David De Gea

shamans said:
People are ridiculously overrating the fee we should be getting for him. He is a goalkeeper. No matter how good he is he won't fetch fees close to that of an attacking player. That said 50 million + Ronaldo and I'd say we're on :drool:

People are rightly annoyed after Morata price which would put him in top 5 transfers and clearly didn't deserve to be there based on performances. If Morata is around 90million then yes United can say you're getting a goalkeeper entering his prime with 10 years of service guaranteed on the highest level. Feck em, he has a contract, put close to world record price or we won't talk.
 
Also if there is a deal, don't go for Navas. They can go on all about his reflexes and great saves but in EPL he would seriously struggle on high balls.

Makes absolutely zero sense. If we are interested in selling him, we will approach Madrid directly or through Mendes. You think Madrid reads all these English tabloids? Also nothing from BBC so you'd think this is all bs.

This. If we want letting DDG while aslo strengthening, we can add DDG as part of deal for Atletico. 1. DDG would be back in Madid at his club. 2.We get the attacker 3. We don't have to deal Perez. I don't under lstand why people think we're that desperate to deal with Perez like their progapanda news outlet suggest.
 
£50mill ?Dear Moutinho, please tell RMoron that we don't sell them a virus.:mad:
 
Just more paper talk and shit stirring methinks after the Morata deal turned sour.
Dave will be our no.1 next season.
 
If Morata is worth 80-90m to RM than they shouldn't have any issues paying 150-200m for one of the best goalkeepers in the world, DDG.

And Atletico has a strong enough club to match his ambitions along with being his boyhood club. It makes perfect sense. The only problem is that they will not go high or make any offers given they have Oblak.

£50m for a keeper is a WR Fee, you cant compare a fee for a keeper for a striker.
I would say £50m is pretty close to the mark, I would have no problem in Romero being No1 next season.

Why not? There are a lot less that good goalkeepers around than there's compared to some "100m" striker. If they want our player that we don't want to sell, they must pay up crazy amount to get him.

When you don't need to sell the keeper and the team wanting to buy him are being scum bags then insane fees are fine it's time to take them for a ride.
 
This is quite interesting.

I'm only hearing English papers reporting that we are braced for a bid for Real, I've heard/seen nothing in the Spanish press.

Is Woodward briefing the English media? Are we really trying to sell De Gea?
 
I don't think there is any threat from Real this summer.

They were cnuts over Morata, they know we will be impossible to negotiate over Dave and I genuinely think he's settled nicely here under Mourinho with a bit of belief he can win trophies again.

I wonder whether it's a briefing designed to be a bit of a catalyst to start contract talks again and tie him down to another extension.

The briefing could just as easily be from Mendes.

The current WR for a keeper is £37.5m and I just dont think anybody even Madrid will pay double that and a bit more to get DDG, would be good if they did , but I dont see it happening, if we do sell him £50-60m is about the most we can get.

City paid around 40mil for not world class proven keeper. Everton paid 30mil for uncapped Pickford. 50mil for one of the very best GK in the world who has no problem matching any wage offer from other clubs, is a steal. GK bs doesn't work here. Buffon fee was benchmark for ages, DDG cablire should be able totdemans fee with that kind of impact rather than easily be broken within next year or so.
 
Why has this been bumped? I can't see anything to suggest madrid are going in for him? Last tweet i can see says they won't....

We don't have to sell. 50mil would be very soon only get you decent, not great player in other positions. Why weaken ourselves for nothing? It's not like we have to sell before buying

I meant we offer him plus money to buy Griezmann. Atletico can always sell Oblak. W can even buy Oblak too. My point is about we're not desperate to sell DDG if at all, let alone to Real

Your right we dont need to sell to buy , we never have done and your also right in a few years £50m will only get you an average keeper, but right now I think £50-60m would get him.
But I am seeing nothing to say we will sell, I dont think we will sell, well not this season, if he continues to perform well, next summer could be different and then the fee will rise, to near the £90m of that I have no doubt.

WR fee because not too many top goalkeepers have moved teams. You think Bayern would sell Neuer for 50 mil?
 
Strange how all the journos were briefed the same exact thing. Its clear that United briefed them but why? Why make a story of an "anticipated bid" ?

If Madrid want DDG, then they are desperate for him. In that case they either pay up or shut up.

Morata, even in today's market should not be more than 40 mil. But Madrid wanted double of that and by the looks of it we cam quite close. So I don't understand how asking for a similar astronomical sum for DDG is insane?

You also have to understand that DDG is still young for a keeper and his value will increase. In that scenario we obviously have to take his possible longevity into consideration while asking for a price.

Maybe it's not United but Mendes who has done so. In either case, we should tell Madrid to go do one.

Pickford was sold for 30 Million pounds and that's from the team in championship.

Ederson played 1 and half season at Benfica, was sold for 35 Million pounds, considering that you think 50 Million is fair fee for De Gea?

For 50mill I think Mourinho will take it as a humiliation for him.

Especially after RM playing hardball with us on Morata.

There's no benchmark as to what price we have to let go of our best keeper.

De Gea is our main player that we want to keep, if RM really wants to get him then they have to offer a value that we can't resist.

Ask A.Madrid how much they are willing to let Jan Oblak go?

Like Mourinho once said that we should receive an offer that enables us to hire another top keeper.We will not that silly to accept the £50mill for De Gea then fork out £87mill for Jan Oblak.

We need De Gea more than the £50mill, so I think we have no problem to keep De Gea until he served out his contract with us and that's what the contract for.

Don't want a player exchange. Money. lots of it. I dont know what agreement we had with De Gea when he signed his extension, but unless there was some figure set, we should play hardball.
No easy out for Madrid with them getting rid of a player they no longer want and getting his massive wages off their books..
They can keep bale with his 600k/week contract.

If they value Morata at 90m, De Gea should be more than that.

I have faith in Woody.

I really don't get this.

Unless you're United's accountant, what good is it to us fans if United get a lot of money? There's no guarantee they'd re-invest it into players. The Glazer's could very easily just use it towards their debts.

United get enough money through their sponsors, popularity, ticket sales, publicity etc. As a fan, it's only worth selling De Gea if we get a player in return as part of the deal imo.

Almost double the WR price in the normal transfer market would be about right, but I see your point in the over inflated transfer market of today , perhaps you are right.
 
It's downright silly, why would we want to sell him anyway or swap him for any of their players. Dealing with them is a nightmare and why would you send your world class keeper. Especially since we're in CL and that way we'd shoot ourselves in the foot.
Why even think about it?
 
This again. Until DDG comes out and says he doesn't want to go, the speculation will always continue. It got boring a long time ago.

I'd say, just sell him. If we get 60+m, great. I'd even accept a straight swap for Morata.

We are much better at the back, Romero proved to be good last year, really just let DDG go already and end this link to Real.
 
We dont want and dont have to sell. Madrid's valuation of players is a bit bizarre, and so should ours be of the best goalkeeper in the world. 95m Euros at least I'd say

The good thing is, with Romero and Pereira we dont even have to look for a replacement in case De Gea would push for a move (which he wont)
 
This seems a well planned leak by united, there was nothing in AS or Marca and Florentino himself said he sees Navas as number one for next year.
I have a feeling that Mourinho sees De gea as expendable to get one top top quality attacker in. Maybe this si to lure out any Real interest in him to ask for Bale/Morata/Isco etc. This might also be a smoke screen to another transfer that united want to conduct over the weekend. It is strange for these rumours to begin from United. Something Fishy going on here.
 
He'll be here next season. I've no doubt aboo tha.

Madrid can suck a bag of dicks if they think they can have Dave after what they've pulled, both to him two summers ago and to United with Morata.
 
It would be very Real Madrid to dick us about for months over Morata and then try and bid for De Gea as if there's nothing wrong.

They can get fecked.

Or United just leaked this to prove how powerful they are and capable of holding onto players wanted by Madrid.

My theory is more possible, it's all PR games.
 
It's actually a bit of a tricky situation for Madrid - a Madrid born player that (we're told) wants to go back home - if they try and fail to sign him again they will lose face massively, and we know just how much that shit bothers them.
 
I think DDG will stay for a while here. After the Morata deal fiasco, I don't think Real or United would want to deal with each other this season. Let's see the scenario today :
1) It's a seller's market this season. Absolutely crazy prices floated around everywhere.
2) United don't want to sell + we don't need to sell (Money is simply not an issue here).
3) They have valued a bench warmer, who's not even close to being world class at 70m+.
4) The most obvious one being that DDG is the best keeper in the world + starter for Spain for years to come.

Considering all this, the benchmark should be the Buffon deal. A world record fee for a keeper, which will stay so for a long while. So it's either shelling out £95m+ or gtfo.
 
They wanted £80m for their back up striker but want a top 3 goal keeper for £50m? The bastards have no intention of paying a fair fee for him, that much is now clear. I hope Ed faxes them dick pics in reply to their insulting joke of an offer.
