According to this source nothing then good atm, in the beginning of the season there were some doubts.. Many Atletico fans allready forgot De Gea..

A quote they mention:

"The Belgian is of the best keepers in the Spanish league. Only problem is that he isn't gonna stay long in Madrid. Courtois is a good replacement for Cech atm."

I think United fans are trying to forget de Gea as well! He's been very shaky, I would have thought he would have banished his demons by now but he continues to look a rabbit caught in headlights. He just needs time, like all young goalkeepers.

Courtois is an exceptionally good goalkeeper. I have to confess that before we were linked to him, I'd never seen him play. Now I watch Atletico whenever I can to get good glimpses of his play, and he is impressing me.

De Gea will be a top, top keeper once he finds his confidence again. I followed him closely in La Liga & at time he was exceptional. His reach, reactions & composure were amazing especially for someone so young. He was unheard of till Asenjo got injured, before that Asenjo was the next best keeper coming out of Spain.

Not that I'm not glad he's flopping, does well for everyone else's cause :lol:

Guys we shouldn't get carried away! We should learn from what has happened to De Gea this season. De Gea is still a great goalkeeper and you can see it in glimpses but overall he has been a disaster for Utd - at least for now. He will probably improve with time and show his true potential. Courtois is a wonderful prospect but before we tell Cech to take a hike and celebrate this guy as his replacement, he should be tested out in the Premier League/Championship first imo. I'm sure we can loan him out to a club like Fulham or something. Understandably, he won't be able to go to a "big" club, but he doesn't have to stay there forever. Just 6 months or maybe a season to show that he can cope with English football.

Perhaps we should let him stay at Atletico until the end of next season but we have to let him spend the 13/14 season on loan in England, so that in 2 and a half seasons time, he will have given us an answer.
