Ed do you know of any interest in De Gea from Barca or Real? DDGs gf has said he would like to move to Barca apparently.

Dan {Ed002's Note - I don't.}

It was actually said he would choose barcelona over madrid not that he would like to move anywhere. Understandable from an athletico boy

I have read the quotes from his girlfriend and if they are not doctored then it's clear he wants a move back to Spain in the summer. Personally I think he will go back to AM as they are losing Courtois in the summer and they will have cash to buy him back from selling Arda & Falcao. I then believe we will sign Begovic. I'd much prefer Adler, but Begovic is a safe choice. With Smalling and Evans good with their distribution I think DDG's will not be missed as much.

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - Atletico Madrid has another target in mind Syd.}

Ed002, what do you see happening in the future regarding DDG? Could United solve this issue by swapping Lindegaard for say Begovic and use DDG as a back-up? Surely this could be a solution if it proves difficult to shift DDG?

Sydney! {Ed002's Note - I don't see any such swaps - that just seems like speculation Syd. And would DDG wish to be a "back up" to someone else? The summer will tell.}

Your posts are now massively devalued to me now Syd, DDG as an understudy to Begovic? Begovic is average.. DDG will be 1 of the worlds best.

Patzi

Patzi, I am a fan of DDG, but it seems he wants to go home and it's clear the manager still isn't confident about our goalkeeping position, hence the strong scouting of goalkeepers. What I meant was until DDG made the number one position his own, could we get a more established keeper in to rotate with him until he is ready for the EPL. I think if SAF had confidence in Lindegaard it would be Lindegaard playing now.

Sydney!

Agreed Syd but I think the reason for SAFs lack of confidence in De Gea is because he knows that De Gea will return to Spain soon. He has made mistakes and is a little naive but no one can doubt his ability and SAF can see that talent. He was here for tomorrow but he will always want t5o return to Spain eventually.

Begovic is absolutley average. Sorenson looks better for Stoke.

I think Lindergaard will go and DDG stay. I could see us buying Begovic to play against the more physical teams -Stoke, West Ham etc and DDG to play the majority of games. Of course if DDG does want to return home, there is little we ca do. However, most of the DDG and his GF wanting to return home stuff has been written in the red top rags like the Sun, Mirror etc. As everyone knows they will write anything to sell their rubbish, especially on a day lacking any real news.

Mik

Mik, they were in quotes, so unless they were doctored (which is unlikely), it seems they are waiting to return back to Spain. Of course there would need to be interest from a Spanish team first. Barcelona want Courtois, Atletico want Reina and RM have Casillas so unless Valencia are looking he will have no avenue back home. Malaga couldn't afford him now.

hageland on utd wanted list .he will see his contract out and sign for free in summer .utd need tall centre half in squad with experience .sevilles fazio is another option fergie keeping eye on.

So Smalling is actualy small lol Katef

I was at game today and believe you me he is not utd class his distribution is shocking and utd never buy I repeat buy a centre half that age

You sure you were at the right game. Smalling and Jones did everything asked of them, albeit by Fulham's powderpuff attack.
Mik

Utd never buy old defenders? Blanc was hardly a spring chicken when we bought him.
Walker77

Thats why I said BUY you person lauren blanc was on a free transfer

Hope not he's absolute bobbins.
Raffa

Just to be cheeky - How about Viv Anderson in 87? One of SAF signings.

United have sounded Scott Carson out about a summer move linders is on his way out
Z

LOL, I don't think any of that sentence is true.

Sydney!

It's straight up got it from Scott yesterday not saying he will move as there is a lot more to it than that but he was asked if he would be interested
Z

Ha........ aha.. just stop now please

sounded him out for what? As a steward or a waterboy because he's nowhere near good enough to play. He wasn't good enough for west brom.

What makes me laugh is that if you read the site it's all just what people read in the papers then you get a but if info and people dis it
Not going to get in to the is he good enough as I haven't seen enough of him play lately
Z
