Nine Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) That would mean Dubs is out then, we might see £15m for him. I think Dubravka is a good keeper overall but he defo lacks in the physical aspect, when coming for the ball from corners/freekicks especially hes not as confident or imposing as he could be and opts to punch alot when other keepers could catch. Henderson would probably be an upgrade. Also age is in Hendersons favour and goes without saying that hes much better with his feet.

Well worth getting in Henderson at 25 years old, who has shown a lot of promise when he has started games in the prem. Could see this working out really well in the way the Ramsdale transfer ultimately did for Arsenal, despite a lot of scepticism at the time. Would set us up with a long term home grown prospect between the sticks. If this is indeed a loan, I’ll be more relaxed about it. I just don’t see Henderson’s quality to be honest, which is my overriding concern with any move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 The only thing that puts me off Henderson is that he was pretty much confirmed as the person in the dressing room that was leaking shit to the press, and given how much stock Eddie has puts on the right types of characters it makes me think he may be a bad apple. @Froggy may know more admittedly.

He’s good with his feet but obviously not as good as the 2 you mentioned Found it. He didn't really dig him out tbf. It was after a mistake against Liverpool. "I’m not going to put my arm around him. He wants to play at the highest level, he wants to play for Manchester United, he wants to play for England. He’s got to do a bit better, he’s got to concentrate a bit more.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 He replaced De Gea at about 23 didn’t he? I’m up for it, obviously I haven’t seen him play much but I trust our recruitment completely at this point. Dubs is hard to judge, looks OK if we’re on top and he has one save to make. But in other periods he lacks the authority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age he will get one more nice contract elsewhere. Edited May 19, 2022 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Given the links to Henderson, Leno, Bazuna, etc, we obviously want a new keeper. No way we'd confirm it before the season is done and Howe has an opportunity to speak to the players though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Never been impressed with him the handful of times I’ve seen him play for SU against us and when he got a run in MU’s first team. If he’s coming as 2nd choice to replace Darlow on a 12 month no obligation loan but a low agreed fee if we decide to keep him then fair enough. If we are thinking of paying £40m for him then I’d concerned, especially as that is 1/3 of what I think we’ll spend in the summer. For those figures I’d want a massive upgrade on Dubs not someone who looks inferior albeit from a handful of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won’t see many current first teamers leave unless they personally really want to go and at the moment I don’t see that being an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really see much to suggest it was Henderson. Lingard and Rashford were the main suspects. I get professional vibes from Henderson. I don't think you'd have any bother with his character.

It's the same sort of problem Chelsea have with Kepa. Your backup keeper shouldn't be on more £100k a week. Henderson is on £120k per week, De Gea is on £375k pw. They're paying £500k a week just to their goalkeepers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 At the very least, he'd be excellent competition for Dubravka. Darlow's been a decent servant to us but he's just not at the level required at all. Woodman and Gillespie even less so. A loan would be excellent.
