If it was any other club other than Real MAdrid would people still be calling for us to keep him a year and let him leave for nothing?
Sad fecker!Speaking of VDS, he came through the academy at Ajax and then established himself as a winner for them. When he left for Juventus (arguably a massive team back in the days), then things started to not go as planned for him. He only won 2 Intertoto Cups before joining United and then start winning lots of silverware again as a crucial element to the team.
With the current situation (Barcelona dominance, FSW being the coach who can destroy RM, etc.), I would be surprised if Madrid get near any trophy soon.
I'm all for keeping him and forfeiting the fee, we aren't exactly going to get the full fee anyways. Maybe after great progress next season he might not be that keen on leaving anymore.
They didn't park their cars next to eachother, he is staying
Geez not even a greeting?
What's that?
If he is not going to sign, and we realistically aim to win the league 2017, I'd like to have a new keeper already for this upcoming season.
To be honest, I'd rather just sell him this Summer if he wants to leave. If he stays here, his heart (and mind/focus) will be in Madrid for his final season with us. Sure, it's annoying and upsetting that he probably will leave, but let's be realistic, he's not the only top quality keeper out there.
If it was me personally, I'd happily pay slightly over for Lloris (though Levy doesn't do "slightly"), or pay a less astronomical fee on a younger talent like Leno (having Valdes as a mentor surely couldn't be a hindrance).
Either way, if he comes out and says he's staying, great. If he leaves, it's not the end of the world.

I'd keep him. A year is a long time in football and we need stability this season to be able to keep making progress. If we lose him for free the following Summer then so be it, shit happens, we're a club that can afford to take a hit on a transfer like that.
Yes. Whatever we get for him isn't gonna be enough to make it worth selling him. The only problem with keeping him is whether his head is turned. If he will play to his potential then he is worth keeping.
If he declares his desire to leave we should let him go this summer. Paying more for Lloris than we will get for DdG hurts but we should go for it. Looking at the past season we will need a very good GK to have even small chances to win titles.
I can understand the desire to go back to your home country. Some of my colleagues have their family in another country but work here because of better salary/better career chances. However, as soon as they get the chance to return into an equal job they go back.
If we sort out our defence and further improve our midfield we won't need a keeper of his potential. If he wants to go, let him go. We'll move on and should be fine.
Probably end up like Ronaldo, stay for one more season and then leave.
There is a very big difference between him saying I want to leave United, and saying I am not going to sign a new contract as I have ambitions of playing for Real Madrid. He is not exactly trying to force a move to Real Madrid, though his agent maybe.
I am very confident that if DDG is not sold, he will be a star player for United next year. If he goes, I expect him to ease his way into the Real Madrid team, maybe not playing as much as he wants, but the year after he will be No. 1 there.
Well he is not publically trying to force a move, no idea what he may or may not have told the club.
Cue @GlastonSpur reassuring you that he will not be sold. Ever. In fact, Spurs will go bankrupt and cease to exist before they ever sell Lloris and Bale.
If they were only offering a pitiful £15-25m, yes.
I was gonna say let's not read so much into it but that video

Does De Gea really want to go through a season of this stuff? Iker has seen off so many threats to his position over the past few years. Does David really think he will be different?
Casillas won't be there come the start of the new season.
That's been said for the last three seasons running. Let's see...
Considering Iker basically runs the Real Madrid dressing room De Gea will be in for one hell of a miserable season if he goes and Casillas remains.
Tired of this saga completely and at this point I really won't care when he leaves, changed my vote to no as well.
He can't be that bad, what ground would he have? They feed the bigger clubs players, like us and we tend to give them a good deal for our rejects, like Carrick and CampbellHe's not getting any younger,there's a new Sheriff in town.
Think that was a real Madrid shirt that he just walked past when signing autographs - hopefully a good sign.
Clinging on to any hope!

Rumours this morning of 18 million quid.....
18 million pounds....
Surely this is a wind up by someone?! If it's not, then it's a lesson Woodward and the rest need to learn. Don't leave your best players with just one year left to run on their contract!

meh,
Get the midfield and backline sorted and it wouldn't really matter if De Gea is here or not. We have more pressing matters to take care of than worrying about a goal keeper. Valdes is good enough for a season.

Just go already, Im so bored of this by now.
We started trying to negotiate an extension last summer when 2 years were left. At least according to some reports last summer. So since you can not legally force someone to sign a contract, what else could we do?
If we hadn't had the Moyes debacle, I reckon he would have signed two years ago. As it is, Moyes came and ruined not only the present, but our future too. Who can blame De Gea for not signing at that time? I certainly don't.
Thats what I think, too.
I also think that Evra (as well as Vidic) also left due to Moyes.
But in any case, its all water under the bridge - no use looking back, we need to look forward.
I generally welcome most opportunities to attack Moyes' time with us (it was a fecking disaster from start to finish), but I get the feeling this has been on DDG's mind for a while - his girlfriend hasn't just suddenly decided not to move to Manchester, nor will it be a surprise that she's now 30 and might be looking to settle down, as many have speculated might be behind him wanting to return to Madrid. I think he's simply been running his contract down whilst raising his profile with us to get Real interested; he may even have had this in mind from the start as he couldn't really move directly from Atletico to Real.
We're in this shit position owing to him having such little time left on his contract, which seems to be mostly down to him. He could sign an extension with us on the understanding that he goes next summer; for that matter he could've signed an extension months ago on the understanding that we let him go this summer for a decent transfer fee. He hasn't, and I don't think the club could've done much differently to achieve him signing an extension.
He's run his contract down and knows that we basically have to sell this summer, and for whatever Real decide to offer since he's not interested in going anywhere else - if it were all about simply returning to Madrid then I'd suspect we'd have heard at least something about a potential return to Atletico given his contract status, or even returning there on a free next summer. But it's always been about Real - I think this has been planned for ages from his side, and we're going to end-up getting screwed by it, not just on the transfer fee itself, but because we are losing our best player and can't do anything about it.

De Gea needs to consider whether he really wants to move to a club where the dressing room will look up to not only his main rival, but the guy who he doesn't get along with.
Also needs to consider whether it's worth it to only play league football all year and be left out of the cup competition because you have to keep Lord Iker happy.

I just don't care any more .. If he wants to join the circus then let him join it..
Looks like he'll be announced and presented next week.
