a player (or player's agent) using us to get a better contract shocker

Perfect for us, will never happen though.
I personally see La Liga as much softer refereeing wise than the premier league. Therefore my logic is that (and this is totally kneejerk reaction be it wrong or right) some of those reds would not be reds in the PL. There's no factual evidence and looking over all his red cards maybe would change that initial reaction of mine. But thats just my first thought seeing that.
As I said, likely I could be so so wrong.
Yuck.
You're a Real Madrid fan right?
This is the craziest rumour ever
Wouldn't want him anyway, he's a proper cnut.

He's a cnut and not even the best at defending, its Pepe who's better.
His disciplinary record is awful, he'd be a liability for us. Don't really like his antics at times neither, always seems hell bent on getting other players sent off.
Behaviour on the pitch can be easily altered. The defensive record is quite incredible but it should be better in the PL. As far as footballing qualities go, we'd be hard pressed to find a better CB. Unfortunately though, he's just after a new fat contract.
Will go down as a legend for Madrid. He's going nowhere.
AS say he wants out http://as.com/diarioas/2015/06/21/english/1434897201_349973.html
Sid Lowe says we've enquired http://www.theguardian.com/football...-united-real-madrid-david-de-gea-sergio-ramos
Mail say it's close http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...os-Real-Madrid-David-Gea-saga-rumbles-on.html
Stinks of someone playing games, rather than anything concrete from us, but there you go.

Agreed.
Sort of story that gives Silly Season its name. I would be very shocked if anything happened here.
A non story. Next
He'll get the pay rise he wants and be happy in Madrid.
Many on the Real Madrid forums would strongly disagree. He's on 5.5m a year and wants to be on the same wage level as Bale who earns 9-10m. I don't think his demand is that unreasonable given that he's been at the club for 10 years, is club captain and would probably get that type of money elsewhere. His relationship with Perez has been on the rocks for some time and the recent media leaking's about him going to Barca have supposedly fractured it even more. At the end of the day if Madrid won't pay him even half of the ££ he can earn elsewhere he could easily leave just like Di Maria. If I was Ramos I'd see no reason Bale should be earning far more than me.
His agent using us to get a new contract. Nothing to see here. Move along.
My muppet senses feel like he's using us. Hopefully not.
2nd most overrated defender on Earth after David Lolz. Does anyone really think Van Gaal is going to completely neglect Rafael because he can't trust him to keep his head and stay on the field in key games, and then sign a total head case like Ramos?
The difference being Ramos is a world class CB and Rafael is average.
If it comes down to Ramos or Otamendi i wonder who would we choose
By overrated you mean the best? I'd agree then.
I refuse to get drawn in!
I don't think there's anything in this one.
I'm trying to work out if we are enquiring about any Madrid player worth his salt while we thrash out the De Gea deal or whether the press just assume we are.
I know a lot of people think he is overrated and a cnut, but if there is any chance of getting him, we should be all over him. I rate him, not because he is the best out and out defender, but he is a great leader, good on the ball and experienced.
I also think he just uses us to get a better contract, but if this is the 1% where it isnt the case, i would welcome him here with open arms.

Another player using us to get a new contract [yawn]
A very controversial player to say the least, he'd certainly bring big game experience but is to hot headed most of the time for my liking. No question the guy has ability but he is a cnut but if we signed him he'd be our cnut and give everyone else another reason to hate on us.
Didn't he publicly admit to his disgust when Madrid sacked Carlo Ancelotti a few weeks back?

Probably not going to happen. But, honestly I know he is a good player I would hate to watch him every week.
I used to think he was massively overrated but my opinion has changed a bit in recent years. Maybe I'm just being swayed by his rather epic goals in their CL winning campaign.
He certainly is both an idiot and a cnut though.
There's something to this story but that something is more than likely a new contract for Ramos.

I disagree. If Rafael played for Real Madrid or Barcelona you'd be sliding off your stool every time you spoke about him.
For me is the best in the world,has a lot of personality,character and skills.A good CB has to be a cnut,the typical guy that you hate when is in the opposite team.Someone like Ayala,Godín,Chiellini,Otamendi,etc.He is angry with the board and his discontent is not only for the contract but the exit of Iker,the president licking Bale's ass against the benefit of the team,the club not defending him of the info about Barcelona's candidate,etc. In the other hand he is spaniard,the typical one that stays all his career here,an idol in Spain and the leader of national team,therefore to sell him would be a shock in a club so political.I'd bet that at the end he will renew

I'd definitely take him, for what it's worth. He isn't the greatest defender you'll ever see, but he's the right profile for what we need at centre half. Experienced, quick, comfortable in possession and able to manage a high line. Then there's the fact that both Madrid and Spain have won major honours with him at the heart of defence. He's really quite good.
Ramos, although he's a prick, I could see as a target for van Gaal. His strenghts are his passing, headers and 1v1 and that's exactly what van Gaal wants from a centreback - especially headers. LvG his style of football is high-risk high-reward, an excellent defender like Ramos would certainly have the potential to blossom under van Gaal.
Wether this story has something to it we'll hear over the next couple of days, I wouldn't write it off now but I'd say it's very unlikely at the moment.

Even if it was true that we were after him, which I very much doubt, it'd be a completely pointless signing.
He'd only be available for 1 in 4 games, after getting sent off every time he actually played.

I'm not dillusional about the ability of our own players, outside of United fans no one rates Rafael.
Rafael is available but no club would spend more than 10m on him. If Ramos is genuinely available most of the best clubs throughout Europe will be interested.
Snowball, hell, springs to mind for some reason.
Don't rate him at all...in fact Smalling is better and that says a lot!
Rather Otamendi but hey, if he's going.
