Wasn't it AS who photoshopped that photo when we played Real in the USA so it would seem that the stadium was fulfilled with white shirts while it was the other way around?

Aren't they major RM dickriders?

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.

Doesn't his agent make the same amount of cash if he signs a mega contract with us or moves to Madrid?

That's fine if it's his ambition or family reasons.

But do us the favour of signing the contract thereby getting us a decent fee, at the very least.
 
And I don't get all the "but we stood by him !!!!1!11!" posts, as if it was going above and beyond duty. What else were fans and Fergie supposed to do when they saw a young keeper with potenial struggling, turn on him so his confidence is dashed even more and he doesn't fulfill his potenial? :wenger:

Can't the bint woman fly to Barcelona every week or something? You'd think Dave was man enough to put his foot down
 
In sir alex last book, he told us we put a 35mill buy out clause in Rudd's contract when he wanted out to Real,
30mill euros is just..so low, but its not the first time it's been circulated that he's only going to sign with a low buy out cemented into his deal.

If he wants to move to Real Madrid then he'd have no interest in signing a new contract and jeopardising a possible deal. Hence these possible 30m euro release clause rumours
 
I imagine we'll ultimately cave, he'll stay for one more year and leave for 30 million euro next summer. He'll end up at Madrid soon enough, it's hardly surprising, and I can understand if that's what he wants.

Probably. But his agent is also Falcao's agent - and it doesn't seem as if we're going to sign Falcao - so he'll be missing out on that commission. Another reason for him to convince De Gea to leave just to piss off the club.

Did Ronaldo jeopardise it?

We've shown a lot of faith in de gea. Madrid will always be after the best players anyway.

A gentleman's agreement is all that's needed.

I'm still of the opinion he will sign though. Without that fee.

Ronaldo didn't sign a new contract the summer Madrid came calling. His last contract was signed in 06/07.

He has got a ton of money from this club (Nani, Anderson, Ronaldo, De Gea, Rojo and more importantly the Bebe transfer). Not the best idea to piss of the club (biting the hand that feeds you, etc etc). After all, his dealing with the club are mutually beneficiary.

Last time Ronaldo signed was in 2007.

And de Gea is a goalkeeper. If Real don't sign him, they sign someone else thus blocking de Gea's chances of going there.

Trying to piss off 1 of the... 7 *rich* clubs worldwide who can buy and pay the majority of his top tier clients wouldnt make much business sense though in the longrun, if DDG indicated he wanted to stay with us he'd do the deal, which obviously isnt the case?

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.

Spot on.

He'd just switch to another club. Seems to be in bed with Valencia now so he wouldn't be too fussed.

We're one of the biggest and richest club. There's plenty of money to be earned by us. Mendes won't take 'revenge' just because we're not signing one his players. There will always be another.

Greedy agent?... Its just a guy doing the job he is paid for
He has an agent who is paid by de gea to get him the deal that De gea wants.
It's not like agents force players into doing things.
As it stands de gea is one of the best keepers in the world and he does not have long left on his contract - it's a very strong starting point for negotiating a new contract.
I think he will end up going to madrid but if that happens its because it's what de gea wants and his agent will of course ensure that he gets paid well for that.
If de gea stays his agent will again make sure he gets paid well for that because that's a big part of his job.
His agent will not be forcing him to move somewhere he does not want to go just because it will make the agent more money

As Amir said, there's no chance Mendes would want to piss us off and get prissy because we're not signing Falcao. It's always easy to blame the agent when a player wants to leave but in this case I don't think it's that easy.

Having United doesn't harm him though. He has already United and Madrid, two clubs which do some of the biggest transfers around. Valencia just isn't in that class.

At the end of the day it is business and I don't think that he would get hurt cause we won't sign Falcao. After all, I am sure that he'll understand that we won't burn 40m pounds just to give him a few money. And of course, we might compensate for it with an another Bebe.

He might have push for Falcao's deal, but in the end, I don't think that it will affect De Gea's deal in any way. Also, in the end of the day, De Gea will make the decision, not him. If De Gea wants to leave, there is nothing that Mendes can de. Similarity, if De Gea has decided to go to Madrid, again Mendes can't do anything. He could make things a bit more easy or difficult, but it will be De Gea's decision.

There wasn't much scope to try and tie him down in last two years... Fergie retiring, bad time under Moyes etc... he wouldn't sign a new deal then.

Yeah. In his shoes I wouldn't either.

That's why I'm confident this is all just down to him making sure we're in CL next year.

Then he signs the deal

His agent will do what is in his best interests Im sure, the point I was obviously making is that the odds of keeping de gea are very much stacked against us for varying reasons...
 
All I'm gonna say is not to listen to reports. He doects not come across whatsoever as money hungry ect. Let it play out, I have half a sneaky feeling he will sign a new contract by the end of the season.

As FH says, I think CL football is the main thing he is waiting for.
 
Throughout this entire thing I've been pissed off, but it's never been directed towards David. It's those fecking Real Madrid cnut bags that rile me up. Just thinking about the arrogant swagger of those corrupt debt ridden boo boys who were propped up by General Franco when they should have rightfully gone down the shitter really toasts my crumpets.

And I say that in the kindest possible way to any Real fans on the forum.
 
Yeah i can understand for footballing and personal reasons why he wants a move. Anyone who can't is beyond deluded....

To be honest it would be great if he was money hungry as I think we would pay more than Madrid. Certainly don't see Madrid offering £200k a week. However if he does leave I would imagine personal reasons are the major motivation.
 
Mendes already got his comission in the overpaid transfer of James. He is agent of Falcao and di Maria but also Cristiano, Marcelo,Pepe, Coentrao, James and Varane.

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.

Madrid can´t pay more than 35/40 for a goalkeeper and is not a position that is changing so usually, so probably his only real option to come to Madrid would be this next summer. Another option would be that Iker continues/United refuses to negociate , maybe for that reason is the release clause (only for Madrid), to leave the door open. All can changes depending of United point of view.I don´t think that he will start the season without signing a new contract, that would be irresponsible for his career
 
Taking a leap of faith, but given that price I'd rather we ran it down. It's peanuts to us (especially in an FFP world),if it came to that of course.

I still can't see it though. Most sensible conclusion to me is still that he is waiting to see.

How have you come to this conclusion? I have only heard him in a few post match interviews, etc and the subject of money hasn't come up.

Spoke to him in person about 4 months ago tbf :lol: either way I think you can just tell. He seems passionate about the club, happy to be here, I just think he wants CL football guaranteed.
