The Manchester United Thread

Bullshit. It's Real Madrid.

And he is Atletico through and through. More likely to end up at Barca if anything. Though he wont be leaving. It all stems from Jose admiring him, and he's out the door in all likelyhood anyway.
 
Why in gods name would he go to Real. To wait on bench until Casillas retires, which might as well be in 2020 considering Iker barely ever gets injured?

If he was Atletico through and through, he wouldn't have left. Fernando Torres was already Ateltico through and through, but if Madrid came in there is no doubt he'd be more than happy to go.

He has also had some real bad moments at United, not to mention at once stage being dropped for the 2nd keeper.

There is a difference between leaving, and going to a most hated rival. Torres already said he would not join Madrid in an interview 2 years ago. Having said that, players change minds.

But its moot since Jose is on his way out.

Torres also said he's committed to Liverpool and will see his 4 year contract out, before handing in a transfer request a week later.

I read something about Ferguson warning De Gea that if he doesn't start improving he'll be on his way out not long ago as well.

That wasnt Ferguson, he said he needed to improve after that blackburn game, but never said any about the latter. It was a sub editors heading that said De Gea could be out.

There's a significant difference between handing in transfer request when board lies to you about squad improvements and going to biggest rival of your childhood club.

Torres didn't reveal how they 'lied' to him. But if it was for squad improvements then he's full of ****. The board had spent 40 million that season. Either way if he wasn't happy with the board why would he say that he is as committed to Liverpool as we was when he signed his contract last season, before going onto hand in the transfer request a week later.

If Sol Campbell can move from Spurs to Arsenal I'm sure De Gea wouldn't turn down a move to Real Madrid. THE Real Madrid.
 
It's hard to measure that, right? And when you have František Plánička as your rival, you always lose.

That's true, and the likes of Yashin are up there too in terms of pure reflex speed, but personally I think Iker has the edge, just on opinion. Not to mention it's Casillas' longevity and success during Spanish football's greatest ever period gives him the edge as an overall 'keeper.

Funny you should mention Plánička actually, I was watching a compilation video of him on Youtube yesterday. What a keeper.

People often miss the fact that Sol Campbell was and remains a massive *******, quality as a footballer notwithstanding.

Hahaha that is true. Maybe that wasn't the best of examples, but there are many others out there I could name.

There's so many great goalkeepers, it's really hard to say who's better than who. But one thing for sure, Casillas is one of the best.
Tbh, I've never heard of Plánička untill 6-7 years ago, when FIFA made Dvd with World Cup compilation. He broke his arm on one game, and still played that game and kept clean sheet. Amazing stuff.

THE Real Madrid..

Antonio Valencia says he loves Manchester United and confirms he's turned down Real Madrid - Sport Witness
 

On his day Valencia is ****** brilliant and he was phenominal especially second part of last season.

For some reason it seems he has instructions to not take on a man and wait for Rafael to overlap, which is ****** annoying cos he has the beating of most full-backs. I think Fergie just needs to sort this out, it is not a big issue.

He stops the play too much, which allows opposition players to get in to their defensive positions.

I don't think he is fully fit, read he was playing with hip injury and not 100% fit. Can't wait for Nani to be back in the team.
