I think it's our awful preparation for the inevitable that has people pissed off and rightly so.
Spot on. There is some absolute drivel being spouted in this thread.
Can we bring Brad Friedel out of retirement?
Some of the posts on the last two pages are incredible
We also would have got a new goalkeeper lined up. And what do you want from a goalkeeper in his last year? The record fee is £33m and we not getting that. Toni Kroos went for £20m in his last year.
So you think the fans aren't mad with the current scenario?
Read the forums and come back to me if you think everyone is happy with this current situation.
Match day thread will be golden tomorrow. And when we see Herrera not starting. Oooooooooooohh it will be fun.
Romero was in Copa America. Even if we had signed him 5 years ago, he would have still missed the pre-season.
We should have seen this coming and acted more decisively in the market. Would have been better off to go and pay the money for Leno or Lloris or whoever, gambling with the goalkeeper position is too dangerous and could end up costing more than a transfer fee for a good replacement would have.
I wonder what all those people who are not happy with this situation thought few months ago. SOme of them were probably like - no chance we should sell him for peanuts.We also would have got a new goalkeeper lined up. And what do you want from a goalkeeper in his last year?

As for your last sentence fans are mad with all sorts of things, they're just waiting to be mad about sthing. No need for your laughing smiley whatsoever.
The genius plan seems to have worked.
It's Romero time...

Rightly so? If Madrid don't offer a decent amount and De Gea doesn't hand in transfer request or sign extension, what are we supposed to do, stockpile keepers just in case? De Gea gets paid by this club so should be a proffesional about the circumstances, not come olut and say all the speculation is getting to him, speculation he could have put to bed one way or another months ago.

De Gea with longer contract would currently be worth £125m. With one year left he's easily worth £65m.
Or something. Realistically we can get £25m maximum for him and with long contract it might have been £40m. His price has been a bit overestimated over the last few months.

The problem is that the current scenario is exactly what most posters advised, they were all defending the "keep him, he worth more than 30m" position.
When some poster suggested that this might be a bad idea to keep a player that wants out, most claimed that he was a professional with teflon mental.
He clearly has his sights set on Madrid, and that is why he is not focused, it really isn't rocket science.
Well played by Madrid and Mendes BTW, they've tapped him up long ago and knew well that they wouldn't have to go over £25m to sign him, only needed some mind games we're seeing right now.
He'd manage to prevent us scoring while playing for us.
It was sarcasm. People seem to think he's as valuable as Messi.
£40m is his realistic market value, likely, Given his contract status it's £25m.
At the of the day LVG is paid good money to ensure that our club wins football games. He's not going to bench/drop our best goalkeeper unless he feels his head isn't in the right place at the moment.
DDG is acting very unprofessionally and it's completely unacceptable.
Ok and he is dropped cause of it.
The whole situation is terrible management from van Gaal and Woodward. They've been praised numerous times for their strong stance on De Gea's availability but if we end up having him on the bench for a year it won't do us any good.
I want to see the back of him now, but I really really hope we keep him for the last year just to feck with Madrid and Mendes.
I totally agree, I have no problem with his decision.
No. We had a highly capable Valdes waiting on the wings, who LVG rightly or wrongly fell out with, we honestly don't even know the full story. I'd say if he was at least available, people would be a lot more calm.
MELTDOWN!!!! On the Caf today
It's actually quite amusing reading some of these posts.

I dont see it quite like this. Sometimes when your head isnt in the right place it isnt because you are consciously shirking. When something is playing on your mind it is hard to focus. I said it before, its the uncertainty. Its doing all of our heads in, I imagine it is doing his head in even more. He doesnt know where he is going to be living next month. I really believe once this has been cleared up one way or the other, when the window closes, he will be able to get his head down and perform as he did last season.
The club have a contract ready for him and have at no point tried to force him to make a decision. With him unwilling to sign we have to decide what value we put on keeping him for the extra season, clearly at this moment of time Real Madrid aren't willing to put up the value we consider him worth. DDG is a human being and it's obvious that he would be affected by this, so if the manager believes that he is mentally not right then you have to trust his decision and accept it. Why would any replacement be brought in till we are certain about DDG leaving?
What I don't get is why we keep signing Mendes clients and 'maintain great relationship' with him. He's done nothing but fecked us over.
I honestly hope De Gea leaving signals the last we deal with Mendes.
We took Bebe from him as goodwill and the greasy cnut pays us back with this and the Di Maria debacle.
We have the uncertain Romero and the inexperienced Johnstone.
Do people not remember what happened with Foster? His fecking around at the start of the season basically won Chelsea the premier league in 09/10.

He's basically Perez agent first and foremost.
I totally agreed with what you said originally as well mate.
He will still be eligible to play in the group stages for Real Madrid.
The management can do nothing about a player suddenly throwing a strop or saying his isn't focused on the game. He's had all summer to had in a transfer request, sign an extension or say he was staying for a year then leaving, sort this out one way or another, but no, we're still dicking around.
The only issue I see with this whole situation is the lack of a proper replacement for De Gea being available despite knowing of his desire to leave for quite a while now.
Keeping hold of De Gea until Real make a proper offer still seems the right thing to do imo. If Real doesn't come through you at least get another year (or the better part of one) out of one of the best GKs in the world, as I really doubt he'd be willing to spend the entire season benched with the euros coming up.

Or was it a Drogba offside goal at OT and us loosing to Blackburn (I think) before that.
feck me the same drama queens in here as the press conference thread spouting there same bullshit agenda against our manager. This place is getting very tedious.
So all summer on Redcafe it has been feck Madrid keep De Gea if they won't pay up? Now half way through the window it's a massive feck up by management for not seeing this coming and just taking what we were given like the little charity club we are?
Most of the posters were of the opinion De Gea has done nothing wrong here yet he has clearly without having the balls to say it premeditated his way out the club on the cheap/free. Now he obviously wants to sneek out the back door without any fuss, Di Maria according to all is a cnut but De Gea has done nothing wrong? It's laughable.
And now we have it where finally De Gea is showing that if he doesn't get his move he is going to let goals in for us.
Seriously the cnut in all of this is De Gea the only reason people cannot see that is they have been in dreamland all summer that he is the model professional. I didn't see many people suggesting selling him until this has come to the surface but obviously Louis should have got his crystal ball out.

It's ridiculous but what will "Bebe" will "Bebe" ;-)
Yes but that means LvG isn't sure if de Gea will leave this window or stay for another year. I think before the season starts you should know which GK to play and sort it out. If de Gea already knew there isn't a chance for him to leave this year he would be focused and would start the game.
That isn't clever and it isn't the players fault. When you considering to sell de Gea then you bring in a GK who is ready and who is on the same level.
That will destabilize our defence. This can cost us already many points we could need at the end of the season.
