“You can see the difference between being a keeper here and in La Liga - in particular, in the game at West Brom the surprise on David de Gea’s face at how difficult and physical it is to go out and catch a cross. He’s learning fast. You can’t say he is United’s weakness. At 1-0 against Arsenal he saved a penalty that changed the game. Then they scored eight goals and without that save it could have been a different story. And against Bolton he made a good save from Martin Petrov, so every game he is improving.”

“You have to be fair that the best world strikers have both missed great opportunities. It happened to Fernando but it happened to Wayne Rooney, too.”
- Andre Villas-Boas (Premier League 2011/12: Manchester United 3 - Chelsea 1)
> Fans still happy when rooney missed the penalty..
“Wayne is flying again, he’s been excellent all week and he’s still very much at the forefront of this side.”
“Everyone has been talking about younger players and older players but Wayne doesn’t really fall into either category. He still has an awful lot to give over the next 10 years, I’m very confident of that.”
“He’s showed some great early form for Manchester United and just continued that when he linked up with England. He’s great to have around the camp as well, he never settles for anything less than winning, even in training, and his enthusiasm rubs off on the younger players.”
- John Terry
Kolo Toure in 2008: “City may spend a lot , but they will never overtake the Top 4 of the Premiership.”
Gael Clichy in 2009: “If any player only wants Money , He will go to Manchester City.”
Samir Nasri in 2010: “I think we have more merit as a club than those who have built their teams with millions of pounds.”
Where are they now? Manchester City.
proof that life happens =)
