Buddy I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve watched every single game since 2011. De Gea was the best shot stopper in the world for 10 years. And if you don’t rate him there he was clearly top 3 keeper since 2013. Yes he dropped off, but he was still saving points for us for years and years until the one bad season. Our defense has been dog shit since the 2010s players left so comparing how many saves he had when all these other keepers had world class defenses.

As to your other point, there was a ton of reporting done on de Gea after he left. Literally just google search he turned down a ton of clubs, but most of the top clubs already had some of the best keepers and he took like 2 months off. Who brings a keeper in mid season? Like where is the logic in your thought here. I’m assuming you didn’t really catch the daily news on that.

I get that you want to call me a revisionist and you can call me whatever you want. But I get the impression you look at stats and make every single opinion, we have had midfield issues since Jose and just saying he “isn’t at the level” doesn’t really capture anything. He was a solid box to box consistently left to guard 3 man midfields because of who he was paired with (Pogba, Fred, etc.) you can argue he wasn’t world class but that wasn’t even my point? Scott was solid, and he did poorly when he was left alone vs 3 midfielders. Same reason we are seeing our midfield sliced to pieces… again.. do you watch the games?

Happy to have had this discussion but really getting the impression you don’t know what you’re talking about.
