I will always maintain that we'll be paying upwards of £50million to get anyone better than him.

We've other issues to fix in the squad than the keeper.

However...a better back up and being dropped from England will sort him out.
Well said, agree entirely with you. The hang him flog him sell him loonies should pipe down. Of course they won't.
 
Indeed, he's got time on his side and is operating behind a defence that is someway short of where it needs to be, the passage of play leading up to their goal on Sunday highlights this. He has to mature and improve, better coaching and a kick up the ars* in the form of some competition for his jersey would help, but I think we have other priorities in the summer. De Gea on £400k a week provides some perspective, but some on here just enjoy hating and winding up, with no thought of the consequences.

If you really want him sold, big him up.
I dont think fans on here hate our players, we just want them to play well. I'm not sure how bigging him up on here will get him sold, unless you think scouts/managers from ther teams are looking on here to determine how good he is ! In that case lets all head to the Niasse thread quick, lots of praise and we sell for what £50m ?
 
Because he doesnt seem to care that he looks like a tramp on a massive day for him and his family.

These pictures would surely be humiliating for 99.8% of wives and families.

It shows a level of arrogance that he displays when he plays football ie. LAUGHS when he makes mistakes and we are getting beaten.

It seems to suggest a lack of empathy and understanding in all manner of angles - not least that he was abysmal again for his football club on sunday.

He is sticking 2 fingers up to everyone, including his own family and will continue to make excuses for himself because he is so self absorbed.
 

No it's his fault the shot went in. It's a good shot but saveable. It shouldn't be going in.

My main concern in general isn't that. It's that the situation was easily avoidable in the first place and that's a team thing (which started with Pickford in this case but is clearly a tactic).

He's been crap recently (while also making a few standout saves) so why aren't we as a team smart enough to stop creating our own issues too to add to that?
Again, you make excuses for the man-child. It's basically why he has no discipline: knowing that there are enough people out there willing to forgive and forget. Southgate all smiles at the end of that match when the man-child saved one shot (the first he spilled into the air for the second chance) is a good example of that.

If he wants him between the posts for England, so be it. But he cant be undermining the Ancelotti project.

But if Southgate has also seen enough and does ditch him, it’s surely the beginning of the end for JP here, do you think?
Let's face it, the world and it's wife have been told he's fragile at best. If he was deposed as first choice for England I think it would be a downward spiral.
Green, Hart, Robinson before him, a one way street I'm afraid. A poisoned chalice being a keeper. Nine brilliant saves in a match but will be called out by the tenth save that crawls past him over the line.
 

What’s not being captured are the errors that don’t lead to goals. The dropped crosses and short passes into trouble for no reason...It’s just not good enough and doesn’t inspire any confidence for his defense.

It's not making excuses to say we – he included – should be avoiding creating needless problems for ourselves.
