I actually felt happier seeing him in the sticks vs the RS.. Olsens distribution gives me nightmares... so think Pickford has won this round...

I might change my mind again with the next howler.. it has taken years for me to jump on the train so will be a lot easier to get back on again..

but I’m with @MikelsGoat .. I think Carlo has other fish in mind.

Keeper is easy to address. We can sign basically anyone.

Oh look, we are back at the beginning.

Find somebody to buy Englands number 1 first.

He didn't cost us the game, but he also didn't play well. We probably lose 2-1 if he's an average keeper.

Your just a Poundland Zat at this point sadly.

Donnarumma or bust.. so I’ve read..

Well we're going to have to stop here because I just don't give a single bleep about whether Gareth freaking Southgate is picking him or not. That's just silly.

Maybe it would be if Pickford was actually good.

People are literally saying he's more consistent now in a month where he only didn't play bad more than once because he was hurt. It's like a bizarro Lucas Leiva.

Maybe we should buy Englands number 1 Keeper who has his team within 1 win of top 4?

He sounds a good prospect to me.

Your only ever as good as your last game on here.

Surely you know this?

He made one save!

I just can't do it with this mess today

Ok bruh, we do it again soon.

The NFL isn't a good example when talking money. This is just a wild thing to me saying these two world class keepers were bad signings essentially because they weren't world class forever. They aren't bad now either.

I think that the communication problem here lies in nuance.

It's overly reductive, IMO, to label either signing "good" or "bad". In retrospect, I bet United wishes they'd gotten the Madrid deal done, had replaced him with a comparable keeper on lower wages, and had reinvested the proceeds and wages in the squad. (Assuming Woodward hadn't screwed it up, which he might well have.) That said, de Gea was spectacular for years before that. They don't regret bringing him in initially, for sure. In his heyday, he was probably worth a good ten points a season or more.

The Alisson deal absolutely made sense in the immediate term, but it remains to be seen if they mortgaged the future to get those titles.

There are signings that it's easy to say were "good" (DCL) and ones that were obviously "bad" (Delph) where extreme value for the money was, or was not, received. Not all signings fit neatly into those categories. I would argue that the de Gea situation is more complex and that the Alisson deal may (or may not) turn out to be.
