But there’s bound to have been other PL clubs where he’d be going in as No.1 so to go to Old Trafford knowing he’s not going to start is strange. They have a massive pile up of fixtures between now and the World Cup so I think he is more likely to get games there than here. It is a shame but I believe that everything has its time and maybe that is the way it is with him. Manchester United still also has a lot of stock world wide which will raise his profile a bit. I don't think it is the best or the worst decision he could be making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18001 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 If De Gea has any more Brentford performances Dubravka should get the gig full time. That was unbelievable, but he's been on the decline a while hasn't he? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 He'd been shite for a two or three season before last season, but last season he was one of the few players to come out of it with any credit apart from Ronaldo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they want him on loan for free (ish) and probably won't buy him in the summer. Plus if Pope gets injured or has a drop in form he is far superior to Darlow. Bad deal for NUFC. Somewhat devil's advocated but a good proportion of our fan base (not saying you were one of them) didn't see GK as a priority this summer and therefore were more than happy with Dubravka as first choice and Darlow as back up. Now that we've signed an improvement on Dubravka suddenly Darlow is no longer good enough as an understudy. I'm aiming this more at the knuckle-draggers on Twitter & Facebook rather than here, but it's a valid observation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you think of the deal at least now we know that any incoming funds or reduction in wages will be put to use in improving the squad. For me Dubravka hasn't been at his best since returning from major injury. I have no qualms with him wanting to leave instead of playing second fiddle to Pope who has hit the ground running. Manure are competing on more fronts so Dubravka will get more game time there as second choice, plus there is the slim possibility of being able to win his place as first choice. He's already 33 years old, and whilst many goal keepers play deep into their 30s even more don't, especially those with injury problems. Pope is 3+ years younger, has fit immediately into the team and looks better than Dubravka - on balance no matter how you look at it we've done a good bit of business in the keeping department. Sure it would be preferable to have more quality in reserve but we're not there yet in terms of squad depth. The money from this can be much more effectively used elsewhere on the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 7027 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) We've only ever seen Darlow play mostly with a disorganised rabble in front of him, he'd be playing behind an organised defence this time if called upon. Trust the coaches tbh. Edited August 31, 2022 by Toonpack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6065 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 He had a full season behind a decent Rafa defence in the Championship. He's bang average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1072 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If Dubravka improves Man U then it's bad business for us as they are the team we should be looking to displace given their ability to implode. If there's one club I hate in the prem it's Man U, I delight at their demise. I hope Ten Hag is another failure on their list of burned managers and that their latest signings flop under the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 7027 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 There was a thread on twitter (which I can't now find) talking about Pope with all sorts of Fish-esque analysis/graphics for all sorts of different facets of all GK's, it showed Pope way ahead of Dubravka and just about everyone else btw, interestingly Darlow was also on it and also ahead of him in many areas (marginally mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
