....he certainly deserves a run in the team now. There will probably be a mistake or two and maybe even a howler but it might be worth persisting, he's a fantastic size and shape for a top keeper.

No way saying he will be as good as Courtouis but very similar in frame.

He deserves to keep his place at the moment. He has 14 more games to prove if he is up to the job.

Disagree.

Young goalie. First proper run in the team.
For me he needs this remaining season and all of next season to make mistakes, get used to the premiership, grow as a player.
For me he needs all of next season. He needs to feel he is a number one and given time.

Really rate the lad. But us fans have to be patient including next year.

Potentially could save us millions.

De Gea got 2 years grace at UTD. Joe Hart got the same.
Courtouis had two seasons in Spain.
Mignolet has had 18 months.

Agree with you on playing first team for a year. The question is whether he plays the games with us or out on loan.

He deserves the position deffo.
I think Howard might have played his last game for us

We are defo in for Nyland. Won't be surprised if we get him to complete with Robles.

Has to be us surely.
If he goes on loan we then need to buy two goalies.

I think he looks assured and has lot of potential
Catches well
Adjusts feet well
Potential and better than Howard ATM

Loving how all the Howard lovers have piped right down ..... Except for Tubey .... But he's just in about 1% of fans on here who continue to hate on Joel

AaronTheBlue · February 8, 2015

I was a Joel fan before being a Joel fan was popular...

part of me is convinced when sterling went though first half .. howard would of just ran out and clattered him ..i thought joel made a good decision checking his run

I think Howard would have spread his arms and legs and fallen on his backside.

There is absolutely no way we would play Robles as first choice keeper. A huge risk that is. We shall loan him out to a Championship side for a season to see if he is up to the job albeit at a lower level.
