is capable of making a wonder save with the reflexes he got but he is always capable of a big error. Overrated English goalkeeper.. Forster from Southampton is even a better option if you want a English goalkeeper.
Seriously, there are people who are suggesting Hart, Szcesny, Butland and Schmeichel. Are they insane? Do they miss that much the Taibi/Bosnich/Howard/Carroll years?
