    Sure United have done what Madrid did with De Gea loads if time. They even ended up paying more for Berbatov so Spurs wouldn’t report them to the league for tapping a player up.

    neenee, I have no doubt in my mind that if Real pay he’ll go. But Real have to pay. That’s why United fans are happy. A lot of us were willing to let him go for nothing next year just to have him for another year. Now we are guaranteed that that will not happen.

    why didn’t they just offer the 40 million during the summer and not wait until the last few hours and then not bother submitting the paperwork before the deadline. 80% of Real Madrid fans polled on deadline day said they did not want DeGea at the club. this may have changed The Reals Boards minds and DeGeas mind. it was only last week most were saying he would never sign a new contract with United but here we are. nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes at these clubs.

    United fans were deluding themselves if they thought he was signing a new contract to stay long term. It was only to specify the exact fee he would be allowed leave for. Similar to Ronaldo and Suarez. He’ll be gone next summer.

    well considering so many football geniuses on here insisted he would never sign a new contract and hold out for the massive sign on fee in January. I’m not saying he is going to stay for the 4 years on his contract but a lot changes in football in one year. what if Navas has the season of his life? Will Madrid want to piss of the fans by buying a new keeper, what if DeGeas form dips or has a poor Euro 2016. Chelsea had the best defence in the league 6 months ago and are getting ripped apart at the moment and have the worst defensive record in the league. as I said a lot changes in football in a few months.

    I don’t know about that, there is talk that Madrid didn’t pay the money because they didn’t have it. Over the past few years they have tended to have to sell players to fund buying players.
