Hi lads,

Just wondering if any development on De Gea future? Do Eds expect him to stay or could we be set for a late bid from Real?

{Ed001's Note - Real have got other parts of the team to sort out at the moment, though they are still interested in him.}

Have we anyone in mind if Real push for De Gea this summer? Or is it unlikely De Gea moves to Madrid this window?

Also is Romero a definitely stayer?


Thanks.

If De Gea does go to Real I believe Handanovic is Mourinhos preference.

: De Gea has one less day left on his contract than he did yesterday :o.

Romero has just signed a new contract so I would assume Jose will use him as first choice if Ddg leaves.

Romero has to be the best second choice keeper around, but I don't think he is good enough to be number 1. Having him as number 1 wouldn't be the end of the world, but we really should have someone at least at Petr Cech's level if not better.

Cech is past his best and has not been the same player since he had that head injury he has not commanded the penalty area the same.

Romero is as good as Cech at his current level. He's more than good enough to start. DDG though is world class and a definite step up. How many more points that equates to in a season is impossible to say though.

Romero is a very good keeper but not a great one and the very very best keepers can make the difference in tight matches and tight seasons. It's not necessarily about the total amount of points they can save you (although that obviously helps) but it can be more about one save or one match which proves pivotal. It can be against a title rival or a lesser team but the impetus it can give can inspire your team and deflate your rivals. Schmeichel was probably the best recent example of this before DDG.
