De Gea has said he can play the Aston Villa game and is ready for selection. He said this only 2, 3 days ago. Why not play him? He has been professional throughout and not said anything bad towards the club. As for people saying he should sign a new contract so we can get a bumper fee, what's his incentive. I remember Suarez said had a clause in his contract which he thought would allow him to leave for Arsenal but he wasn't allowed, Liverpool sold him to Barcelona more so because of his incident at the world cup and the amount of games he would of missed. Modric signed a new contract with Spurs so they could get more money from Chelsea but they didn't allow him to move, Modric claimed they had an agreement to let him go if he signed a new contract but the club didn't allow him and he had to wait another year to move to Real Madrid. Look at Sterling who I felt was almost getting bullied into signing a new contract.
I think Ronaldo was lucky because Ferguson gave him his blessing, most clubs wouldn't do that.
Clubs love to talk about loyalty but when it suits them they'll dash players without a second thought.
People saying we should make De Gea rot on the bench are very stupid, if a player doesn't play a certain percentage of games they can terminate their contract. Something I learned when the Tevez scandal was happening.
