You must be referring to when he kept running his contract down because he wanted to join Madrid? Did us a real solid then. Or maybe when he cost us the top 4 at the end of last season? Or held us to ransom over a new contract when we were shit. Real hero is our Dave.If you have to ask, only this emote is fit as response really.
What's happened to De Gea?
- Thread starter Salus Populi Suprema Lex
- Start date
People are not calling him a clown. They are saying he is playing shit - which you cannot argue with.People calling him clown after all he did for the club are fecking clowns themselves. Mind boggling stuff.
Tbh in his prime he is one of the best I’ve ever seen. But I agree with all of your points above. He costed us top 4 last season. Ole need to be ruthless and bin him
Nothing to do with reflexes, he just pulled off a very good save tipping the ball round the post. De Gea lacks focus and looks mentally shot. Like he expects to make a mistake every game, which explains why it happens so frequently.
Yeah you're right, he's most certainly the best goalkeeper in the world and deserves to be paid as that.
He plays like the sandman.
He's finished. Can't see any top club want him
Did anyone argue with that? I am just arguing idiotic and disrespectful name calling, nothing more.Yeah you're right, he's most certainly the best goalkeeper in the world and deserves to be paid as that.
Ok most people are judging his form - if you want to just listen to a couple of people then that's on you. You think he's worth this place?
I just don’t know how he let that in. Can’t get my head around it.
I never called him names, some did and you're right to call them out on it, but De Gea is finished at this level, the signs have been there for at least 12 months
We have our very own David James. Let one in one minute then do miracle the next.
I actually went to school with DJ BTW and was his mate. Played with him while he was on schoolboy terms with Watford.

First step is admitting he's done. Most including our management seem unwilling to do that. Shouldn't play for us again.
He’s a bit older, has other things going on in his life, just got the contract of his dreams, has played a lot of football.
Subconsciously or not, it just doesn’t mean as much to him any more.

He's weak as piss and has been throughout his time here.
Do you remember the howler against Sunderland in the Carabao Cup?
Ole knows. It’s a delicate situation though.
Yes but with the contract he's on, we're stuck with him for a very long time.
DJ BTW would have been a great DJ name.
I've lost count of how many mistakes he's made this season alone.
It's not good enough.

The way he's going I would consider offering him to Madrid on a free
De Gea is an utter fecking liability.
The idea of us going to Leicester on the last day needing a result to make top 4 with De Gea in net shitting himself with nerves.
Disaster waiting to happen .
He's cost us top 4 before, he'll do it again

Who knows but first step is for player and manager to acknowledge that he is well below standards. He can’t be protected anymore.
Very odd.
But it has happened with a lot of keepers. Butland. Kepa. Hart. What has happened?

It seems as if his head is not in the game. I think you need to look at his personal life. Does he have a gambling problem or a girlfriend problem? Seems like he is not 100% in the game and thinking about something else.
Inexplicable. He's not in his late 30s or 40s; He should be in his prime as a goalkeeper.
Certain Fergie would have sold him before now, but then again we wouldn't be beholden to goalkeeper who occasionally makes world class saves under Fergie either
We can leave him on the bench. He'll cost us the money either way. No need to have him costing games as well.
They don't need a keeper and even if they did, they wouldn't take him. His wages are way too high.
I think he's just mentally weak. He bottles the big games when we need a win
He's always relied more on the physical aspects of his game (reflexes) than on the mental / tactical aspects (positioning, defensive organization, etc). So it makes sense he would decline at an earlier age than other keepers.
He looks like he's regressed back to the days of wandering around Tesco forgetting to pay for doughnuts - he can't concentrate enough.
Terrible form. I don’t know if he can ever get back to being a top 3 keeper. A lot of it is mental and could be addressed with the right coaching. But I don’t know if we have the setup for that.
Poor concentration again, unacceptable for a keeper at this level.
Didn't the club sack his handpicked coach when he signed the new contract?
No, he wanted to leave under Mourinho, the club wanted him to stay so they went out and got his GK coach from Atletico. De Gea signed a new contract despite telling his GK coach he was going to leave at the end of his current deal so the GK coach left as he felt he couldn't trust De Gea anymore and he wanted to stop working with him
Ole is the reason we've lost but he's the reason why we're getting thrashed. If we didn't concede so early, we wouldn't have dropped our heads so much.
18 months ago the aliens from Space Jam visited Carrington and came across De Gea and Sanchez.
Near post De Gea is back!
