We shouldn't accept any offers for DDG. It's ridiculous that we are even considering selling him and it is 'ok' since he wants to go back home. Are we running some a boarding school for men.
Catch 22, get a fee now or keep an unhappy player & he leaves in 12 months for free.
Club are at fault for not renewing his contract 12 months ago, player of the season allowed to get into last year of contract a major feck up.
£18.5m for De Gea... ahahaha if that happens Woodward deserves the sack.
The club might have been trying to get him to sign for a while though. Hard to blame the club if the player refuses to sign.
I don't think Roma will have a complete say in Nainggolan. He is part owned by Cagliari. So if Roma don't cough up the remaining amount he could well be sold.Roma will sell (or already have) Gervinho to fund keeping Radja and Astori at the club so I dont believe that story about Radja.
I don't think de Gea would be unhappy, he knows Madrid would wait a year to sign him. He's only 24 years old.Catch 22, get a fee now or keep an unhappy player & he leaves in 12 months for free.

It's far too young to be selling any player, slavery is alive and well.I don't think de Gea would be unhappy, he knows Madrid would wait a year to sign him. He's only 2 years old.
I think he'd stay around and it wouldn't surprise me to see him be our best player once again.
However, I think from a business point of view we have to sell him, but from a footballing point of view; i.e how we look to the footballing world, we should tell Madrid to feck off.
Yeah but as I said that's why they're selling Gervinho.I don't think Roma will have a complete say in Nainggolan. He is part owned by Cagliari. So if Roma don't cough up the remaining amount he could well be sold.
We actually paid around £19.7m for him, so technically we've made a loss on him.High comedy if true. Isn't that what we bought him for.

Same here, if we can't get one of their decent players included then tell them to get lost. His girlfriend will have to wait for his affection for another season.If that is true then it would prove we are awful at negotiating, if I was Woody I would simply tell Real to fck off!

If there's one rag to beleive then its Marca, everything they print is fact.
Tbh I think we were pushing our luck asking for one of those three as part of a deal for a young goalie who they could get for nothing next year. I would have asked for a Carvajal, Isco, Benzema option. I think David is nuts wanting to go there, yes it could catapult him into legendary status, but it could also destroy his career. A couple of mistakes and those fans will be all over him and his Atletico past. Also he isn't exactly going to be popular with the Atletico fans either.Heard a report, not sure of its authenticity, that Woody has asked for one of Bale, Varane or Ronaldo and we were told to feck off although there is a slight chance they may sell Benzema to us for an extortionate price.
No, you've got it completely backward man, you can't trust those Devils! Did they tell you to fill your pockets with stones and jump off London Bridge? They got me with that one, don't do it!If there's one rag to beleive then its Marca, everything they print is fact.
People talking gibberish on here. Madrid have us by the balls despite what the UK tabloids are saying. I would imagine Woody is desperate to get some dosh for him now instead of losing him on a free in a year despite trying to make out in the papers that we hold all the aces. Getting 25 million Euro plus add-ons for a player who never ever had any intention of signing a contract extension here and who is desperate to sign for Madrid despite the tabloids telling us that he is torn between what to do and who only has a year left on his contract is good business..Goalkeepers are not like outfield superstars - they can be replaced a lot easierIf that is true then it would prove we are awful at negotiating, if I was Woody I would simply tell Real to fck off!

Ok. Madrid daren't sell Ronaldo, he is still the star of that side, Bale is Perez's little project, Varane, once he gets experience and cuts out the mistakes is Reals CB for years. Problem is I would like Benzema, but he is also a Perez favourite and would have to be dragged out of Madrid kicking and screaming.From what I understand Marca didn't say that Woodward asked for one of those player in exchange of De Gea, he is just trying to buy one of them in an other transaction.
Spanish newspaper AS seem to have gone way overboard with their rumours on Tuesday. Either that or Edward Woodward is having the time of his transfer life winding Real Madrid up. Manchester United supporters have been angered by Real Madrid's perceived prolonged attempts to sign their goalkeeper David De Gea and the feeling has been that Madrid try to bully clubs and Manchester United shouldn't put up with it. Sure, it's understandable if De Gea wants to return to his home city and girlfriend, but supporters wanted their pound of flesh from Madrid should De Gea leave and not to be pushed about.
Well, if AS are right then Woodward is doing his best to cause a stir. The Spanish newspaper reported on Tuesday that Manchester United in recent weeks have made contact with Real Madrid at various times to ask about signing all of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Raphael Varane. At Sport Witness we have a genuine wish that Woodward is simply on the wind-up and will perhaps call Real Madrid tomorrow and ask for Sergio Ramos, then try for Luka Modric and James Rodriguez the next day and keep doing the same until Madrid either come up with a good offer for De Gea or forget about the transfer. Then we want a fly on the wall documentary of the whole thing televised.
In reality there probably isn't much reality in the claims, that hunch is just because it's so outlandish. AS say that Manchester United haven't had positive responses to any of their requests and are simply 'fishing' (which encourages our idea of Woodward simply having a laugh) but rather than catching any fish, the newspaper says they're just hitting water.
I dont think we have a great bargaining position though. DDG has 1 year left on his contract and if he is leaving it is only to Madrid so we can't even drum up a rival bidder because Real know DDG will just play out his remaining year and join for free then.If that is true then it would prove we are awful at negotiating, if I was Woody I would simply tell Real to fck off!
“I know about everything that could happen. I would just like it all to be done with as soon as possible. With Vadim and Luis, it was quite clear: Bernardo Silva and Martial will stay, as will Dirar, Subasic, Raggi, Elderson and Toulalan. All the others could leave for financial reasons. When a player leaves, we will buy another, that is why scouting is fundamental in our strategy.”
Really? Damn they've got me, I just thought Marca had access to Prof. Xavier's Cerebro...No, you've got it completely backward man, you can't trust those Devils! Did they tell you to fill your pockets with stones and jump off London Bridge? They got me with that one, don't do it!
