Unfortunately I think he's going to be sold. And in fact I think we need to either absolutely shut this down or we need to do a deal asap because this is a huge summer for us. We need to make all the right moves and it was already believed we were after 4 players... Well this would make 5 as GK wasn't apparently on that list! And what we don't want to do is miss out on others because we've tried and failed to keep hold of Dave.
If he is going we need the deal for his replacement agreed before he goes because as soon at the DDG fee gets released the price for every keeper will go up.
It needs resolving before the end of July we can't risk starting the season with this cloud still lingering the good news is contractually we're not being forced into any sort of sale and it doesn't sound like there are any release clauses involved. De Gea doesn't strike me as the sort of guy who'd sulk and down tools if he doesn't get what he wants.
I tend to agree that once Madrid decide they want something 9/10 times they get it the 1/10 times they don't is when the fax machine breaks down. Ha Ha!
