Forget about Oblak ffs, he's too big for us.
I would try to get Donnarumma, world class potential and already a good GK.

You know dang well that ain't happening!
Donnarumma & Raiola just doesn't feel like something that will happen. Alban Lafont feels very Arsenal though, been linked to Andriy Lunin too. I don't know about the latter, but Lafont will be a very good keeper. Could get him for 15-20m or so.

League is very weak
Linked with PSG. You have to find the next Oblak, this guy is beyond us now.

Nah he's got better defenders in front of him than De Gea and still looks ever so slightly inferior IMO. I don't think he could have kept United 4-5 places above where they probably should have finished in the last few years like DDG has.

DDG is the undisputed best GK currently, I would even put Ter Stegen ahead of Oblak. 80mil for him is a ridiculous price and one that is not justified.
He is in the exact same bracket as other GKs like Courtois, Alisson, Ter Stegen, Handanovic etc and they are a lot cheaper than him.
My first choice is going to be Alisson with Leno as the most realistic option.

Handanovic is not in the same tier as Oblak IMO. Same goes for Courtois, while I haven't seen enough of Alisson to judge him properly.
To me De Gea and Oblak are the top 2, who is the best is debatable and not at all undisputed. Not sure how you can portray your opinion and label it undisputed anyway, seems strange, especially since there is no wide known consensus that DDG is the best in the world.
If given the chance I'd pay up for Oblak any day of the week. Unfortunately I don't believe we have a shot, given the options he'll have again this summer. We don't have the budget to do it anyway so it's a pointless discussion.
Oblak is mentioned here, though the fee is recognized as an issue.

Sell all the dross and make the CL, then it wont be. Easily the best most high profile keeper we have any chance of getting (so long as PSG doesn't come in for him).
I'd spend 70m on Oblak without so much as thinking about it. I heard Fergie once said that the basic things you need in football are a good goalscorer and a good keeper, everything else comes afterward. We have the goalscorers, so if it's takes 70m for a keeper then so be it.

Yeah he always went aggressively after keepers, didn’t settle for any duds like Carroll or Howard.
Yep, same for strikers. He was ruthless; Cole>RvN>Rooney>RvP. He'd never have a team without a quality striker.
Take Liverpool for e.g. They've done really well to get to the final but I wouldn't be surprised of Karius costs them it. They certainly won't get near the league title with him in goal.

The best keeper available, but we have no chance at getting Oblak I feel.
The price is way too high. Pretty much higher than our total summer budget. Even so if we had the money would he even come? PSG and Real Madrid are after a new goalkeeper. Manchester United might even buy him if de Gea finally moves to Madrid.
I just don't see this as realistic. He's a dream though. Awesome goalkeeper.

I agree.
Sign Oblak and that Turkey defender and I would say we are good to go for next season!

Nothing Wrong With Me
A whole new back 5! I dont see us doing that. I like Bellerin but I'm not bothered if he goes or not as long as we reinvest the money. Monreal is getting older, Kos & Cech are past it and Mustafi error prone. Mavro looks to have a good future, maybe pair him with Sokratis and have Kos and one of Holding/Chambers as back up. I dont think for a minute we'll get Oblak but we can get a better keeper than we have now.

Except for Barthez, who was a flop for them.

DDG is definitely the reason Man Utd aren't mid-table.

He wasn’t that bad, no coincidence Fergie binned him, got van Der Sar and went next level.

Barthez was brilliant entertainment - he was either making a brilliant save or doing something completely mental.
Taibi was the perfect example of how ruthless Ferguson was with keepers, he signed him as 3rd choice, played him in a couple of games and decided " you're ****e son " and binned him at the first opportunity. If that was Wenger he would of kept him for the next 5 years as first choice - see Almunia.
