Good point, but I dont think he signed a brand new contract, didnt we have an option to extend his current deal by an extra year which we took up? before allowing his release, something like that anyway.
It would just be equally depressing as it would be amusing at the euphoria of tying De Gea to a contract, thinking ahh well, we get another year from him at least.. only to lose him 20 seconds afterwards if his buyout clause didnt become active... post this summer. :D

VDS is the exact opposite of Handanovic in terms o what they offer. I agree that 30 isnt old for GKs, but Handanovic is not the one we should go for.

Handanovic shouldn't be considered as an option. Even if he was 25 IMO.

Lloris, Leno, Cech. In that order.
 
Anyone that didn't see this coming is an idiot. He'll be a Madrid player by the end of the transfer window and we'll be lucky to get £15 million for him. All kinds of fecking bullshit.

I actually fecking hate Real Madrid.

It would be massively annoying to end up paying more for Lloris that we get for De Gea.

Tevez was playing up, not training, staying in Argentina, getting fat etc. We've no reason to believe that De gea would do anything so unprofessional. If he did he'd deserve the criticism he's getting from some posters in this thread.
 
Meanwhile the AS story. I can't find it. The only DdG story with this kind of commentary in it on the website is: http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2015/04/25/primera/1429916700_654359.html

All that does on the contract side is quote LvG saying we've offered plenty of money but he hasn't signed yet. They then say the UK press is talking about a 200k offer.

They then add a section that could be coming from Mendes or Real Madrid or that they wrote in the bar on a slow news day. Basically that United's price tag for De Gea is £50m.

They then say that the English tabloids have speculated that DdG won't sign a new contract unless it contains a 30m Euros release clause.

Note: no sources, not even a "sources close to" De Gea or Madrid, just the English press.

Ah, so even the typically bullshitting AS, didn't come up with this release clause bullshit?
 
If he wants a 30m release clause then we should take it as that's all we could get for him this summer with his current contract.

I know people say get rid and move on, but he is an important stable part of the spine of the team. We should keep him for next year or two if we can so we can make a serious stab at the title again. In a year or two he may reflect, may even be in a new relationship, he may even want to stay, but if he doesn't, he will still have played an important part of our team for an extra year or two.

Yep. Handanovic is so overrated nowadays. Glad nobody came up with Akinfeev.

For me it would be Lloris, Perin, Leno. Cech doesnt suit our style.

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.

Explain yourself carvajal.

15 million? Calm down mate.
 
We only have ourself to blame if he leaves. To keep hold of great players or to sign new great players, we need to slowly regain old strength. We shouldn't be deluded, like some other bunch, and think we've earned the right to be called a great club for all times. We need to realize and accept that we've fallen a bit in the past years and that even if we're slowly picking up again, we're a level below Madrid and Barcelona in attractivity.
The only way to compete again longterm is to build great teams with great players and win trophies. It's a good sign that we're not scared to splash cash anymore. And it would be a great sign to the rest of the footy world if we could get Dave to agree to stay.
But if he want's to move on, we just need to work harder to get back to the top, so the next gem doesn't even dream of going anywhere else.
 
i heard real are unwilling to match our wage offer so de gea has asked us to contribute to some of his wages as a gesture of good will for 4 years of sterling service.
 
I'm still pretty zen about the whole thing.

People panic and newspapers sell stories off the back of contract rundown scenarios, in reality he could just as easily be biding his time and ensuring we secure a CL place next season before putting pen to paper, if I was in his position that's exactly what I would do.
 
under the current football market ecosystem, ddg has to sign a new contract even if he knows he will go back to his home country at some point of time in future. a gentleman agreement endorsed by both lvg & woodward (or a glazer if necessarily) is more than enough. at the end, this is not in any club's interest to keep a player no longer wanna play for you. the so called 30m euros release cause is simply laughable.

if ddg really leaves by the coming summer, i want the club to announce that we will not deal with his agent anymore. by doing so i can assure you the valuation of his portfolio will immediately decrease by one third for at least. and i don't care how many football stars are currently being under his control. we shall not bow down to a mafia

:lol:

The more significant speculation came from that TV reporter on La Sexta that Carvajal quoted a couple of days ago. He's got some links into the Mendes crew. That story was basically that DdG knows that Madrid would be able to do a personal terms deal, and that the Casillas situation no longer worries De Gea.
 
Although I hope he stays, I'm really not worried about him going.

We have Valdes in the wings who I'm sure could do a job, Cech will be available and there are a number of other keepers who aren't dramatically inferior to DDG.

If he goes, this is a good summer to get a new keeper in.

Calm down? I don't understand? He'll have a year left on his contract come the summer. We won't be getting anything over £15-£20 million for him. It'll be either that or nothing next year.

That will happen without a doubt. If we want to sign him Levy will make us play 40-50 million euros. We will get around 20 if we sell DDG this summer. People who think we will get a big fee or a good player exchange are dreaming. Real has no pressure, they can just wait and get him for free next summer if he wants the move. That's why I want him rather to see go for free next year.

We won't be getting anything over 20 million for arguably the best keeper in the world who is 24 years old and from a club like Madrid? Don't be silly.

And that's if he even leaves anytime soon.

He is right. It's the Lewandowski scenario all over again. Dortmund also thought they could get 40-50 million, which would be a fair fee. Bayern had no pressure for the deal, Lewa wanted the move, so they offered them 20-25 million and Dortmund had the choice pick that fee or lose him for free. It's exactly the same right now. Real has Navas and Casilias, they don't need De Gea now, they just want to have him in the next few months. 20-25 million, we won't get more.

He only has one season left on his contract. We either accept what is offered or we get nothing for him a year from now. Madrid aren't going to offer what he's worth knowing they'll pick him up on a free next year.

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

Except you're the one missing one key point, that De Gea could go and sign a new contract tomorrow with us which completely mutes the point you're trying to make. A bullshit report or two comes out and suddenly it's fact that he's not signing a new contract and is off to Madrid for feck all? That's this place for you.

If he signs a new contract then we will get a big fee of course. But right now he hasn't.
