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.”
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!!
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.
