yeah madrid do have bigger attendances, twice a year
so by your rules hambuger sport veronin who averaged 50,000 last season are a bigger team than chelsea?
In my opinion he should stay in the side. If he is taken out he will feel like the whole world is against him. He is stil a kid really. It must be so difficult being a 20 year old, having cost £16m to become the first choice keeper in the biggest team in the world. I don't know if Ferguson has made a mistake in signing him now. It is such a massive ask for De Gea and you can see already it is weighing him down.
We are the biggest club in value by a long shot, we have the larges global fan base and have higher attendances.Look fair play on the attendance thing if your attendance is bigger on average but I truely believe for various reasons not just attendance that Madrid still are and historically have always been the biggest club side in the world. ?
Only Ronaldo wanted to leave United because Real were the team that he supported. Beckham and Ruud both fell out with Fergie and were shown the door.Just in the last few years they have signed the likes of Figo, Zidane, both Ronaldos, Kaka etc. United have never been able to attract that sort of player. Various factors but the main one being that playing for Madrid is seen as the highest you can go for a footballer at club level. That's why the likes of Beckham, Ronaldo and Van Nist all wanted to go there...from you.

Taibi's actually the perfect example of what I'm talking about. He played great against Liverpool, but flapped at a free kick to allow them to score. Then had five put past him against Chelsea with more flapping, and then was kept in the side for Southampton by which point his confidence was completely shot and he couldn't even keep out a simple drive from Le Tissier. If he'd been dropped after the Chelsea match he might have had a chance to get his confidence back rather than having it damaged even more. After the Southampton game he never played for us again, and played pretty well for Reggina, so you can't say whether being dropped had a positive or negative impact.
Bosnich's career never recovered cos his fitness was poor and he was fired by Chelsea for taking coke. And he wasn't just dropped for a game or two, he was outright replaced by Barthez. I'm not suggesting we should buy another keeper, just that maybe De Gea should be taken out of the firing line for a game or two rather than risk his slips becoming a full fledged crisis.
Wow i've really riled some people up...bite little fish bite!!

Un twist you knickers, I'm not slagging off your club, United are massive and there's no shame being 2nd, 3rd, 4th in the world. You're just not number 1.
And I don't understand what is a 'better' club?? There are bigger clubs and better teams. What constitutes a better club?
