Let us move slightly away from LVG, who I consider to be walking dead. He doesnt even disappoint me now and as someone said, let's wait for the release of that artsy masterpiece he has been colouring since the start of his reign.
DDG is a good keeper, a great keeper. What I would love to see though is where he would stack up if he has a decent 4 or 5 ahead of him. Would he beat VDS clean sheet record? Would he do heroics that equal the great Dane? He does have a mistake in him and lesser keepers like Taibi and Barthez have been pilloried for their moments not to mention Foster. I am not in the Hafi school of 'overrated' but DDG has both suffered and been elevated by the dross in front of him. His celestial predecessors had very good CBs and LBs ahead of them in most seasons. Finally, if he goes, I would not be averse to a switch with Keylor Navas. Navas is good and I think we somehow do get the best out of good keepers. I think that would continue.

Id take Schmeichel over him still.

I love how De Gea went through that very difficult period and has developed into one of the worlds best keepers.
I prefer him to Neur cause Neur is an arrogant so and so! The way he swans around miles outside his box, I know he's told to do this and is great at it but it annoys me! Love seeing him lobbed although it doesn't happen often.
I remember seeing De gea live at Anfield a few years ago and he looked like a skinny kid in goal, at time I thought this lad will never make it he's too slight etc. It was for a cup game and was right at the height of when De Gea was being criticized by everyone.
But well I was wrong he's unreal, defo my favourite keeper, he pulled off a few saves last night, one was offside but it was a reflex save with his right hand, not the greatest save he's made but it just stuck me how easy and natural he made it look.
He should have done better fro our goal but not many players would put the ball where Couthino did, had Cout, like most players would, either smashed it or tried to cut it back De gea would most likely have blocked it, he did leave slightly too big a gap but it was a world class finish.

Schmeics was a great leader and organiser as well as a great keeper, something we desperately need.
Three very different keepers, all world class.... We have been blessed in that area

DDG is world class and has been for a couple of seasons now. Wouldn't swap him for anyone.
Every keeper has a mistake in them.

De Gea very rarely makes a mistake, and his coming for crosses has also improved.
The guy makes saves he has no right to.
the best keeper in the world for me.
on a side note...hafi youre a . . . what used to be remotely humerous is just boring.... no one finds you amusing anymore.

De Gea is easily one of the best keepers in the world, Utd need him to stay so better get the fax machine serviced again this summer.
Schmeichel was the best keeper in the world and seemed to change what goalies do in one-on-ones, used to love the Great Danes flying starfish leaps in the face of attackers which put them off or he would block the shot

To be honest, I thought he made a mistake last night.

I agree melts. Left far too much space and made the finish easy for Coutinho

Any replacements? because unless we pay him a salary as high as your top tier striker, DDG is going. Maybe if Mou or whoever can convince him of his philosophy and process towards returning United to grea- wait, I used philosophy and process. Admin, ban these words!

I loved VDS and he was a top keeper but our fans massively overrate him because of the defence he had in front of him.
DDG is a better GK.
