I can actually see the logic in bringing in a short-term backup keeper similar to DDG rather than going for one with a completely different skillset

----------------------------------------------

You can?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah.

If the decision has been made that a new number one is coming in next summer, and instead a backup is going to be added on a short-term contract, doesn’t it make sense that it’s a similar kind of keeper to DDG, so that if he becomes unavailable, you have more of a like-for-like replacement ready and don’t have to revise tactically?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cant really see the logic in that. I don't think De Gea has any real stand out attributes that we wouldn't be able to find in a more modern keeper.

If we wanted to put Ederson in goal for us for example and have him play exactly like De Gea does for the sake of not having to revise tactically, it's not as if he'd be unable to do it. We'd definitely see some benefit on occasion though.

I don't know much about Dubravka tbf. He might be well suited to playing with his feet and in a higher line - he would never have got to showcase it in the Newcastle team over the past few years anyway.

Eddie Howe likes to play out from the back. But even he preferred Nick Pope, and he’s shiiiit with his feet as well. It’s such a pointless signing.

Excl: Manchester United are set to sign Martin Dúbravka, here we go! Full agreement reached, loan deal with buy option £5m not mandatory. It’s agreed with Newcastle and player side. #MUFC

Dúbravka will travel tonight, medical on Tuesday.

Antony and new 2d goalkeeper coming.

6 players in one window, is that the most we’ve signed post Fergie?

14/15 also surely?

Shaw, Herrera, Blind, Rojo, Di Maria, Falcao. Did I miss anyone?

We signed six under Van Gaal.

What a window that was, erections everywhere and then Van Gaal’s football made us all crave the viaagra.

We signed six in both summers under Van Gaal.

Falcao was exciting, proper deadline day end of the night stuff!

Maybe we’ll have one of this this week.

That’s right. The next year it was Romero, Darmian, Memphis, Martial, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger.
