Not sure, you'll have to ask @carvajal this, he's the one living in Spain and following what's going on. I don't think fans are too bothered about this, I know I'm not at least.

I hope De Gea got a contract in the post this morning. Feeling as pissed off as he is at the moment he'd probably sign anything we gave him.
One extra season with DDG is still a better result for the club and losing him for free than getting a relatively small fee and an unproven GK. I for one feel a lot more comfortable with DDG in net even if his heart is in Spain over Romero or taking a gamble that Navas would settle in England.
DDG will earn the club points. which by May will likely be worth a lot more than the £18 million cash we would have in the bank.
Woodward's stance from this has shown he and the club arent willing to be pushed around by the big Spanish clubs or be held to ransom by a player that has legally binding contract to play until 2016.
David is a professional, he won't cut off his nose to spite his face. The club didn't sabotage his transfer, Madrid did by trying to get us to sell on the cheap. I fully expect him inbetween the sticks against Liverpool and to continue his form of the last two seasons. His ultimate goal is to be Spain's number 1 and with the Euros next year he has to give it his all to be going to France as a guaranteed starter.
LvG may be a nutcase in some scenarios but I don't think he'll give DDG an ultimatum. He knows that is not going to help. Playing the player and showing he has faith in him will be more likely to yield the club better results.
especially if it is even larger than the most recent contract he rejected. I would make him feel even more loved now and increase our offer to him.
We could be really cruel and stick him the rested for the rest of the year, but that wouldn't do us any favours in terms of results or dressing room chemistry.
Hopefully after all this he will realise the grass isn't always greener, and might just stick around a bit longer.
No doubt he will be off next summer though I bet.

He's not getting enough hugs I think. No juander he wants to leave.
He can kiss my bollocks for all I care.
Why didn't Real allow Navas to fly to Manchester for a medical?
Anyone else get the impression David is a bit thick?
Yes, a bit. I mean, I don't think he's stupid, but from this whole thing and every interview I've seen with him in United, he doesn't seem like a guy who has a lot of interesting stuff on his mind, to put it that way.
If we wanted to be jerks we could get him to sign a new contract.
Its not just the euros, how enthusiastic are real going to be about giving him a big signing on fee and a hefty wage if hes been sat in the stands for a year?
Dont think we will, it'd be a pretty classless and counter productive move.

Nah , he just has a crap agent.
this. Initially i had the impression he was the quiet tactician plotting to get exactly what he wanted out of this situation. Now i feel like hes actually daft and left everything to mendez and now feels like the donkey of the day
Imagine the scenes if he signs a new contract.
Woodward will, deservedly, be called a genius.

I'd love to know which moron at Madrid made the error and I'd love to know what happened to him afterwards.
I imagine most footballers aren't that bright.
Got a quick question. If there is like a hour left and we wan't to sign someone who plays in Germany, how do we get him. No way will he come within 1 hour.
You do know the player doesn't actually have to be in the country to sign a contract? We have this thing called the internet now where you can supposedly transfer documents instantly.
My mate works as a hairdresser in Manchester...LvG came into him and said he was after a Brazilian....
Read what you want into that
Steady
That's what he said
Or Edurne, who's been badgering Mendes to make the move happen all along while Dave just doesn't give a feck and was following along.
It has already been said that he refused to follow his agent advice.
Don't worry, it's solved. I just didn't think very well before asking.
How often do you come up with these stories? I swear i see you every week post some ITK stuff.
They did it in Madrid, not enough time left
Not really surprising he is the best in the world
Is valdes doing an adeybayor
Clearly you don't, because once a legally binding contract is up, you are free to do whatever you want.
DDG hasn't made the decision he wouldn't play (as far as we know). LVG decided he wasn't up to it.
What sense of entitlement has he shown might I ask?
I reckon it's best for de gea (and us) to forget everything happened in this saga and play on as if nothing happened.
look at schneiderlin for example last season, reportedly unhappy after saints refusing to let him go and left this tweet "six years at saints ruined in one hour" or something? later he played on and took large part in saints' success last season.

I'm willing to forget anything ever happened... especially willing to forget after watching Romero in the Swansea-game!
Come on David, sign a new contract and become the player of the season once more!
