    It's only a matter of when. Summer I'd imagine though would prefer sooner

    Romero played in goals in the last WC and helped get his team to the final. No he is not as good as De Gea, but he is one of the best in the world none the less.
    He is a good player to have at the club.

    He really isn't, he only played because Argentina have a poor standard of goal keeper.

    This is a guy who couldn't get a game for a mid table seria A side.

    I'd much rather have Valdes but Romero is a decent #2.

    You need a good goalkeeper to make it to the final of the WC. Then again at the Copa America.

    Too many games, for him not to be among the best, otherwise he would be letting the rest of the team down when under pressure in a game.

    Romero is a very good number 2.

    Average players and teams have won cup competitions.

    Dudek won the CL with Liverpool.

    Stekelenberg got to the final in 2010 - is he even a decent keeper, let alone a good one?

    Romero is a very good keeper. he made a right balls of the Swansea winner, but the player was only 6 yards out when he struck it.

    apart from that and one error against Boro (in which he was our best player) he has been solid. he has played 8 times and in the 2 games we lost, he was MOM for us in one of them. he was solid as a wall in 6 of the other 7 so overall he has been a very good signing for us and i am glad we have him.

    he saved us from being completely batter on thursday.

    He is the best backup keeper we have had in quiet a few years basically. Valdez doesn't count as he was never going to be a number 2. I think van der gow was the last time we had a decent number 2.

    Stekelenberg was/is a very good keeper and very highly rated by many. IIRC he was linked to us a bit a few years ago too.

    Reached the point where @ManUtd need to act or make some kind of announcement. Directors of other teams commenting on Mourinho's next move.

    Tis the truth.

    We were linked with a meeting with Pep and denied it pretty quickly. You'd think we'd act quicker when the director of another club links us with Jose...unless.... :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,500 ✭✭✭Quandary


    The club at the very least need to sit Louis down and tell him exactly whats happening because he has been fairly defiant regarding the Jose rumours in all of his press conferences and seems to be very confident he has the full backing of the board.

    Also, please let it be true :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,945 ✭✭✭0gac3yjefb5sv7


    Finally great news!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭madcabbage


    Put the poor man out of his misery, no way to end a career with all that going on around him. Are the club afraid we'll go into a lull like City when they announced Pep?

    Agree, if Jose is set to join United the least LVG deserves is the option to bow out with dignity.

    a lull in a lull ?

    LVG atm is like that lad your sister brings home and your entire family clearly know he's a waste of oxygen and yer just waiting for your dumbass sister to see the light. C'mon Utd board, pull the trigger. Put this man out of his misery for god sake.

    When Fergie retired, when 'defending' the decision to appoint Moyes, Fergie listed out all the candidates that weren't available at the time, hence they went for Moyes. Klopp was even one of those. There's no way a club like Utd are not going to want to hire one of the most successful managers ever in Jose. One who is available. Utd must surely have made an approach to Pep but he turned it down. You don't pass up the chance to hire these men.

    Former Inter president Massimo Morati also asked about Mourinho after lunch: "He goes to MUFC? I'm not sure, I do not want to tell anyone."

    Didn't see any FA Cup results. How many did Welbeck get today. Lower league opposition so I'm guessing at least 3?

    Rio is pulling no punches, maybe he knows something :D Hopefully.
