Off Topic Premier League Clean Sheets

Yes, because he was suffering from lack of competition. I was talking about the last few years. He was seen as a huge talent, and still is one. He's just dipped in form this season. Ospina and Martinez have taken his place for now but that won't last too long.

As for Mignolet, I'm not saying he's in his prime. I'm saying he's approaching it. When I said "replacing" him, I meant that once he hits 30 the club will need to start looking for a long-term project again. I wish that we were on the same stage of our project as United are with De Gea or Chelsea are with Courtois (who played a lot at Atletico). Mignolet is the finished article and that's good, but when you see that at the age of 22 Courtois is already better, you start to wonder I want of those talents.

I'm not a Mignolet hater, I value him and think he'll be good for the next few years. But I'd rather already have someone like Courtois. I know we're not Chelsea and those talents are rare, but we don't really develop goalkeepers, do we? We should start.

In an ideal world yes wed have a keeper that is 22 and ready top class and can be our keeper for next 10+ years. However how many are there about?

de Gea was said by many to not be good enough when joining United and went through 1 or 2 seasons of being an ok keeper with potential before getting to where he was now. Courtois was loaned out for 3 years into a side withess pressure to help develop... Other than them and neuer, how many other top class young keepers are out there playing for top teams?

I agree. I was referring to an ideal world. Unfortunately there aren't many talents on their level right now.

Only idiots said he wasn't good enough. It was clear he was going to become a top keeper prior to joining Man Utd and he just needed a little time to adjust to the physicality of the English game.
