De Gea is a little bitch, hiding behind his agent.

Hand in a transfer request, mother fecker!
:lol:

Edit: There is no need to blame someone else here, Yeah I'm talking to you @SalfordRed1960 , De Gea is the one engineering all that, Mendes would have been thrilled to see him sign a new contract, pocket the signing bonus and then transfer him for big money and take a cut on the transfer fee. De Gea is just toying with our backside.

Why would you think this has anything to do with DDG?

Madrid and or United will be holding this up... not DDG.
If he wants to leave then just hand in a transfer request. It annoys me sometimes how revered Ronaldo is after he left for Madrid, and that's with him signing a contract just before he left so we'd at least get a huge amount for him.

De Gea not signing a contract, yet clearly wanting to leave for Madrid and not handing in a request annoys me more. He'll leave and some of us will go, "Oh good luck Dave, you gave us 4 solid years, he's going home blabla," forgetting he basically let his contract run down to force the club's hands. He'll get plaudits for being a supposed "class act" while he goes to Madrid, further establishing us as inferior mugs to those lot.

No doubt we'll hear about how he "enjoyed his time with United" or "how it was a magical 4 years" blabla, probably through some cheesy open letter to fans or something silly.

I swear United's loyalty to players hurts us sometimes. We're seen as pushovers to assholes like Mendes and De Gea.

Why are there no Mancunian girls getting into relationships with international footballers and then telling them they have to come and live in Manchester?

And should the club be looking to invest £20m or so in some kind of WAG Academy, to train Mancunian ladies in the art of seduction and how to convince footballers to come and live in the North West? Would surely pay for itself pretty quickly. And could pave the way for some commercial deals with sanitary products providers or the like.
What you're describing is an escort service. Law enforcement does not look too kindly at those. :lol:

The little cnut has done my head in.

I've accepted he's going, I just wish he'd do one quickly.

The fecker is hanging around like a shitty fart.
I understand and I feel the same.

Hand in a transfer request so that it puts United in a worse negotiating position? How does that help matters exactly? Also, even if he did, why would it speed up the process anymore? Madrid would still want to offer X, and United would still want to recieve Y... it really wouldn't make that much difference at all.

As I said above, it makes no sense for De Gea from a personal standpoint to sign a new contract with us... and you can say that he let his contact run down or whatever, but that is how contracts work. They're for a set number of years, and thats all there is too it. No one's giving Tom Cleverly shit for letting his contract run down....

No, he is c*** and we should ignore his existence, unless he decides to stay and sign a new contract.

I still don't have an issue with how David De Gea is handling this. He's not said a word, as there's still a decent chance he could be here come September and leave next summer. Why would he burn bridges with the club (who I believe he does have genuine affection for) when he could be due one final season? Madrid seem to be acting the cnut more so, because they've stirred up the situation, but they're not making concrete bids. What's their hold up? We can't sell a player until someone actually bids for him. I don't believe it's up to De Gea to facilitate a move.

I actually want him to go now to that circus of a club. look how they are treating Ramos, a supposed club legend and fans favourite. Atletico fans will hopefully give him plenty of shit aswell

It makes no difference to his valuation whether or not he hands in a request, seeing how Madrid are pretty much the only club he's set his heart on. A request would make him look less of a sneaky bastard. Cut off his ties with us, since he wants to go there so much. Will also spare us the fake teary goodbyes.

I get what you mean about him not signing a contract which does not benefit him. I'm all for the "club as a family" and loyalty to players approach but it's beginning to look like a naive policy in this day and age, especially after losing patriarchal Ferguson.

It's about time the club starts pushing their weight around and start acting like a proper big club. As it stands, we're losing our best performing player of the last few seasons to the same club who only few years ago got our best player at the time. And far more than the fact that we're losing a good goalkeeper, THAT seriously pisses me off.

De Gea to Real this season, what next? Herrera to Barcelona? Pereira to Bayern? You don't see Chelsea having to beg players to stay.

Nah.

It's one of the worst kept secrets in football that he's leaving.

Somehow, him maintaining a silence has really gotten on my tits. I'd have preferred him to come out - ala Ronaldo - and just admit he wants to bugger off.

if he wanted to stay he would have signed ages ago. if he wants to go he could make it official, but will cost him financially

Sets a dangerous precedence if people are to start accepting players using delaying tactics to run down contracts with a future move on the cheap in mind.

We really need to start looking at whether bringing these type of players here are worth it. Also sick of hearing about Mendes I mean who has he actually brought us, Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson, Bebe, Di Maria who else? You have to question if he would advise Ronaldo to do the same if he wanted to come back to United, I very much doubt it as Madrid would rightfully tell him where to go.

All this player and agent power is getting ridiculous people need to realise it's the big clubs that hold the power.

If Ronaldo were to come back, Mendes would push for the move. It would benefit him more.

Also people need to stop giving him shit just so they can avoid having a pop at De Gea. It's him who wants to leave not like Mendes is forcing him to.

Would he push Ronaldo to delay signing a contract so we could get him on the cheap? I really doubt that.

I had a pop at De Gea long ago i've been saying for months he's out of order the way he has gone about it. All I ever read is about Mendes though and how clubs especially us bend over backwards for him when in the grand scheme of things is it really benefiting us dealing with him? If stories are to be believed Mendes is as much a part of this as De Gea for the way it has been done.

Didn't Ronaldo sign a contract after the first time he said that he wanted to leave us? The evil Mendes could have easily told him then to run it down and get his move.

This. Also, De Gea staying at United would also, IMO benefit Mendes equally, if not more than if De Gea moved on.

I don't believe he does want to stay, but there's still a possibility he plays for us next season if we refuse Madrid's potentially derisory bids. It's a realistic possibility, so it's not in his best interests to sour his relationship with the club. He won't want to sit out for a year.

Absolutely agree with all this.

Getting fed up now. It's becoming disruptive and we don't need that at the start of the new season. I would give De Gea/Mendez a deadline and say get Madrid to pay a decent fee and if not, get ready to stay for another season and then you can feck off. We haven't got time to indulge this nonsense.

Are there too many people who even care about what happens with DDG anymore? Buy a replacement and banish him to the reserves if Madrid don't agree a fee.

The boy should've never left Atletico. We've been nothing but a stepping stone for him.

He joined us when we won the league and made the CL final. Basically when we were a top 3 in the world team... Right now we can barely qualify for the CL

How many top teams lose their goalkeepers before they even hit their prime though? I honestly can't remember one in recent years. Clubs ditch goalies, never the other way round. Its embarrassing.

Putting his house up for sale is up to DDG. He could at least wait a month or two, its not like he needs the cash. He is rubbing our noses in it, and the sooner he is gone the better as far as I am concerned.
