I've just named them, quite easy really ;-)

He's obviously not a lot worse, but I'd rather have those I named - well, not McGregor because he's a sicknote.

i dont see the hype tbh. if he played for hull no one would even recognise the litlle fella

If he player for Hull he'd make hundreds of saves over the season and people would have him down as a world beater. He's so much better than Mannone and probably 2nd only to Cech in this league.

Mannone is competent but nothing outstanding at all. He's shown nothing like what Mignolet showed for us last season either.

de gea is like a lost little boy. he was utter shite and i mean absolute shite against bayern the other day

He's consistently competent but very rarely does he do anything exceptional like de Gea or Mignolet can do. I'll be shocked if he's not still with us next season.

This sums it up nicely, don't think I've seen anything that makes me think a PL or Serie A side will have him as their first choice next season.
 
The standard of goalkeepers has gone up incredibly over the years. Mannone for me isn't top notch - look how Arsenal were crying out for a decent keeper for a number of years recently and he could only get to #3 spot.

He's solid enough and capable of great saves. But he looks a bit small to me and some of the goals we've conceded have been soft for me where a better keeper might have saved them (eg the free kick at Liverpool basically went straight down the middle).

For £2m a great signing though.

personally dont think its as simple as you are making out.

we have barely been in a position for a keeper to 'win' any points this season at all.

I seem to remember our 1-0 win against Everton on Boxing Day, Mannone was outstanding, I'd say he won us the points that day. I rate the lad. He should play for the rest of the season, imo.

I'd say de Gea is a better keeper than Cech these days IMO.
