I assume you mean sign a new 4 year contract?
What else could I mean?
I think we should be pragmatic about this:
-We need our goalkeeper position sorted asap
-We don't really need the money
-We have to make clear to Madrid they can't just lowball us into selling our best players
I'd be telling DDG and Real Madrid he can leave for £30m and not a penny less, that is the price and non negotiable. I'd set a deadline for a move next week (before we jet off to the US). If Real hasn't made a £30m offer by that, DDG will be taken off the market and held to his contractual obligations.
For DDG I'd make a final new offer to renew his contract, giving him the choice to stay at a club that values him or leaving within 1 year to a club that doesn't value him (don't even want to pay £30m for him) and who might not be interested anymore. I'd also tell him he has time until December to take the offer or not. If he hasn't taken the offer by then we should start looking for a good replacement (like Lloris) and try and get to settle a deal to sign him next summer.
That way we either get our money in time and can start negotiations with Lloris (or another keeper) and get the deal done before the crucial matches start in august. Or we don't get our money and go with DDG for another year. Either way we won't be forced in a position where we do pre season preparation without knowing who will be our goalkeeper.

Put this man in charge, move over Ed
His desire for home,family,Edurnity,its all bullshit imo.
No. He can't even spell 'arrow', 'just' or 'better'.
Also... why's your name Angelo Henriquez when you joined in '09? Are you a Universidad de Chile fan too? Must be awkward now.
Not original name, and I was joking about the bloke above, makes me smile when someone puts forward a simple idea as though it were groundbreaking and no one else has had that thought
What did you used to be called? And why did it get changed
Ah fair enough, that was a well written post though.
The fact that he is doing all of this for a 29 year old is. It would be
I had no idea she was that old. It's plain to me that she is the one in control here. She is moderately successful at best, and clinging to a small slice of fame, well past the age bracket of pop sensation or even WAGability. She's seen what hitching her star to a Manchester United player has done to create a celebrity couple for Posh Spice. Dave needs to snap out of this MILF phase, wake the feck up and live like a proper single bachelor goalkeeper. We need some kind of countermagic to break this mojo pussy hex she has cast upon his mind.
You seem pretty passionate about this, move to Manchester and give him the blowjob of a lifetime. Then bend over and spread like a good little boy.
Weird choice of words. And by weird I mean paedo.
I see what you mean. No idea how to phrase hot man on man action. But I'm sure you could give @Americano a couple of suggestions.
I can.
1. Don't refer to sex in a way in which one of the participants appears to be a little boy.
2. Never, ever, ever lose sight of rule 1.
I really hope you weren't one of those who gave Rooney a hard time after he looked out for his well being first, at a cost far less than what De Gea running his contract down and leaving now will end up costing us.
Well said. Some of you can choose to be "objective" and try and see it from the players' point of views but why should I? I support Man Utd. The club is losing out on an excellent goalkeeper for a pittance and I don't give a crap about the reasons De Gea wants back in Madrid. I might as well support individual players if I get worried about things from their point of views.
I've said this a few times, but again, I question what we were thinking when we got him, and starting bigging him up as our keeper for the next 20+ years. He was always going to pull this stunt. Can't say we didn't feck things up on our end.
They wont get any registration ban. Only the fake ban like what Barca got.
Poor lad is just a lost sheep (without sounding religious).. Just have the training.. Feel good and sign a new contract..

Jaybezia and because I was followed by trolls
edit- I'm a thick fecker
Too many tabs open
The Sun saying Perez will waive the 25mil which is due for Di Maria for De Gea. All getting silly now.
This summises it very well.
We have to look after our own interests first and foremost - and that means knowing who are #1 is, for both next season and the long term.
The only part I would disagree with is setting a deadline for the move of next week - in my opinion we have basically already reached the deadline for a move, because as things stand, if De Gea leaves then we are going to struggle to find an instant replacement (except Valdes) in time for our pre season. Madrid and De Gea have both faffed about for a bit too long at this stage, the transfer window may just have opened, but their window of opportunity should be closing fast.
AS has just thrown an extra slice of anti-Perez fuel on the fire. If Casillas and Ramos leave, then the only Spanish players in the first 14 regulars will be Carvajal (who maybe first choice though Danilo was bought this summer) and Isco (who is not a first choice).
When Perez returned as President (and sold all the Dutch players) he did so with a promise to create a more Spanish team. In other words, DdG's transfer fee should include a huge Spanish tax.

Can't find any pics of him rocking up to Carrington. Probably arrived in Juan's car, hiding in the back maybe....

So if casillas is doing a deal with Porto as the current rumourmill is stating, we kind of find ourselves in a 'name our own price' situation. The alternative for Madrid being no casillas and no de gea for a year.
£50 million for the second best goalie in the world if you please mr perez.

Despite the press sometimes coming out with positive stories about him staying I think de Gea will go to RM for a reasonable fee, we may or may not get Ramos in return and he will be replaced by someone else than Cillessen. Valdes may or may not be first choice but there is no way we won't buy a new goalkeeper if David goes.
If RM don't want to pay the record fee he will stay for a year but we sure as hell won't get Ramos if that happens.

Seems to me the best route is for De Gea to sign a new contract with a relatively low clause. Say 40M. Then he gets a year or two at 200k/week instead of 50k/week and doesn't lose out on 7.5M this season, or conceivably next. Everyone wins.
I still prefer DDG staying with us and signing an extension. I don't mind losing out on Ramos. We would be set for the next decade or so with DDG.
This is the best case scenario. Stop bowing down to RM for a few million quid and get Otamendi instead of Ramos.
This latest Casillas news isn't doing much for the 1% of hope I still had that he'll stay
ABC writes that Madrid is not going to offer more than 25m€. If United doesn't accept they'll wait one year.
Good shows how much Madrid value him.
I've come full circle, think he'll be with us next season now.
Oh man, imagine if we had a more successful season than madrid. Not only should madrid struggle without casillas/ramos, they are oretty average except for the fromt 3 and the middle 2. Let him go from a successful team to one where he wins a trophy every 3/4 years. On top of that he would be hated by 2 clubs as opposed to the unloving nature of the madrid public.
