2014/2015 season - The beginning of De Gea's legacy

So now I am in the 2014/2015 season. We've had quite a good run so far, we're in 3rd place in the EPL, but playing some good offensive football. I decided to sell Dzagoev this mid season, he was playing fairly well but as a young player he just wasn't getting enough pitch time to develop the way I would like. I ended up selling him for 14M to Newcastle, Man City made an offer, but since they are the top of the league so I was a bit hesitant in helping them become stronger. I also decided it was time to invest in a new younger goalie before Gomes becomes too old. I was in between two players from Atletico Madrid. Sergio Asenjo who looked like quite a good signing, only 25, and quite a bit of potential as well as De Gea, who was a bit younger.



I decided to go for David de Gea Quintan, he was going to be a bit cheaper to buy since he wasn't a starting 11 player and I liked that he was only 24. So far this goalie has been an amazing addition to the team. I played him early in the season on the Copa Europe game against OM. What an amazing game. The game was tied during the first 90 minutes at 0x0. At the starting of the extra time OM scored and I was behind with only about 20 minutes of game left. It was the last minute of the second ET and De Gea came up for our last corner kick. Guess what, he ended up scoring on that corner taking us to penalty shootouts. He made a save in his first penalty and we ended up winning the shootout 4x2. After that my respect for this goalie went up a lot. He?s slowly becoming my main goalie.
