He is amazing! take Ronaldo & Messi out of the equation and he would be in with a shout for a ballon d'or!
Only think United fans rate him so highly tho. Think we overrate him a bit, never heard a non United fan call him top3. He is an excellent shotstopper, but further.... its not very special imo.
1) Neuer
2) Courtois
3) De Gea
I enjoyed reading this Vato, it's worth saying Ronaldo probably much more to United fans than Di Maria did to Madrid fans but that's by the by. At least we both got fantastic amounts of money for the respective deals. I think we can win the league as well, to complete the circle jerk, I fancy Madrid to finally defend the CL title.
Personally I can't think of 3 goalkeepers that are better than him so I think he is top 3 in the world. Neuer is head and shoulders above the rest and I do rate Courtois ahead of De Gea but other than that I can't think of anyone better. Casillas and Buffon are past there best so De Gea is easily better than him. Based on Cech's form for the last few seasons De Gea would come on top between the two.
Much love for that post Vato, well said mate.
LETS WIN IT FOR VATO!
Starting for Spain tonight, pretty sure people outside of United rate him highly.
Normally he is still behind Casillas, Spain are using lots of B players.
Cech was the best PL keeper last season..
This guy is the shit.
Lets just hope we don't remove that little "the" while he's here.

Why because he was voted in the team of the year? That's voted on by the players themselves and there have been a few strange inclusions over the years. Besides Cech was made to look a lot better by the fact he had the best defence in the league in front of him. De Gea wasn't so lucky. Personally I thought De Gea and Lloris had better seasons.
Anyhow this is going off topic so we better leave the debate at this.
The same non United fans who thought he was a waste of money in the first 2 years. Even though in those 2 years he was saving our arses almost every other game. He took a battering when he first came!
On Di Maria - one of the reasons I think its realistic to go for the league this year!
His performance last night was almost Messi-esque at his best. If he can maintain that level then.....well we have an amazing signing
Well let's see if we can get anywhere near the best out of him. Knowing us lately we are probably going to turn him into Matthew Etherington

Im still a bit of unsure where we will use him I did think it would be CM as we are low on quality, but after seeing him play wide last night, three assists and loads of dangerous balls into the box. Really puts the likes of Valencia and Young to shameI'd take Matthew Etherington over our other wingers!Well let's see if we can get anywhere near the best out of him.

Casillas is done with Spain (or Spain done with him, he's been awful for 3 years now). Also on Cech, De Gea individually was better last season, and the year before was voted in the premier league team of the year, and won our player of the year last year. Most people rate him really highly these days, not just United fans, basically anyone who watches him a decent amount.
Ask any Chelsea or Liverpool fans even and they'll admit to his quality, think I saw Barney even say that he was on par with Courtois the other day (which I agree with).
Anyways, not the De Gea thread. Still a world class player though without a doubt, like Di Maria, which is how the convo started.
Is it true that hes super inconsistent at times @Vato ?
I don't remember him being inconsistent at all tbh, at least not as obvious as someone like Benzema for example. Ofcourse he's had some less good games sometimes, but I really can't remember him being shit for a long period.
Great post.
Great stuff, echoes the growing feeling if we do get our shit together in the next month or so we can be very dangerous at the business end.
Add me to the Vato love.
This brings tears to my eyes. Need to light some candles!
Most quoted post ever?
Anyway I'd agree with you but only IF we drop the 352, Di Maria is best on the wing as you said and if we play 352 we'll have him stuck in midfield with two strikers up top, so we'll have lack of pace and width up top. Januzaj can also thrive this season if we play 2 wingers.
Is LVG's ego too big to admit fault and drop the 352? I don't think so.

@Vato's post made it to Redcafe facebook page. 
Thanks Vato
ADM is a fantastic player but it is a bit of a wet fantasy that we will compete for the title just because we bought him.
Sure, but no one is saying that either.
We didnt just buy him...
He moves us a lot closer to title challengers, that's for sure. I think Di Maria will win a couple of titles at United too.
I don't think you understood @Vato s post. He said we have a fantastic coach and squad and basically Di Maria will have his best season ever which will be important for the team because he'll spur them or/raise their confidence, no one is saying he'll individually win the title.
I think he can challenge for 3rd.
Attack: We have a title winning attack no doubt.
Midfield: We have a good midfield with depth once players get back from injury, if they ''click'' fast enough we'll be able to defend, create and attack for midfield. The three things we've lacked for some time.
Wingers: We can create and score, something we've missed since 2009, not to mention with pace.
Defense: Liverpool showed last year you can challenge with a shit defense but I don't think ours is as bad as theirs. If we can stay injury free a back 4 of Rafael, Jones/Smalling, Rojo and Shaw can be a great black line with a mix of lethal attack from the full backs, calmness with a ball playing CB in Rojo and pure power in Jones.
Keeper: Boss
All of the above is resting on the hope we drop the 352 and change to a wingers formation (442, 433 & 4231)
Why the absolute feck would they do that?
