So what is the bid/asking Price atm?

On the one Hand I do not want RM to be successful with their tactics. On the other Hand I would rather take what we can this year and spend the Money on a new keeper or another Player.

We don't need to money to splash out on other players though.
Madrid can sod off, keep him and let his contract run down just for the principle. The whole situation has been a joke, Madrid with their arrogance and De Gea has gone down massively in my estimation.
If he had any sort of allegiance to this club he would've signed a contract so we could've got a decent fee from Madrid.
He's just another mercenary.

People keep saying this.

But if his intention was and is to move to RM why should he sign a new contract with us so that he gets lower wages from RM?

You are even contradicting yourselve in your opening line where you say "We don't need the money".

So De Gea signs a new contract we get £20m extra for him that we don't need and he gets £20m lower wages. Granted he doesn't need that extra money, but £20m is a far more significant sum to De Gea than it is United.
 
I'd be fine with selling him for 40m Euros or more that would be an incredible achievement since hes a goalkeeper and is in the last year of his contract. What would be crazy if we spend a similar amount on Cillisen.
 
I wonder how much of a say LvG has in this. I know he's been saying that he's not part of the process and is just observing etc, but can that be? If we strip away the economics we end up with something like this:

One one side, he knows he has to at least challenge for the title this season. It goes without saying that he doesn't want to weaken his team by selling his best player in the last weeks before starting a season that could very well define his time in English football. Given that he continually talks about players needing time, it's safe to say that even if he has a replacement lined up, he'd rather have one more season with De Gea. He obviously trusts in De Geas professionalism and feels safe that he will deliver if he stays.

On the other side he doesn't seem like a manager that keeps players against their will. He wants players to go all in for him, and there is no middle ground. But he's only been talking positively about de Gea in the media lately. This is interesting, because we know he's not afraid to slag of players publicly if they're not with him (Valdes). He's been talking about the importance of being a decent human being blabla, and his comments about this "not being easy for David" can only mean that he has a pretty good relationship with him. We are not seeing a manager who is unhappy with his players priorities, but rather a manager who respects his player and understands that it's a difficult situation. So maybe he's also seeing a young man faced with a difficult situation and wants to help him go back to Madrid. LvG has often mentioned his family and the importance of it, so surely he doesn't blame De Gea for feeling the same way.
 
There was a point in time where if Madrid had made a proper bid of say around 20+ or 30mil, we should probably just take it. That point has past now. Any club we approach now to sign their no.1 keeper will fleece us, and rightfully so. We're not going to get much change out of this musical chairs game.

But I have a feeling all parties involved are coming round to that idea of him staying with us this season, including De Gea. I'll see that as a good outcome, and he should get our full support as long as he plays his best for us. If we stay the course, the one coming out red-faced from this is the agent.

Spot on!
 
 
Still expect him to leave in the final week of the window. Madrid's "final offer" clearly wasn't sufficient so now they'll wait it out till the last week and then panic then offer us around what we want.
 
So it's Romero for the next 5 matches until Liverpool?

What wouldn't I give for DDG to walk out with the team before the Villa match, with a contract and a pen in hand, sign up for 5 years and play the match.:(
 
He'll sign the contract by Christmas. It's too much of a financial risk for a player to not have years left on his contract. If he was unlucky and fecked up an elbow, shoulder or knee to the head he'd have no remaining contract to fall back on.


He'll sign a 4 year deal with a similar gentleman's agreement that Ronaldo have that he will get his move and the club will be compensated accordingly.
 
If DDG signed a new contract, I'd settle for that being the end of our transfer business tbh. (Thoug obviously in an ideal world we'd still get some attacking reinforcements).
 
It will be interesting to see if he plays in the qualifying games. I suspect he won't but there has to be a cut off point where we'd reject even a keeper world record bid as we'd be out of time to find someone else.

I think the fans chanting his name on Saturday made him less reluctant to stay.
 
In the meantime some girl should seduce him,someone should film it, show to his girlfriend and he pens a new deal a day after. Everybody happy, well except Madrid and his girlfriend of curse.
 
I expect him to stay now unless we sign a keeper in the next week or so. It's getting late in the transfer window and very few teams will sell their keepers at this stage. Madrid will not offer a world record fee and it looks like Ramos will sign a new contract. De Gea will probably play again once the transfer window closes.
 
When it was made known he actually wanted to play, then as far as I'm concerned he'll be alright this season. LvG should of made that clear in the pre match presser. It would of caused far less grief knowing this and thinking otherwise.
 
I think we will sell him for a good price and sign Navas from Madrid. Considering his contract situation I think it's a win win situation for both clubs. I can't see De Gea staying for one more year (or January) without signing a new contract.

Alternatively he knows De Gea's character and played the situation out perfectly. He called him out in public saying his head wasn't in the right place and De Gea being a proud and headstrong player responded positively to this and said "I'll prove to you that this isn't right and I have the mentality to play in this situation".

He could of done all that and still made it aware to the fans he wanted to play in that presser. His head would of still been seen in public as not right enough to play.

He can sign a deal with Real in January, so he won't be risking anything on that score I don't think. Also he was zero interest in United being compensated, otherwise he wouldn't have run his contract down in the first place. I imagine a move on a free next summer would be his preference if he can't get out this summer.

As nice as it sounds, I can't see that happening tbh.

If he really wants to go to Madrid (which I assume he does) he will just run down his contract, and refuse to play if necessary.

The Ronaldo/ Suarez deals both came when there was more than 1yr on his contract I believe? Time will tell.
 
Doesn't really make sense. The only reason to keep him should be if we are looking to play him. Might as well take whatever Real are giving us if that's not the case. I'm all for standing up to Real or whatever but keeping on only only to put him on the bench is rather stupid.

Well that's obviously not the case is it. If he stays then of course he plays, I've no idea why you'd think otherwise.

Because Van Gaal dropped him and won't even consider him until after the window shuts? If he's not mentally ready now what's to say he'll be ready later on after we cruelly deny him his dream move to Real.
 
I'll tell you one thing, whihc may not be a biggie in the grand scheme of things, but could play its part...

It's generally thought that a part (though by no means all) of the desire to go to Madrid is to ensure he is in the picture for the national team. A lot of Spaniards playing abroad ahve tended to be out of sight and out of mind.

Well, even if he stays, this whole saga, with Madrid so publically being desparate to sign him, has certainly ensure that one thing he won't be is out of Del Bosque's thoughts. Any Spaniard who had previously not followed what DDG has been up to in England sure knows all about him now, and will be of the opinion that he's one of hte best in the world.

If this results in him nailing down the no1 spot for the national team, then maybe, just maybe, that's one element of his urgency to leave out of the picture.
 
He will eventually knuckle down and get back to his best if he's "forced" to be here.

He also has the European championship to think about. I'd say he must be harboring hopes of ousting Casillas for Spain.

Nah, there's a big difference between dropping him while his future is uncertain and he doesn't know if he will be coughing for a Spanish doctor the next day, and expecting him to play once (and if) September comes around.

Not to say I particularly agree with dropping him for now, but there's no way we put so much into keeping him for (probably) just a year, miss out on £20m and then don't use him.

It's not actually us denying him anything, RM are being tight and don't want to pay for him. If RM really wanted this wrapped up they would have paid the fecking £33m we asked for.
