He is like the Messi of goalkeepers, why are people too fussed about it?

Lose him for 100m, and we're like idiots looking for new world class goalkeepers for several years. Most of you guys must have forgotten the times before we signed Van Der Sar. Shambles.

I mean look how long for Liverpool to finally get a decent goalkeeper.
 
Absurd amount of money but we knew what we were getting into when we spent the amount on Sanchez.
 
If true, then its more evidence of why we are where we are. iirc he is alread the highest paid GK and we want to pay him more. Even oil clubs arent paying such wages. Soon other players will demand more ridiculous wages.

But hey Mourinho is the problem! what a joke

Isn't that the point though? Liverpool have a goalkeeper who is a proper tier or two bellow De Gea but they're doing just fine. They wold spend the reported 400 a week somewhere else.

Again, it's not my money and I'm really happy we have De Gea but it just seems odd we have the worlds best goalkeeper and will be investing so heavily in it now without a proper investment in our outfield players. It's just a shit ton of money! All I'm wondering is, is it really worth it? I mean how much difference can a goalkeeper make even if he is De Gea? The again, we don't have a lot to offer him. Money it is :(

We tell the others to play as well as De Gea if they want ridiculous wages as him. If the other players perform as well as De Gea, we would have had 5 consecutive Champions League trophies by now.

They are doing fine? No trophies mate.

We can't give him titles, might just give him the money for now. I'd take that.

No, De Gea isn't highest paid GK, that is Neuer.

German tabloid “Bild” is reporting Neuer is now one of the top earners at Bayern. The publication claims Neuer's new wage will be in the region of 15 million euros per year.

Yeah, trying to tie down world class player is wrong, considering how much it will cost to sign a replacement.

And this isn't the thread, but yeah Jose is the problem and he is the one killing the club.
 
Best keeper in the world should be paid this. Especially when you’re at a club that utlize your peak years and not give you any silverware of any merit.
 
DDG is giving his best years to our club but people keep forgetting that. You can't keep everyone happy. DDG is about to leave - 'oh look how the mighty have fallen'. The club ties him down on good money but ensuring a WC player for the team - 'oh he is not worth that'.

Kepa and Allison cost 70m. Tying down DDG is still a lot less than this.

And some of these worship a player who left us and spent his peak years at another club. Guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

What does Liverpool have to offer Allison? Keepers are not easy to find and replace. Who do you think would replace DDG? And how much would it cost? You are willing to go a tier or two below to save money, on a position which is so crucial! Don't you think that money which we are effectively saving by tying him down can be invested in attack and midfield? I am pretty sure the club knows much better about their finances then you do so I would trust their judgement.
 
If this is true, we'd genuinely get a player who stay here, not because he wants to win things, but just because we pay shit load of money. I despair.

Or he loves the club, wants to win with United and is asking for wages based on what united have paid other players who are shit.

Why do you think we won't invest in outfield players just cause DDG will get the reported money if he'll get it? It doesn't make sense at all. Even if we world go for a tier below keeper it would cost a lot of money and the difference between a fee and his salary wouldn't be big compared what we would give DDG.

This. There's always a problem. It was a mass panic if he wants to leave, now people are despairing over his supposed wage. Parallel with Ronaldo is a good one too.

AFAIK the top GK salaries are
DDG £200k,
Kepa £190k,
Neuer £130k,
lloris £120k,
Alisson £120k,
iker £115k

Buffon should also be in the 100k+ range and I haven't seen a consistent number for Courtois but doubt its 200k+. Do you have different numbers?

Madrid won the CL 3x with Navas in goal, and shows that you dont need to have the best GK in the world to be successful. We need world class players in more important areas than as a GK.

Unfortunately, they dont need too. They will be fine with half of it while still being mediocre or even poor.
 
He should be your best paid player. Make him captain and give him the number 7 shirt.

Your best player by a country mile over the past 5 years. Letting him go on a free would be borderline negligence.

100% spot on correct. You don’t need a world class keeper to win trophies when you have the world best player in Ronaldo, Modric, Bale, Ramos etc etc

So we just need to go out and buy £1bn worth of players, and then we can ditch our only world class player, buy an average keeper for £20m and pay him £100k rather than pay our best player what he’s worth.

What he is worth? Is he that much better than the other top GKs that are earning less than him even under his current contract?

We have been paying him the highest GK wages for years, so how many CL and PL have we won?
 
It's the sun and it's 400k after bonuses si probably in the end it won't be worth of mass panic.
 
Club do absolutely everything they can to keep their best and only world class player (who is pretty much irreplaceable at this point given the lack of top class keepers available), and supporters still moan.

Caf logic :wenger:

Am a huge fan but he doesn't deserve that sort of wage, never in a million years.
Things that Sanchez deal cause.

I really don’t understand your argument - where on earth would we be without DDG?

Chelsea just paid out £90m for a keeper. It would probably cost us £60m to go any buy Jordan Pickford. Why do you resent us paying DDG decent wages. If we benchmark him against our own players, then clear as day he should be out top earner. He’s the only world class player we have, and he’s been consistently outstanding for 5 years.

It doesn’t matter whether you rate him as the best keeper in the world, in the top 3 or the top 10 - he’s one of the best. Furthermore the big difference between him and any other keeper is that he plays for us, he can handle the pressure and perform well (to a world class level) - any other keeper in the world is a risk (as is every transfer). So why would you even contemplate a scenerio where we get rid of him for someone else who is unproven (at Utd) to save on wages that we can afford to pay. Nuts.

Those rumored numbers are not decent wages. Decent wages will be in comaprison to what his peers are earning and he is already the best paid GK in the world even with his current salary.

Paying those rumored wages will have ripple effect on other renewals and incoming players. Just look at our roster, and the quality of players we have and salary we pay. That same wage makes it dificult for us to sell our mediocre players. Its ridiculous that our wage bill is close to Citeh's but their squad is far superior. Paying DDG ridiculous wages is not going to fix it

BTW Ederson says hi, with his PL medal and £65k wages!

Neuer gets 15 million per year and Buffon was among the highest paid keepers in the world, he was around 150K per week even in his last season.

These are all reported wages.

So you'd let DDG go and get which keeper and for how much money?

Wow, even when proved wrong you still carry on and spread lies :lol:
 
fecking hell, people should stop using wages from sillyseason and other sites and take it was facts.

However, in your argument, you forgot to factor in the sum United would earn if he were to be sold. That would be way more than 70 million.

That said, I firmly believe that he should be given whatever he demands to stay put

He even signed extension in 2018, I'm not surprised that he believes it as he also believed some imaginary list reported by sportskeeda.
 
Ed logic: Give him £150k with a £250k clean sheet bonus. Neglect spending on defending = no clean sheets = no bonus. Money saved!
