Whatever happens with De Gea it would be incredibly stupid to let him go for free. I can't believe we have come to a situation where it honestly looks as if that will actually end up happening..
Agreed but i also think we need to start calling out the players.
In the long run the ‘winner’ in any cut price deal would be DDG & his representatives.
We see these players, once sometimes twice a week for 90 minutes so I’m always hesitant to make remarks about their intentions but his performances have regressed massively & he’s had an offer in front of him for a year [plus maybe], if his intention isn’t to sign he should categorically say so.
In this instance I’m not going to berate the club. They have an asset & have been forward with a contract offer for some time; withdrawing the offer isn’t a realistic option so it’s peft out there whilst the asset doesn’t accept or refuse allowing himself to benifit.
We are a shambles of an operation but these players are getting away with murder - he’s been at the club for years & performed admirably for the majority so if he wants to leave there’s very little animosity but he’s dragging his feet & doing more damage to the club than good in this instance.
