He was 72 two days ago. Was still playing for us when he was 43 so hardly an issue though, and probably still better than plenty of the ****e we've had since him.
The question is though, could De Gea be here and training with us immediately though? Cos he ain't played since last season and needs to be fit.
Yes he can and something I hadn't thought of tbh - getting him in now and getting him a mini preseason over December would be the right thing to do if he is going to come in.
Interesting quote from Howe in the Manchester news: De Gea, who is still a free agent after being released by United in the summer, has been linked with a move to St. James' Park, but Howe has ruled out any such move. "I've seen a lot of media headlines regarding goalkeepers and other players," he said at his press conference on Wednesday. "We have not made any enquiries. If we were to recruit now we'd be recruiting in every area on the pitch. It's a chance for the other keepers to consolidate their positions."
"Its a chance for the other keepers to consolidate their positions" says Eddie. Hasn't taken Dubravka long to sh*t the bed has it!
