I don't know where this idea comes from. De Gea comes for and successfully deals with more crosses than almost any keeper playing today. Don't people watch the games? Remember West Ham slinging in 30 crosses and Andy Carroll trying to kill him, and De Gea calmly punching them all away?
He's dealt with crosses so well that teams no longer really try to test him in the air. This is no accident. Coaching staffs prepare dossiers on every opponent before every game. If they still felt De Gea couldn't handle it, you'd still see crosses bombing in, 4 opponents standing around him at corners, etc.
David James should know there's more to a clean sheet than who's in goal. Romero lost the Swansea game all by himself.
Also, Doctor Hver is a complete £#%&!ing moron.

Last season De Gea didn't punch once in the league til around Febuary. A remarkable stat for a modern keeper. He's the best passer (aside from Blind) of all the back 5 & frankly is already one of the two best in the world in his position. Nueur is tremendous but right up his own arse, Dave is VDS levels of calm on top of being the most extraordinary shot stopper.
Thank £#%&! we kept him.
