Bring him home Fergie!!

1) How long is his current contract? (Basically what age will he be by the time it runs out)
2) How much would he (His agent) want and would Fergie, any possible replacements or the board pay that much

Fergie would, no questions asked.
Tbh, Ronaldo is a big enough marketing tool that any wages probably will pay for themselves.

No he wasn't.
He's been shite since he's come back, and I mean that in the nicest way.
If this surgery can actually solve the problem (I had heard it was untreatable, but maybe not) he will be a lot better for it.

2 or 3 world class saves, a player left unmarked in the box and boom De Gea is shite.

Tbf, Gary Neville started it
Ninja
Yeah but tbf, goalkeepers are one area where Neville talks a lot of shite.
He basically admitted to it when he started out, he said something like 'goalkeepers, for me, are always at fault when a goal is conceded' and he's pretty consistently attacked every keeper for the smallest of errors (except Hart, who he gives a very free reign, but I suspect that's because of his England commitments).
EDIT: I don't mean that in a 'Hart gets away with out criticism' type of way, just that in general Neville is very uncritical of his England charges.

I think its ridiculous to be honest. How old is De Gea? Early twenties and bought to replace a guy who was 40 and had done everything. There is no way that De Gea was going to have the all round ability and consistency of VDS. Of course he is going to have his faults but what player his age doesn't? He has definitely improved since his arrival and is one of the best keepers in the league with shot stopping. He just needs to improve with the ball in the air in the box but the whole thing with buying someone young is you are buying into their potential - very rarely is someone his age the finished article, especially in his position.

It's not like De Gea made some top saves in that game or anything, if anything he won Utd a point

I think aswell he's been a bit hard done by on the goal aswell. He's had to reach above two players and if he'd punched half a yard further to Lennon's left then it would've been fine.

His punch could have been stronger aye, but it wasn't his fault that Lennon was left on his own by Evra and Dempsey was unmarked nor, longer term, that our only way of holding on to a lead seems to be retreating further and further back and ceding massive amounts of possession to everyone and anyone. Pressure was always going to tell.

Still makes the odd annoying mistake and he needs to stop that, but all in all he's been much better, more confident I'd imagine and hopefully he'll keep getting better.

He's still prone to an absolutely game changing error though - something a Man Utd keeper really can't afford to do.

Ahem Reina.
