De Gea

[LosgallardosWolf]

Probably talking out my **** but a free agent, would he come ( probably not) and is he better than Sa ( probably). Just putting my head above the parapet.

 

[JadeWolf]

Wages would make it a no go. Gets a lot of stick from Utd fans but on his day he’s a top keeper. Bit like Sa really.

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Yes. Yes you are.

 

[StaffordWolf]

£375k a week.

 

[SuperGran]

No no no

 

[Skrilla]

He will know he will have to take a significant wage cut at his next club, so I think it is more possible than some would think, especially with the Julen factor (De Gea was his #1 as Spain manager). No team is going to pay him what he's earning at United, and the rumours were that if he was to stay he'd have had to take a significant pay cut anyway.

The concern is that he's quite error prone and that's the reason why Man United are moving on. I'd prefer Bounou or Henderson personally, but as there's no transfer fee involved it wouldn't be a bad gamble to take. Is he genuinely better than Sa? I'm not sure, on current form.

Didn’t he agree to a pay cut and then United withdrew the offer?

Keep your tin hat on.

Was waiting for someone to suggest this. You get the prize

Mate, this is the daftest thread we've ever had. Would he come: not a chance. Is he better than Sa (even a couple of years past his peak): hahaha of course! We'd have to sell half the team to afford his wages.

 

[TriumphWolf]

Didn’t he agree to a pay cut and then United withdrew the offer?

Yes, although I have not seen any article stating what the lower terms that he accepted were.

As an aside, regardless of how you regard his goalkeeping Manchester United’s conduct in not countersigning the contract which had been prepared by them and offered to De Gea ranks amongst the biggest examples of unprofessionalism I have seem for a considerable time.

We are selling half the team……..

It’s up there with Ruddy going in to sign his new contract only to be to told it was withdrawn!

 

[Skrilla]

Didn’t he agree to a pay cut and then United withdrew the offer?

Yes, I think they wanted to offer him even less. I don't think wages would be a problem, just a question of whether the club think he's an upgrade on Sa. Julen, as a goal keeper, and having coached him, may have a decent say on that...

He's been in very poor form for them mate, there's a reason why they haven't resigned him at even a vastly reduced contract. Where else do you think he'll go?

 

[WickedWolfie]

Yup

£375k a week.

this highlights what some people don’t seem to fully appreciate. 375 k a week is 19.5 million a year …over 3 years that is 58.5 million….even on a free.

that is why top players can often go on a free because their salary cost takes up their full value making their contract of no value. For most players before they have reached their peak ability and their peak salary there may be further value in the contract.more and more players are realizing that transfer fees are really part of their salary that they left on the table.when everybody is paid their full market salary everybody would transfer on a free.

most United players like de gea and McGuire are overpaid and need a pay cut even to go on a free.

 

[lostwolf]

He's been in very poor form for them mate, there's a reason why they haven't resigned him at even a vastly reduced contract. Where else do you think he'll go?

True. Probably Italy. He's been in average form for a while now, agreed, but that wasn't my point. He's still better than Sa and he's never coming coming to us. So the OP was saft at best.

At least they told him it was no longer available before he signed it!

£375k a week.

It would just about be ok if we knocked the 3 on the front off.

One bit of De Gea which is nothing like Sa is he is brilliant with his feet as good as anybody in the world.

and the 7 in the middle LOL. 5k should be enough for anyone's weekly wage, I blame Johnny Haynes,

geoff Hurst made 45 pounds a week when england won the World Cup in 1966…it was more than doubled because he discovered thiat Bobby Moore got 120.

money started to flow in from television and players became superstars.

once FFP ties salaries to the club revenues the disparities will become very clear as a club like manure has approximately three times the revenue of wolves and can therefore pay three times as much as wolves for every position. The days of competing for top players with the big six are long gone

that was a small fortune back then, most pro players were on about £10.00 above the average wage,
My wages in 1966 were under a fiver for 5 1/2 days work, ( as an apprentice) but the full wages would be still under £10.00 for the same hrs,

 

[Oldvic161]

Could we get him in for a season on a 3 year deal then sell him after 1 for £20m?

Tbh I can think of a fewer dafter posts and while I’m on it I got banned for disagreeing with b someone accused of trolling

messed them around delaying, so they withdrew the offer. Can't see he'll be bothered really, he can always join the Saudi gravy train and he's 32.
