Has nothing to do with what we want, obviously we'd prefer to keep one of the World's best. He's coming to an age where he will start thinking about more than football though, his girlfriend has already made it crystal clear she thinks Manchester is shite and won't move here, so it's only a matter of time before he moves there to start thinking of starting a family etc.
David De Gea
- Thread starter Paxi
- Start date

Same every fecking year with De Gea.
There's a trampoline and slide in the garden and in the photo of the kitchen there seems to be kid's pictures pinned up on a whiteboard. There's a kid's cushion in the sitting room and there's a few random trophies in the sitting room.
Also would someone put their house up for sale before a contract is signed? Deals fall through (De Gea of all people knows this). He doesn't need the cash so can wait until the contract is signed.
Also it was reported by the Scum. I really doubt its true.
The problem with trading a player from Madrid is you have no idea about their attitude and if they could cut it out in the prem and manchester. Madrid players are some of the most spoilt by far.. And its obvious.
I'd personally like Isco, Varane, or Morata (if we dont get Griezmann). But most of the spanish players in RM that we'd want probably wouldn't want to come and would be stuck up (imo). Morata has done some stupid shit, regardless of him being a good striker already.
Will be gutted when he leaves, not because I think we NEED him, but hes been one of my favourite players for us over the last few dreary seasons. That being said, if he really wants to go to spain he should, but, we should want a fee thats expected of arguably the best GK in the world.
As a replacement, Schmeichel, Oblak, or Leno. Depends how much leno would go for, actually would prefer him out of all the options.

Well if we carry on letting 0 shots on target then we could sign O'shea in goal for all I care.
Obviously having De Gea is a massive bonus as he's world class, but if he WANTS to leave then we should just sell him. Use Romero for a while and then sign Butland/Donnarumma or somebody else potentially class.

It's definitely his house though, he's got Instagram pictures in that same garden
Yeah, it's getting to the point where you think, if he's staying this Summer, he should just come out and say so.
I know that a player shouldn't have to do that, but this has gone on every Summer for years now.
I didn't realise that, had a look though and its definitely the same house.
Weird though, the ad online has a photo with a play pen and a child's room.

I'm just gonna ask as I see ppl saying it's gathering pace again. What's being reported? And where?
To be fair , because we haven't really improved in 3 years he has that decision to make each summer.
That said he's the highest paid keeper in the world so I'd be of the opinion that he should give it 1 more JM season, then take stock.
Spot on, the problem is the building of said defence. He'd have to get it spot on because right now despite the fact that De Gea is keeping cleansheets and we are't conceding I wouldn't exactly call us defensively solid. With the players I'd say that teams will always think that they can get a chance or two against us
Even if he's leaving, it makes no sense to sell his house before the end of season?
Why not wait until he's in Madrid before selling the house?
Surely he can't be worried about the mortgage repayment.
More likely that he's bought another one.

I'm hoping that we sign Jordan Pickford in replacement for DDG should he go. Either him or Donnarumma (unsurprisingly)
Both great talents

We havent improved since Moyes?
Pretty obvious he meant we are in the same spot in the table, and we still aren't playing the type of high profile games that a team like Madrid are (and still not that close to it). Anyone born in Madrid and Spain's #1 keeper would be keeping an eye on a move like that. Different if we were in a period of form like 07-09.
You mean he wants to play in an easier league? Gotcha!
Ya got me. Good one.
If he goes, get Oblak. He would be the best GK we could get.
Other candidates would be Ederson or Sergio Rico.

They're for Mata and Herrera when they have sleepovers...
Take this very light pinch of salt as he doesn't have a clue alot of the time..
Yep, course we have.
But were we to miss out on CL , again, then the improvements would be immaterial as the end result would be 7, 4,5 and 5th(for example).....
I hope we have a replacement ready. Don't have any info but it seems to me that his reasons for a move a almost entirely not football related. Nothing we can do if wants to be with his girl and family in Spain.
Exactly. I don't think it's footballing reasons but solely because of his girlfriend. I guess he's at the age where he'll want to settle and start a family. She most certainly doesn't want to do it in Manchester, so he'll have to go there.
I just hope we don't end up with Navas, good shot stopper but awful in other areas.
If DeGea does leave then we must ensure we get minimum £60-70m for him.

I bet he will go for €50m but I hope we are able to get Isco or Varane as part of the deal.
My opinion is that he is off this summer.
He better end up being the most expensive goalkeeper.
Not Varane, ain't he more injury prone than dumb and dumber (jones & smalling)?
100 m euros including add ones.
86 m Pounds .
We're not getting above £50 million for a keeper, especially if he wants to leave. No chance.
I reckon the stories are bs though.

He's been pining after a move to Madrid for years though. It's not exactly a secret.
Your expectations are too low in the current market.
Its time to stop signing madrid dreamers.
He'll leave sooner or later. It's inevitable. At least we'll rest from the rumors surrounding him every summer as it becomes boring for me tbh.
I just don't think Madrid would pay that much for a keeper and that's why I think he'll stay - because he doesn't seem the type to force a move.
If madrid wont pay its their and de gea's problem, it means they dont want him that bad.
Look Phil is a bit of a gobshite at times but he does have sources. He gets all the best journos like Ogden on his shows.
So long, Dave. Shame, but I'd rather we got a great keeper that wants to be here than a WC keeper who doesn't.
