Let's be realistic, of we don't make the CL then he's off. The general consensus on here is that we won't make the CL, and the idea of winning it causes fits of laughter from some.
He came to us when we were only in the EL. I think the CL is very important to players, but so is lovely money, and we dish that out.
Doesn't mean to say players shouldn't be honoured to wear our badge. Whether our fans recognize it or not we are a massive and historic club.
That's fair. I think we have enough clout, money, and depending on what the board does , direction that we can counter a Bayern.
I think we got the point. You sound like you're sorry for him.
I was watching the City documentary on Amazon, Aguero said he was good friends with De Gea and spent a lot of time with him. He's similarly committed his best years to stay in Manchester, so his influence and outlook may play a part in De Gea staying.
I think him staying so long might be down to him being generally bad at settling in at a new place.
It was very tuff for him when he started here and he will proberly rather not go through that again. Just see how he has performed on the national team.
I think De Gea knows this and knows he performs best in a safe enviroment
That or he loves the money...

Is this true? Get rid of this Spanish Judas instantly.
I agree with this. Also after his howlers with Spain, the fact that we offer comparative unconditional support tugs at his heart strings? I’m sounding a bit too fluffy now but here’s hoping!
What about Big Dave and Dave De God ?
Aguero seemed pretty lonely when he was being interviewed. His friends are Otamendi and De Gea - due to knowing each other at Atletico.
Who? De Gea?
Think you May be mistaken. Fergie signed him and we never finished lower than 3rd under Fergie.
Tbh at this rate hes gonna end up being considered in the conversation for, if not outright our best ever GK based on his loyalty during the shitstorm we’ve been for most of his time here and pure talent.
Why the feck is the club dragging this out?!
I dont think its the club dragging this out unfortunately.
Everybody has a price. 600k a week will do imo.
The club probably isn't dragging anything out, it is DDG rightfully being in doubt about signing due to our lack of competitivness for these last years. It is up to the management to convince him that we are going places, this is a player that deserve to be in a team considered both league and CL favourites. He won't leave for a nothing club like PSG for money, if he leaves it is because he doesn't believe in the progress of the team, or if he wants a change of scenery to his native country.
If he does leave, we have to spend at least 50m on a new keeper. Just spend that 50m on his new 5yr contract i say.

So if we want the best goalkeeper in the World for 5 more years - we have to fork out roughly £75 Million in wages….jeez what a difficult decision. He could ask for £500.000 a week - we would be mad to turn it down
Just give him whatever he wants
Rename the club if he wants it, we've been DDG United FC for the last 5 years anyway

It doesn’t work that way though. If he does leave it will presumably be for a huge fee. So you can incorporate that into your sums. Which makes the decision a little less straightforward.
He's as good as signed if this is the case.
He’s not going anywhere. The biggest threat was always Real Madrid and that obviously won’t happen anymore.
If he's only asking that much then we should pay it immediately. 5 years @ £300k is only about 5.2 M per year above what he currently gets. That's about £26M over the course of his contract.... much cheaper than replacing him (and he's irreplaceable).
If there was any doubt in Ed's mind, yesterday would have cleared it.
Unlikely, he's entering the final year of his contract (assuming we trigger the option). It will be an Alderwereld type situation.
If salary budget is an issue, I would happily let Sanchez go to China and take his +300k salary and give it to De Gea. At least DDG has actually been consistently the best for years and no one (either from the fans or the squad) will dispute that he deserves it. Unlike Sanchez who's been stealing a fortune for nothing over the past year.
He must be kept. Throw money at him.

Err what!?
We were second in the 2011-2012 season behind City. We definitely weren't only in the EL when David arrived.
Pay the man.
He’s obviously staying. I think he’s just a very focused guy and the apparent lack of urgency is likely due to an understanding and he’ll be signing on soon.
£300,000-a-week? Damn David holding the club to ransom. Why not promote another young goalkeeper from our academy? Isn't it supposedly the United way?
Just give him what he wants. Use the money we pay Sanchez.
Don't feck this up Ed. Give him whatever he wants.
Not if he's out of contract, could walk for nothing
I was talking about Pogba, read more of a conversation before jumping in mate.
He isn’t out of contract until 2020.
