Sergio Romero

Yep. Navas is basically Romero with superior shot stopping attributes. Theres no much difference between the 2 tbh.

Romero's biggest plus on the other hand is his fight and attitude. Mentally he is strong.
He is a player who can rise to an occasion but then falter altogether in the next game against an inferior side. He can be a decent cup option therefore for us. But his general shot stopping and other basic attributes are quite ordinary. He will need someone who can constantly keep him alerted and on his toes in the defense, a leader figure which we are badly lacking right now.

forget Ramos

Navas isn't that good mate, you can do a lot better.

who is available tho who is anywhere near De Geas level tho...Lloris would have to cause a shit storm at Spurs for them to sell us him.

You have money lol, no point buying bang average for the sake of it.

Well, there are at least half a dozen promising gks playing in Germany I believe. ( RWO can confirm )
We could have bought one of them instead for cheap, but then that can happen next year as well thats true.

Furthermore Lindegard, Johnstone, Milinkovic is a decent set of gks to be backups.

aside from Neuer, they all just FIFA hype at this point

why is Navas not that good now?

Not that I have vast knowledge, but last I checked he was best La Liga keeper and had a beastial WC before he transfered to Reals bench.

So why is he 'not that good'? Pls explain.


Also, so apparently De Gea is a 'coward' for choosing the cozy security of becoming a Real player succeding Casillas, over the lion's den situation he's having now at Man Utd, where he was relentlessly hyped and adored last 2 seasons

Best keeper in La Liga

He's never been anything more than average, that was just standard ridiculous hype by Madrid fans and media.

Also he wouldn't be the first average player to have a good WC, every WC is full of crap players looking like gods.

De Gea is not a coward, to this point De Gea has been nothing but professional in the situation, Di Maria is a coward in the way he has handled his pending departure tho.

Like I said De Gea has respect for the Club and the Fans.

Pls moal stop commenting on a league you yourself have said many times you do not watch. There was plenty of Keylor hype prior to the WC and he was considered one of the best goalkeepers of that season, of course it paled in comparison to his WC heroics, but he wasn't entirely a surprise.

You mean like how Carvajal was voted best RB in Bundesliga ahead of Lahm and Prime Pizzacheque? yeah i'm gonna pay attention to that BS

Yeah because you don't have a history of overhyping Lol Liga players

False, I only overhype if they're Argentine regardless of the league

I said that De Gea is a coward if he leaves. Staying at Manchester United would require patience, because there is a process and a lot of stuff to do before success comes; Real Madrid has already a better chemistry, things are well established there with many players already proven there.

He knows that fans love him there in Manchester, he knows he can become a club legend if he stays there, he knows that in time with the right attitude Manchester United can become again a very strong team.

There is no right way or right choice, there are only the easy way and the hard way. He is a coward if he chooses the easy way.

Successful people always choose the hard one.

you guys should do some research on Romero first he's such a scrub

I didn't watch him a lot (when I saw him, he was decent, maybe looking promising), so I have to do some research but if it's like some people are saying, a scrub, then this transfer sucks a lot.

i wouldn't have bought romero. If i buy him, might as well try to adapt to the life without de gea. Who knows, maybe madrid won't be interested once he's benched for a long time

no madrid will just snag him up at the end of his contract like they will do anyways

might as well let De Gea help us win the PL title this year while we scout a successor for next summer

My heart is broken when I read this things about De Gea. I hope he won't ever leave us for Madrid, I still hope.

maybe, maybe not. 1 year of no game played is a long time to reconsider. Plus, who knows if Romero will maintain a top notch form for months

@vizkosity

Romero is average. He was benched for Monaco and Sampdoria Monaco let him go on a free...

Jibers, pls...predictions thread.

he is no De Gea with the ball at his feet that is for sure

but he made some excellent stops today

DDG pls stay tho
