You're acting like his jilted lover. Fergie would have sold him ages ago, just like he tried to do with Rooney. We're not going to crumble because a goalkeeper leaves.
You're obsessed lad, have a day off.
So because you dont have a come back to the shit you were previously spouting you're now deciding to start talking hypotheticals about what Fergie would have done. Ironic you're telling someone else to have a day off
Yeah. When you say Fergie would've sold him, you obviously mean Fergie wouldn't have sold him, right? I get it
I've already made my point about De Gea but for some reason anyone that disagree's with you isn't a real fan and deserves to not see United be successful so what else is there to say?
They had a better season last year, but to disregard everything Dave has done for years before that and say they are better is just fickle to be honest.
Like I said before 12 months ago would you have had a problem with making De Gea the best paid goalkeeper in the world? And while you can blame him for not making the top 4 last season (a highly arguable point in itself) what about all those other seasons when he alone was responsible for keeping us competitive in a top 4 'race'. While I get to a certain extent there should be little room for sentiment in top level sport you don't appear to be cutting any slack to without doubt our best player for 4/5 years post Fergie
To be fair, that baines ones aside I don't remember him saving any. None in the two League Cup shootouts against Sunderland and Derby.
Lukaku (lol) in the FA Cup SF
I back him to save more than 4 comfortably.
More like 3 years..
First of all, I have no problem the club paying DDG highest salary by far for GK in the world if he is still the best goalkeeper in the world or at the very least in England. The problem is he isn't and not just because Liverpool and Man City had better season. Both their goalkeepers are world class and playing modern possession football from the back with great goalkeeping abilities to boot.
keeper wise thats nothing.
Ederson isn't great at pens I agree. But he's much braver and on another level to De Gea as far as distribution goes. De Gea wouldn't get ahead of Ederson at City.
3 years is a significant difference actually. Ederson is a much better allround keeper now than he was at 22.
I'd consider getting that checked then, he saved two vs Sunderland in the shootout in 2014, Grant was in goal for the shootout vs Derby.
you literally made that up though. he isnt well rounded at all.
I made up a opinion that is shared by Guardiola, ok..
You make it sound like people have given him good ol kicking. I'm sure he'll be fine with a little bit of criticism.The way some turned on De Gea…
One bad season, you fickle cnuts.
People haven't forgot his shot stopping abilities believe it or not. But there's more to goalkeeping than just being good at shotstopping.
So he's only a good shot stopper now? He's litteraly been our best player since SAF left. We'd be screwed without him.
His distribution and command of his area leaves alot to be desired.
Ok - let's make it easy. Name one goalkeeper who is available and would cost less than what we can sell de Gea for ?
We have one on the books already in Henderson who deserves a chance.
I understand where you’re coming from but at the end of the day he’s in the last 12 months of his contract and doesn’t look like an improving goalkeeper. He’s skill set revolves largely on his cat like reflexes but his all round game is bang average, command of area, coming for crosses, long shots, distribution, playing out from the back with his feet etc. Once his reflexes start to go he’s going to fade fast and I don’t think we should take that risk but making him and expensive paper weight like Sanchez.
Why would either have joined us from Atletico?
That's Solskjaer's job, even if we would have finished in the champions league a domestic competition doesn't decide 99% of a players decision. The manager is required to upsell the project and how he hopes to implement the player. Solskjaer seems incapable to attaining a decent calibre of player, the likes of AWB and Daniel James typify top 8 targets where they can be easily convinced to join.
Actually that is Ed's job. Ole gets a say in the targets along with Joel Glazer and Ed but then Ed goes off and negotiates and tries to sell the players on the club etc. Solskjaer has far less power than you seem to imagine here. It is part of what Mourinho sulked about last year, he asked for numerous players and Ed didn't deliver. For all you know Ole asked for de Ligt, Saul, Ndombele, Oblak and Neymar and Ed is just stringing him along before unveiling Charlie Austin and Joe Ledley on the last day of the window.
He's not even considered the best keeper in Spain (behind a fairly average keeper in Kepa) yet you think he's the best in the world and therefore worth £350,000 a week, OK.
