Pussy is a powerful thing,it makes you act braindead. Once i got kicked from the car in middle of the night in middle of nowhere by a friend(well not so much after that),because some bird promised him that he gonna get some if he turns his car back and pick her and 3 gfsEven it wasnt that funny back then.
So, did he?

He better had some from the 4 ladies.
The awkwardness will pass easily. Just a sheepish smile as he goes back to training, a few jibes from the boys, and it should go back to normal no?
I'm all for holding on to him for another season if Real doesn't stump up a very decent amount of cash. Firstly it gives him another few months to mull over joining a club that weren't willing to offer any more than a token sum to sign him. Secondly he might dump his girlfriend during this season and stay on. Finally it's nice to see Real's grand plans messed up (alienating their goal keeper and their top defender in the process) even before Rafa kicks off his inevitably short-lived managerial career at the Bernabeu.

another tweet to say lvg expects ddg to come back from training. all came from espana
it deems to me that they (on behalf of perez?) tried to fan this to be a direct fight between lvg and ddg...
EDIT: just relax

If he's scared of going back to training then he's a bit of a nancy.
In the real world, you hand in your notice and dliligently work off the remainder of your notice period. Some colleagues in upper management may act more reservedly towards you otherwise no one will really care or personally lament you for it (unless they're a massive cnut). I'd imagine the same to apply to the club.

No sympathy.
Again, if he'd done the decent thing and signed a new contract we would have done the decent thing and negotiated for a reasonable fee, it's his own fault for biting the hand that fed him. We've got a great reputation for treating players as humans, unlike the club he wants to join. I understand people are blaming this on pussy-blindness but I think it's revealed his fundamental character flaws.
Yeah, I agree. He chose that road, if he had discussed with Van Gaal and negotiated an exit that benefit everyone, he would have been sold months ago.
He assumed United would sell him regardless what Madrid bid?, if they have made an offer to United at all that is.
Nope,he got played but he knew there was a chance for that when you start thinking with your dick.
It should be, he agreed to sign the new deal if we got a top 4 finish. He went back on his word.
Ya,looks that way.. Maybe he thought Real wouldn't bid high for a goal keeper,so decided to run down his contract hoping we would sell him for whatever bid we get for him..
I hope we don't sell him to RM for a very low bid,surely him being available on a free next year might tempt even Barca..

A real friend would have done a deal that you got first pick on one of the 3 gfs and a really good friend would have arrange for 2 of em.
That's the thing that made me bitter, if this report is true, he is nothing else than a vagabond.
Good to see the club being tough with him, if we dont get a top fee then we might as well keep him for another season, it hurts him more than it hurts us.
You are right, but I still have trouble to see 20m(at least) go through the window, it's not nothing. Obviously the club can live without it, especially with all the new deals, but I'm way too stingy to ignore them.
For me, its about laying down a marker saying "the club is boss". Players have a limited playing careers, United will be around long after DDG hangs up his gloves.
Spot on with this comment. Not one ounce of pity for him. Though, I'm sure people at United won't be lining up to give him hell - they got other things to think about.
I look at how low both Ronaldo and beckham were sold for, to be shafted for a third time would be taking the piss. Unless DDG is sold for no less than 35 million or more he stays.
Defiantly him screwing the club over by running down his contract has blown in his face, and looks like he jumped off the building and Madrid did not. Yea nice club they are, only guts splattered on the floor are not Madrid's

interesting all round in the fact its showing the club and de gea how much Madrid want him, trying to be cheap about it. if the point mentioned earlier about mendes recommending stay for 2 years would have been ideal for everyone. and Casillas by then would have gone quietly with no noses being put out of joint. pissed on your own chips here davey lad
It's not where I saw it initially but:http://www.squawka.com/news/de-gea-told-to-stay-at-man-utd-by-his-representatives/393568
United wants an unrealistic amount of cash and since Madrid is not willing to pay the idea is that the offer is disrespectful .In the same contract situation Madrid paid 30m€ for Kroos, one of the best midfielders in the world. For being spaniard and to compensate the currency situation £-€ they might pay 35/40. De Gea wanted to renew but with a 30m€ release clause, what United didn't accept,so probably they already had in mind the "Van Gaal is upset/we are not selling" to try to get more money lengthening the situation, the Levy's methods. To keep a player against his will when there is an offer on the table is also unrealistic,maybe not in the mind of the fans but I guess that the club should be interested trying to get the investment back.

It's not disrespectful from Madrid, the only problem here is De Gea himself, the 30m clause that you mentioned kind of show how deluded he might be, I mean, on what kind of planet does he worth 30m when he has more than a years left on his contract?
I think that he didn't want to complicate the things to Madrid and probably he thought that Iker would be already out
And United don't give a damn about that, you see that is the problem, he is seemingly acting for the benefit of Madrid but what about United, the club he is under contract with, the club that he is screwing over?
United would have been fair, if he had acted like a gentleman, United would have asked for a price that reflects his value, probably around Buffon's price before the inflation in transfer fees.
I think DDG is a sheep, the Portuguese snake pulled everything (and miscalculated quite big time).
@carvajal
You can't cite the Kroos transfer as a measurement of fee's, it was always seen as an exceptional price, you also paid £150m for Bale & James. The contract situation is irrelevant really, unless DDG pushes for a transfer, the fee should be higher, or the fee for Ramos should be lower.

A best friend would have given you the car keys and got out himself.
It makes little sense, United are in the middle of a rebuilding, it's better for Mendes to be in good terms with United than Madrid. On top of that, money wise an extension plus a big transfer in a couple of years is more interesting for Mendes than a cheap transfer to Madrid this year.
True, but who knows how much we might be saving in the future by making a statement now. We might just benefit in the long run by teams offering decent amounts rather than taking the risk of losing out on a player.
I don't think it stops with DdG case only, I think the Iberian teams and especially Real Madrid (who every time will maintain looking for transfers) will be the biggest mine for Mendes' list of clients (the Latin and Iberian guys mostly), more than United
I wouldn't be surprised if he refuse to come back for the preseason
Mendes already controls this market, He doesn't need to make a favor to Madrid, despite the fact that he wasn't in good term with Perez not so long ago.
Mendes direct interest is to earn as much as possible and a cheap transfer doesn't help him.
Presumably after LvG gets a note from his girlfriend saying David won't be coming into work today because he's poorly?
okay, I'll take that. then the desire came from DdG himself. Mendes complied with the wish, analyzed the situation and thought it would be easy enough. Miscalculation
According to Castle, Mendes advised the opposite.
It's like English stopped being your first language just for that final sentence.

If DDG is one of the best players in the world in his position, your club will pay for one of the best players in the world. And united do not even need the money, if they do not? they will happy let him go for nothing. Your club payed 85 million for Bale, funny enough Real want 71M for ramos, and you saying united are asking for a unrealistic price, LOL and he has got 2 years on his contract. Unless Madrid pay what united ask, he is staying, and that is the reality, like Benitez says (FACT)
Yea what is united going to do with less than 20 million to replace DDG? exactly
