Casillas apparently.
It gives me hope for him signing that deal with a view to settle his situation, get back in the side and earn his spot for the Euros.
There's no way he wants to be the centre of drama for a year and miss out next year.
Casillas' status in Spanish national side is beyond a joke.
It's no different to the Gerrard-Lampard selection. Both of whom had built up strong relationships with journalists who had made their non-selection difficult for the manager.
If they weren't selected you could guarantee questions would be asked about the manager.
why is there a dot in the thread title? special attention?
Look at the furor that accompanied Raul being dropped in 2008. It seems hierarchy plays a huge role in the Spanish set up. I have always believed Casillas would be number one for the Euros regardless of De Gea's form.
David when he was a little boy.
Funny how many Spaniards look so, uh, not Spanish.

Just watched Sunday supplement apparently DDG is the victim in all this transfer mess! Lol hope LVG doesn't allow him to pull on the united shirt again!
You sure that's not a picture of him now in a wig?
Haha, he hasn't changed much yeah.
Why?
I've decided to take the nip with him Cheesy. Heard he's not happy with United! Excuse me but are we not paying him bucketloads to play for us? Hardly a hardship there ungrateful little fecker. I would prefer somebody who wants to be here than have someone who is about to jump as soon as his contract is up. Feck him let him sit out for a year.
Ronaldo wanted to leave, and wasn't particularly happy in his final year at times. We still played him though, because he was our best player. De Gea's entitled to want to leave: it might be shite for us, but he's not gone to the point of treating the club like Tevez treated City, for example. He's still here, and we'd be daft not to use him while we can.
We got £80m for Ronnie and he signed a new deal so we'd get paid! DDG the snake is going to slink out without us getting a penny!
Possibly. He could potentially sign a new deal, although I'll admit I'm not entirely convinced he will.
Even then though, it's not De Gea's job to get us a transfer fee: we should've had a more long-term contract tied up a couple of years ago if we were going to moan about not getting a fee for him.
I'd agree with that just think we could have DDG and Pogba for the next 5 years. But I do think DDG has strung us along for last 2 years.
Played 90 minutes and kept a clean sheet for Spain tonight away to Macedonia. Anyone watch the game and know how he did? Hopefully he looked sharp and it gives him more of a chance to start on Saturday.
We should learn our lesson from this ..It is naive to think that all our players will decide to stay when given renewals in the last year of their contracts..Keep the renewals with a year to go to the Young and the Valencia's of this world..but with 2 and a half years left with our bigger names, we should be discussing new deals.
and you don't think we opened talks with De Gea with 2 and a half years to go?
Neither of us can say conclusively..but judging perhaps from other deals we have had with other players it appears that we do regularly offer contracts to some players around that 12-18 months left mark( Smalling and Jones for example),so it may be true here..I'm not attacking the club btw before anyone attacks me..rather what Id like to see us do in future IF we havent started with it, and have contingency measures if the contract negotiations are taking a long time to not end up in a similar situation.
2 and a half years is to late imo
That is basically what he said after the match.
We offer 4 year contracts usually( with an option for another), so renewing just a year into that new contract would cost us..I wonder why we dont offer 6 year contracts like Madrid do...Well except with him of course, and that didn't end well...
Mark my words for it; our attacking displays are going to improve so much better when this guys gets back.
Van gaals team is all about distance from the defenders and the strikers and having a goalkeeper like de gea will only allow our defenders to more bravely push up the field.
Bring it on!

You guys do realise that when his contract had 2 and a half years to go, Moyes was still our manager and we didn't look like qualifying for the CL, right?
I'm guessing we did start talks, but DDG and Jorge Mendes probably came up with the excuse that they will only sign if we qualify for CL. That allowed them to run down the clock and now we end up with this mess.

Good job Woody.
Very true, both Ronaldo and Suarez did this for their clubs. I don't know why DDG won't sign the contract
He's a goalkeeper, Perez doesn't see them as galactico signings. He surely improved his chances of Real Madrid chasing him by running down his contract to 1 year, although he might extend now given the deal has fallen trough.
One thing I have learnt from the Spanish papers this Summer is how they easily tell one story and then report the exact opposite days later..Until he has signed the contract, I 'll remain sceptical.
I'm happy to be optimistic.
Ronaldo signed a new deal around about April 2006, if memory serves me right, which is over a year before the saga of the 2008 summer and over two years before he actually left. He never signed a deal so we'd get more money for him. He signed it to get a better deal.
I've been scarred by football ....Buts lets hope your optimism is rewarded..
From the El Confidencial article on Sport Bible Mendes was quoted as saying;
We offer four year contracts, with an added year if the club wants, to protect us in case a signing completely flops.
Has to start vs the scousers.
Romero is just a feck up waiting to happen, our backline with the addition of De Gea will be perfect.
