'Real to return for De Gea' - Guillem Balague 11/03/2016

Wonder why we set the release clause so low?
 
If he doesn't want to be here then hope he fecks off. There are plenty GKs that would be honoured to play for us. They might not be as good but I'd rather have someone who wants to be here than have this drama every year.

He wouldn't have signed the contract if the release clause was prohibitive putting his dream move at risk. He could have just waited for a massive signing on fee with us getting nothing.

This way everyone will come out of it with around the same deal agreed last August. Everyone is happy.

One is a byproduct of the other though.

I'm obviously a big fan of DDG, but only because he's at United.

Of course.

But my love to him has grown beyond "only because he's at United". I will still love him when he leaves because I can't fault him for wanting to leave to a CL club but my priority will always be United.

How will everyone come out with the same deal? We was getting Keylor back then, but now they don't have to give us feck all apart from 30m

It was around £16m + Navas if I remember rightly.

It says including Navas in the article. €35m less €15m Navas is worth. Similar to what other reports said.

There are conflicting reports if you watch the video. United said 40m Euors plus Navas, but Real said 35m Euros minus Navas. We all know how Real like to lie about transfer fees don't we.
 
Easily worth 9 points a season to a team as bad as we currently are.

Needs to play for a top, top team. We aren't. Thanks for making things less embarrassing then they could have been....and good luck!
 
I hope he stays, but cannot complain at all if he leaves. In 5 years he spent here, we have been absolute shit on 3 of them. This will be his third best player on our team award and we still won't manage to qualify for Europe.

What's the point of any transfers then? Doesn't Martial needs to play for a top, top team too?

They need to play for United, if not, feck them.
 
Assuming their transfer ban appeal is as expected rejected before the summer he won't be going anywhere this summer

Everyone needs to calm down

I believe it took four months for FIFA to reject the Barca appeal, surely they'll be faster this time. Also, not sure if CAS appeal suspends the ban as well? Hopefully not.

Either way there's no logical reason why we would come out of any deal financially better off than last September unless he actually is/was committed to staying which is highly unlikely.
 
I can see him leaving if we switch managers and coaches again. It would be the 3rd time in 4 years he would be dealing with this, so he may just opt to move on this time. Unless of course he wants to play for Mourinho.

But he wants to go to Madrid. Is there a club in the world who changes their manager more often?
 
I think only 3 scenarios where we might keep DDG:
1. RM's transfer ban is enforced from this summer
2. Jose becomes our manager and Mendes-Mou convince DDG to stay for one more year
3. Perez leaves (is forced to resign/hold election an year earlier like Barca did and he loses the election) and the new president decides to keep Navas as he is perfectly fine

Fan's dilemma : Would we like to see De Gea at a club where he would actually get some rewards for his perfomances in terms of champions league and silverware ?.....

He's going to Real Madrid, not Barca.
 
He will be still at United next season.

a) Mourinho will be in charge at United and will bring belief to the better players that we can again seriously compete for trophies, b) the buy out clause does not exist - why would a player/agent comment on an aspect of someone's contract just because it has been raised by a journalist on the speculation?, c) Balague talks shit and this is simply another example of lazy football journalism, d) De Gea was embarrassed by the amateur behaviour of Madrid last Summer, e) Madrid fans are happy with Navas and they will have more pressing concerns in the Summer.

Could very well be. But let's be honest, we're far from a top club right now and he should play for such a club. If we don't get there, he'll leave

With regards to e), Madrid fans were happy with Özil and Di Maria. Doesn't matter who Real fans like, Perez will end up replacing them with the latest name anyway.
 
Its a weird one. I think he should leave and if real come in he will leave. On the other hand real have a really great keeper and probably need to buy players in other areas more.

If real are sensible they would probably be better served not going after de gea, but i think they want what they want and don't like hearing no. If they buy him it'll be more to make a point as navas is more than good enough for a top team.

Bizarre situation really.
 
I don't doubt that Real Madrid would like him in their team. But they could have bought him last summer. They chose to not make a bid until they were pressured into it on deadline day, and then proceeded to sabotage the deal. I assume they did this because they didn't want to pay the price and instead planned on signing him on a free next summer, which is not happening.

So will Real Madrid be interested in paying €50m for a goalkeeper, especially when they have a very good one already? Or will they spend the money on an exciting attacking player?
 
I always assumed that there would have been some sort of clause in DDG's new contract allow RM to sign him next summer for a certain price.
 
Are there actually people in here saying why did we give him a release clause? You realise he would be gone for free if we didn't sign him to a new deal? Free. 30m is a lot better than free. That's 80% of a martial.

And as far as the actual clause goes, guillem gets everything wrong, so while we know he has a clause i don't think we have any new info over how much it is

How do we actually know there's a clause? I know everybody is assuming so, but has he, his agent or the club confirmed this?

Spain's El Confidencial have claimed Thibaut Courtois isn't entirely happy with his life in London. The angle El Confidencial take is a Real Madrid one, and it's claimed Courtois would be happy to play for the club, despite being a hero at local rivals Atletico Madrid.

The transfer would especially please Florentino Perez, it's claimed, because the Real Madrid president would be able to get one over his fierce rivals at Atletico Madrid. There's no claims of talks or approaches, just that Courtois isn't completely happy and would look kindly on a return to Madrid.
