Rojo is left footed you know.Thats probably true. Or he'll partner him with Blind and we'll all have a nervous breakdown.
Actually, thinking about it, from a ball playing point of view, a Ramos/Blind combo is probably a LVG wet dream

Yeah you know, knowing that clueless LVG he will turn Ramos into a striker.
Maybe that's our surprise striker!
Jesus wept.

A few weeks since Daily Star said it was done. Not only that, they put in the title ''Deal Done: Ramos to United'' and in the text it says ''but it's highly unlikely a deal has been done.''
What an absolute joke of a paper

With the recent tweet from Cope regarding Real deciding just to get De Gea for free, I think this one is a dead duck now.
Not necessarily. Ramos' supposed unhappiness with Perez/the club doesn't have to do with De Gea. If Ramos forces a move, Real would have to sell.
If Marca are correct that he wants to stay, you'd assume there'll be movement on another CB soon-ish.
Well this is all rather irritating. But hardly unexpected.
Well that makes it 2 out of 3 for me if true. If ADM is forced to Stay then it is all 3 predictions. DDG stays. Ramos won't leave and ADM won't leave.
If LVG wants creativity why would he let ADM leave unless he has someone to who can provide the creativity.

Meh. I really wanted him but don't see it now, if I ever did anyway.
I'd love Otamendi now but likewise I'm not overly optimistic.

Di Maria is pussying out, we didnt want him to to.
"Di Maria told United boss Louis van Gaal earlier this month that he wanted to leave United just a year after his record breaking £59.7m move from Real Madrid, with PSG eager to sign a player they came close to capturing last summer.
While United insiders have confirmed that they club are frustrated by Di Maria's refusal to persist in trying to make a success of his United career, the Argentine midfielder's eagerness to join PSG means a move has become inevitable in the recent days."

Mainly coming from French media outlets. United are still not obliged to sell. I know the logic of unhappy player, but for a bit part player last year he created some lovely assists, e.g. Liverpool away. If we can be hard nosed for DDG, then I do not see why we can't for ADM.
Personality wise you can trust De Gea, he would give his all if he had to stay another year. Be pretty sure the same wouldn't apply to ADM.
Hopefully we'll see some movement on Otamendi this week, enough of the fannying around with Real now.
Always makes me laugh, every window.
Foreign paper: "Ramos wants to leave for United". Fans: "Foreign papers? What do they know. All a load of rubbish".
Foreign paper: "Ramos close to new deal". Fans: "See, knew he'd stay, now the foreign papers have confirmed it".
They change their mind every day. It sells more papers, and when a resolution comes they can point to one of their old stories and day "look, we told you first". I wont believe Ramos is staying or going until it's confirmed by one of the clubs. I certainly wont suddenly slit my wrists because of what Marca's flavour of the day is.

Sergio Ramos stays, David de Gea joins for zilch next summer. Hard to see where we win at all in this situation.
We have a top class goalkeeper for 1 season where we can try to win or at least come close to winning something. We're not going to have that again for some time after DDG leaves
De Gea wants to leave, there is literally nothing we can do about it. At least we get him to see out his contract and preapre for a season to replace him.
I get that we get to keep him one more season and that he will give his all to try help us be successful but fact is after that season we lose a keeper who in this current market is worth what, £30-40m for absolutely nothing and get nothing in return from that bastard club. It's a win win for Madrid.
Exactly we are going to lose a great player and forced to replace him for a lot of money.
Well if Madrid would pay his worth we wouldn't have him right now. We are not to blame.. What's the point of selling him for £14m? You never know he might do us a deal and sign a new 3 year deal. Then United win.
That would just end up costing him millions of pounds personally - why would he do that?
Well if rumours are true, he will be pocketing 5 mill by the end of next month.
We've only got ourselves to blame, we should never have got ourselves in to a position like this but at the same time if reports are true and David has rejected contracts down the months then chances are he knows exactly what he is doing. The fact we've offered him huge money to stay here and he has turned it down the chances he'll sign a contract just so we get a fee for him are very slim.
This debate is clearly for another thread though, as for Sergio Ramos I'm not really surprised if he stays and signs a new contract, just another "let's mention Man Utd and get a large pay rise".
No I think it's clear he wants to leave and that we would like him here but we've decided that both deals have to be don together so if they don't want to pay for David, Ramos might as well sign a big money deal.
It's a battle you were always going to lose, with Ramos being a lot older and having 2 years left on his contract. We could always just wait a year for DDG, you couldn't do the same with Ramos as he'd be 31 by the time his contract expires.That post is so infuriating.

Well, if not Ramos, we need another top class CB cos we sure as sh*t going to win the league with any combination of Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Blind, Blackett, McNair or Evans at the back!
I know, I already had two meltdowns just for De Gea and convinced myself that Ramos wasn't coming. Losing De Gea on a free, the UN needs to do something about it.
How? Firstly its egg on their face the fact they dont get him this summer. They are trying to move onto a new era with a new goalkeeper and they dont get one. Or they have to get one who wasnt their first choice. When you're a club like Madrid who's whole persona is that if they give you the chance to join, you take it right away or the moments goes, then it looks bad for their image that they arent getting their man and have to wait on another club and player, exactly the opposite of that once in a lifetime nonsense they talk about everytime they go for a high profile player.
Secondly, although it is a small chance, its still a chance that DDG might want to sign a new deal at United this season. Even if he did sign it, it might only be so that the club can get a fair value on him when they sell him next summer but even that would be progress.
Thirdly we have a whole season to find the exact right goalkeeper to replace him next year and get things in place to secure him.
I think the worst thing we can do is sell him right now for barely any money because thats not going to make any difference to us whatsoever. And then rush in a new goalkeeper who we havent been preparing to welcome for a long period. We'd be back where we were not long ago in DDG's first season and it'd be hard to achieve any of our targets this season
I see some posts saying that Madrid will win if he leaves for free and others totally opposite,looking forward that he stays one more year.According to those the club will have time to look for a nice substitute.If that it's the case what did the scouts during all the year?.Do you still think that Navas+money is a bad option?
This Ramos deal doesn't look good...and i'm a bit worried LVG hasn't mentioned the need to bring in another CB. He's only mentioned about a forward with pace.
Just taking your cast off keeper would never be an option for us as its a matter of principle. I'm delighted he's going to be here for another year.
Sooooon he'll sign a new contract and all us smug know it alls will say "WE TOLD YOU SO"
We're not really as desperate for a CB as a lot of people think we are, especially now we have Schneiderlin to cover the back four and properly sorted full backs. Last season we only conceded one more than Arsenal and one less than City, yet scored 10-20 less than both of them. LVG is right to prioritise the attack.
Well with the anticipation of Di Maria going that paves the way for some investment going on a striker/wing forward.
Maybe the defence isn't as bad as most people think but my argument is without De Gea saving us we'd have conceded a heck of a lot more. Going into next season with the mentatility that we'll be "Ok" doesn't feel me with any confidence. If we want to challenge for titles we need something better then Jones or Rojo. Both can be decent cover but we need warrier an leader in the mould of Ramos or Terry to take us up a level.
Navas+money isn't a bad option, but having a world class goal keeper could prove to be more valuable than whatever low fee madrid want to offer.
In the same manner it's not a win win for real madrid at all, a season with de gea isn't like a season without him, football is more important than money, you get him for free yes, but who's to say he isn't the difference between winning and not winning la liga?
Both real and united fans should stop concerning themselves with money, if de gea goes this summer then we're weaker regardless to money, even if we get the money we want, we're still weaker without him, if he goes on a free while winning us a trophy or two it'd be well worth it.
Seems like the only way we'll get him if he does something extreme, speak out about the club and wanting to leave or go AWOL. Looks like Madrid will win this one.
