Goalkeepers are without a doubt the most disrespected and underrated positions in all of football
As good as he was in the club, he kinda sucked in the national team.
@@gold9994 I mean, you have to admit everyone kinda sucked in Spanish national team 🤷🏽♀️
@@marcysai146 yep, true lol. They peaked at 2012.
@@marcysai146 yeah since that horrible casillias 2014 WC tournament no spanish keepers have really performed great
Despite how Manutd treated him in his finals days, he still rejects any interview request out of respect for the club. Class act really :)
Meanwhile the unintelligent masses: Well he didn't play now, didn't he? No club wants him.
Should have taken the opportunity to blass them and stand up for himself smh
@@shuraamano he was approached by Sevilla, Girona and Some Saudi clubs but he declined
@@ssjxnpretty sure it was salary issue😂 they can't afford him
Yeah it's called signing an NDA, obviously you are underage or unemployed but signing an NDA means you cannot discuss anything about your previous job.
Bring him back, The disrespect on David De Gea is a disgrace.
He's so good that he's training at Altrincham
@@spacedoge6540 Better than Onana.
@@user-jc8kh2ny8n c'mon everyone tall is better than this clown
@@spacedoge6540 he is better than onana by miles
@@Alleyesonrafa10i don’t believe that
375,000 pounds a week. He deserved every cent. 10 years with the club. His saves earned us at least 15 points every season. One of the worst decisions by the club ever to push him away. Sad,
FFP regulations
Do you forget the fax event?
I can't agree more. There's a reason i never faulted him for his mistakes during his off periods because while they were downright awful at times and easily worth dropping most goalkeepers for he had more than earned the right to have a bad season or two. The sheer amount of times that man has saved shots he had no business stopping in a United shirt is unreal. We had some of the worst defences at times just conceding shot after shot and good chances too not questionable shots from sketchy positions, and De Gea just managed to keep the ball out of the next in some of those seasons
@@shivdmanwii best United player in the past 10 years.
come on, every cent? no player is worth that lmfaooo
De Gea shouldve inherited Casillas' spot in the Spanish team. Idk why the fuck the coaches never called him. He was so goddamn good. Probably still is! Such an underrated goalkeeper.
Well, simply put, he was called up regularly with Spain in his early career, then proceeded to make several game-costing mistakes with the national team match after match (which was and still is quite inexplicable), and never got called again after that.
He was called for spain until he played a world cup where he did a total of 0 saves in 4 full matches. Every single shot was a goal.
@@spanishcrabthat’s factually inaccurate
@@simgarfu you're correct, he continued to be called, but almost didn't play anymore. It was clearly the reason why he stopped being considered as the main goalkeeper
@@spanishcrab he def wasn’t at his best for the national team, that’s for sure. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. In fact, since Casillas, I don’t think Spain has had a consistently strong gk
He’s earned enough money to never work again
But he absolutely has the ability to play again if he chooses to
@@notfunny007 ofc he does but for what? he's been at the top level so he's not going to want to step down to a worse team, even going to saudi or the mls would just be for money which he doesn't seem to care about. There isn't really any spots available for him at any top Champions League teams at the moment so looks like to me he'll retire.
@@garystill1308 same. He's been spending time with his family and will always be a legend
This is a funny comment…these people earn enough money that their grandchildren do not have to work.
De Gea was easily one of the best keepers United have ever had. I grew up watching United in the 90s fielding stoppers such as Les Sealey (RIP), Gary Walsh and the great Peter Schmeichel, and all the rest who filled in between then and now (Barthez, Taibi, Bosnich, Van Der Gouw, Howard, Carroll, Romero et al). But De Gea ranks in the top 3 I would say, alongside Schmeichel and Van Der Sar. It's bizarre that he's now a free agent.
Van Der Sar has to be on that list of the top 3 surely
Schmeichel/vd Sar had walls in front of them .. Stepney has a shout .. I agree with de Gea .
At some point the salary expectations become higher than the value a player can bring to the club especially with rising talents who can offer you longevity.
These former United players are the end of their former club
Our keeper since I was a kid. Walking into Old Trafford and seeing Onana standing in his place was such a strange sight.
Years of him saving us - and we just let him go. There should have at least been a proper send off for him.
The thing is, it’s really been exaggerated how “bad” he is with his feet by everyone. It’s not THAT bad. He’s just not that 11th outfielder. Maybe this makes him less desirable for a top team, but there are plenty of top goalkeepers who aren’t as good with their feet. Nick Pope was arguably the best in the league last season, and he’s nothing special with the ball at his feet. Areola has been one of the best this season, and he’s a classic shot stopper, too. It doesn’t help that De Gea is terrible rushing off of his line as well, so that makes it worse, but I think he’s just been treated this badly cuz he played for United for so long. It was the right time for him to be let go. He made too many mistakes in his last season. Especially shot stopping mistakes, which is where the line was drawn. However, I hope he finds the right team to suit his style, and he continues his career at least into his late 30s. He was still making better saves than any other keeper in the world last season. His reflexes are not human.
Nah his last season was really good, it was the season two seasons before that he wasn’t that good.
But he recovered really well, I think the problem is that he just can’t get of his line that well, from corners I mean, 1v1 he’s pretty good at.
@@VirkStar321 I agree with the rest of your statement, but his last season was awful. So many mistakes. West Ham, Brentford (I think that's the right team), and Sevilla are just a few examples. He had lost his confidence completely.
@@oscarjenkins7505 him and onana have some Extreme Reflexes like their insane
He is a conundrum
He would fit perfect for bad clubs as a shot stopper
But he wont go there probably
I’d rather have a great shot stopper than a midfielder play in goal (like Onana). Idk why modern coaches get a hard on for ball playing gk’s who can barely stop a shot. Just put fucking Modric in goal if you want a passer so much.
He would be a huge upgrade at so many decent clubs.
that 2018 world cup changed something in DDG. he was never the same again, united's atrocious defense was constantly saved by de gea then after 2018 he became a punching bag for blame, in england and spain. he missed the last penalty in the europa league final was one of the nails on the coffin.
You have 10 foolish players who can’t play the ball properly . But the main issue is not having a keeper that can ??????? Make it make sense
now they have a keeper who can play the ball with his feet but can't save.
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670i dont think you actually watch any of onana’ matches
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, Bastian Schweinsteiger revealed that David de Gea had asked him if he was better than Manuel Neuer. Schweinsteiger responded, “No, you are not. It’s a different level.” He explained that Neuer, considered one of the world’s best goalkeepers with an impressive career and numerous titles, plays at a higher level. De Gea was somewhat upset by this response, but Schweinsteiger stood by his opinion, even after de Gea’s outstanding performances. Additionally, Schweinsteiger criticized Manchester United’s team performances and their then-manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Sounds like sour grapes given Schweinsteiger did not have a good spell at Man utd
Ask the same Schweinsteiger who the best midfielders in the world are, and he'll say Micheal Ballack and Toni Kroos. 😅
@@Chicharito413 You didN#t get the meaning of the statement... In this case - Schweinsteiger should be mad if de gea didn't say its him. But tbh: Kroos and Ballack were crazy ones, but not the best. But definitly in the top 5% of players...
Schweinsteiger was also a beast. Alone his outstanding performance in wc final 2014 and he is humble.
@@the_12th_man_ de Gea and Neur were not as far apart as Schweinsteiger claimed. They are a different type of keeper but both were world class. You can say Neur is better but not on the scale of levels.
@@the_12th_man_ I'm not sure we got the meaning of the statement from what you said either. A mix between being nonsensical and not true.
The fact that United even had Tom Heaton as a substitute goalkeeper this season and chose to let De Gea go, even without giving him the secondary role is disgrace in itself.
United should bring him back this season, at least he won't cost half of what Antony cost us with his shit
its very sad how united treated degea, he is a a club legend, shouldve had a proper send off, a testimonial match
I don’t understand how de Gea an elite goalkeeper has been without a club for literally a year. Isn’t he what 33 years old. I totally forgot about him. The last time he played a competitive game either for club or country was June 3rd 2023 in the FA Cup final for Manchester United which proved to be his last ever game for the club, since then he has been a free agent and there isn’t any signs of him finding a new club.
i hope he plays again, and they appreciate him. Pleasure watching him play, as a goalie myself. Loved his style
Problem is that these days de gea's skillset is only appreciated in a team that doesn't keep much possession.
No big team really needs a shot stopper because they control the whole game. Now de gea would make a difference in the big games which are closer. But that isn't enough to have him in the team.
It's sad to see one of the greatest shotstoppers ever not playing anywhere but tbh he also doesn't want to play anywhere but the top level and that's why he is without a club still.
Sure, he had his limitations, but he’s very arguably the greatest pure shot-stopper in the game’s history
What a great appreciation video to one the goats. Definately missed.
Super Dave is a United Legend who saved us through the shite post Fergie era! Thank you Mr. De Gea!!! Glory Glory Man United!!!
brother this is amazing content. subscribed
Seems like de gea is finally joining a club
Ever since cristiano did that to him in 2018 he was never the same 😢
True man, I was having the same opinion about De Gea. In that 2018 WC Spain vs Cristiano aka Portugal match, Cristiano may have killed that OP GK part of De Gea.
That match broke his confidence
@@Abhilash_Jenade gea did good Ronaldo was just better
I once heard the argument that De Gea also struggled on his first season with Utd, just like Onana. But De Gea was a 19 year old prospect during his arrival where Onana has been a journeyman thus far and is currently 28. Imo, 27 in the halfway mark of any players career and I feel Kobel still has more to prove. Utd are known for having some of he best keepers in the world, and Kobel can probably claim such title. If they aren’t willing to bring De Gea back, they should do everything to bring in Gregor Kobel from Dortmund and maybe put Onana on loan at least.
De Gea is a freaking Legend of the Club. One of the best goalkeepers in the prem period.
But best goalkeeper of the world is a strech. Casillas, Neuer, TerStegen, Courtois, Alisson Ederson have all been on the same or higher level with some of them having better abilities on the ball.
If you took a snapshot at the time they said it, chances are it was true. Pulling clips from across a 10 year career after it ended leaves a lot of room for historical revisionism.
That wage has to be part of the issue, can't imagine many clubs going any where near that level.
2018 david de gea highlights were peak football yt
Your videos are very good you deserve more subs❤
My man 🙏
I'm a Man U fan, but looking back I wish he had gone to Real. Playing for the worst United team ever for so many years, when his potential was way too high, and then we treat him like this. Unacceptable.
the problem is, none of these 'ball playing' goalkeepers are anywhere near this level at keeping the ball out of the net. this should be the most fundamental aspect of being a goalkeeper and secondary to that, being able to play the ball
I cant believe Keane said that, I missed it when it happened. What a disgraceful way to express his frustration.
Bro you deserve like a million subs. Such quality content
Much appreciated 💪
Lord Maguire is the answer 😂
David degea is a stronghold wall in man united and andre onana has lot to learn how to be a good goalkeeper and it has his personal potential.
Onana has been a NIGHTMARE! His shot stopping is nowhere near De Ge and his slightly better passing doesn't make for the fact the he single-handedly got United kicked out of Europa league for example among other tomfuckery!
I have been wathcing united over the years and lets just say that de gea doesnt need to play the ball with his feet because united cant play out from the back, however onana who has proved elsewhere he can play with his feet but he doesnt at united and his half the shotstopper de gea is
Agree, it’s not like when we signed Onana this season his ball playing ability actually helped the team. We still had players like McTominay and AWB and Lindelof that just to name a few that actually plays in positions that’s very important in the build up phase and they’re are not the best with the ball. It actually made us worse since De Gea is undoubtedly STILL one of the best shot stopper even last season, Onana had been decent recently but he still had a lot of shots he faced that De Gea could easily save and Onana also costed us the UCL knockout qualification
Transfer for a downgrade and same long ball tactic.
How is it possible for real to not want this guy to be in the goal for you
Right now if de Gea wants to continue, he must go to MLS or LigaMX, in Europe its gonna be hard because his age.
He doesn't have much time left as a playwr. Its unbelievable that nobody ahs taken a shot at trying to sign him.
The disgusting way this United legend was treated by the club is unforgettable. De Gea will remain one of the greatest goalkeepers in the Premier League history. Onana on the other hand is. 28 year old “seasoned ball-playing” goalkeeper who cant play with his feet not save shots. Horrendous positioning, technique, zero potential growth.
you haven’t watch any of manu’ matches
considering how united have been playing this season i’d say they desperately need him back 😂
Bring the man to MLS.
Its funny what time and mostly nostalgia does on your memory, he had good years, most of them while young and then for whatever reason he turned mediocre and made ManU loose a lot.
If he was that good any team would made an offer, the fact hes not even playing or retire says a lot.
Remember realizing my cousin was literally braindead when honestly tried to say De Gea wasn't even a good keeper back then 😂
Who would show loyalty to ManU ever again. They’re disgusting in how they treat their people these days
as i concern one of his eyes have a problem, i think that’s one of reason other team still won’t reconsider him to be his goalkeeper. but man, his experience and his ability is top notch (even when he had a problem)
Dave saves ... the best shot stopper the world has ever seen
He can still make a come back to elsewhere, still would be great.
Best Keeper in the World.😂😂
And Manuel Neuer plays Golf?😂
There was never a season where he was the best in the world
It is silly to just say that De Gea's unemployed status is the result of the "game changing"- as easily as you made the compilation of pundits and players speaking wonders of him, you could make a compilation of his fails and blunders at his last two seasons with United and Spain. He wasn't the same top tier goalkeeper anymore
It is true though, at least for elite teams they can afford to build better back lines that reduce chance quality getting past... and an extra ball player is a massive edge tactically
@@avgaming4093 Keyword being "elite". I don't understand if DeGea is waiting for a big team to call him, his salary aspirations are way too high or overall not even middle table teams want him and he refuses to retire at some low tier league. Probably a mix of all.
So you change a keeper you claim make too many blunders with the goalkeeper that has made the most errors leading to goals for the last five years, 7 in the champions league alone. If you don't make it out of your group that's an error every 4th game. We bought the cat in the bag, he's barely beyond average with his feet, and that's supposed to be his strength.
@@stian56 It might sound weird but, perhaps and just perhaps they changed a unreliable, aging keeper for a young, at that point considered good keeper? Onana is a tremendous flop, but that doesn't make DeGea any better nor younger.
How could anyone blame De Gea for lost match against Russia in 2018 when he legit saved everything but penalties and only lost the series because Akinfeev was possessed by some fucking football demon that day?
Hot take here but I think De Gea and Juan Mata would make great free signings for McKenna at Ipswich Town, bringing some much needed experience to up the Championship/League One level players game.
Not a bad idea but I don’t see Ipswich paying plus at least 200k wages for either player
Good with feet will only help in initial stages of a tournament or in league matches. To be good on the line is still the mainstay of goalkeeping. In tight games and in late stages of a high profile tournament like champions league or world cup having a goalkeeper who is good with his foot is rather a curse. It is always the team having the better shot sopping goalkeeper that will have an advantage, not the keeper sweeper.
One major problem with De Gea is that he refuses to command his box, he's glued to his line everytime which the guy didn't even mention in his video.
This whole modern GK excuse is lazy cause why is Courtois still playing at a high level even though he ain't a modern keeper.
When the playing out from the back at every opportunity fad dies out, already signs in euro 2024, a goalkeeper like De Gea will be valued again. At the moment it is comical seeing teams without the players with the skill level to play from back still try to do so.
Only 3k views on this video is crazy, super underrated 🔥
He was hurt and betrayed by the club he loved.
You'd have to be blind to think that De Gea is overrated! Stevie Wonder knows how good he is!
"Mucho suerte" Van der Sar tried hard there
Snuck in Mark Goldbridge like we wouldn’t notice
I miss de gea #degea❤❤❤
You have gained south african subscriber
Wrexham adventure would be great for him and the exposure his esports company would get.
He's better than that
You state tgat football has changed considerably in the past ten years. That may well be true, but the introduction of a goalkeeper that functions like an extra defender was done in 1974, when Jongbloed became the goalkeeper of the Dutch team as a request of Johan Cruyff, above the legendary and far superior Jan van Beveren, as well as the slightly superior Piet Schrijvers, because of his ability to participate as an extra defender ;).
Later in the 90`s, when he became a manager of Ajax and Barcelona, he always selected goalkeepers that were also good footballers
He had the unfortunate situation of playing for Manchester United after their Ferguson
Signing for United nowadays is a Career Suicide. They really don’t know how to make the most out of their players
Towards the end he hardly ever looked comfortable, was a liability in the air, wasn’t commanding enough and even his stop shotting was questionable. Made some fantastic saves on occasions, but would then let some absolute pea rollers slide in…
Bring him back.erik did not work with onana.david was a leader .he didnt allow shit from his front 4.should of never done what united did to him .he was a leader from the back and went to the midfield and worked up into the rest of the team.
yes he had his bad days, but !!! In most of the matches he saved the day in last season with United.
He only had issues when Maguire showed up.
2 main reasons why De Gea left:
1. Harry
2. Maguire
David de Gea is possibly the last goalkeeper, to ever win A Premier League with United!!!
Even in another world i will never compare this Guy to Onana ...you need to watch Onana man..and you realize Degea has no competitor ...whoever brought the idea had their own benefits in it
let him take couple of months off the game, reload his mind, spend time with the family and then get back into beast mode
de gea is pretty good coming from a liverpool fan
Used to save them so many points
How hasn't anyone given him a contract yet? Not even an MLS our Saudi club wants him?
Became very error prone, but he could still have played for a mid table PL team such as wolves or spurs if he cut his wages
He should join mls
Bring back ddg @150/175k and that will put more pressure on onana to peform well
Onana can be the back up keeper
Not a utd fan but he was a good keeper, and I think he may do well at Newcastle if the move comes, just look at the improvement of Nick Pope with his feet, he is not world class, but he was probably the worst in the league, now he is more comfortable. As you mentioned 33 is a ridiculous age for a keeper of that class to hang up his gloves. As long as he as a stinker against Arsenal I don't care where he goes really, just hope he finds somewhere.
What happened De Gea ? ETH happened to him, Onana is not in his league and will always as the goal he conceded in the Cup final demonstrated give the opposition a lifeline.
best shot stopper in the world if he had good skills on the ball he could have won the ballon dor
I recon soon every player will be asked to rotate in goal.
I just want a good consistent shot stopper…let the MF get the assists
Gosh your heart bleeds for this poor man and the 375k a WEEK he was on for being a f goalkeeper. How does he sleep at nights?
job market is tough all around...
ball playing GKs are overrated. so long as you can play a long ball or simple pass.
The fact that man united went from de gea to onana was just pathetic man.. what a joke..
He could save the fucking Titanic.
Maybe his 10 drops last season has something to so with it
I was really sad to see him go. He's such a wonderful goal keeper .
Our current goal keeper has been shambles with his antics
They brought in a keeper who is good with the ball at his feet and can play from the back, and they are no worse at playing out from the back than ever and only win when playing long balls. I like Onana, I think he started off badly but will come good. But they changed keeper for a specific reason and that has not come to fruition, the tactics are either not being trained or they are not working, just another massive waste of money.
MLS awaits him!
I’m no expert. But how does it make sense to give up more goals to have slightly better passes?? If he’s the best at stopping goals from Happening he should have a job. Would be like leaving the best pitcher in the world as a free agent because he wasn’t as good at fielding the ball as he was pitching.
He certainly didn't make it onto this video's thumbnail 💀
He should have fixed that fax machine himself. That was his mistake.
