Why does the title say 5 years and the OP and BBC say 4?

- Thread starter Pexbo

Unless he deliberately fecked up the Madrid move (Which I still hope he did), then Woody hasn't really done anything here has he?
If it weren't for that mistake he'd be gone and we'd have been left without.
Don't see how he wont start him, van Gaal is not an idiot
Personally, I never bought that whole Edurne thing. Always thought it was a silly excuse. Doubt a professional footballer will let his gf decide where he should be playing next.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA GTFIN....Woody you beautiful basta'd.
I feel like I did on Christmas Eve when I was 10 and still believed in Santa...
Can't wait for the Stretty atmosphere tomorrow

Lets face it, all that matters is 2/2 on the ddg polls xD
True, but its a good feck up
A big feck you to Real Madrid. Love it.
As for Perez, I hope he stands on a piece of Lego bare-footed. Mug.

This clause would seem to be messing DDG's mind about though... haha...
Isn't it a 4 year deal? Till 2019??
I reckon he was probably given an ultimatum of 'sign the contract or don't play', and with the Euros approaching he couldn't afford to be sitting on the bench. But whatever, it's superb news for us.
Why care about the clause, we had lost him this year so this is all a bonus
Oh!! With an optional 1 year extension
Option for a 5th
David de Stayer!
Its 4 years with an optional 5th year, think quite a few of our contracts with the younger players are similar.
4 year with an option for a further year.
Mad how Ramos used us to get a new contract so David did the same to them because he bleeds red and loves us so much.

Cheers!!!
I mean, the cherry on top has to be that Madrid will have destabilised their relationship with their own keeper in the process of trying to buy ours, whereas we always wanted DDG to stay.
Footballers can be super fickle sometimes; feeling wanted is a massive part of that.
Will Madrid fans and Perez now claim, DDG used Madrid to get a new contract extension?! 
Awesome news. Never would have thought he would stay here. Really happy about this.
A lot of us owe an apology to Woodward. Never in my wildest dreams did I see De Gea signing an extension.
Whether it was by plan or not, we've kept our best player for the forseeable future. That's something we didn't manage to do with Ronaldo (and we also lost out on Bale).
Times are changing. I like the fact that Woodward and co. aren't afraid of anyone in the transfer market. We should rightly be at the top of the food chain. We only sell players we want to sell.

Increased wages for the season, appeases the fans and the security if he gets an injury.
So, how much are getting for him in the summer?
I think that's probably true. Either way it'll be hilarious if Madrid get a transfer ban or even better- De Gea just changes his mind and tells Madrid to feck off.
Fantastic news! He is our best player, and now everything is set in order for him to have a great season with us 
But we did sell him, the papers were signed for crying out loud
I agree. Of course, this came about almost by dumb luck. But we shouldn't forget that Woodward is very close with Mendes and that may have helped to smooth the process after the window closed.
They was saying on TalkSport last night on drive, that we had agreed to backpay him for last season also?
Would be an £8m signing on bonus if this is true

We should start working on his next contract now or sell him next summer if he doesn't sign one. We can't let it get down to one year again. #CafLogic
The rumors are that Jorge Mendes told him to sign it after falling out with Perez.
De Gea needs stability going forward, especially if he wants to play in the Euros for Spain.
He couldn't afford LVG doubting his place as the starter for this year after the deal fell through.
Plus, he'd have lost a big packet of money by running out his old deal.

Why is your day potentially crappy if you don't mind me asking?
yessssssssss indeed. The best news since last two seasons to be honest. So so happy
Except la liga which is usually won by their biggest rivals.
And when they come up against mighty Ed.
Lolmadrid.
