I'm pretty sure it is done, but who knows how long it will take until it's official, with all the agent problems. Not good for one's confidence. It's the one signing we should have nailed one minute after the season ends.

I thought this was supposed to be finalized today? Cock back in
It's 11:58am lol and we're currently occupied with a parade!
Give it time.
Good, because I've had a hard on for 3 weeks.
He's as good as ours, don't get so flaccid.
It's 11:58am lol and we're currently occupied with a parade!
Give it time.
And it was just a rumour from some rag that it would be confirmed today, it was never suggested by SAF or anyone associated with the club.
Hasnt De Gea said he'll discuss his future after the under-21 tournament?
Translation: "I will finally announce that I'm a United player after the under-21s so I don't piss off Athletico fans....and also because my new agent told me to"
Where is De Gea?
If this is a Where's Wally type thing you're attempting we need a picture.
With the U21 squad
I think it seems to be generally accpeted that De Gea's deal was brokered by Jorge Mendes, who doesn't become De Gea's agent until the 1st June, or something like that, so it will be announced once he gets rid of his old agent and signs with Mendes, I'd guess.
No offers will be considered, propably until June 30 after the European Under-21 Championship.
He got stuff to do.
You realise it's now June 6th, right?
Sorry, meant to write July.
A likely story!
I can't believe we wouldn't have had a deal in place for a goalkeeper by now, we've been looking for a while and knowing we needed one this summer for months. So I tend to believe the end-of-june-end-of-contract-with-old-agent-mendes-comes-in-the-deal-is-official thing.
I feel like such a wally; I prematurely welcomed him to Manchester on twitter when he was (un)'announced' a few weeks back. I hope he didn't read it and remember my name; I'm sure he'll never let me live it down if he does eventually sign.
It's shocking
If he decides to stay there, we're in July without a GK.
I hope that is already a done deal, otherwise it would be something of ridiculous.
Calm down. We have still got John O`Shea to call on if we dont land any keepers!!
He'd better sign. I've spent the last 3 months learning how to pronounce his bloody name...
Fergie wouldn't have mentioned him by name at Nevilles testimonial if this wasn't 100% a done deal.
Apparently Kuszczaks request to be put on a transfer list was rejected by United. He said that the ckub did not want to let him go.
He should have asked me.
Probably let him go in Jan instead of having to bed in 2 keepers at once. Lindegaard's injury meant he didnt have much time to settle into our football, should be fine after half a season
Or we might loan out Lindegaard for 6 months or the entire season.. Unlikely, but possible nonetheless..
He broke his finger during training with the U21s last Friday
But should be back in action for the Spain - England U21 match on Sunday.
Well... The deal is not complete - That's for sure.
3 months? Are you a little slow Steve?
Everyone's favorite Spaniard-in-the-know named him La Liga's goalkeeper of the year.
Guillem's select XI
Goalkeeper: DAVID DE GEA
No 1 on the team-sheet: superb temperament and a calm, assuring presence
Britain will become quite familiar with David de Gea over the next few years. He's still very young for a goalkeeper but on the verge of making an impact. He's risen to prominence very quickly and despite his relative inexperience, de Gea has impressed with his superb temperament and calm, assuring presence at the back. Terrific reflexes and outstanding shot stopping prowess are what have caught the eye of Manchester United and his performances this season have helped give Atletico confidence and composure at the back, something of a rarity for them. His inexperience shows in his occasional inconsistency, but patience with him should mean that United have got themselves a top keeper for many years to come.
But if in the next 2 weeks...
Neuer>Bayern
Stekelenburg>Schalke
Adler>Arsenal
Lloris>Spurs
De Gea>Atl Madrid
1st July:
United>PIG/Lindegaard
I'd rather see OShea playing as keeper then him.
I would have preferred us to get Loris, due to De Gea's age.
But Lloris is nowhere near DDG's quality despite Lloris being his senior by almost 3-4 years iirc.. He flaps on crosses, makes more mistakes etc.. I am super happy we are getting DDG and nobody else..
I'd love to know if de Gea was always our number one target.
