I hope you do stand your ground as I don't like seeing the two Spanish clubs bullying folks to get their own way (although its slightly pleasant when its you guys :) ). However, De Gea also only has one year left so you're not exactly in a position to barter either. You may well have a asking price and refuse to sell if its not met but De Gea doesn't have to sign a new deal either so could walk for free next year.

Its quite a similar position to what we had with Suarez when he wanted to go to Arsenal except Suarez had two years left at the time.

IMO, De Gea either goes now or he stays and signs a new deal with a release clause in meaning he goes next summer.

Or he stays and signs a pre contract in January to go for nothing and accepts a year off from van Gaal.

Van Gaal is setting de gea up as the pantomime villain in this..... Utd fans have known for 2 years real were the club who'd take De gea. ... has Utd not offered him deals before now?

When he refused why did you think he'd play like a hero until you decided what to do.

Suarez, C.Ronaldo, Bale, Modric, Fabregas, Henry, etc. They all made it clear they wanted to move on but none of them moved quickly, each of those deals took time. Granted, not as much time or as late in the day as this one.

And their teams got what they wanted <ok>
 
Or keep a world class goalkeeper ?

You belive that guff?

That he will play like nothings happened


You've not noticed the guff from van Gaal and the dropping and the poor play in a preseason game. .. inmgnoring evidence is what uir does

Suarez?
 
Man Utd are a bit ****ed though.

Van Gaal has alienated Valdes so he can't be used.

They can't sign a proper replacement before De Gea goes or Real's offer drops like a stone.

They can't play chicken with the bid because De Gea walks away for free and Man Utd have no time to buy.
 
The history of these things is the Spanish don't seem to care when... mascherano happened really late as did bale.

The stories we are hearing about 30mil fees are just a joke. 12 months left you don't get world records.

And frankly those peddling that stuff made themselves look thick.

I seem to remember Ronaldo signed another contract, some other top price player did the same, cant remember who it was though.

Don't worry they've already signed one. Right worldie too.

And they won't get Ramos in return once he's decided to sign that lovely new contract offer :)

Both had more than one year left. they signed the new deal because it included a release clause that would see them leave the following summer (plus a pay rise of course). why would De Gea do that when he can leave for free anyway? the pay rise will be covered by the signing on free with him being a free agent too.

So cos someone else did Mr De gea is bound too?

Sounds like a lot of clutching here

If players are willing to move to barca to sit round til January why would de gea not sit on his hands.

What possible offering do you think Utd can make to de gea to sign a new contract even with a 20 Mil release?

Especially as van Gaal is actively pushing him out today which you ignore
