Dave Stays - New Contract

David De Gea said:

“It has been a privilege to spend eight years at this great club and the opportunity to continue my career at Manchester United is a genuine honour. Since I arrived here, I could never have imagined I would play over 350 games for this club. Now my future is fixed, all I want is to help this team achieve what I believe we can and win trophies again, together.

“As one of the senior players in the squad, I want to support and lead in any way that I can to assist the younger players, so they know what it means to play here. I still feel that I have so much more to achieve at the club and I truly believe that Manchester United can build on the club’s tradition of success and reward our fans for their support.

“I am committed to continue repaying the fans for all of the care that they’ve shown me during the good times and the bad.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said:

“I am delighted that David has committed his long-term future to the club. Over recent years, David has proved himself to be the best in the world and a vital part of our plans as we look to take Manchester United back to where it belongs. David is a fantastic person and his outstanding quality provides the perfect base to our defence.

“Over his time here, David has really understood the values of playing for Manchester United and now represents everything you want in a goalkeeper. As a player he is still hugely determined and hungry to achieve more. We all look forward to working together to meet those ambitions over the coming years.”

Good news but if he doesn’t find his form again might be a curse as we’re possibly stuck with a keeper whose best days might have been behind him. I don’t buy his poor form was because he was distracted by his club situation. Makes no sense. When he was dropped by LVG it was because the move was within 1/2 weeks of the dropping and that could have been a situation. But as far as I’m aware this hasn’t really gottten close at all to him leaving us.

As it is we have a keeper who is poor with the ball at his feet and we’re possibly moving to a footballing future where the best keepers are judged on their footwork and quick reactions at coming off their line rather than shot stopping.

I guess we will find out in the next few months if it was just his head and mind being elsewhere.

He did impress me on the weekend though

Yeah, that save against Madison was hugely important for us. Imo the best shot stopper in the world. Hopefully we can build something good in front of him 👍

He's not "poor" with the ball at his feet in the slightest. He may not be one of the top keepers in this regards, but he's not a slogger either. We've got three CB's who are good with the ball in Maguire, Lindelof & Tuanzebe. It's not really an issue.

He does need to cut the strange errors out quickly though. Only time will tell if his mind was elsewhere or the issues are more terminal.

Great news. I am somewhat surprised he has, but he’s a top player, so this is great.

I don't think DDG is particularly poor with his feet... His distribution isn't Schmeichel or Edwin level obv... And he's not the sweeper keeper as is the fashion atm

He's a hell of a shot stopper though... Admittedly with a spell of poor form last year... But I think given some of the "dave saves" displays down the years we can forgive him

As long as he's got his focus and form back... This is brilliant news

Great news.

Get to Jan In or around 4th, get 1 or 2 more in depending on who is and isnt performing and I fancy us for a top 4 finish and a big Summer .

Robb is relentless in his quest to find misery in any situation.

Get Shaw back fit and we will actually have our first settled back five since 2011. Great news.

If you suspect I am Wahl, then you just need to ask if I would sexually pleasure Jose.

I wouldnt, Wahl however would happily oblige.

imo De Gea cost us top 4 last season simply because of the individual errors that cost towards the end that cost us a shiiiiit load of points.
yes points were dropped elsewhere and mistakes made by others, but this was a huge difference overall.

However.... that comment from Robb is an absolute pile of stinky poo poo.

when the feck is a Goalkeeper EVER going to be judged more on his ability to kick a ball rather than keep it out the net?

im pleased he has signed, and hopefully we will see less of the individual errors.

Everyone knows you are RDD, every one knows Vida is Vida. Wahl doesnt have a username starting in the 6000s. He's been banned too often for that.
