David De Gea, Boyhood To Manhood In 18 Months!

I remember when it was first announced that we were going to sign David De Gea from Atletico Madrid for around £20 odd million and I think it was around the time of Gary Neville's testimonial just days before an all important Champions league final with Barcelona at the home of football in Wembley stadium.

You may have seen over the weekend that four Manchester United players were voted into the PFA Team of the Year.

Two of the four – Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick – were obvious picks.

As Manchester United stumble to the title, the gap closing but maybe not fast enough for Manchester City to snatch it away again, the general play continues to disappoint.

Brilliantly consistent rather to consistently brilliant sums up United. A rather odd formation with Robin van Perfect on top of a midfield 5, emulating City, just didn't work.

So would a £17m Andy Carroll improve Manchester United?

It seems a ridiculous idea I know, but so did the purchase of Eric Cantona at the time. Of course nobody in their right mind would confuse the enigmatic, technically gifted Frenchman with the battering ram that is the ponytailed Geordie but consider for a moment the potential.

So Moussa Dembele escaped our grasp lit up his debut with a classic goal at White Hart Lane. A rare talent lost to Manchester United after he was in our grasp, a clear sign of the limited funds in the Old Trafford kitty for new talent, in my opinion.

Otherwise the big moves were Hugo Lloris to Spurs and Dimitar Berbatov to Fulham.

As Manchester United's Danny Welbeck delicately back heeled the ball into the Sweden goal to confirm England's 3-2 win, it proved to me that I made the correct decision to drop all interest in our national side.

Ashley Young, remember him? He was England’s best player for the last year and a half leading into Euro 2012. So why there are calls from fans for the winger to be dumped from England’s starting line-up against Ukraine because he played poorly against Sweden.
