Dr. Gonzo Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jun/15/nottingham-forest-manchester-united-dean-henderson-loan Newcastle are also supposedly interested, but idk why because their keeper is decent.
Claret and Blue Posted June 15, 2022 Posted June 15, 2022 Forest was getting linked with pope last weekend.. Glad it's not him.. Henderson should do a solid enough job if he moves there

OrangeKhrush Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 the stories saying we are linked to Pope and Cornet but for 40m pope can stay in the Championship
Dave Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 If he's still as confident as he was when he played for Sheffield United then this is the best realistic signing Nottingham Forest could make as a replacement for Samba. Nick Pope is the better shot stopper but signing a Goalkeeper who will be on significantly more money than any of your players sets a terrible precedent when it comes to further signings and contract renewals. A loan with an option to buy prevents that situation escalating and if he performs would be well worth signing if they survive.
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 17, 2022 Author Posted June 17, 2022 @DeadLinesman @CaaC (John) @MUFC @Devil @Redcanuck How do you lads feel about this? I know one United fan who thinks United shouldn't be persisting with DDG & that you should be giving Henderson a chance this season. His reasoning is "De Gea's only good at shot stopping, he's not a good keeper in modern football" - but at the end of the day, wasn't he one of the best United players over the season? If not the best player? My thoughts on Henderson v. De Gea are: Henderson looked great as Sheffield United's keeper... but never really convinced me that he's a good enough keeper for United in the bits and pieces I've seen of him. My friend, who admittedly, has seen more of him than me disagrees. Whereas, I've seen De Gea put in some fantastic performances that have definitely won United points over the years. For me it seems mental to prefer Henderson to De Gea... but I guess there's the whole "football is adapting" and "Henderson is young and with potential to be better in modern football" argument... and I think there's a fair point to that - De Gea's biggest strength is that he's a good shot stopper, but he's not as well rounded as a lot of other keepers.
LFCMike Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 I don't think De Gea is the answer for United any longer but I certainly don't think Henderson is either. A newly promoted team is probably about his level.
DeadLinesman Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 De Gea and Henderson can both go. No idea who replaces them though.

DeadLinesman Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 15 minutes ago, Whiskey said: De Gea was decent last season, no? As Mike said, he’s doing nothing that suggests he’s the top keeper in the world. We’re just really fucking stupid when it comes to paying people. As a shot stopper, you can’t get much better. However, his distribution has been extremely poor and he never commands his area. We’ll see what Ten Hag does with him this season in a new system, but I’d think it’s time we start moving on. Henderson is certainly not the answer though. He’s already proven to be an isolating figure with his constant dressing room leaks via his agent so he can go and get himself fucked.
Devil Posted June 18, 2022 Posted June 18, 2022 De Gea isn't commanding enough of his area and has limitations with the ball at his feet but Henderson isn't the answer for replacing. We should have sold him whilst his stock was high.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted June 24, 2022 Subscriber Posted June 24, 2022 Henderson signing for Forest on loan - confirmed by Sky Sports.
Lucas Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 Good start by them considering they will be losing Bryce Samba on a free. They really want to be spending big on the outfield players to survive. He's more than capable at this level and he'll feel comfortable in the surroundings at Forest unlike Old Trafford where expectancy levels are much higher.
Dave Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 He's realistically the best signing they could have made in that position.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 25, 2022 Subscriber Posted June 25, 2022 Sensible signing. Never quite bought the idea of him being the De Gea successor but a loan to them is a good move for all parties. Forest made a couple of alright moves so far. That Awoniyi is a decent signing as well.
Dr. Gonzo Posted June 26, 2022 Author Posted June 26, 2022 I’m excited to see Awoniyi in the league finally. It was very frustrating that despite looking like a top player in our academy and reserves he never got the work permit until right when the fee to sell him was negotiated. And at that point I think he thought “well I can get regular football now as a starter so I might as well move” - which I think was probably a good career choice. He’s got all the raw attributes to be a good striker in the league, will be cool to finally see him play regularly.
