Is there any definite time frame on his injury? Seems to range from a few days to 4 weeks...
Doubt it. Don't think Iker is going to be playing back-up to anyone again, so unless he left no chance Dave goes there.
In all seriousness though, if we could do something like Dave +15m for Bale, would anyone be ok with that?

No. We're top heavy as it is. Rather have a world class keeper like Dave.
Agreed, not interested in any deal that sees De Gea leave. Unless he pushes for it himself we should just stonewall it.
Yes, and i buy Zieler, Leno, Begovic or someone like that.
David plays down Real's rumor
Yeah yeah David we love you !

Yep not interested at all in anyone coming to OT in a swap deal with DDG.
He was on the bench for Spain the day after the injury, rather than being excluded from the matchday squad altogether. So I assume it was just a lot of noise about nothing?
Yea, I would, If he doesn't sign a contract by summer he'll have 1 year left , if offered Bale/Varane etc in part exchange by that point i'd consider it a good deal considering he'd walk on a free 12 months later, them's the facts.
That's encouraging to hear.
Was he the only goalkeeper on the bench ?
Nope. All the squad was on the bench so not sure if it means anything.
That's what i think i have seen an injured Ribery on the bench with France, i hope that i'm wrong.
Dislocated pinky means he could be back as early as Arsenal, if we really wanted.
If they reduce the dislocation and buddy strap it, customize a three fingered glove for him (a la Neuer) he would be able to play.
If our medics suggest it aint worth the risk, then they'll keep it buddy strapped with pain killers and re-evaluate by next week.

Was it only his pinky? If that's the case surely he'll play. I'd imagine that's the best finger to dislocate if you had to.
Not for a goalkeeper, you use it to stabilize the ball when you catch it. The best ones are the middle and index fingers.
That's true but surely in terms of shot stopping it becomes an issue in terms of finger tip saves if you dislocated your pinky or index fingers?
You can tape your index finger to your middle finger.
When you stop the ball you try to use your palm to stop and your fingers for the direction, having a strap isn't a big issue.
Ya that's a fair point.
You don't use your palm for finger tip saves. Hence the name.
You don't stop the ball with finger tip saves, you deviate it. You'll lose a finger otherwise, forwards are brutal.Ya that's a fair point.

How would you put a glove on though?...
You can get them specially made from the sponsor. IIRC casillas had some like that. I've sprained so many fingers and it really hurts tbh. Once I damaged my funny bone too.

They'd ask for at least 3 times that.
No fecking about from our Big Dave... He's basically just said he wants to become a legend on the level of the Dane. Plus, he's pale as fook. Probably likes Manc weather...
Just posted this on his twitter, clearly reassuring Casillas that while he will be taking his Spain #1 spot, he's not after his day job. He's also tapping up Isco just in case we have an opening for an outrageously gifted attacker in the summer and Real sell him to make room for a new toy.
There was no intention to play him though. He warmed up with the other keepers but he joined the outfield players when they got onto the shot-stopping exercises.
However he did train today, and according to Marca he did the full normal training session, and is only being left out of Spain's team for the Germany friendly as a "precaution". We shall see.

Here's an article with a quote from, presumably, one of the sources he's talking about. The third Spanish keeper, Kiko Casilla.

I know nothing about this guy but Mitten makes a bold claim about him, saying he is regarded as the "best keeper in the air in Spain".
190cm tall. Which must help. Wonder if any PL clubs are looking at him?
Only just caught up with these updates. Seems like the injury isn't too bad anyway if he is a possibility for Arsenal. Good news.
Arsenal 1:2 Man Utd
This is by a mile distance our best player, no one comes close, so glad to have him, we could be 3-0 down if it wasnt for him.
Oh Dave how we're going to miss you. You and your beautiful beard.
And his shit haircut too.
Hey, that's a very nice haircut that. Please stop.
But yea, DDG is immense, fingers crossed he keeps it up because he's the only bright thing this season, just like every single season before.
The only reason why we aren't facing a rout right now.
By that comment, I suppose you have something similar. Sorry to say it (to you ) again but it's shit.
How could any keeper be happy being worked so hard constantly? Poor guy would have so many more clean sheets if he signed for another big team...
