What do people think about Shay Given as a possible replacement? Experienced, proven and deserves to be at a big club.

I’m also for Guillermo Ochoa. There were heavy links to him joining United more than a year ago, but his performances are crazy good. It’s just hard for him to prove himself with the crap defense that his current club has

Casillas and 60 million pounds for Ronaldo… least plausible transfer ever, but I would definitely be on board for that one…

From what I’ve seen of Neuer his game is mixed with the sublime and the absurd. But he’s only young so there would be time to fix that. As far as I’ve seen Akinfeev is a cracking player. But he’s still young. I think that Utd really need an experienced, but not old keeper. Someone around late 20s would be ideal. Can’t think of anyone though…

for me kuszcack will always be a reserve keeper and i doubt the capabilities of foster too on top level since he’s injured half the year..i think utd should and will buy a quality keeper next summer.does anyone know how good are the likes of 1.manuel neuer of germany 2.oscar ustari of argentina 3.igor akinfeev of russia{he looked good in euros thouugh!!!}

I also would suggest Steve Mandanda from Olympique Marseille. I live here now and get to see him week in and week out. He is a great goalkeeper.

Two things…
1) The replacement must be quite competent with his feet. I believe this was Tim Howard’s downfall. United love to utilize their GK’s feet to maintain possession, and whomever they elect as a replacement must be equally as capable.
2) Let’s also not pull a post-World Cup 2002 decision and go with a flash-in-the-pan player (Fabien Barthez, I’m looking in your direction)…

We need an established personality who could handle the stress… that said, I say we stick it out with Foster and see what he can do in a full season
