Class.
Not a bad theory that. His form has improved significantly from about the time Valdes started training with him.I think the reason De Gea has been playing so well is because Valdes has been training with him. Good to see De Gea doing so well.

Possible. But frankly this is a classic example of random caf logic based on nothing but an idea that popped into your head.I think the reason De Gea has been playing so well is because Valdes has been training with him. Good to see De Gea doing so well.
I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the theory entirely. The arrival of Valdes would have spurred De Gea on, it's in his nature as a competitive athlete. We saw the impact Ozil's arrival had on Ramsey and co at the start of last season. Raising their game and then with confidence as high as it can be, performances flourish for an extended period.Possible. But frankly this is a classic example of random caf logic based on nothing but an idea that popped into your head.
Well if you think about it, he has been training with the lads for a while and new competition is always good, especially the high level that Valdes brings. Of course it won't be the only reason De Gea is doing so well but but I think it should be factored in. They both speak Spanish so that would also have helped De Gea a lot being around him, watching, learning etc.Possible.

What about giving credit to our GK coach? Maybe it was just a case of his advice and training methods are world class and it just took De Gea time to adjust to them, which he now had and that's the reason for his great form?I think the reason De Gea has been playing so well is because Valdes has been training with him.

Yeah, it was awful.The "boys" on Soccer Saturday were talking about how De Gea will definitely definitely honestly proper leave in the summer. Thommo and Pisshead Merson were the two really championing this theory. Full on man in the pub talk. Such arrogant twats. "Yeah, if Real Madrid wants ya, you're fakin' gone mate." All that was missing was Danny Dyer talking about how Joe Cole had the potential to be our Lionel Messi. Pure shite.
With twelve months left on his contract in the summer, if he wishes to leave, we wouldn't be able to get 50m due to the length of time left on his contract.Not concerned, remember Ed Woodward saying in the summer one of his aims as chief executive is to make sure Manchester United don't lose their best players to clubs like Madrid.
As if £30m would do it too (figure that's being reported), IF United were to sell De Gea, would probably take around £50m+.

I'm not saying it's entirely down to @carlosp theory, but it's entirely reasonable that a combination of added motivation, a new manager bringing in competition and the need to raise your game against the fiercest rival helped De Gea to thrive and produce such a dominant performance as the Liverpool game per se.
Other factors of course play a major part too but I don't think we can dismiss the impact entirely.
I'm not dismissing the possibility, but it's just one of those things that we can't really know at all. Not having a go at you for coming up with either, swapping ideas is what the caf is for. It's far from the most extreme example, but I am always amused when people come out with stuff like "you can tell by how he's playing that Carrick hates having Phil Neville as an assistant coach" etc.Well if you think about it, he has been training with the lads for a while and new competition is always good, especially the high level that Valdes brings.

The romanticism would be as bad as with Ronaldo, let's put it that way, but with far less bitters.Would anyone, at this point, actually blame him if he fecked off to Madrid?
No. Unless we swiftly buck our ideas up, it's getting to the point where we're not good enough for him.Would anyone, at this point, actually blame him if he fecked off to Madrid?
If we don't qualify for the Champions League then no I wouldn't.Would anyone, at this point, actually blame him if he fecked off to Madrid?
I posted a similar comment in the match thread today, being totally honest about how I wouldn't blame him. After the post I was expecting about 10 or more notifications quoting me telling me to feck off but no one replied. It's got to the stage now, how ever hurt we'd be we just wouldn't blame him.Would anyone, at this point, actually blame him if he fecked off to Madrid?
He made 3 good saves and did nothing wrong. Another excellent game from our best player.Think people are going way over the top. The saves he had were all regulation saves that any good goalkeeper would save.
And we already know that he's a good goalkeeper.
