Yesterday I wrote how Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Rene Adler all but issued a come and get me plead to Manchester United over the weekend. Adler contract is up in 18 months and he would want to move to Old Trafford this summer.
That deal makes sense on several levels. United have a need, Adler has the talent and interest to play for United, and his contract has a Man United clause in it. He fits United’s target player as far as age and price are concerned.
So imagine my confusion when I read in the Sunderland Echo that United are after Graig Gordon. Gordon cost Sunderland £9m, a British transfer record for a goalkeeper, when they bought him in 2007. Sunderland will want to make a profit on Gordon so they will be looking for around £15m for him.
I like Craig Gordon. He is a good goalkeeper. But he is not as good as Rene Adler (or other United targets Manuel Neuer or David de Gea). If United are going to spend £15m on a goalkeeper I would rather they sign one of the three foreign targets than Gordon.
What do you think? Is Craig Gordon the best choice to be United’s next #1? Or would you rather see someone else?
