He's still awfully young, still needs to master English, and definitely needs to play behind a settled back for (who in turn needs to play behind a settled midfield for a change). DeGea has all the attributes to be a top, top keeper for many years. There will be bumps in the road, for sure, though.
Got a tip for us?

He definitely shows the potential. Liverpool will face a similar problem when Reina retires. Replacing a top keeper is very difficult, and it can completely change the chemistry of a team.
By the way, h00ligan, most live matches are on for me between 3:30am and 7am.

I don't think we'll have to worry about Reina for quote a while, barring any major injuries. But goalkeepers of his stature are precious commodities, not easily replaced.
Looks like he could do with a good meal inside him too!
He knows hence that whole donut shoplifting incident from a few months back.
Probably the best evidence I've seen of just how much the Premier League overrates itself. 1 league win, 2 draws, 4 losses, 3 million a year...that's a LOL.
Yah. I TiVo them and I have the online sub. However espn likes to run matches only live online. Which is annoying.
I was able to watch the match (shhh). Ugh
I wish lindegard was in. Overall the defense looked bad and I'm probably alone but I really don't like jones.

Meanwhile, we face Ipswich Town this afternoon and I'd like to quash reports that I've signed for the East Anglians ahead of the fixture...
One player who will be conspicuous by his absence this afternoon is loveable cock-er-ny scamp Jimmy Bullard. See, the foppish wastrel is currently serving a club suspension after going out drinking in Newcastle and tipping up late for training the following morning.
To recap, that's the second club to have suspended this rather toxic individual since last summer. All he wants to do is play football, you know.

Was at the Leicester game today, 3-1 and our 8 game winning streak continues...
Looking forward to Donny on Tuesday and then Barnsley on Saturday. If things go our way we should be 2nd this time next week.

Perhaps the theory is to entice them to your club with large wages in order to prevent your rivals snapping him up just in case they are any good?
We're battling for 3rd, not 4th
Hahaha...fair point. Didn't expect Spurs to lose but you're right. Its game on now.
EDIT: Not liking this news at all if true. RVP has apparently agreed terms to join City in the summer on a £210k salary. Meanwhile Wenger plans to launch a £25m bid for Götze...which seems a fair bit lower than the £40m of the rumoured previous bid. Hmm...

i doubt a big for Götze to be succesfull at this moment .. he still has plenty of contract left, the euro championship is right ahead (where Götze could be able to score best younger player of the tournament), Dortmund is on the way to win the Bundesliga

UP THE OWLS!
3-0 up after 10 mins, then no more goals. Simply not good enough!
Nice to see Antonio get one, if we're still in the Championship next season could be a big year for him at Reading.
I don't think Götze is going anywhere after this season, he has everything he needs at Dortmund and Dortmund just signed Reus, so they're gonna make a new attempt to do better in the Champions League. Why didn't ManU keep Ron-Robert Zieler? He does pretty good now at Hannover and is most likely the third goalie for the German roster in the Euro Championship.....
