Read a article this morning about our young goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Just a quick question for discussion.
Despite Romero being a very good goalkeeper he isn't going to challenge De Gea for first team. For me Dean Henderson is capable of taking the number two spot and in few years time maybe be our number one ( I expect Real Madrid coming in again as they have failed miserably in succession of goalkeeper) . Would you like to sell Romero ( make few funds available that way) and give Drano a chance?

I thought Drano would be a certainty for the clean out 😂.

At his age does he want to sit on the bench?
Another year on loan for me is the best solution if ddg signs up.
He is one of the best young keepers around. He will only develop by playing weekly.
I doubt romero would raise significant funds to be honest. Best back up in any club imo.

Romero is the best "second" keeper in the league. He is better than many keepers we have had as first choice down the years. Howard, Carroll, Bosnich etc.
While there is speculation and concern over DDG's long term future I would not sell Romero.
There are only a handful of goalkeepers world wide who would be a substantial improvement on Romero (Oblak, Donnarumma, Lloris and Handanovic) all of which would cost in excess of 60m in the wake of a sale of DDG (bar Handanovic due to his age) .
So selling Romero while DDG only has a year left on his contract would be very silly.
Dean Henderson has huge potential, I would tie him down to a long term contract then loan him out to further his development.
I would keep Romero for another couple of years at least if possible, or at least until it is clear that DDG will be our number one for the next 3-4 years.

Keep him for two season whilst someone, maybe Henderson develops. I assume de Gea will stay.

This is the first time someone is posting about Dean. I always thought that Joel is talented one with the potential to be world class.
Who amongst Joel and Dean is better in your opinion guys.

Both are hugely talented, Joel Pereira was considered the more talented in his early years. But then he had a growth spurt at a younger age so he had size on his side. Yet over the last season or two I think Dean Henderson has surpassed him. Who will be the better keeper will entirely depend on who adapts best to top level football. My money at this moment in time would be on Dean Henderson.
