De Gea: "Nobody knows the future. The future is the future. I’m very happy at United."

I feel confident that we'll be able to hold onto him with Mourinho in charge if we qualify for the champions league. If we miss out on the champions league, then I can see him walking.
Its pretty much what Ronaldo has said from his first season at Madrid and we read too much into that. I think he'll still be here in 3 or 4 years.
Track that DHL flight if he signs Real's contract and learns about the fax machine.Despite knowing that this is standard response for players these days, I don't have it in me to go through another "only god knows" and drawn out saga/rumours. Just pack your bags and go if that's what's up.
My goat United keeper but hey

They weren't budget options. There just never are many keepers available. SAF also went for Bosnich, Barthez, Taibi, Foster and played van der Gouw because others weren't cutting it. He played 10 different goalkeepers in that 6 season period.
There's no keeper that comes close to De Gea that's on the market. Lloris and Courtois comfortably make up the top 3 in the league with him. Neuer isn't going anywhere and Juventus will also be on the market for a keeper because Buffon is retiring. They're going to throw money at Donnarumma and hope they'll be set yet again with a keeper for 10+ years.
Isn't Jose's record of buying/picking keepers pretty bang on...
but you didn't though did you?
They can have him for £10 million. txt.
Can't blame him - the guy deserves to be playing in the champions league
Shame if you lose him

Typo? Even our broken fax machine is worth more than that.
Madrid adopting the scattergun approach to finding a keeper, three linked to them in one day. I can see Curtois angling for the move out of the three. I think de Gea will stay for another season, Donnarumma should stay at Milan for another 3/4 years to help his development.
I meant for whatever reasons De Gea should go to Real there are more convincing ones that say completely otherwise.
Madrid will end up with Courtois imo.
If they do end up targeting DDG we should start throwing money at a few of their players to unsettle them...see how they like it.

Ah the old unknown future line. I suppose they can never fully commit.
In saying that though, Ronaldo was pretty assuring just before he left

Wikipedia banned Daily Mail, I wish redcafe could too (along with Sun).
This. He's not going anywhere.
Between this and every Martial and Jose thread, why is everyone always fearing the worst? Get a grip, drama queens.
I don't see what's the problem with that interview... What do people expect him to say?
Crafton is connected to the De Gea camp and other Spanish players.
Ah okay, my bad.
It's probably likely that he could leave - as a Spaniard he would maybe like to spend his best years there?
But a replacement close enough to De Gea is a bit hard to find but my choice would probably be Bernd Leno, you can never go wrong with a german goalkeeper. Saw this a while ago, a head to head with Neuer:
Real Madrid if you're reading this then go for Courtois instead, he's cheaper and younger.
This. De Gea is one of the best in the world in his position. He would want to be in a team that can win league titles and the CL. We need to start being competitive and soon or he'll leave.
Actually not, since they always try to find new "Galacticos". There are three big name GK:s at the moment and they are Neuer, De Gea and Courtouis so it's normal that they'll try to get one of them. They had Casillas as a Spanish NT goalkeeper for a long time and it would probably be great for them to have yet another goalkeeper that represents the Spanish national team.
They we should just not sell, does he want to play in next summers World Cup?
I don't want to hold him hostage but we have the leverage here.
"I don't want to move anywhere"
Yeah well these kind of situations always end up in the player leaving. Payet the last example. Edit: Not saying DDG will definitely leave, talking about those "Sorry, but we won't sell" situations.
Can anyone blame him though? I was annoyed when Ronaldo left as he left a truly great team to join average Madrid team that couldn't get past last 16 of champions league for five years.
But De Gea from a sporting perspective should be keen on a Madrid move as he will have more chance of silverware there.

Is that what the foreign players at Chelsea say?
Some do, some don't. Depends if they want to stay or not I guess.
Yeah, Liverpool begs to differ.
I know. It's like a masochists convention in here sometimes. Oh no, Martial's out of favour and Jose is selling him. Oh no, De Gea has pretty much confirmed he's leaving. Oh no, we dropped 2 points. That's the end of our top 4 chances.
What's the point in stressing over hypothetical situations.
And what about neutral responses, like De Gea's?
When it come to Dave, you can take this guy's word as gospel.
Hopefully we tell Madrid to feck off.
You forgot to add he's a much better goalkeeper as well.
To be honest after watching this video it isn't even a question who is better.
By the way, remember Adler? Was regularly linked to us with the nearing VDS exit, our fan and Germany's number 1 before Neuer. You can go wrong with German keepers.
Don't think that Leno or Ter Stegen, let alone others, are capable of what De Gea produces over the last few years.
There is always Donnarumma, of course, although it's hard to predict his career trajectory at this point.
What about them?
Someone said "What did people expect him to say" and I answered. If you don't want to leave, saying "I don't want to leave" is the answer.
If he wants to move on. he goes. He has done everything he could for us. Saved multiple seasons from going complete south. Can't ask for more.
