Still don't think we'll have him after May.
I'm calling it: DDG is the best we've ever had

Schmeichel but there's no shame being second best to the best keeper in European history.
I liked him the most so I'm a bit biased.
He's looking great in a crap team, but he needs to be able to concentrate for 90 minutes without having anything to do for most of it.
Best shot stopper no doubt but he lacks the presence and leadership when comparing him to VDS and Pete.
We've been blessed with three of the best keepers of the PL era.

It's seemingly a toss-up between him and Schmeichel for many people, at this point. Is there an agreement that he's already ahead of Edwin though?
Plus he shouldn't have to work that hard. Nobody has worked that hard in merseyside for years
You think De Gea is better than that? No way mate. Rapid Vienna away the next season too.
We would have beaten Barcelona if we had him in goal in 09/10. There, I said it - sorry VDS.
In terms of consistently pulling off world class saves, he's up there. He's still very young, it's not that far fetched that he'd be considered among the best goalkeepers ever by the time he retires.
Nothing wrong with his presence whenever theres a one and one is there?
Ive never seen a keeper save so many certain goals ever. he's the best.
Pretty much
Not true.
Jesus
Schemichel for me. Smalling and Blind would have retired due to social anixety by now if he was their keeper.
Love Dave, though.

He is great but I still put him behind Pete and VDS
Maybe in 10 years from now I might change

All this and people aren't even mentioning the fact that he's still only 25.
Serious? Chilavert, Kahn, Seaman etc were all class keepers. If anything, the 90s and early 2000s had quite a few more solid 2nd tier keepers than what we see now.
Nothing wrong no but not on the level of Pete who was a veritable man mountain. Presence extends to a wider area as well, ability to command the box on crosses and set pieces for example. David is much improved in this area but Pete could smash through 4 men, still catch the ball and then launch it 60 yards out of his hands.
"David De Gea is Heurelho Gomes without the shotstopping"
Schmeichel never played for a United team this bad. Hard to compare.
How's it relevant?
10 or so games left to enjoy this beautiful man.
That he's only 25 and already this amazing?
I dread to think what will happen when he leaves.
Please don't ever leave us, David.
Please don't ever leave us, David.
Navas would have saved the penalty.
Ah I see, yea true.
Wasn't he in the pfa team of the year the last time we won the league? Safe to say he has improved since then, and it's also safe to say that was a good team.
... we didn't play Barcelona in 09/10
Pity we most likely wont have him after this summer, due to our terrible upper level management.
It's because he's had a lot of fecking practice!
Schmeichel was better. The two are evenly matched in every department until it gets to 'presence'. Schmeichel was incredible, he was fecking huge and much more commanding the De Gea.
Don't think we'd be able to tell, cos he wouldn't be subjected to so many shots against him.
He's absolutely monstrous in 1v1's and catches almost everything that comes into his box.
He is, but what fecking use is it when he has a bunch of useless motherfeckers ahead of him and an inept baboon on the bench. pour me another mojoti
Hard to say. He's having to do a lot more work than VDS or Schmeichel because of the awful defence in front of him.
P4P I think you're right but in terms of legacy, he's 3rd.
