Thanks Zizou!
David De Gea
- Thread starter Paxi
- Start date
Music to my ears. Especially coming from Marca aka Perez.
This is two years in a row when they have decided against David.
They are so so kind
They are so so kind
That's giving him too much credit. He's a good keeper but he's not won them anything. They've won because of what they have going forward and de Gea would definitely have improved them. It's a PR spin because either a) They're not willing to pay what we've asked for or b) De Gea wants to stay. Just like how we suddenly wanted a 9 and not a 10 2 months after Ibra got injured once Greizmann decided to stay.
He's been their keeper for the past two years, so yes, he has been part of their winning sides which with a mistake here and there from other keepers could've resulted in completely different results.
Ofcourse, I'm not denying that. He's played his part and played it well. What I meant was that he was not critical to their success and De Gea would improve them.
Woohoo Real are letting us hav him for another season! so kind of them x
Fingers crossed this is true.
The foundations of the team are built on him.

I don't think De Gea would necessarily improve them much if at all. If that were the case, they would be far more aggressive in seeking to buy him.
You don't reckon De Gea would be an improvement on Navas? I gotta disagree with that, he's the far better keeper. Re them being aggressive, most of the transfer work happens behind the scenes tbf. If De Gea's entourage hasn't agreed to kick up a fuss, they know he isn't coming cheap and that's perhaps warded them off. Or maybe we've quoted a price they consider too steep. Who knows, too much guesswork when it comes to such things as very little is out in public knowledge.
He's be a great buy for them, but they can't possibly improve on their achievements of the past year (spare winning the Copa Del Rey), so the investment in DDG would not yield anything more than what they've already achieved.
I agree.He could improve us a bit in the pitch but would deteriorate the good atmosphere in the dressing room
Yeah but that's no reason not to improve. A top side improves from a position of strength and I'm pretty sure Real will do that. Thing is, their first 11 and the squad in general is so fecking good, it's hard to imagine how

As Carvajal suggested, the improvement on the pitch would be marginal relative to what it might do in the dressing room. When you have a successful, galvanized squad, you don't feck with it by replacing positions that are already doing well.
Yeah, good point actually. If Navas is a favourite in that dressing room, it wouldn't be a great idea to feck with that harmony. 1st world problems, fecking cnuts
Hopefully this is true! Bar Neuer, there isn't another GK that'd be an adequate replacement. We have too few top class players as it is, so keeping one of our only 4(?) is vital.

76% of Madrid fans think its good that De Gea is not signing for them. No doubt that message will be passed on to Perez.

Didn't they just say this morning that Madrid will make an approach this week ?
If he sticks around long enough for us to start winning big trophies again and hes got a solid chance to be our best ever keeper
Especially since Madrid players have publicly said they want navas to stay, he's a fine keeper, would be happy with a swap trade plus cash.
So, the spanish homer press went from "this will be sorted in two weeks" to "we didn't want him anyway" in a day? What a bunch of idiots.
Definitely.
Absolutely no news about our club so far this window, but this is alot better!
Great news, give him a longer contract with a pay i and a ridicolous, or none, release clause.
I think this is a classic case of one official in the club making an inquiry of a players price, and a couple of weeks later with silverware in the bag, a strengthened manager can come out and say "No thanks, I'm happy with my keeper" Not the first time it happens down there. It's a bit of an anathema for is used to the manager being in total charge, but I suppose it works for them.
Unless De Gea makes some noise about leaving we wont sell him. Even for 80m. Mou said it himself if a player wants to leave he wont stand in their way cause they can cause disruptions within the squad. So the media and Madrid can say what they want but this wont happen unless De Gea comes out and says he wants to leave.
Guy on during the halftime show of the Spain/Colombia friendly was just talking about this.
Seems that Zidane doesn't want to rock the boat with his squad. Makes sense.
Hopefully Navas keeps his recent form up and never makes a mistake ever again.
Think Dave himself is tired of getting dicked around.
Great news. So David needs to buy back his old house or get a new one, right?
He should start with getting an new Missus.
Amen to that. What poor Edurne must be enduring today... she needs to deal with it, cause he's ours!
The old saying muff before mates has perhaps applied with Dave, but MUFC before muff has applied here it seems.Amen to that. What poor Edurne must be enduring today... she needs to deal with it, cause he's ours!
What happened last year?
That basically Real threw the towel in early and Marca reported that early in the window too and there wasn't a hint after that. Marca tell you exactly who Real want and identify and try everything to make the deals happen by chatting bollocks and all kinds of other tapping up tactics. They aren't the type to try and throw water over something so the deal is conducted quietly.
I have a suspicion that Dave has told Mendes, Jose and the club that he's very happy and that message has been passed on over to Real who in turn are saving face.
No, it went to "it will be sorted in two weeks either way" to "zidane convinced perez to stop pursuing him"
Funny how they think only Madrid thinking matters. Nice face saving though.
A mid finger from us to Real? Pay up or suck up? Good.
I'd prefer to sell him. Sick of the speculation every summer. And I don't want a player here who is only staying because Real don't want him.
Of course if Real now don't want him, no-one else will move for him.

Doesn't matter if Madrid want him or not, what matters is then paying up the asking price.
Don't understand the point of this post. Yes, if Madrid want him, they will have to pay the asking price. Doesn't that go without saying?
No. Madrid might want him but still end up falling short of the asking price, like numerous clubs didn't match Pogba's asking price.
Not sure why you even believe De Gea staying or leaving only depends on Madrid. 3 parties should agree for that to happen.
