Next season probably in either the league or Capital One cup.

A lot of the papers seem to be pushing the line that De Gea will look to leave, if Van Gaal stays for another year.
However, there appears to be a suggestion that it might just be a bit of muscle-flexing, by Jorge Mendes, in an effort to pressure the club into appointing Mourinho. I'm certainly no Mendes fan, but if it results in De Gea staying and Mourinho in the big chair, I'm all for it. |

There's also a story in one of the papers about how Mourinho will start talking to PSG if nothing's sorted with United in the next couple of weeks.
Again, no doubt all part of the game by Mendes. No chance of him going there. |

He got bored playing two high profile games a season whilst at Real Madrid, so why would he go to PSG, where if they only win the league by a gap of 20 points that is considered a failure?
No chance of him going there. |

He's not exactly got a reputation for ignoring a big money offer
And going to PSG would be doing just that, as that is one team league. |

Silly season has started before the Premier League season has even finished I see!
There's every chance that there's at least some truth in it, especially as it's being run by multiple outlets. |

Why would that story be classed as 'silly season'?
There's every chance that there's at least some truth in it, especially as it's being run by multiple outlets. As for this one in particular, well we have already had loads written about it last summer, I would have thought that his new deal that he signed would have put some of this to bed, but I guess not. Lets wait and see, if he were to leave, and that is still a huge, gigantic if, then I would want us to be compensated as fairly as possible, and since he is in the top two or three keepers in the world, then a fee should match that, none of this £30-40 million nonsense, it should be way higher than that, if not double that. Whomever we would be trying to get to replace him, would not be as good as him, that much is for sure. |

You don't seem to realise that goalkeepers aren't valued as highly as attacking players. There is absolutely no way that we'd get £80m for De Gea. |

£70-80m for De Gea... Ridiculous!

If I was De Gea, faced with no CL football and the prospect of working with Van Gaal for another year, then I'd be looking to go too.

Whomever we would be trying to get to replace him, would not be as good as him, that much is for sure. The 'huge gigantic if'. End of the season DDG wants to leave and is actually seconds away from going because (a) he wants to play for Real a lot (b) he wants to move back there (c) his girlfriend wants to move back there with him. Literally the only single thing that stopped it was a fax machine and nothing else. He didn't change his mind, he didn't realise Manchester was for him it was purely down to the fax machine. Imagine standing at the alter about to get married and the vicar keels over and dies. No one changed their mind or realised they were in love with a random porn star it was purely down to a circumstance. They're still very much in love but are just waiting for a new vicar to restart the service. |

Firstly the fee - to expect £80m for a goalkeeper is quite possibly the most bonkers thing you've put on here and let's be honest you've covered some ground!!

As we are talking the very highest elite of the elite goalkeepers here, and make no mistake De Gea is in that very high end bracket. Getting "only" £30-40million for De Gea would be selling him on the cheap, and if that were to be the range of figures that he went for, then I for one would feel not only sad that he left us, but also that we sold him below value. |

There's no point in having this conversation, as you have proven time and time again that you can't grasp how these things work.

There is absolutely no way that we'd get £80m for De Gea. We should be looking to get as much as possible for De Gea, as he is in the very elite bracket of goalkeepers, and as such, we should be looking for a price to reflect that. |

There is all of that, but he did sign a new long-term contract with us, lets not forget about that, so he must have wanted to stay with us, as what would be the point in signing it, if he wanted out of the club?

I think I'm right in thinking his contract was at the end or about to end - did you expect him to sit at home and post on DS all day? And as everyone has pointed out anything above £30-40m is ridiculous. |

AS have said today that he has a release clause of 50m euros (about £40m) but that it expires on June 15 to avoid the late rush happening again.

De Gea isn't going to be available on the open market though. There will be no competitive bidding for him. United would get only what Real Madrid are willing to pay. Or much more likely, what they have already agreed they would pay, if they still want to buy him this Summer.
Let's see what happens, as if Real do want him, send with a long-term contract with us, we should up the price if they really do want him. |

Changing tack for a moment, I thought that Schweinsteiger was out until next season, but it seems as if he is in Germany's Euro squad.
