Yep. The DDG we see week in week out has been unrecognisable to me whenever i've seen him play for Spain in tournaments.
De Gea Signs New Contract to 2023 (+1)
- Thread starter IrishRedDevil
- Start date
The vote was against Kepa so that's an irrelevant point.
Excellent! One less thing to worry about next window.
I know there are mixed feelings about this, I for one am delighted he renewed his contract.
I wouldn't take any stock of casual fan's opinions based on a few performances for Spain. He's been unrecognisable to me whenever i've watched him at tournaments for Spain, compared to week in, week out for us. 92% for Kepa shows it's nonsense.
They couldn't make it any more obvious that we were waiting to announce this deal after he kept a clean sheet in a win.
Great news! More stability for the team. Let's hope he gets back to his best form now that this is sorted.
Redcafe account dedicated to shit on De Gea.
Another crap post from you, 18 months?
This number seems to be going up, next it will be 5 years.He cost us top 4?... he was part of it sure but are we going to ignore other players?
Nothing to do with signing a contract, He's a brilliant shot stopper better than Alison and Ederson at that.... Some of our fans have memory of a gold fish or some like you also include making stuff up like 18 months.
That bold part is possibly the most idiotic thing you posted today, Beats your previous comment. So well done.
Signing DeGea to a long contract is very good thing. It really seems that club is on good way. Last couple of weeks show that. Whatever the wages are it is better to sign him up instead of buying new keeper that would cost us more (sign on fee, contract, transfer fee).
What people should understand is that this is not only good for the team. It is important for the club to show the football world our ambition. Yes, he hasn't been himself last year but he has started well this year.

Well its not everyday you keep a clean sheet against the mighty Leicester.
I was critical of DDG because it seemed the contract situation affected his performances. But there is no doubt he is an excellent shot stopper, probably the best in the world.Another crap post from you, 18 months?

Yes he made mistakes but like I said at the end of last season he has enough good will from over the years where he has single handedly got us points for the fans to support him when he is struggling.
This weekend it seemed he was back to his best and hopefully that continues.
Sure
Celtic wouldn't put it that way.
Just had a glance through his post history, at least 70% of his total posts are dedicated to arguing De Gea is overrated. The hell is that all about?
There is still a great GK in there somewhere. Hope the club bring in good coaching staffs to work with him both on his mental and physical side. Good showing against Leicester. He still young for a gk hopefully all is settled now and put the worst season behind his back. He can push forward for captainship. Wanted him to leave but now that he signed, will cheer him on once again. Onwards and upwards dave!
WUM/Troll maybe.Just had a glance through his post history, at least 70% of his total posts are dedicated to arguing De Gea is overrated. The hell is that all about?
Apparently ManUtd fan whose only contribution is shitting on ManUtd's best player for years.
First it was the last few months of last season he was poor.
Then it was a year.
Then someone said it has actually been 18 months
Now i'm reading that he's been poor for two years!

Having watched the trailer they launched to go with his signing I feel like they missed a trick by not having him sitting on a throne on the goal line counting wads of cash maybe making it rain on some peasants like Lingard or something.
You can argue De Gea's form has deteriorated since his contract issues sure but to argue he's always been overrated for years has to be a wum.
Maybe we should ask Dave if he remembers running over a cat in green and white hoops...Just had a glance through his post history, at least 70% of his total posts are dedicated to arguing De Gea is overrated. The hell is that all about?
Crazy people, did everyone forget his performance last season against Spurs? Single handedly pulled a Gandalf on them.
Now all We need is Pogba to sign a new contract to cause uproar and hysteria after this brilliant news. 
He's a Celtic fan
And ManUtd fan apparently.
On a sentimental level, I'm delighted. By quite some distance our outstanding player of this hellish decade, De Gea have should have long earned the affection and respect of any right-thinking United fan.
On a more pragmatic level, he really needs to rediscover his best form. I don't buy that his reflexes have dulled at such a young age, particularly as most of his errors over the last few months seem to have been down to concentration. The worry is that it isn't something as simple as the contract situation that caused this issue as the poor form started with a pretty dire world cup for Spain, which should presumably have been unaffected by his contract with us. If it's a more generalised confidence problem then it may linger yet.

I think, if I can recollect, he made 11 saves in that one game. I'm sure his critics will point out that they could have comfortably made 10 of them.
Great news. I still think that the loss of form was just temporary, he'll get back to top 3-5 keepers in the world in no time.
1) we were different team back then.
2) fans are more critical and desperate now.
3) we should bring back the old full member rules.
I thought some fans would learn something from Rooney's contract saga. And us when giving out Sanchez and Schweni, big players having bad season, a mega salary.
Meh..
Meh..

The thing is he's being criticised for not commanding his box, or not being able to play out from the back but both of these were arguably true whilst he was in Matric mode.
Enjoy your doom and gloom!
Ah, that was a vintage performance vs Spurs. We completely folded like a cheap suit that second half and if not for De Gea, would have got embarrassed.
Put some respect on his name.
Grates on me he holds the club to ransom, waits til there is months left on his contract and then posts on Twitter “There’s no place like home” when it’s announced. Its Bollocks. Just be truthful and say “Theres nothing like earning 400k a week after bonuses”.
That all said, i know its in his and his agents interest to sign the best possible deal but it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Hopefully with this in the past he can concentrate on his performances after a few shakey moments over the past 6 months or so. On his day he is one of the best in the world.

There's some fair criticism but a lot of people going over the top.
Couldn’t really care less about his national team. It didn’t stop me thinking Steve Bruce was a top class CB, just because he never got a cap.
It’s what he does for us that matters, and he deserves some slack from ‘fans’ about his dip in form - it happens to most (human) footballers.
DDG doesn’t care about the keyboard warriors, the match going fans support him.
David is a professional, and this `being valued by your club thingy - is now sorted out`
David would not have signed if he didn`t believe in the project - he just wouldn`t, that is non discussable!
Now, do your job and back your players, and give de Gea another warm welcome a GK needs confidence - back him!
PS. This also shows that Ole does not scare players off (according to plenty posts on redcaf and that he is not a complete weirdo `sarcasm`)
I like de Gea, he is likable - this Man Utd team starts to be very likable (end the mercenaries), and like someone famous once said, the GK is half the team!

I don't want to believe that him committing won't turn out to be anything less than great news. Hopefully we see him play more like he did at the weekend than the previous 12 months.
Basically a no lose situation for us as if now he’s got the contract situation out of his mind and can focus on football again he’ll get back to being the best keeper in the world again, if he doesn’t and we sell him we won’t shortchange ourselves as he’s under long term contract.
Definitely a positive step forward though as alongside Pogba De Gea is our only genuine world class player and it shows players believing we’re headed in the right direction, hopefully now we can sign Pogba to a new deal too as well as Gomes and Chong then we can fully focus on bringing in the new players needed to really push on.
