It isn't ridiculous. He's shite vs other keepers. A quick trawl through some of the better known teams/keepers shows he's dead bottom!
Romero - 10/34 - 29.41%
6 out of 32. He saved 6 and didn't save 26. So it's 32.
No, to say he is abysmal is ridiculous and it's an I'll informed narrative that's been trying to grow here for some time. You're moving the goal posts now to say he's not good versus 10 other keepers.
Oblak 13 in 41 (31.7%)
Well corrected stats. I read them as penalties saved out of a total number of penalties faced. It is infact penalties saved and penalties not saved! Whoops!
Come on man. He isn’t now, but he definitely was the best keeper in the world for a couple of years. It wasn’t just United fans who thought that. Most of the world did. That’s bizarre that you think that to be honest.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten it seems.
Some did, most considered Neuer the top man
Up until recently I thought Neuer was better, but not anymore, I'd put Dave in front of him now. When we beat 4-1 in Schalke in 2010/11 it was the best I'd seen since Schmeichel and am convinced if Neuer hadn't been playing we would have scored double the amount of goals mate.
Nope, most considered Neuer the top man before that two year period I’m talking about. Then it was quite a unanimous thing for a couple of years up until around World Cup time.
I don't think so. Despite being a great keeper for our team, we always overrated him a little.
He already is, even without the new contract.
Really?! Bloody hell. This new (alleged) offer is even more mental then.
He isn't.
Who is it then? I keep seeing all these "De Gea set to become highest paid goalkeeper in the world" headlines but if you actually search the list of highest paid GKs, it seems that not even Courtois at RM has currently higher salary than DDG.
Neuer earns 15 million per year.
Courtois - 13 million gross

Well the contact should have been sorted a year ago, he should have never got within 2 years of his contract expiring let alone the one year we face now
He didn't have a shitty season just a shitty patch and every player has those. Give the guy a massive break. He's still very much one of the best in the game even with his distribution weaknesses.
Bullsh*it - his form dipped in March 17, he was dreadful through the WC and didn't get over it into 2018. His % saves stats stayed low at below 70% which is dreadful & he's looked off "it" for 14/15 months now. Perhaps he has lost his concentration, with all they move talk and will autocorrect this year, but to say Shi*tty patch is nonsense.

Perth Glory changed his mind.
Typical of our fickle fanbase.How are people being negative about this?
Hopefully it's cause he might be playing behind a half decent defence for what feels like the first time in years.
Ha! Say it like it is dude! The guy has been awesome for us and he performed no worse than anyone else in our dysfunctional team last season. The guy is still top draw. So,he's made a few errors, what player doesn't? Just keepers are totally exposed.
Ignore the last few weeks of last season and last season he was underpar based on the expectations he's set, those expectations being games like the one against Spurs which people expect every week. The last few weeks of last season were downright awful and just compounded things
The absolute howlers came in a bunch towards the end of the season but he’s looked nothing like the best keeper in the world since at least the season before last. The wobbles were obvious enough from the very beginning of last season. Had a terrible WC and has been visibly rattled ever since.
Don't think anything's official, no.
Is that his fault? Spain’s golden era is over and we’ve been absolutely shite.Never excelled in European competition or on the International stage for Spain, but he's the best goalkeeper in the last 5 years and arguably our greatest.
Or let’s just take his overall form for United into consideration. You know, like any sane person would do.. He’s going to be 34 by the time contract is over. Hardly that old for a goalkeeper.
Him fecking up for Spain and losing the #1 spot to Kepa has nothing to do with Spain's golden period being over.
He can use them where it matters most and one of the best ever.
Spain are wankers for crap like that. Had st.Iker as number one way past his sell by date. So what Spain do doesn’t concern me. What De Gea does doesn’t concern me. He’s better than Kepa without a doubt. We’ve had plenty of Man Utd first team players who couldn’t make their national first teams.
