Always a question mark about Romero, has that mistake in him but been good this season, thing I like most about him is that he's quick to get the ball back out and get a counter attack going.
Yeah that's always been a question mark of Romero, even with Argentina. He has been good this season but what I hate is his incessant need to punch the ball instead of catch it. It can just lead to increased pressure with the ball coming back into the box.
I just think in that potential one on one situation De Gea would be the better bet but I have no problem with Romero because he is a good shot stopper. No doubt one of the - if not the best - number twos in the league.
All this discussion for a keeper is bonkers. I think we should just continue with Romero as DeGea is again fluttering his eyes towards RM. Also DeGea has not been the steadiest this season. I think we should pick on form rather than reputation and on form DeGea has been the poorer of the two.
I think you're correct. You pick on form and I would agree that right now Romero is probably matching De Gea who's had a bit of a dip in form lately but I don't think that's down to the talk of Madrid I think it's just something that happens from time to time.
I just think with so much on the line you have to go with your best player which is De Gea even if that is harsh on Romero, the whole season comes down to 1 game now if they lose Mourinho is under huge pressure as the club will lose the CL revenue £50m plus those penalties in our sponsorship deals kick in reported to be worth around £25m a season. That's £75m dissapearing off the balance sheets which makes investors/owners twitchy and will put added pressure on the club. More importantly the fans will start to question is Mourinho really worth it is he the man to lead us back to glory or is he like Van Gaal a great coach who belongs in the history books.
Anyway, decision has been made, and for me it's the correct one. I'm not one for win at all costs. You do the right thing, he's done well and doesn't deserve to be dropped.
Doesn't mean the debate should be settled. He's a good goalkeeper but one that's always got a mistake in him. One that could play well in the final and make the mistake that costs us.
And yes sure any keeper can make a mistake. But chances are far higher that DDG will make saves that win us the game.
And anyway... Why not give Dave the ultimate send off?
On present form it is more likely that De Gea commits a mistake rather than Romero. If you are going to go by reputation then you have to consider that De Gea was more prone to mistakes that led to goals in his initial time at the club than Romero has been. If you say that De Gea has overcome his initial struggle and has been good for us then I say that Romero has also overcome his error prone period and has been very good for us this season. In fact more reliable than De Gea has been this season.
In my opinion it isn't overexaggerated. This season he has nowhere been as good as he was last year. Also there is a feeling that he hasn't been bothered this year as he maybe off to RM.Is De Gea's bad form exaggerated?
Sorry mate but I disagree. If DDG goes then we need to get a replacement unless we are prepared to not challenge for the league again next year. Romero has done OK but there's a reason he was a free agent and that he's never settled at a good club. He's solid enough but he's a number two and he has a mistake in him.If we can't secure a top class replacement then I'm not afraid of him being our number 1 but we'd need our defence to be top notch in front of him. I hope De Gea stays but feels like we are in for a summer of will he won't he.
