He's a Liverpool fan but more importantly an idiot. Back in 2009 he said:

Bookies now quote Man United at odds-on to finish the season potless - but I doubt they'll even do that well.Of course it's far too early to write United off after one defeat, but it's terrific fun.A year ago, the Red Devils signed £32 flop Dimitar Berbatov.Fergie publicly backs the bone-idle Bulgarian but privately must be searching everywhere for the receipt.

Fergie also picked up Michael Owen for free but was still robbed.There's even talk of Fergie's job being on the line, with Hills quoting him at 9/2 not to be manager at the end of the season.But United are not a firing club.United are a mis-firing club.

Man Utd won the league in 2008-09, league cup in 2008-09. Hardly a poor 2009. <doh>

Sounds like KPR.

He also calls Berbatov a flop, the same Berbatov who was Premiership top scorer last season <doh>
 
It is a poor article and the one from 09 is the same. De Gea will get better with time. It is a worry for you that Vidic and Ferdi will not be in front of him for a while but something tells me you will pick up some points (you always bloody do!).

Smalling is more than good enough to stand in, not seen much of Jones but I'm confident he'll be a capable stand in too!

From what I understand Vidic will be only be missing for up to 2 weeks, and reports are saying that the injury isn't as bad as first thought, Ferdinand I heard 6 weeks but to be honest this season I don't think he will be as much as a miss, don't get me wrong he's still a top class defender but at 32 with regular injury problems I suspected he would be rotated a lot this season anyway, and Smalling is more than capable of playing alongside the experience of Vidic when he's back, and Evra should be back for the Spurs game which is a huge bonus.

As for De Gea, I don't think anybody was naive enough to think he was going to come into this league at 20 and be as good as Van Der Sar, but with a good set of coaches behind him every single game (and every single mistake) will give him crucial experience that every keeper needs, I still have no doubt that he will be a top class keeper in a few years time and will, as Casillas said, be pushing for Spain's number 1 shirt.

And then hopefully we can remind people who've already written him off of what comments they made (not naming any names).
 
The words "impartial" and "journalism" generally don't come within sight of each other in either football reporting or tabloid reporting. So when it's tabloid football reporting you're lucky if the guy even pretends to be impartial. Which this guy obviously isn't, given that he claims that Rio getting injured for six weeks is a good thing...

Although I do love how he uses the word "glee", in the hope that his readers think it rhymes with "de Gea". I guess most Mirror readers probably think it does <ok>
 
How do you pronounce it?

I've heard De Gee, De Gee-a and De Gay-a (said as it's wrote).

I think it's the last one but I'm not sure, but I know that in Spain they sometimes make the e sound different (Jose Enrique).

The G is pronounced like the ch in "loch", the e like the ay in "play" and the a like the a in "Yaya". So overall it's like "de Khay-a". It's definitely not de Gee!

You can also hear a Spanish commentator pronounce it like that a 0:09 here:

people hitting on Gea are just punch of sore loser who want to put more pressure on UTD and GK hoping he make mistakes.

Thats the problem with football - guaranteed every team you play are gonna be trying their luck with long shots and crowding the keeper every time they get a set piece.

In my opinion he needs to be left out and given the time he needs to develop.
 
"The way to criticise goalkeepers is to label them “good shot-stoppers” as it implies everything else about their game is awful."

In fairness to the journalist, he's good at spelling. <laugh>
