David De Gea

feck :<

I honestly thought Madrid would try low ball us, 60m is a decent opening offer tbh. I expect him to go for around 75-80.
 
Think this joy will be short lived, if DeGea expresses his desire to leave, we're going to have to let him go. Don't want it to get to a situation where he submits a transfer request.
 
I thought earlier it was said that we were confident of DDG staying?

Either way no need to panic yet. £60m is a lot for a keeper, and looks like it's instant rejection from our side. I have no doubt that if he does go then we'll get our moneys worth, or a quality player in return. I'll only begin to seriously worry that he's going if he hands in a transfer request.[/QUOTE]

Honestly don't see this ever happening. For one I think he is genuinely happy here and will only consider the move if we are happy with the price, and 2 he has that element of class about him ( when he isn't stealing doughnuts from supermarkets) and requesting a transfer would be beneath him
 
Varane or nothing for me.

James is great, but it means shipping both Mkhi and Mata, which is unlikely. Bale is superb, but injuries have taken their toll.

Varane and Bailly at centre-half is the dream. If not, agree 60+ for next summer when Donarumma is free/ish.
 
What's acceptable for us is not selling. If a move were to substantiate, £60m is absolutely fair.

If not selling him is the only acceptable outcome then you don't sell, if 90m is acceptable then you would accept an offer of 90m should you get one. Fairness doesn't come into the equation.
 
If DDG doesn't want to leave I don't see why United would even sell for £100 mil.
 
This is kinda a piss take to Navas though, doing this now.

If DDG is happy, we wont sell. If he wants to leave, he will go for much more money. City kinda did us a favour with their offer for Ederson. It means 60m had to be the opening bid as they knew we would reject that. Can see them going to world record numbers trying to get him.
 
There's no acceptable fee for me, if he leaves we're taking a step in the wrong direction IMO.
 
Likewise, whatever money we were to get, surely any selling club would demand for the "replacement". It's a simple argument, "You want him to replace De Gea, we want the money you got for him."
 
There comes a point where it would be mad not to sell.

Get £100 million, replace him with Joe Hart and spend the remaining £98 million on Matic. Everyone is happy.
I'm not sure I'm liking those numbers.
 
At least double the price of Edurson.

Not really. Ederson is a younger and has an contract until 2023 for Benfica, De Gea only until 2019. Ederson already shown his talent against Dortmund in CL. Next year Real could try to sign De Gea for much less.
 
I despise that vile club and everybody associated with it. I hope Woodward takes them to the cleaners if the deal goes through.

Imagine paying 60m+ Joe Hart. We would never live it down.

and the remaining £2m on Griezmann.
 
The thing is, even if they come back with 80m, why would we accept that? Looking at the situation as it is now, we would probably have to spend 50m-60m on his replacement so the difference isn't worth it. I really can see us accepting anything less than a world record fee or if we do it would have to be close to it.
 
This coming out just before a final is no good for Navas.
The briefing from the club suggests it's not an issue of valuation.
We will reject all bids as long as Dave doesn't say he wants to go.
 
Not liking the name, would rather Romero over Joe Hart the perhaps most overrated keeper on the basis of being English.
 
He's under contract, doesn't seem likely to hand in a transfer request, and we don't need the money. Like Pogba last year, he's worth what the buying club is willing to pay for him. Hope we hardball the feckers.

Instead they get annoyed and put in 70 m on courtois

We stick with Romero and buy ourselves something pretty with the money.
 
My people think his people just don't want to miss out on a loyalty bonus.

Clubs don't bid this type of money unless they know the player is willing. Tapping up used to be against the rules but now everyone does it.
My people think anyone who is willing to beleive a Sun article need their heads examined.

Same here. Makes it seem RM is really serious & really value DDG. If they low-balled, you'd figure it was just a token gesture to make it seem they tried. Still, I wonder which side leaked it. If it was RM, then I would doubt the 60m figure, putting it out there that they tried with a world record bid. If MUFC put it out there, it just establishes a starting point and that they're serious in keeping DDG.

Still early in a window that hasn't officially opened yet.
 
Remember when there were reports of there being a 40m release clause when the transfer fell through and he signed a new contract. Now we are laughing at 60m bids.
 
I hope we don't cave in to Cash + Morata for De Gea. That earlier report by Di Marzio about our interest in Morata and this news is scaring me now.
