Official: De Gea Signs New 4 (+ 1) year deal
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
So the onus is all on us. Even better
Brilliant news, even if its just so we can get proper money for him next summer, I'm over the moon how its turned out.
We waited ages for him to sign a contract then he signs two at once (albeit at different clubs).
I'm sure he's really "delighted"
Still, we'll benefit in the long run regardless of him staying or going so I'm happy enough.

Embarrassing by Real and Perez.
Regardless of what the specifics of this deal may be, this is absolutely excellent news. Hope he's starting tomorrow.
But why is Mata the tallest of all? And DDG so much shorter?! Its rated 18 ffs hahaha...Who is that prick? Never heard of him.
Serious cash money when they next come calling and Dave back as our #1 fighting for a Euro 2016 starting spot.
Jackpot lads, surely?
Made our summer deals look fecking awesome hey.

Is it me or does anyone else feels with an option of extending contract for further 1 year he has not just agreed a contract as a formality but wants to stay here for much longer ?

Just saw it. Fantastic news!
This is better (at least in short term) then any signing we have made.
feck Perez and Madrid!

Absolutely fantastic news.
Well done Woodward. Amazing how much he has improved in such a short space of time as vice-chairman. He's gone from clown to competent to genius in a couple of years.

Good, now at least we'll get decent money for him, and we can finally stop playing Romero. Woody you brilliant bastard.
Can we just say that De Gea did a Ramos?
Feck madrid.

Ex-footballer turned Paul Merson's designated driver on Soccer Saturday.
About time Real Madrid were knocked down a peg or two!
Ha ha - awesome. Keep DDG and stick two fingers up to Real. All hail Woody.
My dick could cut through glass right now.
Is it realistic to expect him to stay for more than this season now? Or is this just a case for him to inevitably leave still and we can get a decent fee next summer?
Why did De Gea sign a new contract though?
Did we promise him serious gametime if he did sign it - which he needs for the euros?

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssss! this has turned a potentially crappy day into something magic.
Great news and hope he starts tomorrow would give the whole team a lift.
The best thing is, our defence has actually been rather solid this season (apart from that funny 20 minutes we had in Wales). With DDG back between the sticks it's sure to gee up confidence even more.
Thank feck for the change.Cannot wait to see how people manage to twist this to try back up their idiotic claims that we got played and were embarrassed, Soccer Saturday will be enjoyable.
Can see it tomorrow, after all that's been said about players using us... "DE GEA USED MADRID TO GET NEW CONTRACT"

Lets not get ahead of ourselvesBest case scenario - we knock Real out of the Champions League and he realises he's in the right place already
, lets first get those boys from Pool.What's his buyout clause?
What absolutely excellent news!
Get in! I don't care if its for another year or two..we still gave the finger to those twats in madrid.
Don't give a toss what anyone says, we are a bigger club globally and have the most fans. We also will have more spending power than them in the coming years due to the popularity of the prem and the increased money that comes with it.
It sickens me that madrid/barca still negotiate their tv deals separately causing the rest of their league to suffer. If they had to share revenues like we do in the Prem they wouldn't nearly have as much spending power. Even with their individual deals we will soon eclipse their spending power anyways.

Next Perez press conference:
"We always wanted Navas to be number one"
"We always wanted Navas to be number one"
I think so. We'll command a ridiculous fee now and Madrid might not cough it up for a goalkeeper. They barely coughed up the £30m.
Fantastic news to start the weekend.
Brilliant. Here's hoping he's put that silly club out of his mind.
I am not sure what his intentions are because we none of us know of any release clause or verbal agreement. But as you said, it is not a simple one year extension. Signing a 4 year contract is a pretty big sign for me that we will have Madrid by the balls next time they come calling, those cheapskates.
If we stood firm on his price and didn't sell him with a year left on his contract this year, I'll be very surprised if they even bother trying to sign him next season with 4 years left on his contract.
Personally, I think this whole Edurne wanting him in Madrid thing was a method of negotiating through the press in the same way Mendes used Di Maria's burglary to look for a sympathetic response and ease the transfer through. I think De Gea was being wooed by Madrid with promises of his importance to the club as Iker's successor and ultimately when it all failed to go through he has been left realising what a snake Perez is and how little he actually meant to that club. He knows how good he's got it here and made an easy decision.

A number of factors i think. As Jerry Maguire said to Rod Tidwell... "If you get injured, you get nothing". This may have been a factor but it probably wasn't.
I'd assume so. No other reason why he would sign if he wasn't even going to play.
Although in my mind he's just used Real for a new contract
i really hope there was some truth in those "de gea to get 10m if real fail to get him" stories. that would be the cherry on top of the icing on top of the cake.
Absolutely feeling ecstatic. And thinking that just 10 days ago we were almost emailing him away to Spain..this comes totally brilliant news. If he does not start tomorrow LvG is losing the plot. Am sure his mind set is now all pumped up and our defence believe we have a chance of a clean sheet. Wonderful.
p.s. damn, my prediction was 2-1 win, now I want to change it to whatever-nil!!!!
If he's actually staying, then that's our best signing of the summer.
