Thing is I doubt he wants to move to Real Madrid though, being Atletico boyhood fan and Academy product. People talks as if it's a given that he moves there at some point.

Which he hasn't, so for now let's enjoy having one of the best goalies between the post for us whilst there are no major signs of him wanting to leave.
Happy? Then why does he punch his fist in the air after every win as if to say "Yes, Madrid are more likely to be interested in me after this!" ?
Doesn't his girlfriend live in Madrid? Could be his heart telling him where to go tbh.
Not sure where this idea comes from that we signed Ronaldo up on a deal knowing we were about to sell him. As far as I know his last contract for us was a 5 year deal signed in April 2007. He didn't ask to leave until 15 months after that, in the summer of 2008. We refused to sell him, waited til the following summer than flogged him.
I don't think that means anything at all. Raul was also an Atletico academy product.
If Real came knocking and he truly wanted to leave United then he'd go there easily.
Raul moved to Real at 14 or 15. The Atletico academy argument was blown out of proportion there. With De Gea he won trophies with Atletico and started his career there, they developed him as a player to the extent he was worth £17m at 19.
Real won't drop Casillas yet either. Wait 2 or 3 years and they might talk, but it won't be with De Gea.
Has he been given his shiny new contract yet?! If not who's the one to have their effigy burned?!
Ronaldo asked to leave in 2006 I think and it was clear all along he would go and join Real at some point. Mind you we still got some pretty good mileage out of him.
That's the key element people are forgetting. The last guy who went against Casillas got sacked although it wasn't the only reason.
Real should launch their bid for Lloris if they are desperate for a goalkeeper who wants a better fate of his own.

how on earth joe hart is number 4 on the list?
great to see david getting the recognition he deserves though. give him a mega deal and a world class defense and talks about de gea v neuer could be very close like maybe schmeichel v kahn a few years ago.

Incredible. The Frans Hoek effect?
I would say he is already better than VDS, mental though it may sound. He is on his way to becoming someone like Schmeichel, who was the main reason I used to watch Denmark. People will soon be watching international friendlies because DDG is playing
If he keeps this up for the season he may be, the way he's playing now I think is superior to VDS but he's got a long way to go. VDS gave us what 6 seasons of consistent brilliance?
Wow. Amazing stat.
Why do people talk only about Real? Barcelona aren't fecking blind either. DDG is very, very special, give him what he wants. And more.
Probably because they signed 2 'keepers in the summer and are transfer banned for some time.
Too early to say he's better than VDS. VDS was the complete goalkeeper. There are still things DDG needs to work on. I'd still like him to be more commanding in the box both physically and vocally. I'm sure that will come. I will say there is no way Real or Barca will be happy with the best Spanish GK not playing for them. I fully expect a bid of around 40-45m made for him in the summer.
It'd be nice if we can enjoy his performances rather than speculating his return to Spain. For all the comparisons with Ronaldo, I'm yet to see an interview with DDG claiming he wants to move to Spain, with Ronaldo we had to endure three summers of constant flip flopping and hence why most were convinced that he was gonna be sold.
I hope you're right, it would be good for a laugh.
On a serious note, David De Gea right now on course to becoming the biggest star of all goalies out there, along with Neuer. He has a playing style and a carries himself with a certain kind of cool which ensures that as long as we keep competing, and he keeps delivering, he will become a huge commercial pull. With the Glazer's and Woodward's new emphasis on having stars in the team to maintain and increase our commercial appeal there is absolutely no chance they won't do everything in their power to keep him around for as long as possible. Especially knowing that as things stand, there are no viable alternatives who come even close to matching his quality on the pitch, or his potential value off it.
Barca, and to a lesser degree Real (given where he came from) missed a beat when they didn't try to get him from Atletico. It was completely obvious even then that he would go on to become one of the best in the world, and I'm absolutely confident that he will be spending the prime and bulk of his career with us. Which is freakin' awesome.
When we were scouting for keepers back in 2010 - 2011, I wondered whether we did the right thing signing a 20 year-old. There were so many other names being thrown about, all more experienced ... Lloris, Adler, Sketelenburg etc. Am so glad we got this one right.
Now can someone please give him that 150k a week, or whatever it takes to sign him for the next 10 years? I wasn't worried a couple of months ago, but getting a little bit edgy now. It's gone too quiet at our end, and these performances are just going to attract attention from the biggest clubs.

opinions are, unless you hold on to one. due to the defensive situation, De Gea has had to put up better performances than VDS ever had to. I guess that goes towards explaining why I hold that opinion. If you disagree with that, I would like my memory to be refreshed with regard to a better individual performance by VDS
Someone find his girlfriend, convince her she loves Manchester and would hate to live in Madrid.
Doing the rounds that Custis said De Gea told team mates, that he is staying
Who the hell is that?
Journalist....Who Fergie wasn't fond off
The one thing I really enjoy is seeing him celebrate goals or saves. Especially goals, since the focus seems to be elsewhere, but he just looks so satisfied and happy. Same with saves, after he tipped that Ballotelli shot to the Crossbar he jumped up and tapped it a few times. Almost like every save makes him more confident and better in a match.
I'm not gonna go all rawk like and say "OH GOD LOOK AT HOW HAPPY HE IS, WE'LL GIVE HIM DONUTS AND HE WILL STAY WITH US FOREVER AAHH", but I do like the fact that he seems happy playing for us.

Wasn't that during the 2011/12 season? Despite some shaky moment in his initial season (that were largely overstated, imo) I don't remember him having a bad season or even a proper bad spell of games.
He's come on amazingly well from his first season. I haven't seen a better keeper myself this season, it's not Castillas.
Was dropped during '12-13 as well. Returned against City after the horrow show by Lindegaard against Reading. The rest is history
Just met our Dave along with Juan in the Trafford centre. Crossed them on the escalator and in the most mancunian way i possibly could said "alright lads, well done on Sunday." Got a thank you and a thumbs up, so he has been congratulated on a fine performance on behalf of the caf.
Have you asked them to make their list of 50 best directors?
You didn't even get a selfie?!
He gave me a thumbs up, I think it was a sign.
He said Guy Ritchie, which I know a lot of people won't be happy about.
He asked me for one but I told him I was in a rush.
In all seriousness the pair of them seemed sound and very approachable. Glad to have him at the club and long may it last.
Wtf has happened to my tagline 
dunno
