Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[Dave]

As others have alluded to, he's a perfectly decent keeper.

But unless Heaton is more buggered than we thought then there is a perfectly good year or two more in him, so surely the latest in our collection of goalkeepers should be someone 24-26 who is eased in while Heaton is eased out and is then a brilliant keeper for us for ten years.

Yes it’s the age thing that’s the oddity.

[danno]

He's younger than Reina I suppose.

It only makes sense if Heaton is done, which doesn’t seem to be the case. So it doesn’t make sense.

[Big Ming]

See that Manure got their consolation prize.

How the mighty are fallen.

What if the club isn't 100% sure that he isn't done?  We ended up needing experienced GK cover last season so it does make some sense.

Romero isn’t very prolific in front of goal.

better than Agbonlahor

Don’t get the Romero thing really.

He sees the zombies as a metaphor for the ills of modern life, I think.

 Callum Wlson will be a great move if we also get Watkins; a winger and through-the-middle player with pace, strength and goalscoring instincts. What I like about Wilson is that he is quick and strong, and he keeps CB on the back foot.

Chortle.

Perhaps we should 'up' the bidding for Diangana, just to wind up the Bitters.

Also, if Heaton isn't finished or out for a good while yet, why would Romero leave Man U because he's tired of not being number 1 to a situation where he still isn't guaranteed to be number 1. And would we really pay £70-100k per week to a maybe 2nd choice keeper? If so, we''re even more minted than I thought.

It's a very strange one.

Wet Spam must be desperate for cash.  He’s a great player I think.

Well, the article suggests if they lose Diangana they'll bide for Benarhama, who will cost them more than they recoup for the former.
