I think you need to read between the lines. Or between the letters. Or something.

Not sure I want Brazilians called Allison and Bernard.
What happened to cool Brazilian names?
Allison and Bernard sound like they run a B&B in Slough.
We've seen how much a top quality keeper can make a difference at United. They haven't played good enough football to be 2nd in the PL but De Gea has had another great season. That's what a top keeper can do for you.I'm confident Allison is enough of an upgrade over Karius to convince me he's worth a significant outlay. He's been remarkable this year and appears the complete package.

I'm really surprised that the voting is strongly in favour of Karius, fickle aren't we. I've been impressed with his improved form too and he's beginning to look like the BL #2 keeper we signed. However although it would be a little harsh on him we are not in the business of keeping players happy and Allison would be a major upgrade.
On the other hand Roma making the CL semis (as with us making them) could be enough to persuade star players to stick around another season or two to see if there is progression. And it looks like RM / Barca need new keepers too.
Alisson Becker and Jan Oblak are two of the coolest names you could have.
If they were in Slough they would be called Gurpreet and Moseen.Not sure I want Brazilians called Allison and Bernard.

Make that 2xCM and I agree with that list. We are horrendously short of depth in a number of positions and we don't need just squad filters.1 x GK
1 x CB
1 x CM
1 x CF
HahahaIf you’re a female German soap opera actress.
Make that 2xCM
Nah. That would be 6CM squared.After we come back from 3-0 down to 4-3 up in the 93rd and 94th minutes in Kiev
We shouldn't get the keepers who face a lot of shots to make them look better than they are. Look at what happened with Ming. With that I do not want Pope, Heaton or Butland, it is 50-50 and there is always settling period for them. If we want to challenge for the title in the next 2 years then it will be a nono for me.
If we are to replace Karius I would take a Champions League keeper. Allison, Oblak or the likes otherwise we should just invest in other areas.
Or ...... we can go for a proven world class keeper who will take us up another level instead of second guessing ourselves as we've done for years. Someone like Allison or Oblak ... oh.Anyone interested in Nick Pope at Burnley? He has been really fantastic this season. Has one of these statos crunched his numbers? Might be excellent competition for Karius when Ming moves on, and probably at a much more reasonable price than the likes of Allison or Oblak.

Allison has not only been far and away the top keeper in Italy this season but also in the Champions League. And when is the last time England had a World Class keeper ? Pope may be eventually but he's not even #1 in England yet and may need a few more seasons to get there. We don't have a few more seasons, we need an instant impact and that means Allison or Oblak.I just don't think Pope is 'second guessing'. Allison is having a similar break through season to Pope, and I actually think would be just as much of a gamble as Pope (if you see it as such), but a gamble that will probably cost a LOT more money. Oblak, I agree, is absolutely proven world class quality, but I don't see it happening. If I could sign any keeper tomorrow, it would be Oblak. But it isn't going to happen. We'll get absolutely rinsed for Allison, who I cannot agree is proven WC quality.
