oooo then I guess we can blame de Gea's few errors this season on him being unhappy with the way the media treat him

No, he makes mistakes because he's shit and he makes saves by accident. Keep up.
Pepe Reina: plays poorly when he's unhappy about his team not doing very well.
Still better than De Gea.

ReinaYou can blame it on whatever you like, the weather, poor refereeing, media pressure, Lindegaard, his star sign, what matters is the solution to the problem. If Reina's problem is that he's unhappy at Liverpool then moving to United would solve it, if De Gea's problem is playing badly media pressure then the only way to solve it is to leave, or spend a few years as another goalkeeper's understudy. If media pressure makes him play worse then it will be self perpetuating, as the worse he plays the more the media will be on his back.
Pretty much sums it up.
You're a tit.
My opinion hasn't changed since day 1. He's rough around the edges but has all the qualities to go on to be world class, at which point he'll return to Spain.
Leave it cider. You've made your point loud, clear and well except to the deaf and blind.
You've made your point now Kie, any further reiteration will be seen as wumming.
Top was right about you.
I'm your guardian angel cider, you just don't realise it. One day it will all unfold like a hollywood film.
So the back pages are gonna be going to town on him tomorrow by the looks of things...
*sigh*
*sigh*
As long as there's no fecking dancing in it...
We personally have no dancing scenes.
No more Berb this season. Evra has been playing well. feck it, that RVP hasn't been scoring enough for my liking.
Another stupid article on the telegraph
Here's one part I found quite funny:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...de-Gea-with-Iker-Casillas-on-their-radar.html
Then he links us with Casillas, who is not exactly an expert at dealing with high balls and would no doubt get crucified here for his tendency to punch almost every cross that comes in to the box.

Was looking through the treble winning season review on youtube(watched up till the Middlesboro cup game) and Schmeichel made some howlers in the first half of the season.
Also people tend to forget Schmeichel made some howlers in his early United career. Much bigger howlers than De Gea has made. Of course when Schemichel is retire, like any great player he is portrayed by media an fans alike as having infallible career.

That Schmeichel vid is a good reminder for some fans. I thought DDG was excellent at the weekend and was MOTM for me, even the "mistake" wasn't that bad a mistake, he probably should've gone at it a little harder but he was so unlucky that it landed directly at Lennon's feet.
The press in this country are a disgrace the way they've hounded him right from the start.
This thread would be like half the size it is without kie's wind ups.
Has Kie been banned for good?
There's no need for him, so I hope so.
I haven't been promoted long enough to give a full evaluation, but he went well overboard in this thread.
Can anyone figure out why they've been so obscenely hard on him? I've never seen anything like it.
Pop Quiz...ish.
If we HAD to sell one 22 year old, would you sell Welbeck or De Gea?

Tough ask, but...DDG. Though not necessarily because of inferior ability and/or potential.
Bebe.
Football doesn't really matter in any meaningful way, and yet I genuinely hope that Mark Ogden slips over on his way to stealing a living tomorrow and fractures his skull. I'm not quite sure what to make of that.
See, I really like Danny, but I'd definitely sell him. Without even blinking tbh.
DDG is our No1 choice right now. Danny is our 4th choice striker. The amount of 'promising possibly-will-be-one-day-world-class TM' forwards is a far wider market than the amount of 'promising possibly-will-be-one-day world-class TM' goalkeepers. Not to mention that the peak for a forward is his mid to late 20s, whilst for a keeper it's his early to mid 30s.
There's really no rational contest.

Was listening to Talksport a few minutes ago and they had a journalist on basically saying that he was finished at United. ''Fergie has lost faith with him and has decided to look elsewhere.''
I'd laugh if it didn't annoy me so much.
We need to remember that De Gea was brought up in Spanish football where the type of physicality on every cross into the box is nowhere near the level it is in England and where catching the ball is a skill that alot of Spanish goalkeepers don't have. Iker Casillas is widely regarded as the best goalkeeper in the world, and if we signed him tommorow, he to would struggle with the things De Gea has struggled with as well.
De Gea makes mistakes, but theres no doubt in my mind that he's our keeper for the future and he has shown signs of improvement. Like all young players, there needs to be patience with them because they will make mistakes, but we should tolerate them when the player is worth it, like Ronaldo was in his early years and De Gea is now.

Well, it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, this attitude in the media that DDG must go; we don't know SAF's thoughts after all. It would be a helluva shame though...I wouldn't swap him for any other 'keeper (though I'm almost certainly in the minority).
I've yet to hear a convincing technical explanation as to how De Gea actually made a mistake. He supposedly should have punched the ball further away...but how? Should he have stronger wrists?
Yes. Apparently he should also be a shouty bighead like Schmeichel & Hart, so defenders and attackers alike fear him...even though he probably makes fewer glaring errors than those two.
It's like people think he deliberately punched the ball with less force than he could have. Don't get me wrong, I hate it when he punches when he should catch (including a really fecking annoying one yesterday) but punching it was all he could do yesterday (the alternative being letter Caulker climb over Vidic and head the ball in) and he got up at the exact right moment and punched it as hard as he physically could. What the feck else was he supposed to do, magically become stronger?
Truth is, he didn't want to risk dropping the ball or having it knocked out of his grasp in such a crucial area; if anything, he took the sensible option, I think...though for some it was evidence of 'dodgy foreigner syndrome'.
Kie got banned again?
You couldn't have picked a worse pic of De Gea, Schteve. Poor lad looks like 42 year old hobo with only half of his teeth remaining.
That's stress, mate. He looked like a white David Haye, before he joined us.
