Can my user name be changed to Dave Stays for this year? Mods?
David de Gea
- Thread starter 10Rivaldo
- Start date
Haha! Loving all the obviously seething Madrid fans (not that you'll admit it, of course). You didn't want to pay the asking price but weren't worried as you'd definitely be getting him for free next year....oh, wait...ooops!
Dont you think its very odd how he suddenly changed his mind all of the sudden? I mean what happened, he clearly wanted to go home to sunny Madrid, live with his gf, and play for a currently better team. Suddenly he is like, "nah, screw that, i think i will stay in United for the rest of my life instead", seems logical..... Anyway, im happy with Navas, im not too worried.
Anyway, we payed up, but "someone" screwed up the deal.

Changed his mind when he realised what a massive twonk Flo is and what a joke of a circus that club is.
We dont really know who fecked up this transfer or not, so you cant be sure this is entirely one sides fault or the other, neither can ddg. The club is a circus, absolutely, has been for a long time. But United is also a circus these days, what with all the desperate transfer windows lately. Anyway, i dont think he was actually that keen on leaving in the first place, if he wouldnt wait one single season for his transfer. Prob because he is from Atletico Madrid, so im fine with Navas doing the job.

It's not a huge leap to conclude that he signed the new contract because he(and mendes) felt betrayed by real. Do you think he would've signed a new contract with us if we were the ones who deliberately screwed up?
I think he wasnt that keen on a move in the first place, alot of this has to do with his background i recon, he is from the city rivals after all. Also, i see no reason why he should feel betrayed be Real any more than he should feel betrayed by United. He is a young gk, jeez, if he really wanted to move he would have waited, 1 season in a young gks career is almost nothing.

Don't really think it matters who screwed up. He had his contract with Madrid all signed up and if not for administrative glitches, he would be a Madrid player right now. Him signing a new contract is the most logical thing. He can't afford to lose out a year, and with LvG, United have a manager who is mad enough to have made him sit in the stands for the season. We'll revisit this story again next season, I'm sure of it and it will most probably end with him joining Real, but we'll get the services of one of the best goalkeepers in the world for another season now that the cloud of uncertainty over his future has lifted, and we'll get adequately compensated by Real Madrid . De Gea will get a fair crack at the number one spot for the national team, and Real will probably get their man next season. We should have sufficient time to tap up Lloris, Oblak or Leno in the meantime.

Doubt you'll get Oblak. Guy in beast mode right now for Atletico and they'll probably tie him up with a very big buyout soon too. Lloris and Leno on the other hand....
Negative - If DDG wanted to join us he would simply wait out his contract, there is no reason for him to sign a contract if he wanted to leave. So he stays.

If he waited out his contract, LVG would have benched him the entire season and Del Bosque would not have selected him in the Spain Squad for the Euro 16.

Players transfer between teams all the time. They rarely risk losing out on a season of competitive football and a major competition, as would have been the case for Dave. Him chosing to not having potentially a year of his career wasted doesn't mean he still doesn't mean to move. Anyhow, it's all just speculation at the moment, I'll just enjoy him while we have him safe in the knowledge that we'll get a fair sum for him now if he leaves.
Common, unless Iker gets a serious injury we both know he will be the starter for Spain in this tournament. He is still at a decent level, and while ddg is better than him currently, Bosque likes to play it safe, he has his favorites.

Squad man, squad. Del Bosque said he won't select him in the squad of 23 players or whatever the number is if he doesn't play. No player want to miss a tournament.
Absolutely no guarantee that Perez will pay up that gigantic fee a world class gk on a 4 year contract requires, in fact, the chances are next to zero. If DDG is still expecting a move, he is quite dumb. If he signed the contract because he wants to stay, then no complaints. He likely isnt that stupid, so he wants to stay. 1 season for a young gk is next to nothing anyways.
As far as im concerned, if a player is in the squad but not playing its just the same as not being in the squad. On paper you are apart of the team, but you didnt contribute to the teams performance one bit, effectively the same as not being in the squad at all. At most he will get the last group stage match, if Spain is already qualified.
