Personally believe degea should be kept and a better team be built.

Look at REAL Madrid, Courtios isn't that good with his legs but his reflexes are on a different level. I mean we all watched the UCL final against Liverpool.

You think if you put Courtois in this united team, anything will change?
You people will still cry for ball playing GK.

Onana is great with his feet but is he up to degea's level when it comes to shot stopping?
Because your team doesn't have that structure to protect GK's from attacks by either keeping the ball or by consistently employing the high press to retrieve the ball ASAP.

But oh well.. Your luck😌

These are the amount of shots and the kind of chances your team gifts opponents more times than not.

Lmao.. Play which possession football?
With who? Rashford and Co?

Abi una think say e dey fall from heaven?
Na at which age una wan start to teach that type of football?

If you are thinking just buying 3 players will change anything then Goodluck to your dreams and the impending disappoint.

Your team will never be a possession based team. Especially with that midfield.

You have no controllers and someone like Bruno is not built for that type of football.

Wooh Goodluck to yall and your dreams

No be for here people talk say na De Gea no make United play possession football, because he dey always bunde ball give opponent? Our lazy useless forward players don't bother going after loose balls or take their chances when they manage to see it, midfielders are too poor keeping the ball, but na De Gea head them dey put all the blame when we lose. The Club must not give him a new deal, so we can enjoy possession football next season...

One of the craziest stats ever about Jose Mourinho.

Jose went 9 years in a row without losing a single league game at home betweem 2002-2011.

He managed Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid in that time. 107 different teams failed to beat him across 150 different matches.

The special one. 🇵🇹🐏

This boy is fvcking average, has 1 year left on his contract, yet United offered to pay £55m to sign him which Chelsea rejected. Whoever cursed this club should please pardon us, this one don pass ordinary something. We signed good players, and they turn shitty playing for United. What now happen when we sign shitty player like Mount? E be like say i go die my high expectation for next season, don't even think the Oyel money will solve much unless they do a proper spiritual cleansing at Old Trafford....
you can't be demanding a club sell a player to you when you want. I mean Mount must sha miss like 2weeks of preseason first before them accept that una third o

In one breathe, you people will ask for an overhaul. When it starts, y'all will then start choosing favorites. And it's mostly the old, past-it players y'all will want to die for.

Degea doesn't get into any top team rn. His contract ends in a few days. Even with a pay-cut, he'll still remain the highest paid goal keeper in the world. If this is not the best time to let him go, when is?

I'm even trying to ignore his obvious deficiencies and stick to the other points. We should be getting a new 1st team GK right now and try to blend him with the team when we're still trying to build a team.

We're not trying to build a Galatico team like Madrid. We've done it in the past and failed. We're trying to build a team with a strict/solid style of play. We're aspiring to build a team like City's or Liverpool (at their prime). So all these talks about Courtois is pure nonsense.

Secondly, we're trying to build a team with those characteristics you listed above. That's what a gradual rebuild is for. When a large majority of the squad is able to implement the style of play, you'd be surprised as to how the others you've ruled out are actually so important to that system.

But even the most stubborn Degea fan will accept he doesn't suit the style of play in any way. And every attempt to hold on to the ball starts from him. So why the fvck are you saying we should keep him?

What is it with you and possession based football?
Why do you think it's the only proper way Manchester United can play?

Again you think you have the patience for what you are asking for but you don't.
You'll first have to change the structure of your club and then start a new tradition before you buy players to fit into this new tradition while being aided by this new structure.
Possession football isn't just about buying players.
Also the reason I talk about DeGea is because in the grand scheme of things, he is not the person you should even be looking to change first. Not even close.

Everytime you talk about clear out when it took you how long to let a common Phil Jones leave your team.
If you guys were going to do a clear out, by now the number of people that would have left would give you an idea about that.

As it is, you most definitely will be starting the new season with almost the same players as last season which means it's still the same type of football which means again you'll need a shot stopper more than a midfielder who just happens to be a good GK.

Understand your reality.

My biggest DDG issue is not possession football. Its the fact he is not commanding at all. He doesnt command his box and is usually rooted to his line. He's not great at claiming crosses. All of these put Courtois way ahead of DDG. Onana is also very commanding. In fact there are lots of keepers who are commanding in europe. DDG is not one of them.

Onana vs Costa. If we eventually get a keeper(which I'm certain we won't), I'd prefer Onana because at the moment, he's a better overall GK than Costa, but Costa has the potential to surpass him in 2 years at most and since price is crucial to our transfer plans and we can get Onana for around 20 million cheaper... Why not?

Plus he's making one too many mistakes these days. Conceding goals he shouldn't be conceding

Whether he can pass or not is far secondary for me

Yeah, coupled with his recent loss of form....

If all these formed the basis of getting another goalkeeper, e for better...

Unfortunately, it's like if we don't sign a paul scholes/ Xavi Hernandez/Andrea Pirlo clone as a replacement for DDG, we no go hear word for this thread again..after all we need our GK to pass, pass and PASS since that's his primary job cry

Very good article. It would have been nice if he had added DDG’s stats for comparison in order to give more context.

Man U will go to the market to sign casual footballers like Sancho, Antony and maguire for outrageous fees with astronomical wages and then complain clubs trying to catch them maga. I mean, in which world is Antony 100m fee or Sancho receiving 300k as wage. Smh
