David De Gea is in the Premier League's team of the year. He has been recognised as the season's best GK in the EPL. The kid has come on in leaps and bounds. If he stays fit, learns English, and keeps his feet on the ground - he could be a top class GK for club and country for the next 15 years.

Due to his age, De Gea will come into his prime around the time Casillas retires...

Re: Why did Man United spend 18m on De Gea ?
Oh how the tides have turned...
-Iker Casillas: Fallen out of favor with Mourinho and now a bench warmer for RM
-Victor Valdes: Has been extremely error prone since the 2nd half of last season and may leave Barca this season.
-Pepe Reina: Has seen his form decline and has endured 4 awful seasons with Liverpool
At this point De Gea looks like he has a shot at representing Spain at the 2014 WC. Unfortunately though Del Bosque is too loyal to certain players (i.e. Torres) and may once again snub De Gea.

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Why did Man United spend 18m on De Gea ?
Since he plays for Man Utd* and his defenders, coaches and manager speak English, don't you think it would be helpful for De Gea to become a fluent English speaker?
*Man Utd is a football club in England. Research has shown that the national language of England is...wait for it...English.

A year later it's time to rate GK's that are BELOW DDG
best keeper in the Prem
The ONLY keeper in Spain seeing as Iker is useless and the other one is warming the bench at Buy-earn

Re: Why did Man United spend 18m on De Gea ?
How time flies. Imagine trying to buy De Gea from a Spanish club today. Fitness guaranteed that guy will man United's goalpost for the next 20 years. Money well spent!!!

SAF buys a young barely known keeper for $18m and some boneheads here announce he must be stupid, possibly even corrupt.
Sounds very familiar.

Re: Why did Man United spend 18m on De Gea ?
he will only get better, that man will be worth 20 points to man united, Everton should have got a draw last Sunday! Gea saved our blushes, money well spent if you ask me, once our leaky defence gets sorted out, we will start to perform
So angry Nigeria got kicked out of the world cup once again, i nearly told my wife that i caught my girlfriend with another man today!
