    Shout out to Laporte for returning from injury and proving to Man City fans that his absence wasn't the reason their defence is garbage.

    My heart is saying Dean Henderson but my head is saying Fabinho.

    So Dean Henderson it is.

    Bruno Fernandes for United has been great, wonder how he would have got on at Spurs as he was tipped to go there

    Mourinho would have turned him into a left back.

    I seen that he’d made more errors than any other goalkeeper.

    probably been overtaken by De Gea now.

    Yeah he’s a really good keeper imo.

    When your fakeover finally dies, I’d be quite happy if Big Uzzie handed over some of his dirty Russian cash for him tbh mate. He’d give some decent competition to short arms.

    good keeper has one weakness and it's knowing when to come but the saves he makes are unreal at times... he's got 10 clean sheets in a side that has less than 30% possession all season. I think without him our relegation battle would still be very much happening.

    I sit right next to the goal so always get a good close look at the keepers who visit, I remember being impressed by him.

    Poch would probably still be manager if Sporting had been honorable and stuck to the original agreement

    I’ll tell you what happened.

    Levy stipulated that a percentage of the fee would be dependent on us winning the league/CL.

    of which we have not won either ever so what was he exactly offering? Sporting chairman probably chuckled to himself and put fone down

    good summary Slurps, so Levy ****ed you over and you missed out and United got him.

    Levy making offers to appease fans knowing they won’t come through so he doesn’t spend money.

    Levy would have liked our £40m+£1 offer for Suarez that went tits up by ducking and diving and trying to be clever

    yup...he does the ‘oh I tried, but...’ ****e and many buy it

    same with Dybala...we were getting him but the image rights got in the way. I’m thinking as soon as you are interested in Dybala and go through the right avenues then you would find out straight away that there is an image rights percentage to consider. He made out it only cropped up near the end thus scuppering the deal

    I didn’t buy that one either

    Jack Grealish is another one...Villa in financial trouble...wanted 25 mill

    Levy offered 6/8 Mill <laugh><doh>

    Within a week new owners turn up at Villa and **** Levy off

    Today Grealish sells for 40+ mill

    If he played for a better team Pope would be considered the prems no.1 keeper. Having Jordan no-arms Pickford over Pope shows how inept Southgate is.
