What do you all think about keepers for next year. Keep DDG and try another loan or sell Henderson. Or get what we can for DDG and bring Henderson in.
I feel like a decision is iminent this off season.

If we get a good offer for DDG then sell him. Henderson looks really good. I'd be disappointed to see Henderson go. DDG has been a world class keeper, but the signs are there that he . maybe on a slow decline. Who knows?

For me it's time to sell DDG and give Henderson the No.1 shirt.

I think the decision was made when De Gea signed a new contract.

There simply isn’t any top clubs out there willing to pay upwards of £50m for a goalkeeper. In turn, Henderson won’t be happy as a backup.

With Henderson, we can either loan him out for another year and see if things have changed by the summer of 2021, or sell him. But De Gea will be here next season.

I think the decision was made when the club decided to hand de gea a brand spanking new 5 year deal.

No club which can afford him have pressing goalkeeping issues which would require them to splash out on de gea.

If Henderson doesn't want to be number two or go out on a perpetual loan cycle then he will have to leave and continue his promising career elsewhere.

I hope so, Danny. And I think that's the best plan. People always underestimate how important a world class keeper is to a side aiming to win trophies.

Disagree nou, ddg has not been world class for three years. Decline started with Spain in last world cup and has continued ever since. He does not command his area, does not communicate with his defenders and that's why we look so nervous at set pieces. In addition dog's distribution is non existent, when was the last time did he start an attack like Schmeichel used to?
Shot stopping, he is world class, but these days, goalkeepers are being asked to do a lot more than that.
I would sell him if there are any buyers, and get Romero and Henderson to fight it out.

Chelsea need a keeper, just saying.

Henderson is a good keeper, as is Romero. Henderson may well go on to step up to the top level. Another season loan at Sheffield, won't do him any harm. He's only played three quarters of a season in the top league.

DDG had one really poor season for us by his standards, and now he's supposedly in decline. Another season loan for Henderson will show us if this is the case. If so, fair enough. But I think he deserves some credit in the bank for several awe-inspiring seasons with us.

I really don't think, when we're trying to rebuild the squad, that we need to unnecessarily start messing around with the goalie situation, unless DDG's form takes on a more permanent regressive look.

As long as there's a plan in place that will keep Henderson on board, I've no problem keeping Dave on next season.

But more pertinently, as Danny says, he'll probably be here because of the lack of options for him elsewhere.
