De Gea going to free status puts United in more of a power position in terms of negotiating; I wouldn’t be adverse to him remaining at the club another year or two as he has been a good servant, however another keeper (such as the one suggested) with no baggage or preconceptions from fans would be nice step forward. We don’t need big names a la recent years, but motivated players; SAF’s history with signing such players showed how a work ethic can produce a great team from players who want it.
