For me he is the best keeper in the world.

didn't hold onto it
I'm not having athe Neuer is better than this guy argument.
De Gea could make Rajinikanth look mediocre.
"Heurelho Gomes without the shot-stopping"
Marcotti and Patrick Barclay?
Immense. Sensational saves.
During the contract wrangle and the long thread made about it, I stated that he was the best GK in the World.
I still believe this.
His saves today didn't really surprise me - it's what I expect of the best GK in the World.

Best keeper in the world.
Best signing of the season. Class!
Simply phenomenal.
This can't be an opinion anymore. Neuer is just not as good as DDG, not at all. I never rated Neuer, but I'm not biased, DDG is already better than Neuer/Courtois ever was.
Best in the world, no doubt about that. He'll be off to Madrid next summer so I hope we can arrange a suitable replacement.
Just imagine, we could have lost him for free next season or got an inferior keeper this summer.
Would have been such a nightmare to have Madrid get De Gea for feck all

That summer story has been worth it and it's just brilliant that he stayed
That header save... David De Cat.
Showed his value to us today with a couple of brilliant saves. Irrespective of what he does next summer, he's invaluable to us.
That header save was incredible.
Best 'keeper in the world, simple as.
If you "never rated Neuer" you don't really know what you're talking about. Whether David is better than him is a real debate I feel - its close and they're both top class keepers - but "never rated Neuer"? Seriously?
Never rated him as the world's best, yes, seriously.
It's not such a ridiculous statement to say he's the best in the world ...it's debatable!
He's just insanely good. He really does make saves that he just has no right too.
Nah, I doubt he goes at this point. He's our for keeps.
I love the sense of focus and concentration on the ball, his ability to track and predict shots as they develop is a joy to watch.
I'd love to see a compilation of just opposing fans' reactions when he stops a surefire goal. The hands on head and that "yeeeaooohhwha???" sound - love it!
After a tough summer where he slipped down my list of favourite players it is safe to say he is back on top. What a man 
. Won't get into the best in the world debate but all I know is that I wouldn't trade him for Neuer or Courtois.

Its a judgement call after all - you're entitled to your opinion about whos the best. The suggestion was however that you didnt "rate" Neuer generally - which would of course be absolutely ridiculous.
It's crazy that he still yet to keep a clean sheet this season and Romero has got 2.
incredible to think that romero has to face only 3 or 4 shots on goal in 4 or 5 games yet de gea needs to make 4 or 5 top saves every single game he's played in.
Thank heavens for a crappy internet connection and a hapless fax machine at Bernabeu!! We would have been in the 2nd half of the table if it wasn't for this guy in the last couple of games. He will be craving for a solid defense in front of him. What a gk!! World Class!!! Currently he is probably 1st or 2nd best in the world
Big reason for this is the shaw injury imo
And that he faced teams that offered feck all up front apart from Swansea, where Romero did poorly in.
Also true. Hopefully he'll be rewarded with a few clean sheets soon the guy deserves, although it's clear to a lot of us, and hopefully big Dave is aware of this, just how important and appreciated he is by us
He wasn't tested in his first 3 games against poor opponents. He was sloppy and conceded 2 goals in his 4th.
that's why i hope the defense can help him a bit here and give him an easier time in goal and get some clean sheets too.
Hes a season or two ahead of Courtois in his development. Since Chelsea's defence has faltered hes shown some of the same weaknesses De Gea had in the early stages. Best in the world is tough to say, but best in the league undoubtedly.After a tough summer where he slipped down my list of favourite players it is safe to say he is back on top. What a man
DDG also needs to wake up a little. Hes had some dodgy kicks in the last few games, something he is usually excellent at.
He seems more hesitant when Fellaini isn't on the pitch. He is usually pretty accurate hitting him when he is under pressure but without the 'Fellaini out-ball' he seems to panic and put them out of play a lot.
Signing of the summer!
I agree, him being the best on the planet isn't an opinion anymore. He had no right to get to that header last night.

Made it into the top 10 plays of the day on ESPN even with a full day of NFL games, but they picked the wrong save. Silly Yanks...
