This. The revisionism is absurd. Other than a couple shaky moments in his first season (which most of us already expected as he adjusted to the league), he was largely excellent.

Madrid rumoured to have agreed a deal for Kiko Casilla. Backup I assume.
How does the penis graph look now? I'm sticking with my yes vote.
Less I remember wrongly, "I stay"? You wish he'd come out and say it how it is, but perhaps there's a lot less fuss going on in the background than what people are trying to speculate on. For one, the media courting machine from Madrid this time round is nothing compared to what we went through with Ronaldo. Remember Cristiano this, Cristiano that? I suspect DDG still isn't decided on leaving or staying and all there is going on are negotiation talks for both transfer and a new contract. Rest of the drama are media speculation as usual.
As things stand, DDG has yet to say anything publicly that would compromise United's position on transfer negotiations. Neither has he made a fuss about returning for training or tour like the papers wanted us to believe. There's just much more smoke from the media than the fire there really is in the situation.
very well-paced banner, hiding any possible visual encounter. wonder if this was deliberately set up
"El Confidencial" published a while ago an article about de Gea.
They say that the deal is closed , 6 seasons and 5million euros after tax for him. According to the article, the contract specifies that will not join Madrid while Iker continue on the team. They write that the agreement between clubs was closed weeks ago at a law firm in London where Mendes usually ends all agreements. Manchester United would receive 40 million euros. They also discuss the possible replacement .United studied the possibility of Lloris , however Tottenham has no intention to sell so Van Gaal think of Valdes and Muslera , Galatasaray goalkeeper.

too detailed to be bullshit it seems?
I don´t know what to believe, everyone says something different. In one you can read that without Ramos no de Gea , and in another that the deal is closed . A newspaper writes that Van Gaal said no and according to another he is already looking for substitutes . I guess we'll have to wait until is resolved to see who is more reliable.
seems like your latest link used the tactic "coming up with the wildest and most unexpected piece of info to sound credible"
Lots of people picking up on the El Confidencial storey. He must have really wanted to play for Madrid, weird taking £67,000 pw when we were offering up tp £200,000. €40m sounds good though!
In fact he was offered £60k around less by Madrid as they speak in net terms.
Still a lot less than we offered either way and as I said us getting €40m would be about the £30m we wanted too so not bad news … if it's true
Casilias seems to be off to Porto, Madrid sure are confident. Hopefully Ed doesn't give in unless it's a world record gk fee.
The sooner he's gone the better, he no longer wants to play for United so that's that.
But let's hope Woody has the sense to line up a replacement before its done and dusted.

The more I see Liverpool and Sterling silliness, the more I appreciate the way David has handled this. I mean yeah signing a new contract would have been nice, especially with a large release clause, but not the worse thing.
Are Madrid currently in the market for any other GKs?
Exactly, at least De Gea has handled it with a bit of decorum. He will be welcomed back to OT at any future meetings between the 2 teams. Can't see Sterling getting any applause from the Kop any time soon. @JustAFan
No news as far as i`ve seen... If Casillas moves then De Gea deal was agreed. They wouldn't let him go otherwise.
I dont see Casillas going to Porto (yes I'm well aware that talks are already ongoing), but stranger things have happened.
Real Madrid will cough up 30 million quid and get DDG it seems. Do not think that we will have a keeper of similar quality, however, at least we will get the amount that we want. Hopefully, Valdes will surprise us.
How reliable are Marca in Spain? They're saying RM and Porto have reached agreement re Casillas. DDG will be off now if he's going...

That's it, he's off to Basel.
There will be a farewell ceremony for Iker on friday at Bernabeu.You will find more information in the tweets thread if you read some pages
Dave's as good as gone, it seems.
I think so, now the question is how much will be the final amount.
1 Ramos please, you can keep the change.
I am waiting to see that amazing offer that United is willing to do...It will be interesting to see what happens on friday in the farewell ceremony. Probably Bernabeu will be packed with fans but no Madrid associates. Sergio, Iker, Florentino...I wonder how will be the reaction of the public with Sergio and the president
Herrera was there after all!
Got to say I'm pleased to see Juan Ander and the sneaky one
- with the great Federer.Hope Roger tried to lure DeGea to play for his team Basle
Article on the inside pages of Marca. It says more or less this: "A name has been incorporated into the negotiation of Madrid and Manchester by De Gea : Keylor Navas , who is liked by Van Gaal considering him a good replacement to fill the gap left by De Gea . The name of Keylor accelerates the negotiations that remain dependent on Sergio Ramos. United have not changed its mind and there will not be progress if Madrid doesn´t accept talks for the CB. United knows that losing the goalkeeper card/trick, will be almost impossible to link the two operations ,but Madrid has another thought and is working against the clock to close the signing trusting that the last offer made it will be well received in Manchester. Madrid even dreams of introducing the goalkeeper on Saturday ( ... ) Manchester has always been clear that the goalkeeper would not leave for less than 40 million ( € ) but the deal could be closed in an amount to be around 30 , or 35 including objectives"

Keylor fecking injured fecking Costarican fecking Navas? They don't have something shittier to offer us?
I've heard Kiko Casilla. But I think he might just be the Navas replacement.
, don´t your like Navas? I think that is a very agile goalkeeper, with great reflexes. He did a very good World CupNo harm to the Spanish press, but they have been abysmal during this saga.
No 40m euros is not enough, no we don't want Navas.
It's 35m pounds and to open negotiations for Ramos or theyll have to wait a year for De Gea. That's been made as clear as day.
How they think Navas, a player who will leave if De Gea joins Madrid anyway, is key is beyond me.

can't really understand this?
Navas? No thanks.
Great shot stopper, but he's not going to change his game at his age to adapt to the premier league.
