De Gea will leave at some point, he said so in his farewell letter to Atletico a few years ago...

“It’s been just over a week since I signed the contract with my new team. It seems like yesterday when I was four and joined for the first time Atleti in Casarrubuelos. From the plane I travel in to join Manchester United I remember with nostalgia, that this nostalgic feeling will be my traveling companion for a long time. Like any child, every evening was accompanied by excitement and my parents (without their support none of this would have been possible) with the sole aim of defending the goal of Calderón someday.”

“A little over a year and a half I completed my dream and sealed it with two titles, I will never forget that feeling, I will never forget the people’s faces painted red and white. I can not forget neither the tears of Barcelona, behind the chants of support for us.”

“Today, 16 years later, I undertake a new challenge with the same enthusiasm of the boy and the eternal gratitude of a feeling, that only we understand, that I will carry forever in my heart regardless of the badge that adorns my chest.”

“I see from the airplane window how I leave behind my house, thanks to my new club for the opportunity it provides me with the security there to finish my education from a distance, that they only put the miles, you are proud of that boy who dreamed that the Calderon would sing his name.”

“A thousand feet above the ground I remember, now more than ever, all the teammates, coaches and club workers who made it possible that the child is now a man.”

“Winning a title there is a mix of smiles and tears. This is what happens to me now, tears because I am leaving , smiles for the illusion of something new, but also the assurance that someday I will return home. Thanks for everything.”

Be grand though, we'll sell him for about £100 million.

He can return home when he's 50.

The Moldy Gowl · 11-10-2014 09:01PM

Yeah because what we say when we are 19 to please people is what we will be thinking a few years later.

The_Kew_Tour · 11-10-2014 09:04PM

Can worry about that at end of season.

Timmyctc · 11-10-2014 09:23PM

I said it a while back, contracts mean f all. Its all about bromances. Get that man tied down into 15 different bromances and he'll still be in nets for us in 15 years time.

Exactly. You are on a permanent contract in work, dosent meant you can't leave.

What?

Lord TSC · 11-10-2014 10:23PM

The Sun's front page has pictures of Valencia with the headline that he's been texting "filthy nude pics to two women".

Rayne Wooney · 11-10-2014 10:33PM

At least we know where his end product has been going now

RobertKK · 11-10-2014 10:43PM

No wonder he has a scowl on his face non stop...

UnitedIrishman · 11-10-2014 10:48PM

Meh.. married millionaire footballer does something wrong. Great to see the guardians of morality 'The Sun' prioritising it over everything else wrong in the world.

The Moldy Gowl · 11-10-2014 10:50PM

Really nice to see a mid table club who are finished being able to get a squad player on the main page.

So that's what they call front page material? Bloody hell! I love to see the end of that gutter paper some day

RobertKK · 11-10-2014 11:07PM

I believe he shares it with a Conservative politician who is guilty of a similar offense.

Tyler Blackett to get a new contract for £50k. Madness considering only played 6 games for Man U. This sums young English players who get too much too soon.

Could go either way. I think he's looked promising but is 50k practical at this stage of his career?

Personally, if I was in late teens and offered 50k a week, I wouldn't have much motivation to keep pushing myself.

It seems VG has picked Blackett as an important part of our defence since day one. He has been brought in and has done well. He was on £2k a week and £50k is around the average for the defenders we have so they must have decided to pay him according to that.

I know he's young and only starting his career with us but I imagine he feels he should be paid the same amount as other players he is playing beside. I don't think they would want to treat him poorly considering he's been at the club all his career (youth) and we are quite strapped at CB atm.

And the end of the day though wages really concern the board and shareholders more than the fans. If we have the money to pay the wages and it keeps them here and gets us results so be it.

EDIT: Just on the too much too soon thing, really depends on the persons character, being a local lad who has come up through the ranks I imagine he wants to go down in United history so hopefully money and fame won't go to his head and he can have a successful career with us. Only time will tell

Christy Browne · 12-10-2014 12:22AM

There's no way that figure is true. This thread is ridiculous, the Daily Mail is treated as gospel if they report on something negative about the club yet if they post an article saying something positive it is picked apart and called unreliable. It's a worthless rag, simple as.

Larry Wildman · 12-10-2014 05:48AM

What's equally ridiculous is that the people who are moaning about Blackett (allegedly) getting £50k a week are the same people who would be moaning about the club not doing enough if Blackett was allowed to leave a la Pogba and then blossomed.

It's not our money and there's bucketloads of it. Who cares whether Tyler Blackett gets 2, 20 or 50 grand a week? The guy has played in the majority of this season's games for the world's biggest club...I reckon his true value in today's market is a lot closer to 50k a week than 2k.

Lord TSC · 12-10-2014 08:06AM

IF 50k is true, it doesn't bother me that much. It's pretty much the going rate for teenagers in the top teams around the first team.

If it's true. I'd imagine it might be one of those "potentially 50k" deals where chunks of it is based on appearances, preformances, etc, as opposed to a base 50k.

This was how Cleverley's deal was set up apparently. Makes the most sense.

Surely he would have taken the safe option and sent them to Rafael:pac:

The_Kew_Tour · 12-10-2014 09:53AM

Valencia in front page of The Sun apparently doing the dirt on his wife.

Did not read it or could not care but did laugh that in pics he could not even give hint of smile.

I heard he stopped and turned around at the last second.Once more a lack of delivery into the box from him.

Quandary · 12-10-2014 11:33AM

I think we should trust LVG when it comes to his handling of the young players like Blackett. The man has a colossal amount of experience developing the younger lads and if he feels Blackett is good enough to warrant the reported wages then fair enough IMO.

That is of course if the DM article is actually true

RobertKK · 12-10-2014 11:50AM

Vidal to United rumours persist, he was fined £78,400 by his club for an altercation on a night out and wants out now according to Corriere dello Sport.
They say United during the summer were offering £47 million for Vidal, but the chances of deal would be increased if we sold them Mata.

I am resigned to the likelihood that Juan Manual Mata Garcia will be sold. He is one of my favourite players.

Lord TSC · 12-10-2014 11:55AM

I'll be devastated when Mata goes

I could just about tolerate Kagawa, but Mata too?

Hopefully idle talk to fill column inches.
