Then you will realise both are shite.
One of them can still pull out the occasional good save though. The other can't even save a whole bus being shot at him.

Both are shite. De gea is done at the top levelOne of them can still pull out the occasional good save though. The other can't even save a whole bus being shot at him.
Bring back Dave. I don’t care. Swallow humble pie.
League winners Face 70 shots a season = your defence give oppo striker almost no space to breathe, angle of attack and most aspects help make those 70 shots likelier to save.
We Face 145 shots a season = defense is lax and you Face more tough shots and more of them. So many shots and harder ones.
DDG 70+% saved. We as a club made him look worse but paid him handsome for it.
DDG should be judged on these premises.
He was WC for us to the very end and masked glaring holes with us.
Thank you DDG! Miss you.
He is 10x the keeper his replacement is. FA cup I mostly blame Varane, for both. Fans here want to scapegoat DDG when in fact we have had bigger issues, mainly inability to score.The beauty of time. You know what De Gea did in his very last European game right? How about his very last game for us in the FA Cup?
He was world class but not to the very end.

Memories sure are short when it comes to football.
Except stats hold him as top4 tier.. and point to defensive issues elsewhere. He might not be worth or able to match £375k/w but that's not his fault.He was not anymore. Honestly I think a lot of you have forgotten how many mistakes De Gea made last season. He is finished now and we needed to move on.
Yep. People forget that De Gea made as many major blunders leading to goals in his first 2 games last season as Onana as made in his first 10 games now.
Onana is already on thin ice, of course, but the cries to have De Gea back are insane.

last season De Gea had issues, when ETH played him as a sweeper keeper. yes, but the reflexes on that guy.. and do we really get any value out of Onana´s ability to run out of the field. nomatter what modern football is, shotstopping, reflexes should be no.1 and getting rid of a golden glove winner, was just plain stupid.
To be honest, i would have picked Kasper Schm... up as a reserve when i got Onana, he was free, had the age. and would have been a good backup, because Onana needs a few matches on the bench.. he needs to reevaluate.
We are talking here about a keeper who has been available for free and yet no takers. A goalkeeper whose national team haven't called him for about 5 years now in favor of the likes of Kepa and Unai Simon. He was made to look good because his one skill shone in a terribly underperforming side where that skill was called upon more often than it should ever be for a club with our aspirations. Even if Onana is not the answer, DDG most definitely did not and does not belong anywhere near a club of our ambitions.
It's like comparing a pile of shit with a mountain of vomit at the moment.Onana is the better player but De Gea is the better keeper.
Am I doing this right?
Ah the revisionism of this place is hilarious. Last season De Gea cost us the Europa League semi final and Fa Cup final and that was just last year. He’s been full of mistakes since the 2018 World Cup and was that one season he cost us top four by letting every long range strike go in the back of the net.
There’s a reason he’s considering retirement.
What like the EL semi final and cup final ?Had no issues with him had the odd mistake that cost us.. the good out wayed the bad.. I've no time at all never have for the new keeper..
Not only that, this was a season with particularly high demand for goalkeepers. Bayer, Real, Arsenal, Chelsea and Inter all were actively looking for a new goalkeeper. Not to mention many other non elite clubs. These clubs chose to spend money or stick with what they have instead of going for free agent DDG. His national team trust Kepa, Simon and whoever shows good form under many different managers over him. The ABU overrated DDG because there is no bigger backhanded compliment to a team than praising their goalie. It's like when a manager at the end of a game blames a defeat on how the opponent's goalie was man of the match. DDG could make a worldlie save here and there at his peak but that was literally his only world class quality. Not even close to good enough.Agree.
There's a reason he's still without a club too. Every top club knows that he is past it.
We need to move forwards not backwards.
Yep.. Still better than this new guy who's couldn't save a empty bag of crisps floating through the air.. ETH had made a massive error with this guy and it could cost him..... I won't change my mind on Onana until he does it for me by being better somehow I don't see it happening , maybe when the defence is all fit ? Even then I still think he's not a good keeper... Massimo Taibi was from the Italian league as well and touted as one of the best..What like the EL semi final and cup final ?

Onana might not be the answerI can’t believe how many genuinely want him back
I can't believe how many people are still underestimating him.I can’t believe how many genuinely want him back
Please do enlighten Us then why the heck He is still without Club and don't have Clubs lining up for his services .I can't believe how many people are still underestimating him.
Guy had some blunders (like every gk has) but for every shitty game, he had 4 or 5 games when he would literally save us with amazing saves.
But yeah, who needs gk who saves shots? Did you see those short passes to Evans and Maguire? That is proper goalkeeping.
It means exactly that. Read with understanding. I never said that we didn't need better gk. Of course that there are better gks around. I am talking about the fact that we released good gk (and De Gea still is and was good gk) and spent 50 mil on top of that to have worse gk than we had.Please do enlighten Us then why the heck He is still without Club and don't have Clubs lining up for his services .
Just because Onana has been Gash doesn't by any mean prove that decision to let De Gea go was wrong .
De Gea is not Joe HartGetting him back in would be like City going back for Joe Hart after Bravo shat the bed. Even if Onana does turn out to be our version of Bravo, it's not the answer.
De Gea is not Joe Hart
De Gea is not Joe Hart
Well no, Joe Hart was given a contract by a Champions League club.
Jeez. it's only Celtic, who'll probably be pumped in every CL group game. I doubt de Gea would've lowered himself to their level and would prefer his PlayStation Tuesdays.One is playing in the UCL whilst the other is playing PlayStation on Tuesday nights
