Keeper uncertainty.. again

The press have gone to town over David De Gea's clanger and long term prospects at Manchester United after Sunday's game. Mark Ogden wasn't the only journo to suggest that United have lost faith and are looking elsewhere. It seems certain that United are looking for a new goalie, but that could be just as easily to replace Lindegaard as it is to find a new number one. The gist of this article, that United's defenders have lost confidence in him, may be true, but the claim that they feel safer with Lindegaard coming out for crosses, beggars belief, he was appalling at Reading, lest we forget.
I like De Gea, he has looked to be a fine prospect at times. But has made mistakes, not loads, but when he does, they invariably seem to cost us. But Fergie's the one that always say young players make mistakes, and you have got to show patience in them. So if United are are going to cut their losses, he's not exactly practicing what he preaches.
What i always find astonishing about this whole affair, is why Fergie opted for a very young foreign keeper, who hardly spoke any English and that all the experience he had, was gained in a league where goalies don't get the battering they are liable to receive here.
As far as i can see, unless the rumours about him being unsettled in this country are true, there doesn't really seem much option, other than to stick with him anyway. It's not like there are Van Der Sar's or Schmeichel's dropping of tree's around the football world at this moment in time, some of the goalie's we've been linked with are laughable.

It looks as if the rumours that will win the race to capture the signature of Wilfied Zaha are going to be confirmed before the end of the week. I have absolutely no idea how good is, so i make no comment on that, other than we really could do some class out wide.
One surprise though, if he really has got the potential we have been hearing off, why haven't City and the rent boys be linked with him, at all, after all, anybody that we're linked with, automatically gets linked with the berties nowadays.


Music

Allah-las - Allah-las: Belting debut album from the Californian sixties pychedelic rock retro outift. A few critics have been a bit sniffy towards it as itcould have been made in the sixties unlike Tame Impala's latest Lonerism. I can't really say i care too much as long as the music is up to this standard.

Bat for lashes - The haunted man: I thought her second album didn't quite live up to the promise of the first, it was good, but a bit too mainstream. This restores the quality back to the excellence of the first, not a bad or boring track on it.

Cody ChesnuTT - Landing on a hundred: A superior piece of soul, especially when he veers into the territory of funk.

Jake Bugg - Jake Bugg: This album saw a lot of hype and whilst it's a decent enough album, it's not that good. You listen to it and think it's alright, but where as you don't want a good album to end, when this ends you just want to to go onto the next thing.

Neil Young and crazy horse - Psychedelic pill: If you're a fan of this combination rocking out and Young's long guitar solo's you'll like this, if you aren't stay well clear. I do, but even for me, it ends up going on a bit at times.

ZZ Top -La Futura: I have to admit i haven't listened the Texan trio since the eighties, and that period of their career hasn't aged too well. But this is fucking excellent, heavy rock, blues rock whatever it's spinal tap time this needs listening to, turned up to eleven.
