Yep, never heard of him.
I was expecting him to go there when it first became clear he was leaving us - it felt like the Tevez situation all over again, right down to the sulking. A little ironic that he'd be succeeding Toure there since I remember a thread in the United forum after (I think) the Kompany-winner derby that asked who we could get to match Toure, and some mentioned that we didn't need anyone since we had Pogba coming through in the ranks
Our best hope is I think if the Spanish two come in for him then he'd go to them, as we all know that no player can resist Real or Barca. Except Aguero obviously... damn
Tevez and Vietto would be a tasty partnership.
Well... shit.
It's an impossible situation for us.
We started negotiations over a new contract for him in early 2013 when he had been here for less than 2 years and had over 3 years left to run. A perfectly reasonable timescale on our part.
So it's dragged on with no signature for 2 years now which begs the question; what is the right thing to do in this situation?
1. Bite the bullet and sell him last season for proper money. Well Real weren't sniffing last season and had just bought Navas so that wasn't a likely option, especially if we are actively looking to sell the price goes down. I'm glad we had him this year and seeing that the word is that he is genuinely unsure it would have been a bit hasty.
2. Sell him for the highest possible price this season. With only a year left on his contract and only Madrid in the running, we really can't expect too much.
3. Make him stay and see out his contract. What sort of player will we see? An uninterested and unmotivated one? If Madrid can't sign him next summer due to their ban we could really ruin his career plans and that doesn't reflect well on any club for incoming players.
So what can you do? My take on the scenario is that Mendes has fecked us over. De Gea has known for a while he's wanted to leave and they are quite happy to run the contract down and negotiate on their own terms.
@Pexbo So I'm not the only one that heard about contract negotiations for a long time?
I wonder how his wages compare...
He's a keeper, a pro and presumably desperate to start for Spain at Euro 2016. He'll try to keep the ball out of the net even if he wears a "feck Woodward" t-shirt under his jersey.
Having money is for employing world class players in their prime.
Not picking on you, but I hate this sort of comparison. Fulham never had a chance at any time to sign Marchisio, Khedira, Pogba or Pirlo and Vidal moved to Leverkusen at 20, so they would have had to have been in for him at 19 or younger.
It's like Real Madrid about to get De Gea for 18 million pounds. Atletico paid about 2/3rds of that for Oblak, but it's disingenuous to compare them. I guarantee they'd have shelled out the extra 6 to buy De Gea back if that was an option.
Sarni > PSG & Holland
Playing internationally means very little and PSG are fecking him off on the cheap because they have 2 better options, he is nowhere near good enough for United and no better than Valencia.
His injury record isn't better than Rafael's.
There's no chance Icardi, one of the best young players in world football, having just signed a new contract to 2019 at Inter, would be willing to go to a club where he will warm the bench.
Omid is back, hope we don't have any more Vidal rumors.
Just fecking imagine if Falcao goes to Liverpool after all of their fans laughed their heads off and made fun of him nonstop all of last season.
And the Chelsea fans didn't?Just fecking imagine if Falcao goes to Liverpool after all of their fans laughed their heads off and made fun of him nonstop all of last season.
Yes, but if we signed him he'd be 2nd or 3rd choice because we already have a world class #9. They'd be signing him as a major player that would get significant playing time.
Yeah, just imagine if he goes to Liverpool and starts banging in goals like he used to.Just fecking imagine if Falcao goes to Liverpool after all of their fans laughed their heads off and made fun of him nonstop all of last season.
£12m a year FFS , that's way way too much money.
When they signed Toure he was more or less a finished article. Are City capable of making Pogba the finished article or are they going to pay that money hoping he is already? They might end up disappointed.
Very good question, have City bought any players and progressed them, in the way we did with Ronaldo ?
Not that I know off. The players they signed were all top players when they went there. In fact any prospects they sign seem to fail miserably.
That has about same chance of happening as Torres did at Chelsea... After they both came from injury they never looked to be the same player. Let Liverpool have him...doubt he'd want to go there tho.
If DDG and Mendes have actually screwed us over having planned the damn thing, wtf would we care if we throw a spanner in his "career plans". It is not like we are chopping away his limbs or selling him away to slavery
We have supposedly offered him a hige contract and the chance to continue playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world. Of RM get a transfer ban and DDG is unable to join them, well bad luck.
As for whether it would affect any new players from joining us, I really really doubt that will happen. We are not willing to get bent over and that is a normal scenario. If players were put off by such small things, Spurs would never be able to sign another player, ever!
Madrid aren't "a club", especially to an Argentine, and he ain't one of the best young players in world football.
Tom Thorpe, so under-appreciated they released him twice.
PSG want to sell him. Holland have a lot of starters who aren't good enough for Man Utd.
