The boss has got a good tan on him
Great signing.

Don't worry all of you out there he will get a #stayonyourfeet t-shirt!! De Gea has got nice feet too...I love that in a keeper... #sweeper
Rio has a foot fetish.

Great news!
How do you pronounce his name? I genuinely haven't been following football since about September last year, too much other stuff going on.
Da-veed de Heya
What he'll be wearing in the 11/12 season, just to confirm:
Home GK Kit:
Away GK Kit:
Don't mind the home kit... but that Away Kit
Nevermind that, great signing & possibly the worst kept secret of the summer, but so looking forward to next season
Pleased he's finally signed. Hope he does well.
So...that's 3 down and 2 to go.

Really pleased about this - good young team being built.
Manchester United Official Web Site - Manchester United sign goalkeeper David de Gea
Very, very excited about this signing. We've just got one of the top youngsters in the world.
Fergie in a Green&Gold!
I have to say that this really is a great piece of business.
Graham Hunter said the other day that 'the general consensus is that he could well turn out to be the best keeper of his generation'.
Casillas also had great things to say about him.

Looks like blue and yellow to me?
That cleverley bird is quality as well.
Excellent.
How's his English?
You're right, I haven't.
Lets see Tom's then - in another thread of course
Got infracted for Tom's bird yesterday, she's worth it though the lovelyEmily O'Hara!
Excellent and finally!
Needs to bulk his face up. VDS and Schmeichal both had a wider face than that.
I'm sure Fergie had a word in his ear.

Crap
Think he'll learn the basics and then go from there. Just glad it's done and dustedSpanish.
Well he'll have to learn Hernandez can show him the ropes.
Hernandez can show him the ropes.Excellent goalie. Saw his first 2-3 games for Atletico Madrid and oyu knew that he would be a top class goalie for the next 15 years. Most goalies are good shot-stoppers. This guy has that & claims crosses and commands his box very well. Very un-continental like. Gd in 1 on 1s and penalty saves.
Excellent. I'm very happy with this signing, he would have been my second choice after Neuer and we were never going to get the German so it's brilliant.
The summer is shaping up nicely but the most important question remains: will we sign a central midfielder (or preferably two)?

Posted this in the Transfer Thread a few days back..
Nope apparently he doesn't speak English.. Well not fluently atleast..
MEN had an article recently in which his School Teachers said he wasn't very fluent with English.. Otherwise he was a top notch student..
Also Diego Forlan was interviewed about a week ago and confirmed that the only language he spoke was Spanish
Although I am sure DDG has been taking some lessons since a few months atleast.. This transfer was all but done over a few months ago..
Great news, got to give him time... CM now and we should be fone. Awesome alent is de gea
He still hasn't actually signed yet though has he? Despite the pictures and the interview Sky are just saying he's to sign and the official site is just saying a deal has been agreed. Is it simply because the window hasn't opened yet as to why this isn't officially official yet?
Well yeah, nobody can offically sign until the 1st.
Ah ok, so Young and Jones haven't officially signed either then?
It's just that's what I thought but arguing about it with someone on another forum convinced me otherwise
Finally. Excited about this signing.
We've spent about 55m on 3 excellent young players. Now that's how you do business.

He-ya he-ya.
Well the transfer window isn't open until Friday, so nothing is official. But the players look to have signed contracts etc, but they can't be registered until Friday.
That's my understanding of it anyway.
The English transfer window opens the day after the season ends.
Bienvenido David.
He's got a point though, as far as OT wags go, we've been short of talent recently.
Not any more.
True, but players can only transfer between clubs in the same association (EPL) before July 1st.
De Gea is coming from La Liga, so can't sign until 1st July, regardless of the English window opening at the end of the season.
This means that Young and Jones are official.
Yeah really happy with this signing, especially the fact that he's only 20.
If he turns out to be as good as we hope he will be then we have our goalkeeper sorted for the next 15-20 years, potentially.
