Yes, hes a very good, experienced keeper, fantastic shot stopper and hes on a free, can't be too unhappy with that though obviously nobody want's to lose De Gea.

If we can't do anything to prevent De Gea departure, valdes is a good replacement.
I think De Gea knows himself it's too early for a move just yet. He's still developing and I genuinely believe he is thoroughly enjoying playing here. We've got a large Spanish speaking group now and he seems to be best mates with Mata which helps. The club knows how important he is as much as De Gea does so all this is just classic posturing before a new deal is agreed.
Make it at least 6 years though Ed and match him with our highest earners, he deserves it on talent, performances and importance to the side.

He could develop just as well with Madrid though, who have a bigger Spanish speaking contingent and can match our wages.
Mata was linked with a move today too.
After last summer, Woody can do no wrong...he will have it under control i'm sure.
The media knows nothing!

Is Valdes much older now than VdS was when we signed him?
I think Johnstone is a flipping excellent young keeper (who's doing really well on loan) so maybe, just maybe we could cope if DDG left. Would suck balls, though, obviously.

Yeah Van Der Sar was like 34/35 when we signed him. Still, Van Der Sar was still excellent at a ridiculous age.
Nay to Valdes as a potential De Gea replacement. We'd need someone who offers more consistent quality. Mattia Perin would be an excellent choice. Just turned 22, excellent reflexes, maintains concentration during long periods of inaction, big game performer (had 15 saves vs Fiorentina last season, highest of any keeper in the major leagues and was Genoa's best performer in the recent 1-0 win vs Juventus) very good shot and penalty saving ability, likely heir to Buffon for the Italian national team.
We're not shopping David to Madrid though, so it's all moot. He loves it at United, we don't need the money, Van Gaal really rates him and perhaps most importantly - he is a lifelong Colchonero. All these reports are probably press-briefs for leverage to maybe thrash out contract terms sharpish.

3 years younger?
Ok, thanks. Reassuring.
Isn't that supposed to be Scuffet?
I agree that De Gea won't be leaving any time soon, especially to Madrid.
Scuffet's got over-hyped as the next Buffon IMO and his development has really stalled this season with Orestis Karnezis' return from Granada (0 league starts for Scuffet). He's talented but is a bit error prone and his mentality has been questioned at times this season, which is very important for the position.
Perrin was in the World Cup squad and for his club - he already plays like a veteran in terms of confidence and consistency, very rarely makes any errors, turns up vs Juventus, Napoli, Fiorentina, Roma; and has had a massive part in leading Genoa to 5th in the league this season after also keeping 11 clean sheets last season. Definitely the best young keeper in Seria A as of right now - ahead of Romero and Handanovic.
Their developmental rift is too huge right now considering the age difference between them - only 3 years. That said Scuffet is certainly capable of being a special goalkeeper, as are Leali and Bardi. Funny how Italy always manage to produce great goalkeepers - Zoff, Zenga, Pagliuca, Buffon, Peruzzi, De Sanctis, Combi, Toldo, Galli while others struggle to find even one of equivalent quality.

Ya Italy love their goalkeepers and defenders. Wingers on the other hand...
Whats going on with his contract renewal? I am really concerned about Real coming in for him ...
I'm hoping that all this attention United are giving De Gea on social media is building up to the announcement of a new deal.
If not and he has to leave (which would be awful), Then Victor Valdes is a very good replacement IMO, Experienced and classy, Plus won't want to feck off in a few years like any other world class young keeper may want to if they joined us.

High praise from Shaw
But considering Shaw had no idea who Tony Adams was, i'd be surprised if he could actually name 10 goal keepers! joke

Hope he doesn't go, especially not to fecking Madrid. Can't stand them.
Pretty sure he can't stand them either.
Our social media team can be cringe at times to be honest. They're all over Ronaldo's balls anytime they get. The same can be said about de Gea recently. Call me a pessimist, but it reeks of desperation to me.
I don't mind it with de Gea cause he's ours. At least for now but they are constantly licking Ronaldo's balls.
Sign a contract De Gea, you dopey twat. You and Ronaldo owe United your careers.
The transfer muppetry of our club flows all the way from Ed Woodward to @iSparky with De Gea and Rio in between somewhere. No one will complaint if it results in us signing Ronaldo next summer
No he doesn't, he was already one of the best prospects in the World in his position before we signed him.
He's already one of the top keepers around so why should he wait 3 more years for us to be competitive? I'm just hoping he's seen enough progress this season to keep him here but maybe he doesn't like playing behind incompetent defenders that are responsible for him conceding 5 against Leicester and 4 against MK Dons.
manutd.com are really obsessed with him in the last weeks......every day a new article or interview with him

If we sell another world class player to fecking Real Madrid we simply cannot claim to be in the same tier of clubs are them, I still actually hate them from the Ronaldo sale.
If they want him it's either a straight swap for Bale or nothing.

Agree, it's just his contract that complicates things for us, if he signs up then we hold all the aces, and Madrid can either give us a top player in return or beggar right off, but this lack of a new contract is dragging on now which is a worry, if it's still not happend by the end of the season then we'll no doubt cash him in.
Why hate them? You didn't have to sell him. It's United you should blame.
In fairness to the club they did similar to honour RvP the other day when he scored his 50th goal for the club. This fuss now for DDG is all following his 50th clean sheet. They're making a big deal of it but they tend to for these 'milestones'.
For about 3 years prior to the sale, Madrid were fecking around big time using the media to such an extent that Ronaldo considered himself a slave. That's just low.
He gave us another year even though he was desperate to go.
If we go after players from Spain or Portugal it's only natural that they will want to go back to own type of climate at some stage.
Ronaldo is responsible for his own actions, you can't blame Real for wanting a player.
What's the general consensus then, do we think he's going to sign a new contract or have Madrid convinced him that they'll swallow on a first date?
Don't leave us David
Always thought he'd end up at Madrid.
I don't think it will be next season, I think he will sign a new contract, everyone will be happy then after 2 or so more years especially if we are still struggling he will leave to Madrid for around 25-30 mil and go on to be the best keeper in the world with Curtois.

The only player at United I would be floored if we sold.. But we need to get this contract thing sorted asap, another thing Moyes fecked up! (he needs more stick)
Based on absolutely nothing I'd say his contract is getting done piece by piece to satisfy him which naturally takes time and that, Madrid being interested is just shit-stirring from his agent/Spanish press (who by the way claim all of Herrera, Mata and de Gea could be on their way out...).
I reckon he's not that keen on signing and is trying to string it out. Valdes isn't here to be second choice, IMO.
You mean that club would took on loan pur 4th choice striker?
Chill it isn't happening, he'll sign an extension some point soon.
He may well want to go back to Spain in the near future. But I'm confident that he will extend his contract and not leave us in a weak negotiating position.
I'm pretty confident he'll sign a new deal and will be with us for another two seasons at least. Depends how well we do though, he should be competing for trophies every year.
