The Manchester United Thread

Reality of the situation which I was pointing out is: -

IF player wants to leave to go to Madrid.

Madrid offers big money.

=

Our only real option is to sell him. Not saying he wants to or Madrid are interested (although I only thought it was a matter of time before they came knocking).

But I believe his girlfriend does still live in Spain so in some ways, this story would make sense.

However it doesn't worry me too much, as a keeper can be replaced.

Money is not a problem for ManUtd.

And re your last point, yeah it worked really well between Great Dane's exit and VDS signing.
 
I know its supposed to be for promotion, I just don't see how it can possibly work. I'm not gonna go and buy the book when I know the press already milked everything that was interesting in it.

Also, Keane is many things, but dull and uninteresting he is not.

I was talking generally, so the "dull and uninteresting" would refer to somebody like KP and his new bullshit book, not necessarily Keane.

And tbh, you can't argue with the way they promote these autobiographies, it does work. It might not work for you or me, but it gets people talking about it [i.e RIGHT NOW] and is a much better form of advertising than a TV advert. Not to mention the fact that tabloids ******* love having headlines like "KEANO: FERGIE IS A ****" etc. etc.

Really? You think professional football is overflowing with world-class keepers or something? God no. You should be thanking your lucky stars you have a keeper like De Gea.

No not world-class but there is plenty of good keepers out there who could do a job.

My point was if RM came knocking with money and he wanted to go we wouldn't have barely a leg to stand on.

Why let a player who could be a long-standing keeper for years to come leave, with top-class potential, and replace him with someone "who could do a job"?

More than likely De Gea could do an even better job than them, for longer.
 
Oh dear just seen the goal against Spain. How is De Gea behind Casillas is beyond me.

Both goals were laughable. Don't know what's going on with Casillas. He's playing like he's 50.

I guess mileage matters more in football then age. He has more games under his belt then some people have at 40.

Calm down, I said I wouldn't worry too much actually.

You guys keep missing my point and maybe you're just reluctant to accept the truth which I've stated again and again.

IF Real Madrid come calling and De Gea wants to go, the reality is that it's a matter of when not if.

we get your point but its not like cr7 he allways said he wanted to play at real some day de gea is something else he has played for the team of his dreams now hes at the biggest club inthe world cant see it myself
 
Aye he is a big personality but a total nutcase and not in a good way either. He makes Suarez look like an angel

How are they even comparable? If this is the case then terry makes them both look like the greatest humans on earth.

LOL. Terry may be a cheating racist scumbag and Suarez may go around biting strangers but I think tackling someone so hard and that it ends that guys career and boasting about it ever since is pretty comparable no? Oh and celebrating when one player had a heart attack. Roy is a hard man certainly

Nonetheless, I forsee this becoming a circular argument so I am going to stop. Both are idiots in their own way but I am just hugely annoyed by how Keane can't even apologize for his horror tackle and still goes around acting like a tough man. Good player, useless manager and a vile human being. ******* *****

***** he is not, shocking challenge yes but i've seen far far worse. Keane is just honest plain and simple but probably can't let some things go and possibly holds vendettas but aleast he isn't an underhand scumbag or **** like many in football today.
 
Can we stop with the rubbish theory that it ended Haalands career? It didnt. He suffered an injury to his OTHER knee that put him out.

Wait people actually think keane ended his career? He played the next week ffs.
 
Why does it matter if Keane apologizes, exactly ? Suarez keeps apologizing for biting people, and the next day he's right back at it. The same goes for pretty much every violent player ever. Just because they stand in front of the camera and act like they care to protect their precious advertising deals, doesn't somehow make it okay.

Keane's a ****, but at least he's honest ****. And that's why a lot of people with different club loyalities still respect him, even though he is obviously batshit insane. He's a blast from the past from a different era of football, when people would say what they mean and young players didn't go through extensive PR training before they even learn to tie their shoes.

Ahhh I forgot about that, still doesn't make what Keane did any better

Ohhh so he purposely goes out to injure people. He is happy when someone suffers a hear attack. But yeah he is honest so suddenly everything is jolly and good now

Keane is an idiot who thinks he is a hard man but is just an insecure ***** who can't handle that he is completely irrelevant now. Probably explains why he loves to take a go at everyone from SAF to Savage for hilarious reasons

Wow. So someone goes and tackles another guy and injures him in retaliation for an incident that happened years ago. Then spends the next decade boasting about what a hard man he is. No hint of remorse for his actions. Don't want to apologise? Fine but at least shut the **** up instead of going around acting like a tough nut

I agree that Keane says what he means except 99% of the stuff he says is nonsense

He had a grudge with haaland other than that, name or find me proof when keane has pureposely hurt or injured someone.

And way to twist my words i said he was honest yes but i never made him out to be this nice guy, you plum.

He might be insecure but nothing wrong with that as i think most of us are about something or another. I think he will always be relevant as one of the greats in the premier league.
