A safe be like world cup winr Barthez? Or Premier League stalwart Bosnich? It's easier said than done and De Gea has much more talent than the likes of Simonsen and Green ever had! I think it's a risk, but any goalkeeper is, especially replacing EVDS.
Apparently Ashley Young's had his medical at United today.
Bosnich had problems which were totally unrelated to football.....He was a class keeper otherwise.
As for Barthez, he was totally unproven in the week to week pressure of the Premier League, and even before his move had a reputation for being slightly eccentric.
Whilst DeGea may indeed be the real deal, at this stage of his career £17.5million is a hell of a risk....Leave him to develop somewhere else then pluck him when the time is right (like you did with Van Der Sar, even if it was 4 or 5 years to late)....I'd spend that cash at present on Reina. Liverpool would probably take it, considering they are going to sign Friedal.
