Why would it? Because he dived but just didn't quite reach it? That ball he might usually catch might just be dropped by accident. Many ways he could cost us if he really wanted. It's just a bad idea.
If they can prove that he deliberately let the ball in the net he could be done. I remember they tried to do Grobbelaar back in the day.
I do. Until he actually says something about his intentions, I'm sticking with my vote.
If such a case were to happen where we ask him to stay for the last year of his contract, the least you could expect from him is a bit of professionalism. I don't quite think he is the prima donna type who will throw a hissy fit if he doesn't get his move and he will in all likelihood, respect the club's decision. It's not like he hates the club or is unsettled or anything of that sort, at this stage he just prefers Real (by the looks of it). At this point in his career, he can't afford to spend a year sulking on the bench, especially with Casillas more or less being #1 for Spain despite not exactly playing much for Real. You can bet your ass that Del Bosque will stick with him for Euro 2016 if De Gea spends a year on the bench. The last thing he wants is to affect his own development by not playing for a year as well, he is still just 24 mind - nowhere near a peak for a goalie in general.
I'd rather we let him leave too on amicable terms but if it were to come to that, I think he will be more of a Lewandowski, than a sulky presence rotting in the stands.
Gone quiet for a few days, the media must have got bored for the time being or maybe they are readying themselves for a weekend frenzy of bullshit.
The Mirror are saying Madrid may announce his transfer Friday....but it's the Mirror. 
The BBC say de Gea is 'certain' to join Madrid, but there are no quotes.
The Telegraph reckon we won't sell him cheap and will politely tell them to feck off if they really do offer £13,000,000.
...so really, there's no news.

I voted yes, and I'm sticking with it and hoping that all of this is media bluster and that it will all become a non-story with big Dave staying with us for at least one more year. Incidentally if he does stay, I pray to god that we meet Real Madrid in the UCL and thump them at the Bernabeu - if anything so that DDG can see the kind of hostility the Real stars get from portions of their own fans when things aren't going well.
Xabi Alonso joined Real even though Liverpool pistol whipped them in the CL the previous season.
Navas apparently injured at Copa America and looks likey to miss start of the season, so that will mean Real are even more desperate. + £5m on the price Woody 
That's not the BBC. It's in the gossip section. The story is from the MEN.The Mirror are saying Madrid may announce his transfer Friday....but it's the Mirror.

So no new reliable news in a while now. If this is as straight forward as the papers have been making it seem, why isn't it remotely close to being done yet?
Says who? For all we know, United could have asked Real and DDG to keep quiet about a deal until we have a replacement sorted out. We literally have no idea how close the deal is to being done.
I'm just worried about the state of our defence when he goes. He's saved us so often this year.
Now they says he won't go there if Casillas stays.
The longer it drags on the more hopeful I'll be.
Casillas certainly doesn't look like he'll be leaving despite all the pro-Madrid press trying to wish him out the door. And if Madrid have really just come in with one pathetically low bid that's hardly going to send the right sort of message to De Gea.

Let me be the first to tell you how this ends... a white shirt with a 1 and De Gea on the back.
Im starting to dislike this guy. This whole situation stinks, I mean what top team loses their first choice goalkeeper before they hit their prime? Teams usually dump goalkeepers, not the other way round. De Gea has used us as a stepping fecking stone. I can't think of when this has happened in recent history.
C Ronaldo
He could've made a decent keeper eh
I was talking about goalies specifically my friend
Him wearing 13 on the back of his shirt should have been a big clue
That is because FSW tried to get Alonso outta the door for Gareth fkng Barry the previous season. He should have tried to join us to rub it in.
I think it's easy to feel like he's shafting us the longer this goes on. The sooner this gets done, the better it'll be for all concerned. He's been silent about the whole thing, which can be said to be respectful, but only up to a certain point. The longer he stays silent, the more it feels like he's just keeping us as an option in case Casillas is still number one at Real.
Some of us said that he would be using us as a stepping stone when he signed. No surprise there.
The club has probably instructed him to stay quiet. I'm sure things are happening between him and the club behind the scenes.
What you have to look at is that RVP, ADM and AJ have all came out and said they want to stay at the club. DDG has said nothing.
Our away kit? I admire the confidence, good man.
De Gea would have, in my view, far too much personal and professional pride to play badly because he was peeved about not getting a move. The guy has always given his best for the club. And at the moment is contracted to his existing employer for a further year. So he doesn't have to say anything to the media until there's something to say and he's not being disrespectful to United by keeping his own counsel. Like anyone else he's entitled to weigh up his career options and at the moment, he's in the same position as Evans, Rafael and Jones who all have a year to run on their existing contracts. Just that De Gea is a player everyone would want to keep! I really hope he stays, however, losing him to Madrid or Barcelona was always my fear when his quality started to flourish.
Real's goalkeeper kit is black, unless they're planning on playing him outfield?
I felt the same way before we even signed him, like what happens when he becomes the best Spanish GK. I wasn't even sold on him but he was considered a top young talent. Maybe its his laid back personality, I just never felt like he ever 'fell in love' with United. With Lindegaard for instance you feel he always knew what playing for United meant. If De Gea was the same I don't think he'd want to leave. Its what it is
I wonder if Man Utd are insisting that they have a replacement in place before letting him go? Would be the sensible thing to do.
Could be the case, but there have been no serious links with any top quality GK.
It's all gone a bit quiet
I am pretty certain the delay is due to Casillas. I can't see de gea moving unless Casillas leaves. The guy is too influential there, couple of bad games and the media + his backers in the club would want him back in the 11.
The reliable Daily Mail has "reported" that he has told the squad that he intends to join Real this summer.
If this is true then I'm starting to get worried. Ive had this feeling we are getting rejected/ cant sign our primery targerts.
I wouldnt read too much into this. I cant see why we would ever go for Ramos
Why would go for Ramos? One of 4 reasons.
1-the story is BS 2- we accepted long ago DDG was going and we wanted a player in exchange. Order of prefernce? Maybe Benzema, Bale, Varane. We we told to feck off as.none off the players was for sale. 3- we had our targets for CB indentified but their clubs, agents told us the move wasnt possible. So we had to look elswhere thus intrest in Ramos. 4 we just want to bully Madrid.
