I'd like to see Neuer play in front of this shower of shite. The people who bang the Neuer drum on twitter only watch him twice a year any way. As for Courtois, he's nowhere near de Gea in terms of shot saved ratio, despite playing in a better team.

Casillas is over, surely that's a fact and not a statement. Navas is a decent backup, but he won't make it to the top 5 keepers in the world. RM need a very-good keeper.
DDG is from Madrid, he's young and brilliant, proven at the highest level, will be first-choice for Spain at the next major tournament and is playing for a club, who, frankly speaking, do not rank in the top 5 in the world at the moment.
Connect the dots?
Don't forget about them seeing all his tackles and dribbles... which have nothing to do with a goalkeeper.
Neuer is class, but as a goalkeeper, there isn't a lot between them. De Gea is a better shot stopper while Neuer is better with the ball at his feet, with one on ones and is better with crosses, though De Gea has really improved in those respects. Give De Gea a few more years and he'll be better then Neuer IMO.
Because we have a feck load of drama queens who give out 1's and 2's after we drop points even if we had certain players who played well.
He played for Atletico so I'm not sure if he would go to Madrid.
As I said now we certainly arent top 5 in the world but we are on the up and he seems to love it here.
So no need to be all negative.
Its time to stop us giving Madrid players time and time again.
And some of our fans regard our club like a stepstone for some players instead of being a pinnacle of some players' career.
HE can be 1st choice for Spain while playing with us.
I agree 100%
There really are not enough superlatives to describe the lads performance today and in recent weeks. Lovely to see RvP hug him in the interview after the match. The players and manager know his worth and I'm sure the fact he has good friends like Mata and Herrera here will be a bonus. With players like RvP, Rooney, Mata, Di Maria and Falcao here, and the likelihood of LvG signing more world class stars should also help.
Won't be long before it goes over 7. Leicester and MK Dons games hammered his rating, so even though he'll have been our MOTM in four games, the low rating he got in those two brings his average down a bit.
Norwegian paper's front page tomorrow, for you Pink Floyd fans.

Love it! Thanks for posting that
Take a look at our semi-final away against Schalke. Neuer was a one-man team that day and those Schalke guys were really below average (I'd say that they were worse than our defensive bunch, but maybe less injury-prone)
I have his rating at 6.9. Think his MK Dons performance hurt him. If you took those ratings out I'm sure it'd be a lot higher. Player of the year so far.
Remember the height debate from like 3 years ago? Well RVP is 6"0.
Picked it off reddit.
Edit: Dammit! Got beaten by Mel!
Edit 2: And Kid Moyes too.
Great performance again, now get that contract sorted Woody.
By Madrid's standards, going for De Gea would be downright sensible. A waning Casillas and Keylor Navas is hardly an obstacle considering they signed James when they already had Di Maria, Ronaldo, Isco and Bale.
But as long as we get into the CL, I think he'll stay. We can match any wage Real can offer, so they don't have that advantage any more.
His technique dealing with one on one's is amazing. He doesn't commit too early or simply fall to the ground. Saving with his legs is a great technique.
Watch Harts' reaction for Suarez' goal at the world cup. It was right at his chest but went down way too early like most keepers. Wanker

Or because he actually did start the season quite shaky and therefore the average will be lower than what it would be "expected" to be now??
Don't worry, you're allowed to say if de Gea has had bad games, I doubt he reads it.
Nah, player height posted on even the official site have been proven wrong time and time again. Here is a picture of him standing with 6 feet tall Gerrard:
Carrick was listed as 6 feet for a long time as well, but it's recently been changed to 6'2, which seems more accurate. Jones ain't 5'11 either.
I think it's the camera angle that made RvP, who is 1.86 (6'1 plus change), a little taller than De Gea. But De Gea is definitely not 6'3 or 6'4.

He's growing at a rate that Ronaldo grew at United. It's beautiful to watch but we all know how that fairy tale ended...
Sir Alex's last gem, a rough one slowly cut into something brilliant. He has shown himself to be mentally strong enough during tough times rather than fading into obscurity and that is in book the biggest reason behind his development.
Get. the. contract. sorted.
He had a couple of below par games sure but his average rating should still be higher then what it is. It's just when people rate players right after games, if we lose, it tends to be like 3's and 4's, or worse, which isn't exactly representative of what actually happens. Skews the results a bit.
Shame kietotheworld has been banned, he would have a thing or two to say about De Gea now.
Why is Anderson still here?, seriously.
Nobody will take him. He'll be gone when his contract expires.
He didn't have any particularly bad games but definitely one or two where it would be very hard to give him a good rating. Games where he conceded and did very little positive of note. The Leicester game being the real low point.
Been a steady and constant improvement since then. If he keeps this up he'll reach that Schmeicel/Neuer level, where strikers start to lose the mental battle before they even get a shot off. Balotelli could have played against him all night and still wouldn't have scored past him.
Fair comment, I'd imagine if people weren't allowed to vote for a couple days the ratings would be a lot different with everyone.
I thought he should of done a lot better with a lot of the Leicester goals. I wouldn't say he had a mare (like his infamous game vs. Blackburn) but he did concede a lot of soft goals.
I definitely agree he'll be up there with them 2. Ole made a point of similar in the post match analysis. He makes it hard for a lot of strikers to guess what he's doing. I wouldn't criticise him recently but can see why people were frustrated early on in the season.
Another note about keepers which I found funny which your post reminded me of is how people get so defensive if you'd have the audacity to compare him or any other keeper to Neuer. I'm not suggesting de Gea is better (nor am I suggesting you have said the same!) but people do really get their backs up if you suggest any keeper is even close to Neuer in any term of ability.
If he joins Real in the summer I say we ban @Vato. He is clearly feeding Perez inside info on who our best players are.
deserves Rooney's contract.
Fantastic analysis comparing him 2 years ago to now there by Gary Neville. The stats around crosses caught and errors made leading to goals vs shots is mental.
Ay, the best I've seen Neville on Sky for a while now. I didn't realise just how much more grown up and imposing he looks now in comparison to even a couple of years back in relation to his posture when faced with an attacker. He's the most important player at the club right now.
From around the 50% mark in his first 2 seasons, to now being 91.7% is unbelievable. I was shocked.
Also, we've had 15 errors of which only 1 has been punished. Liverpool have had 21 errors of which 6 have been punished.
I love you De Gea!
Wasn't he very good two seasons ago anyway? Just shows how good he has become now.
He was good but definitely still had his moments and was dropped for Lindegaard at one point. I believe after he came back into the team he was excellent from then onwards. Masterclass from SAF as usual.
If anyone finds a video of that Neville analysis please put it here.
This please.
