Constantly at the STD clinic.
I expected him to do better for their third goal to be honest.

Anyway, probably the best keeper in the world right now. I am a united fan, but even I would want to get the hell out of this team if I was there. Imagine having a teammate like Rojo...

Took a deflection off Blind, then as was already diving couldn't readjust enough. Looked awkward but don't think he could have done anything.

This. Lucky to even get a hand to it. Close range header plus deflection made it impossible. He did well to still react and get close to it. Most goalkeepers are watching that go in whilst their feet are nailed to the spot.

Think he did well overall considering he had bottles thrown at him during the game and a fan going on the pitch confronting him (according to the BBC).

Are WHU going to punished for any of the out of control fan behavior yesterday, or is it all going to get swept under the rug because RIP Upton Park?

FA are supposedly looking into things but think it'll all be swept under the rug, especially the bottle throwing in the stadium anyway. Not heard any mention of that being looked into.

Even if he was leaving there'd be no reason not to post that. One kit launch keeps United fans happy. Two kit launches just means more exposure.

That tweet reads like it wasn't written by DDG. Reads like marketing prose.

I love DDG but just want him to leave. We won't ever be able to reward his talent with the trophies if he stays. He looks like someone who enjoys playing for us, looking at his celebrations but we are forcing him to leave by not offering him CL football

I don't want him to leave.... Not by any means however it would be difficult to blame him if he wanted to go. I just hope Real don't see him as top priority with Navas doing so well and they may want to strengthen other areas.

Also he hasn't previously been linked with Barca so lets hope he stays. Hopefully he will want at least one more season under a new manager to see how we do...then he can decide his future

Has anyone mentioned that this could be the last time he plays for Manchester United as the home side yet?

Strange you want our best player to leave. Surely it'll be even harder to get back into the CL without him. Maybe we should celebrate turning into Everton.

Means nothing, he's just doing his sponsor stuff. There's pics of Ronaldo in our 2009 kit.

This was edited on to the 07-09 kit, he didn't do a photo shoot like DDG.

And didn't the Van Persie transfer happen out of nowhere?

Anyway, I dunno what my point is because I can still see him leaving. Kit photoshoots don't mean much, they just got all the adidas sponsored players (besides Ander and Bastian?) at United to model their new adidas kit.

Red Card for Casemiro!
If Real come calling again - what reasons does he have not to leave now? It works both ways - if he stays and gives his best, he expects the club and the manager to give their best, too.
Very simply put, we are not up to his standards anymore.

Has been the best keeper in the world in three years of a shit team. We can't hold a grudge against him for deciding to move to his home town to his family, and play for a far better club with CL which can actually win trophies regularly.

I love him to bits but he is far too good for us. It would be totally understandable if he throws his gloves and leaves

Don't think anyone would blame him if he does leave, but just can't hope he does. Let's get a new manager and five new players and hope he can stick it out for another year or two until we are back challenging.

It's not like he is playing here for free. We are paying him more than any other keeper gets. I don't understand this 'too good for us' thing.

I hate the 'he's too good for us, we should let him leave' mentality. He's essential to our quest to becoming a top club again.

Don't see him leaving. The speculation has been minimal compared to last season. His re-signing takes all the pressure off us to sell. Navas has been excellent anyway, and Courtois seems to have had more speculation surrounding him. I feel certain he will be here come the start of the season. Maybe not forever, but I'd say at least another year or two.

I think he's off and I wouldn't put much into the contract signing - it suited all parties. Madrid know he's going for an already agreed price, DDG gets a big pay rise and signing bonus to compensate him for having to play behind Rojo all year and we don't have to deal with the constant speculation/Madrid's usual transfer tactics disrupting us/our negotiations for a replacement.

How many more reasons does Ed need? Keep a frued and lose the best goalkeeper in the world.. Sack the Dutch bastard and keep David.

Don't give a shit about Mourinho, but if it means Dave is staying 'deal me in'.

Club deny there is a release clause.
Never believed we would put a £30m release clause on someone earning £200k a week. If there's one, I'm sure it's a lot more than that.

If only for the sole reason of keeping De Gea from going we should sign whoever he likes :wenger:
