Oh I know, we'd be getting 20M at most for him if lucky. Which sucks considering it'd be around the amount we paid for him in the first place but shit happens.

This is what will be awaiting David every evening if he goes to Madrid. Any more questions?
If he doesn't go to Madrid, i definitely will!
Won't stand a chance though.

Tbf he can find much better than that wherever he goes.
Nope.
I'll be sad to see him go, if/when he leaves. Although, the brand of football we've began to play hopefully renders the goalkeeper position less crucial next season. Still, it's painful to think about with so many years left presumably remaining at the top of his game.
...And I'd go anywhere for Edurne.
To me, it's very simple. If he wants to leave because of Edurne & settling down with his family, I can forgive him for that and wish him all the best. If he wants to leave because he thinks he can win more with Real Madrid and does not have faith in our team and our future, I would be very, very bitter indeed.
Obviously I'm not that objective, but I think he'd be crazy to leave. Staying with United, he'd have the chance to be involved in something truly special. What's more, he'd be revered by the fans, particularly when you consider his heroic performances during our transitional phase. Going to Real Madrid, he'd be joining a team already at the top, replacing a living legend in Casillas, and playing for the rivals of the team he came up with. It's very hard to imagine him ever being worshipped in the same way by Real fans, yet very easy to imagine him being blamed for any slips the team experiences. Even for Ronaldo, there have been turbulent moments, such is the demanding (or some might say, fickle,) nature of Real fans.
In the Ronaldo situation, it's easy to understand why he left: he was approaching the peak of his powers, and moving to a league in which scorers flourish made sense. As well, Real were in fairly bad shape (by their standards,) when he joined. None of that applies to De Gea.

For regular shlubs like us on the Caf this is the promised land but for rich superstar sportsmen beautiful women grow on trees.
His gf is too skinny, I hate when you can see bird's ribs..
Can't be bitter when it comes to De Goat. Him extending his contract is better than any possible transfer, but if he leaves, I wish him well and hope he has a wonderful career.
Not if you're in love with that particular beautiful woman.
That was shopped.mate.
Even worse!
Looks bleak. Tragic if he goes, especially to them.
According to "As", He has said no to the last United renewal offer (200.000 pounds a week) and he still insists in a 30 million euro release clause to sign a new contract.
Yup.
As lies a lot, right?
Just let him go. If there is any truth to those demands then he obviously doesn't want to be here so feck it. Even if he signed a new deal, we would just be having all this again with Real every summer.
If this was the first information about De Gea and his intentions, then I would have my doubts. I found a link that is more or less a translation of the article, http://www.insidespanishfootball.com/155320/de-gea-rejects-manchester-uniteds-e14-5m-wage-offer/
This has gotten painful.
Nah, I thought his intentions were clear behind the scenes and nailed on he was off when we singed Valdes, I swallowed the pain, its all just white noise now, just accept it and hope we can get a good fee from those c*nts, you'll feel better.
Not that I really believe anything AS or Marca or any of them say but it's gotten to a point where I can't be arsed if he stays or goes. It'll be a huge loss obviously but he'll move eventually and if it's now then well good riddance and we'll move on.
As a neutral....completely agree with that. I think he would be mad to move (for football reasons anyway). Hope he stays with you lot. How loyal was he with atletico? Hopefully that will keep him away
30M Euro release clause 
Is that release clause fo' real? Put a 1 in front of it.
30M Euro release clause
That figure's been rumoured quite a few times. Ridiculous considering that would have been near what we paid for him to begin with
If he's demanding that (I don't necessarily think he is, I think his head has just been turned by Madrid) then that's a piss take.
We could probably get close to 30 million euros now with just a year left of his contract.

Its obviously bullshit from AS.30M Euro release clause
I'll be pissed off if this is true.
Replacing arguably Spain and Madrid's greatest ever keeper and being an improvement on him would be one of the biggest achievements he could possibly aim for, so in terms of long-term legacy there's something there. He's obviously struggling to break into the Spain team despite being the best keeper available and inevitably he would establish himself as first choice as soon as he replaces Casillas at club level so it makes sense in his career in the short-term too. There's obviously a variety of personal reasons to go along with it that in all likelihood are more important for him than the sporting reasons.
He won't get the same adoration at Madrid but beyond that there's not a lot he'll be losing out on.
I hope so. It's insulting if he and his disgusting agent want this. If it's true I hope we get rid at the end of the season for as much as possible.
Some of the informations in that article have to be bogus. I mean, the salary is somewhat realistic, but I have a really hard time believing that De Gea currently has a 25 Mil. € release clause in his contract. Why would United have agreed to that back in 2011 when they signed him for 20 Mil. €?
IF and this is a big if De Gea actually demands a release clause of 30 Mil € United would do themselves no favoures in extending a contract. He would be a topic for them in every Summer because he is definitely worth that much.
Definitely.
No worldclass player, who wanted to stay at a club, would demand a 30mil Euro release clause. He doesn't want to be here anymore, feck him and move on.
If that report is legit (and I doubt it still) then he can go.
He just doesn't seem the type to be that far up his own arse. Even Ronnie had a gentleman's agreement.
I still have faith he is just waiting for the end of the season to confirm he is staying.
We should be making plans regardless (Lloris specifically)

Yep, we're not one to put release clauses in contracts
Facts are Madrid is home to him, he has a stunning missus who lives there and a greedy agent who will be reminding him of this everyday...... verdict either done this summer or he signs a new deal but goes the following summer, he wont be here long term guys.
