We should just recall Kovar and have him as our second choice.

Not sure how it’s my problem.
Perhaps not permanently. We've asked him to make big changes to his game lately. He may yet come good. I agree it's not looking great right now but this is a long term project. The one thing that is nailed on is that he is useless to us unless he makes those changes so he's doing what he's been asked.
Your problem is that you deem him to be World Class on occasions. This is complete nonsense. The guy is tragic.
Nope. We completely fecked up with Henderson because like a couple of goalkeepers before him, he saw the favouritism offered to De Gea and decided that he wasn’t going to be a sapp any longer. The whole world outside of Old Trafford knows De Gea is shit and absolutely nobody is sniffing around his free agency. Literally nobody.
The worst thing United could do is re-sign De Gea and still want to sign a new number one keeper, because many agents will advise their players that prior history suggests they may find a meritocracy here. No fecking way would I advise anyone to sign on the basis of competing for the shirt with De Gea. We have seen this story play out many times.
I'm hearing good things about him but is he ready? Still quite a young guy from what little I know of him.
If De Gea left this summer not one top team would be in for him. He’d be midtable in La Liga.
Spain dropped this clown ages ago. Why are we still persisting?
I think he's capable of being our second choice. Though I'd imagine he would want regular football.
He didn’t even make the World Cup provisional squad.
I dont have a problem in thinking he’s world class on occasions.
You do because he isn't.
Maybe you can understand him better now.
Shot stopping----------Good.
Distribution...............Poor.
Bravery......................No
Command of box ....Poor.
Mentality...................Week.
A Manchester United goalkeeper should to be at least good in half of these.
What is even more worrying is his mentality, for someone who has played these number of games,and has experience, one would have expected some form of calm,but his still jittery like a teenage goalkeeper.
We have to replace him.

No, I just can’t be bothered arguing with you.
The last time De Gea was world class was May 2018.
There's nothing to argue about.
I avoided commenting yesterday because it's the same ol thing. I do see some of his defenders have of course been quiet as usual after another stinker and will wait for him to do a save or two and act like he wins us points.
Everyone saying thank you for your service etc, I am now convinced he's cost us more than he's helped us through his career at United.
Added to fact you can't point to loyalty because he wanted to leave and circumstances meant he stayed.
Keep in mind he's cost us more than the likes of taibi, Howard, Carroll due to how long hes been with us
Ddg has been so lucky post Ferguson that we've been changing managers and been given a new start each time. Ferguson would have binned about five years ago (probably when he tried to leave)
Giving him that contract extension and pay rise last time was stupid. Keep in mind this was at a time he was apparently at his peak and no team came in for him. Not Madrid, not psg, etc. No top team wanted him five years ago...
Utd even halving his current wages means he's still the best paid keeper in the league.
Allison is on apparently 150k, and there's no way ddg should be getting close to that.
I said at the start of the season the GK is the most important part of the spine and you need to get that right and we should have Joe Harted him.
I'm hoping Eth is just trying to keep this guy motivated, but keeping him as a backup makes no sense at all.

Did you read the rest of the post?
Anything new? When is he signing the new deal?
Ok, I really didn’t think I’d be having to explain myself so lets get something straight here, I’m not defending DDG. I think he needs to go. The point I was making is that one minute he’s putting in a world glass save, the next he’s Massimo Taibi.
Tbf taibi was that for us, making a great save then having a howler.
Yeah, he was actually MOTM on his debut against Liverpool despite making 1 (maybe 2) errors for their goals. He made some top saves but was highly questionable at dealing with crosses and of course the massive howler against Southampton
Just seen this angle. He isn’t even standing in the centre of the fecking goal!
It’s mad how many errors come from basic technical flaws in his game. First we had the hand on the post nonsense and now this…
The worst thing about the shot he was trying to save was that he was trying to parry it or push it around the post with one hand.

It's lower league stuff this
Errors leading to goal 4 in the premier league, but there's plenty that didnt end up in goals. Only in yesterday's game he passed the ball twice to opposition, the second one to Antonio trying to pass to Shaw who mas at 5 freaking meters.
As you say its ridiculous how much a liability he's become.
No of course not many foresaw the Ronaldo meltdown and he could have picked up two attacking players for the sum we paid for Antony. But the club had some real issues and holes to fill. I am more worried about our old guard and the lot he was left with they are really failing him now.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing how you’d try and spin this one. Fair to say, it did not disappoint
Just waiting now for @Olecurls99 to release his PR statement on behalf of Team De Gea.
True. I never expected him to offload the entire set of players he doesn't want in one year. That process will take at least two years imo - expect the likes of McTominay, Fred, Martial, VdB, Williams, DDG, Telles, Bailly, and one or two others to go this summer. Which of course means a lot of new faces next year and the beginnings of a total reboot from the Ole years.
David de Fraud
Cannot believe there are people still defending him till the end in here wanting him to stay around.. why? Too much sentimentality of this fan base for players who aren’t good enough for us who then wonder why we are shit for seasons on end???? Make it make sense please.
David de Gea’s best form is long since behind him and people will say, but shot stopping!!! Yeah so if you look at the stats his shot stopping percentage I believe has him in the bottom half of goalkeepers across all of the top 5 leagues in Europe. He isn’t one of the best shot stoppers in the world anymore, hasn’t been for a long time, you are blinded by 1 or 2 good saves that multiple keepers around the world make on a weekly basis, you just don’t know because you don’t bloody watch them so you are wowed by De Gea, obviously.

people who are "blinded" can't find a goalkeeper who have much better shot stopping than DDG and along with other attributes that DDG is weak with
I'm on that sub a lot and I would say the majority know by now how poor Wout is but there is still plenty who talk up Ole still.
Geez relax people. De Gea was not the reason we lost on Sunday.
It was a schoolboy error and a costly one at that I agree. But we could have and SHOULD have scored a least 2 to claim the win. The fact that we can't seem to gets handwaved away cos out keeper made a blunder when the bigger problem is our goalscoring record.
If anything he cos us a point, same as Shaw against Brighton, cos heaven knows we were destined for draws on both occasions.

Said this back in August and it’s still true. He installs zero confidence.
Sorry to pick you out - what is your opinion now 4 months on?
