No, he won't be. I don't think players become cup-tied in the play-off stages.

It depends if we get through or not...

If we play him, and get knocked out, he can play for Madrid in the group stages, however if we play him, and get through, then he goes to Madrid, he can't...

He plays, let in soft goals, we get knocked out, he's off to Madrid not being cup tied... sorted!
 
Real Madrid: Stick around in that team for 1 season. We will give you 12M
Man Utd: Accept that deal and you will rot on bench all season.

Now now.. DDG needs to make up his mind sooon..

He won't rot on the bench, anywhere. A person who has any managerial experience at all knows that you don't prevent your best workers from working.
LVG isn't a fool, to put the best GK in the World, on the bench, while he uses lesser players in this team.
He has stated many times, he will use the players who are performing the best on the pitch (real matches & training games).
At present DDG's mental state is affecting his performance (in training), which is why LVG has benched him until the transfer wrangles are sorted out.

Now, the very real issue is that while Romero continues getting clean sheets, he will continue to play, even if DDG is available, fit and healthy.
What happens if he gets another clean sheet today, and in our next game? It will be very difficult to drop him and this will be the time for DDG to start to worry.

No. He's not cup tied if he plays in the CL playoffs, irrespective of whether we qualify or not.

It's clause 42.07 of:

As a rule, a player may not play in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, but not UEFA Super Cup) for more than one club in the course of the same season. Exceptionally, however, a player who has been fielded in the first, second, third qualifying round or the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League is entitled to play in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League for another club as from the group stage.
 


You have to wonder, with the importance of the match; whether the staff feel that, even at not 100% focused De Gea could be an important security to see us through.

Nah, I can't see van Gaal budging here and rightfully so.
 
I didn't even think about that possibility (offering DDG a huge signing bonus) until I read about it just now. Business is business. I know what I'd do as a pro footballer earning a living. It's win-win for DDG.
 
"I know I'm going to Madrid next season so I'm going to make this season the best I can. Win as many trophies as I can and leave on top."

At least that's what I hope DDG is thinking...

I don't think Van Gaal would play him ahead of Romero until the transfer window is closed.

This has been pointed out dozens of times already, not sure why it hasn't sunk in yet.
 
Hmmm yes it was brought up and i read it and yet you bring it up again.
Oh sorry for discussing a subject brought up on a discussion forum. I have noticed you take issue with every response to what you post. Odd behavior for a discussion board. Guess I'll just give you a little pat on your head and tell you what a good little boy you are and welcome to my ignore list with the rest of the mouthbreathers

Oh dear did I upset you because I replied saying I had already read it...there..there..there.
 
"Interestingly enough, in 2014 when Manchester United presented a renewal offer to De Gea that he would have accepted, Van Gaal stopped it because he wasn't convinced by him as a goalkeeper.

"Funnily enough, he wanted Keylor Navas or somebody like that. He is at Real Madrid now and may be surplus, so who knows?

"Certainly the plan is that Casilla will be the number two and Navas will be sold, but I'm not sure how easy that will be in the last few hours of the transfer market."

By Balague. If that's true we've only got ourselves to blame, or more to the point LvG. I'm quite the critic but even if struggle to believe it, surely not.
 
If LVG did put DDG's contract offer on hold then to be fair to him De Gea had the season of his life last year, he was definitely a level up on his previous seasons and highlighted how good he is.
 
I wouldn't mind Keylor Navas here + 22-25m euros. That would be a very good deal on our part

It would be a huge gamble on our part, in my opinion. Navas is the sort of player who could turn out a grand flop for us.

We will only accept that offer if van Gaal truly wants Navas, so if we accept that I'd be ok with it. It's also entirely possible we just reject an offer like that because we want a different replacement.

Its rubbish. Madrid media were saying it a few days ago as happening in Spring 2014, when van Gaal wasn't even at the club.

Manchester United are considering taking Real Madrid’s strike starlet Borja Mayoral as part of any deal for David de Gea, according to reports from ESPN.

The Red Devils’ stopper has been expected to complete a move back to his homeland all summer, but, as of yet, a breakthrough between the Premier League and La Liga juggernauts has not been reached.

United are reluctant to let their man leave for a cut-price fee regardless of the fact that his contract expires in less than 12 months’ time, and had been insisting on a swap deal involving Sergio Ramos before the centre-back committed to a new deal in Madrid.

However, the deal is not yet dead, and reports claim that the club are considering Mayoral as a makeweight.

The 18-year-old forward is yet to make a competitive outing for Real’s senior side, but scored seven goals in seven games for their Castilla reserve outfit in last season’s UEFA Youth League and finished as the top scorer at the 2015 U-19 European Championship with three efforts to his name in five matches.

The teenager has been likened to Real icon Raul and it considered to be one of Los Blancos’ best young talents.

Although young, he could add depth to United’s striker ranks, with Wayne Rooney short of back-up.


Anyone heard of this lad?

No but don't get your hopes up - his agent is probably just putting the story out to get him a pay rise

Ugh. Another young Spanish player? Excuse me but I'll pass.

His stats say it all. For the U18s: nine goals in 10 games; U19s in the UEFA Youth League: five goals in six appearances; U21s and Reserves: eight goals in 12 matches; and his one first team outing yielded two goals. A total of 24 goals in 29 games is an impressive tally, proving he can consistently find the net in whichever competition he plays in.

Sounds like a young player we should buy? Nah, it's James Wilson.
 
I wouldn't mind Keylor Navas here + 22-25m euros. That would be a very good deal on our part
We want 40 mil euros, id rate Navas at only 5 mil..considering the following:
1.Madrid only bought him last year for 10 mil.
2.Since then he has failed to displace a declining Casillas , and when he has played he has made a couple of mistakes
3. They are actively trying to sell him

So 35 mil and above should be what we are getting..He is not that great as ball playing keeper either, which doesnt fit the philosophy
 
TBH at this moment in time I'd be happy to take Jese Rodriguez, young, gifted and can play on the right wing.
 
The way Van Gaal was defending Woodward on Friday I think the club is going to be even more keen to not look like pushovers and these other clubs are getting one up on us. I think we'll be even more adamant about keeping him unless we get a huge world record offer for a keeper.
 
It'll be farcical if he leaves this window. The prices of top players from other clubs will likely go up in the last week of the window so if we buckle and sell him on the cheap then we'll just be a laughing stock. If he was going to leave then it should have already happened with an adequate replacement brought in.
 
He will improve us alot when he comes back into the team, Romero just worries me.

Glad he's staying, Real Madrid will just have to do without their galactico this season....ah bless.
 
I still feel it's very unlikely he'll still be here come September 2nd

If you want to bless anybody it's MUFC, who have resisted as much as they can, but will probably buckle.

Here's a summary of DDG saga so far:

1. DDG doesn't sign a new contract because he wants to see if we will get into the CL.
2. We enter the CL. DDG still doesn't sign.
3. We realise that DDG has no interest in MUFC - he wants to sign for Madrid.
4. MUFC are prepared to sell, but demand a Galactico in return. They opt for Ramos.
5. Ramos is looking to renew his contract, so says that he has offers from elsewhere, if a good contract is not offered.
6. Ramos does not want to join MUFC and re-signs with Madrid.
7. MUFC then say we want a world record fee for a GK, for DDG.
8. Madrid say, "no", but still need a Galactico and are confident of landing DDG.
9. Price is the only issue here and given our history of selling our players for bargain basement prices (Ronaldo, excepted) and less than 12 months remaining on DDG contract, Madrid don't see the need to pay big money.
10. There are 5 days to go, for a deal to be struck.

Earlier in this thread somebody stated that 2 things will happen this window.
1. Ramos will be a Madrid player.
2. DDG will be a Madrid player.

Lets see what happens.
