Wonder if they got a bollocking from Fergie.

It was farcical. Why didn't he just wear a hoody/scarf/shades?
 
Yesterday was the perfect day to bring him over. "Look David, all those rumours about Manchester always being dull and rainey.. not true. It's even hotter than Spain, and we promise it's like this 365 days of the year"
 
In theory buying a GK should always be the least exciting piece of transfer news.

However signing a highly rated 20-year old who has already been making a big name for himself is actually pretty cool.

The fact that, on paper, replacing VDS with a 20-year is a bit risky just adds to the excitement.
 
Ooh, Mr Bryan, with your wag-based satire you're spoiling us.
 
just saw someone post this on the yahoo transfer blog thing...is there any truth to this?



Comment From Peter
De Gea is obviously a fantastic young keeper but ive seen that he conceded the most shots by a keeper from long range in la liga last year. Surely not a great sign when you consider that he has yet to face some of the cleanest strikers of a football on earth in the prem. Ie robin van persie and steven gerrard


just realised thats probaby peter from on here sending that :lol:
 
I've seen it a few times, assume it's accurate. He also had the highest number of saves in the penalty area I read this morning.
 
The stat about De Gea conceding more goals from outside his area than any other keeper doesn't really tell us much since Atletico Madrid conceded more shots on target in last season's La Liga than any other team bar one or two of the teams at the bottom of the table. We would need to know what percentage of shots he saved compared to the other goalkeepers (adjusted for difficulty of shots faced of course) to come to any meaningful conclusions.
 
The 20-year-old wrote on his official Twitter account: "I have been invited by Man Utd to see the club and the city with my family and to be given an offer.

anyone know his twitter page? thats being reported in quite a few sources.
