Aguero is an Argie.
I'm aware of that but it's also a common assumption that most South American players want to play in Spain and prefer Real Madrid/Barcelona over English based clubs. While that probably holds some truth in relation to a lot of them, it's not a given at all.
South America has always produced so many talents, that they had enough numbers in all big European leagues. Sure Spain (and Portugal for Brazilians) is the most attractive first destination because of the language, but once they get settled in a different country and learn the language there is not that much pull for them to move to Spain. For Spanish players things are obviously different - it's their home country with all their friends and relatives there...
Cheers. I wasn't actually thinking about our mate Carlos, had completely forgotten about that bell. More, Denis law and Peter Schmeical are the ones that spring to mind.
I will feel better when he signs a new contract and states his intentions to stay
Heard a good conspiracy theory on a podcast. Dave and Falcao both have the same agent, Jorge Mendes. A bloke who presumably stands to make a lot of money if we press on and sign Falcao on a permanent deal. Now, how could he exert pressure on the club to do exactly that?
Tomorrow's Sun (Neil Curtis) - De Gea tells teamates he's staying at United:
I'm De Stayer?! oh lord. That's worse than @Crackers' puns.
There aren't much worse then them!
Even IF he did leave for Madrid which I don't think he will, shrewd Ed would demand either a crazy amount for him to justify the transaction or he would ask for Bale.
No! Not even then!Only if Real offer Ronaldo in exchange...
Express thinks Madrid are going to ''smash'' the world record (£33 million for Buffon). There's no source or anything. The more the news papers write shite its hard not to get slightly worried, however Casillas seems to be in great form, he even saved his last two penalties.
IF it was 100% going to happen (big if) I'd only except either Bale, Ronaldo or €100 million.

As a straight swap, I honestly wouldn't be happy with Bale for De Gea. Maybe in a year's time, but not right now. Our defence is the absolute last thing we can afford to have weakened at this moment in time, and replacing De Gea would be practically impossible.
Express make all of their stories up.
Bale is worth more than De Gea and De Gea will be in the final year of his contract. I wouldn't like us to swap them as I like De Gea way too much for that but I'm not going to pretend that getting a £70m player in exchange for a player that is worth £25m maximum given his contract situation wouldn't be an amazing deal.
Yeah, obviously Bale is worth more in terms of transfer fees/marketing etc... but as in who helps us to win games right now, a world class goalkeeper is preferable to a world class winger.
Well I honestly believe if he was to leave he'd do what Suarez done for Liverpool and sign a new contract, he's a good guy and does actually loves the club especially when he was in his rough patch. Personally I don't see him leaving but I honestly think he would sign a new contract to get us a bigger deal and a 5 year plus 1 contract with his age and potential I believe would be worth at least €50 million in todays market.
I really don't get how people don't know this.
Don't forget Ince.
They linked us with a £12 million move for Robertson from Hull only a few weeks ago despite the fact we have just spent nearly £30 million on Shaw as well as signing two other players that can play LB.
Is it possible to ban them as a source? I don't think anyone would have any issues with it, bar The Express and if more forums made a similar stand to that form of journalism it would kill their clicks and force them to adopt a more genuine form.
This will happen. Real always get their man. Summer i think. Only chance he'll stay is if we get CL.
No they don't.
Well sure Neymar went to Barca. Did you hear his interview? His English is poor, so hes probably not fully settled. Going back to Spain would be easy, playing for a club competing to win the CL, rather than hopefully being back in it.
I hope i'm wrong, but i think we all saw this one coming some way out. It'll be gutting when he leaves.
Tomorrow's Sun (Neil Curtis) - De Gea tells teamates he's staying at United:
Surprised they've made Rodgers the lead when they are also reporting about another bastard sugar daddy apparently coming into the league at Spurs - didn't they find Levy's wonderful face worthy of the big back-page photo?
Anyway I try not to believe anything the tabs say, and I'm certainly not starting with the Sun. On balance I do think De Gea will renew with us, but now that Real have been linked I can't see him seeing out such a contract - though that said maybe with our current attitude we could beat Real on wages?
I wouldn't worry about Spurs with FFP in place and their level of attraction.
His English is absolutely fine.
What are you talking about, for someone who has only been speaking english for 3 years its fine. Also he clearly looks settled. Get out of this paranoid, small minded mentality. We are in the stronger position, not Real. We have no need to sell. They also have Keylor Navas on the bench if Casillas leaves, they just need a back up.
Of course we will get CL.
Of course we'll make the CL, our target should be higher.
Always the same, one random, unfounded rumour that Real are in for him and this place shits itself. One random, unfounded rumour that he's told mates hes staying and it's ignored.
We're back to this level of arrogance of assumed top 4 already? I trust this is just the lingering high from the Liverpool win.
If we don't get into the CL this season then I doubt he'd be the only one considering moves so lets hope your right
It's not arrogance, but confidence.
Anyway, it's also the rest of the league not looking too clever, I just don't see any more than 2 teams (3 at a very big stretch) capable of finishing above us.
We're 10 points ahead of Liverpool. Other than Arsenal who might have a small chance I don't see who would finish ahead of us?
Exactly this. Arsenal could finish ahead with a good end to the season (very doubtful), Liverpool certainly won't and neither will Spurs. West Ham and Southampton are incapable of that too. It'd take an extra-ordinary collapse for us to lose it from here.
Didnt we ask DDG to chose mendes as an agent when we signed him? Remember the deal being delayed for a good two weeks because of his ex-agent.
Selling DDG would be silly. Its time we assert ourselves as a big club at par with the likes of Real. We won't achieve that if we keep on being their bitches.
