They didn't want to sell him, and those terrorists come that morning to perform a massive, complicated (with another player throw-in), transaction in a matter of a few hours.

They can get ####ed.

I'm not following your point. No one is saying they did anything wrong.

But the same can be said of de Gea. What has he done wrong? All he has done is not signed a new contract. He's not breaking a contract, just not signing a new one. The issue of sale has always been about the valuation.

Sorry about that.
I meant, Spanish media-puppeteers are saying United is either; incompetent with their transaction process of a player transfer and/or they didn't act in good faith.

And then Perez admits that he was in contact with de Gea a year ago? that cheat should be charged with tapping up by UEFA, but of course they won't.

The English clubs should start seriously pushing back on those terrorists.

I'm enjoying calling them terrorists by the way.

Terroristas.

heh

Glad the FA changed their minds on this

Spurs and Chelsea can ground share Wembley for a season (Chelsea will need to be there for two), there's also a way around the limit of events allowed there because it's only for when they sell over 50k tickets

Seems reasonable. What about West Ham though?

You'd make a mint!

Looks like De Gea is indeed about to sign a new contract. Mendes was already in Manchester today, contract talks are under way. Will be interesting to see the details once it's done, but I wouldn't be against including a release clause.

Hopefully he'll play on Saturday.

Which is perfect, he plays for a year (or 6 months or whatever) and then you get some money out of Terrorist Madrid for him later.

Yep. Apparently Ronaldo signed a contract with United the year before he left.

So all in all, this scenario actually turned out better than I expected.

Bend those terrorists over for $70m?

he actually didn't sign a new contract then, he was still under contract until 2010 at the time. It was more of a gentlemen's agreement between him and Ferguson that he'd stay for one more season and then get his transfer.

$70m would be around €62m ... sounds about right in my opinion.

Oh you're right, my bad.

Thinking about this some more, United should sign de Gea to $350k/week

I don't trust Rooney saying all this nice stuff about Kane the last few weeks....

[devo22]

United announced De Geas contract extension today at exactly 12:00. A+ trolling.

David De Gea has signed a new four-year contract with Manchester United, keeping him at Old Trafford until at least 2019. There is an option to extend it for a further year.

well there were rumours earlier this summer that Rooney apparently pushed hard behind the scenes because he wants United to sign Kane. Don't think it'll happen though, honestly.

[cam_wmh]

LVG wouldn't say if de Gea is in or out tomorrow vs Pool.

The good news, is Carrick is fit.

My 11

Rooney
Memphis Fellaini Young
Schneider Carrick
Shaw Rojo Smalling Darmian
de Gea


Fellaini gives cbs headaches and both young and shaw are good at running the line and raining in crosses.

Looks like Courtois has to go in for knee surgery. Selling Cech doesnt seem so brilliant now does it?
