But mate. in England you have a choice. Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Chelsea... now City. Spurs.
In Spain if you are really good u can choose Barca or Madrid. thats it. If Barca aint coming for you. you got no choice left.
Or go to Italy/Germany/England if you must move?
Some players may prefer to stay in their home nation, or atleast where they learned their trade and are used to the lifestyle. If the club accepts a bid from Real or Barca, a player would more than likely move there. Who doesnt want to win thier respective nations league and compete in the CL every season??
Players may not push for a move to Real or Barca, but when they knocking on the door it will be hard for anyone to turn down, espeically at a club that is not really doing well.
So you would honestly believe a kid would turn down the best possible move to his career. He would turn down a chance to stay in a city he grew up. and he would accept a move to foreign country with a unfamiliar culture to play for inferior team. Just out of loyalty to your former club? What about the loyalties to his family? His friends?
Are United inferior to Real???
Man United has like 1/3 of titles that Real has. some people would call it inferior.
Try @theinsider9 for a start, or @intheknow99. In the last few months I've known either to be wrong. Amongst all the bollocks there are one or two who genuinely have contacts. I'd be very surprised if we didn't announce the signing of de gea in the next two weeks.
Both of them are United fans actually and yes they get it spot on most of the times.
Well fortunately you aren't de gea being offered the chance to join one of the big three in world football. Also, maybe he thinks he can go to real or barca in the future.
Silly argument. Surely it depends on who is the better team/bigger club just now. By that logic Real are inferior to Benfica.
So do Barcelona, would you call them inferior to Real?
Yes they are. One is a journalist and the other used to work in player agency. If they don't know they say so, if it's just a rumour they say so.
Valentino is a troll.
Why feed it?
Why feed it?
And all teams are inferior to Rangers....
Fair enough - he threw the bait and I nibbled. Just seemed he was making a silly argument.
In the last 6-7 years Barcelona had a better team. But Real historic status is much superior. For that reason i would find UCL final United - Real more special that United - Barcelona.
Didn't knew about that. I'm guessing that Insider9 guy is a journalist and intheknow99 works in player agency?
I dont wanna go into this argument. I think United is by far the biggest club in UK. But in whole europe IMO noone can compare to Madrid. for example i would never expect a player that both Real and United would go after to even consider picking United instead of Madrid even if it would put his career at risk knowing how Madrid treat some of their players.
Yeah, that's right. For any sceptics, follow them and make up your own minds.
Do you all know that there is an important game going on right now? Or you just don't care?
The match is at HT right now.
who the feck is valentino?
Shall we assume that someone will be sitting with a camera trying to spot him at Wembley
Well, he can move to United and then force a move to Spain if he wanted, by question is - why the hell would he want to play for Real Madrid so much when he has been raised as an Atletico fan and he began his career there?
Because Valentino want to wind you up.
For god sake i dont want to wind up anyone.
Yes i understand he is Atletico fan, but IMO this overrated. How may players were 'fans' and left the club when they got a chance for a team that they sweared never to join? Yes you say he is not argentinian but to me its just looking for excuses.
We cant now what De gea really thinks. We are guessing. And i dont think it is possible to be so loyal to your team. That the loyalty would outweigh the correct career path. They are professionals firstly not fans.
If madrid wouldnt want him when fair enough. But if he can pick on of two. United or Madrid. Lets say two equally great clubs. Tell please do you really believe that United + showing loyalty to atletico - foreign country, shit food, terrible weather, would outweigh same city he grow up to, family and friends close minus loyalty to former club?

It's absurd to think that he would turn down a legitimate offer from United now, solely based on the hope that one day, several years from now, an offer would come from Real or Barca.
Just WOW...
The problem is mate, De Gea was NEVER linked with Madrid what so ever, also, Athletico hardly ever sells players to RM because they are arch enemies just like Utd - City, Utd - Liverpool ( Don't ever mention Tevez because we loaned him and City had every right to sign him ).
I'm confused how you made up the De Gea love for Madrid... He's only clear path if he were to move forward in Spain would be Barca.
Not that Barca have the greatest GK, but if we have made a move like most of the reports have claimed, then I don't think De Gea has much of a choice if we can match his wage demand and give his beloved club the money that he is worth...

From Twitter (yeah yeah where else)

Yes, I honestly believe that between having a chance to join United, a huge club with great history, a club that has won plenty of trophies recently and will likely keep winning them, and MAYBE having an opportunity to play for Real Madrid in six, seven or eight years IF they decide to move for him of all the goalkeepers, he would choose United right now. It's daft to suggest he would hold on until Real Madrid, a team he probably hates, makes a move.
Agreed. Also, goalkeepers do not necessarily need to go to Madrid to get the feeling they've made it. The two biggest goalies in the last ten years have never played for a Spanish club.
(Sorry for any grammar mistakes, I'm a bit tired).
It's possible to move to United first and then on to Real Madrid. Ask Ronaldo. Or Ruud. Or Heinze.
just saying, people realize that our transfer season has started and we can sign who we like.
To be confirmed on Monday apparently.
Manchester United will announce the signing of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea next Monday.
Radio Cadena Ser says De Gea has decided to leave Atletico and accept a move to Old Trafford.
The deal will be formally announced by United on Monday - 48 hours after the Champions League final.
United have had a fee for De Gea agreed with Atletico for some weeks.
