That's what we call dedicatioan and passion for work.
Not in all walks of journalism.
I was about to say only football journalism, but then I deleted it as that clearly isnt true.
But a lot of journalists have to have some kind of record of accuracy. Clearly not necessary for tabloids, or football anywhere though.
That's true but much less than in the past. Even so called serious papers are sometimes turned into tabloids cause journalists want clicks and are prepared to write everything to get them.
The pub.
That what I said, wasn't it?
Tweet from the MUTour before the start of the season. SergeMUFC retweeted it. The irony...
Not sure there is any substance to this, seems like a rehash of various rumours over the last month or so, however we are well aware of how Real Madrid operate, they will 'court' him for the next 6 months, no doubt, which may mean he will be gone in the summer.
I wish he'd sign that new deal & pledge himself to us.

I have added a poll, you can change your vote as the situation ebbs & flows over the next few months, the poll will stay open until the beginning of September.
If I remember I will post the results up on a weekly basis in the OP so we can track our sentiments each week.

First to vote he is going......
Spanish media reporting he's off, English media reporting he'll stay. Neither are reputable.
But I think he'll go.

I dunno what would piss me off more, the fact that he'd go for Madrid or the fact we'd accept £23.5m. I don't believe it though.
We should have offered him a new contract much earlier.
i believe it. We sell our players for dirt cheap compared to other clubs
I would be pleasantly surprised if he's still here next year.
What's the current record fee for a goalie?
If we sell De Gea I will personally find Woodward and slap him in the face with a wet fish.
The Job Centre more like. Didn't Desmond sack a bunch of hacks from the sports desk recently?
Buffon cost Juve £32.6m in 2001. Unlikely De Gea would top that with just a year left on his deal...
@Damien could you set the poll end date to when the summer transfer window closes, I can't seem to edit it.
Thanks
Thanks
Why?
What would have Woodward done wrong? Nothing. If he doesn't accept our contract offer then there's very little you can do.
I think he will stay personally.
Why does it take so long? We're pursuing Neuer or what?
I don't want to hear the other "what" answer.

A logical explanation is that DDG's camp is stalling, either to make a move somewhere else or to maximize his wages under a new contract. The fact that he's managed to run down his contract to within a year of its expiration is indicative of the stalling.
I will get slated for this most likely but I just hope van Gaal won't try to go all Hollywood again and put himself in the centre of attention by selling him and trying to prove he can live without De Gea. A part of me thinks he might do that, the way he downplayed his performances around the time of Liverpool game was very weird. Getting rid of De Gea would be the ultimate bold move LvG could make.
Looks to me that it's a new club policy to give new contracts to players only before they expire. The likes of Jones, Smalling and Rafael also have contracts up to 2016 and they haven't got any offers to renew, as far as I know.
With everything that gone down last season who could blame him for waiting a bit before making his decision
I also have the weird feeling that it might be indeed due to LvG that he has not extended yet. If LvG happens to be the reason DDG leaves us then I hope he is sacked very soon. I will have the desire to go to his house in Manchester and tell him what a clown he is because of this.
Is it possible that CL football is weighing on whether or not De Gea and his camp accepts a new contract? A player of his calibre shouldn't be missing out on playing in it two seasons in a row. A player of his calibre should be fecking winning the thing.
I don't think LvG is passing up on him though. He said himself that he sees no issue with De Gea signing, so I'd imagine it's all down to De Gea.

In their case it's permissible as they're not our most valuable assets, less likely to want to leave and less likely to be coveted by the top cubs in Europe. Twice we've let Rooney get within 18 months of his contract being up and we've let it happen with De Gea here, it's not a good showing from the club.
Certain ITK Twitter accounts are claiming that El Mundo are reporting that David De Gea has signed a new contract.
Can only do days weeks or months so I've set it to end mid September.
Quote from Sky Sports website, from the article about Falcao.
Obviously it doesn't mean a lot as he's no longer the President but let's hope the club share his view...

Morons blaming LVG for him not signing
Morons blaming LVG for him not signing
Some people actually think LVG wants to sell DDG just to prove a point? What the feck is wrong with people? One defeat and everyone turns batshit crazy.
It appears to have been deleted. I think it was an ITK tweet saying that El Mundo says he'd signed a new contract. Nothing on the El Mundo website about it, from what my limited Spanish can see.
Funny thing is, Selling De Gea is exactly the type of thing LVG would do to prove a point. (If what is said about Rivaldo is true, then I wouldn't put it past him)
