Give him 200k and Ashley Young to wash his car every day.
This epitomises the view of Manchester United, and many other clubs around the world when they sign youngsters. People forget these footballers are just humans, and as a species, we're constantly aiming higher and becoming better.Ripper post. Love the guy so much - I just absolutely love watching a player grow and mould. It's one of the finest aspects of the game when a young lad comes to a big club, faces some hardship and fights through it. It's part of what United is all about.
Never.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
Even if Barca asks for a Messi - De Gea swap deal, I wouldn't like it to happen.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
Only player I'd swap De Gea for is Ronaldo. And that's partly because he's a former United player.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
Absolutely not.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
Hell no! That would be an awful deal for us in fairness.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
You reckon De Gea is worth the same as Vidal cash wise?Hell no! That would be an awful deal for us in fairness.
that's a terrible deal for us. i would be royally pissed off.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
Yeah I'd probably take it, we all love DDG but at the end of the day outfield players improve your team much more than keepers do.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
"Terrible deal" is a little bit overboard. he is one of my favourite players at United but you would have to consider it.that's a terrible deal for us. i would be royally pissed off.
even if we could get messi for de gea, i'd just think about it.
he's by far my favorite player at united, not even close.
There's a difference between a keeper having a bad season and a keeper not being quite as sensational as David has been. It seems likely to me that we would have had a better year last year with Vidal in our team and Lindegaard in goal. But as I said, I probably wouldn't take it either as I love Dave.Have we ever seen a team win the title and had their keeper have a bad season.
They're worth as much to the team as a top striker, perhaps more.
Plus, he's one of my favourite players, I wouldn't swap him for Ronaldo.
i agree it's overboard."Terrible deal" is a little bit overboard. he is one of my favourite players at United but you would have to consider it.
No, no, never!!Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
Haha last part is true. Also, great goalkeepers are perhaps harder to come by these days.i agree it's overboard.
i would hate it that much though so to me it's terrible. for the team? not bad, but de gea gives us 10 years of world class goalkeeping, i'd take that over vidal any day.
*edit: not to mention that you're trading away the best spanish transfer agent in the world in dave, lest we forget thiago, mata, herrera, fabregas
Yes. De Gea is only 23. He is a baby in goalkeeper terms. We could get another 10-15 years out of him. Meanwhile Vidal is 27 and as a midfielder is likely to be at his peak for the next 5 years and not much beyond. Considering we had so much trouble with goalkeepers in the past De Gea is literally the last player in our squad I would let go.Interesting.. I think De Gea is a gem and good goalkeepers are hard to find. Plus his age means he will (hopefully) be ours for a long time to come. But I think if we replaced

More! de Gea is already a world class keeper, and he could be that for us for the next 15 years (at least). Can't really put a price on thatInteresting..

Not in a million years. David is special to us.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
Disagree - remember the problems we've had in the past finding a decent keeper? Lose a potential world class keeper and you'll lose points galore. Think how many points he saved us last year. Keeper's are consistently underrated. To answer the original question, no way would I lose De Gea - not for anyone.Yeah I'd probably take it, we all love DDG but at the end of the day outfield players improve your team much more than keepers do.
How many league titles did we win when we didn't have a decent keeper, our highest points tally ever in the PL was when we had Barthez as our goalkeeper. There isn't a great deal of difference between the best goalkeeper in the world and the 10th best over the course of a season. Having Vidal and Lindegaard in net would probably improve us more than just having De Gea in net.Disagree - remember the problems we've had in the past finding a decent keeper?

It doesn't mater pal, thankfully Juve have been in the hunt for young itiallian GK, like Leali/Simone Scuffet. So we're in the clea. Barca were the only team I was worried about, now they're out of the picture it's happy days.Say Juventus, who are losing Buffon, ask for a De Gea - Vidal swap deal… Would you guys take it?
They'd be absolute nut jobs not to. You've got to love big Dave, he has the same level of respect for United as Evra does. He'll commit for another Five years at least, i'm sure of it.De Gea is probably the only player in our current squad who I'd consider priceless. Not only because he's already an amazing keeper for his age, but because there's absolutely no available keepers that could replace him.
I really hope that the club value him as highly.
