I haven't read that anywhere. Be kind of surprised if Nev sold him out like that.
De Gea Contract Situation
- Thread starter Sassy Colin
- Start date

Like I said, I'm sure the money on offer was the main reason he stayed. I'm just saying it probably wasn't the main reason he was considering leaving.
I definitely remember someone saying he turned up to training the day after it got sorted and basically said 'yea, it was just a tactic', I think it was Neville but I can't remember for sure.
I think it was more that Rooney has to apologise to the dressing room for basically saying they are rubbish and not good enough.
John O'Shea talked about Rooney's tactic in this official account of the season:

It was O'Shea. Last three paragraphs.

Thank you, I knew I hadn't dreamt it!
Tbh, it sounds to me like he said what he had to to get past it in the dressing room. Far easier to say it was a passing tactic to get more money, which footballers are bred to understand, than say that he thought they were all fecking pony and needed sending to the Traveller's yard.
Could easily be either, but when Paul Stretford is involved I have no trouble believing it was all about the money.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Most likely they see Leno as a stop gap for De Gea for two years but hopefully he can prove himself as their number 1 so they won't need De Gea although this is Madrid were talking about who regularly sell their best players to buy the shiny new toy.
Yes, it would be a decent move for them, I think.
Should the unlikely happen, Gea signing a new contract and staying at United for another year or two, they could be looking to use him in a deal for De Gea at a later stage. And if De Gea suddenly wants to stay at United after that (again, unlikely) or Real feel they have to spend their money elsewhere, they already have a good goalkeeper.
But I'm sure it won't come to that. They will get him, and we will find soemone new.
Seems like Iker will stay there and still play a big part at Real. That's at least what their director says. Forget that circus Dave, stay with us and return to Atletico in a couple of years.
I would be surprised if he is generally conflicted on this. On the one side, Madrid means close to his family & girlfriend and starting a family, on the other hand United fans love him, he's happy here and there are big bucks.
I reckon his Mrs should take a leaf out of Victoria Beckham's book, and stay with her man, put her career temporarily on hold and start a family, if that's what she wants to do. I am sure the Spanish papers would be more than happy to come over to Manchester & take pictures of her in her underwear, or whatever she want's to get up to. I can imagine the wedding spread/baby pics etc etc Hello specials anyway, so she is still going to get plenty of exposure for her career. I doubt anyone is going to forget her if she comes to Manchester.

But it's still Manchester
Edurne's music is guff anyway. She is a nobody outside of Spain, and if she is known outside of Spain, it's for being Dave's missus. Dave shouldn't relocating for her career.
She's a recording artist anyway. Most of her job can be done over the internet. There's plenty of studios in the north of England. If she learned to sing in English, she could land herself some lucrative appearances on Saturday Night Takeaway, or some shite.
Suck it up and buy an umbrella.

Maybe there are some die hard United fans in the music industry who could bribe her into convincing Dave to stay here.
Everytime I open BBC I am expecting to see headline with yellow backround ' Man United De Gea agreed personal terms with RM'. feck I am scared to check even ordinary news.
She's a musician they can pretty much do their work anywhere in the world.
Feck it, let's just swap him for Oblak.
I remember that, I think Micheal Owen also said similar thing about Rooney's cantract situation after privately talked about it
In the loosest sense of the word.
£20mil and they keep Casillas would be more of a win win than that!
Gawd. Iker is so bad these days that he can't find the ball even when it's in his net.
Well you know what I mean.
Watching her video the other day gave me.a new appreciation for the quality of America and British pop music music.
I don't think being a popular recording artist in only Spain pays particularly well either. DDG would probably earn more in two or three weeks than she earns in a yar if she stays.
Anyways - this is Over.
I have been eternally optimistic but everything in the last few days says he's gone.
Both Neville and Scholes have said "the noises coming out of the club (re: there bff Giggsy) have been negative".
Bye Dave.
We need Bale.
We really don't.
Agree with you that he's gone though, I've been optimistic for ages, but there's nothing that really sustains that optimism now.
Except my optimism. So feck it, he's staying!
If he's available, we need to be signing him, simple as that...
He'd instantly improve Chelsea, City or Arsenal, as well as ourselves, and that is why we should be in for him...
I can understand that view, and I'd actually be in favour of getting Bale if he's available, I'm just nitpicking on the 'need' part of it. There's many areas of the field I feel we need drastic improvement and while Bale would certainly improve us I don't feel he should be a priority. But it's nitpicking, I'm aware of it.
He'd be the icing on the Gundogan, Pogba and Hummels cake...
That cake would kill you with indigestion.
Turkish Delight, with German Sausage and Dark Chocolate...That cake would kill you with indigestion.
So the poll has swung in favor of him leaving...
When Scholes and Neville said :"the noises coming out of the club (re: there bff Giggsy) have been negative". Any link?
So you don't watch football at all then?
Ian Brown???
I'm sticking to my yes!!!!
His agent is Mendes right? I wouldn't put it past him doing this as a negotiating tactic.
