I love how Bayern is exactly not doing what so many smartass supporters are claiming. Lacazette, Griezmann, Markovic, etc.

Well, mistakes can be made but it's whether we learn in time for the Utd game

Di Maria's body turned up anywhere yet?
France I'm assuming. There were some tweets about a medical and that this is week even though they've been saying it forever now. Di Maria and De Gea are out and Pedro in is how I see it before Tottenham. Anything else will take place close to the deadline.
I think we were gonna sell all along, we just tried to play chicken and get Ramos or more money out of Madrid.

Would rather let De Gea go on a free.

You gain nothing in doing this and it's just bad business.
He's clearly not happy, putting out shite performances and you'll get good money for him to reinvest in another keeper or other areas of the squad. I think if you get 30m for him you'd be in a better overall position if you spent most of that on a world class defender and then sought out a "solid" keeper (not necessarily De Gea/ Neuer/ Courtois class). Remember, we went a season unbeaten with Lehmann in goal and then set an all time champions league clean sheet record with him in goal a couple of years later. He wasn't world class at the time but he was solid and dependable.
Just be thankful that you are selling him overseas and not to a rival I'm the premiership (like we did with RVP). It's a horrible situation, I know, but it's better that the club make a logical decision rather than an emotional one.
Yeah. It's intresting. And maybe for the better in the end. I wonder who is still coming or if Pep said: "Fuck it, that's my squad."
There is no way Madrid will pay 30m for De Gea when they can wait 12 months and get him for nothing when they already have Navas there with the #1 shirt.
I don't think he's going to let this bother him, but we'll have to see what happens if he stays for the season or not.
But I can't see Gaal being so stupid as to let Woowoo dick around and ruin pre season prep by letting De Gea go with a week to go before the season starts and not have a replacement around, unless Valdes stays for some reason. To my mind it would have been simple, either they buy him before say July 15th or they don't. He's so anal about making sure everything else is set right for training and stuff that this just seems weird.
We can afford to let him go on a free with the new Adidas deal and the new TV stuff for next year. If we are happy to burn money on Di Marias transfer/wages and Falcaos wages for a season, not taking £20m for De Gea now and letting him go for nothing if he can offer 12 months of stability in goal would be worth it.
Its also not exactly easy to just go an nick a world class CB. The press have just been shouting Ramos and Otamendi all summer but who knows what's actually going on.
The oddity for me right now is that Valdes is still there. Thought that would have been wrapped up by now after Gaals comments on tour.
I think Vidal is the missing link. We played every team in europe to the ground but were not able to handle simple counters because of a slow midfield that lacked being aggressive in counter pressing. If we get a talented winger I'd be happy but the squad is when nobody is injured unstoppable. The return to 433 might help too.

I've only seen him play once (Casilla) and that was against Alemania. How good is he actually ?
I think he's very good and he's still young for a gk. He made some fantastic saves against bacca the other day.
I think statistically he was the second best gk in la liga last season and had the most saves.
Edit I was partly right I just checked. There was only one gk who had more saves than kiko and that was the Eibar keeper.
Out of 157 shots on goal he saved 108 that's nearly 50 shots more than Diego alves and Ikes Casillas received.
And 70 more than Claudio bravo. Despite that his goals received percentage was good enough for 9th playing behind arguably one of the worst defensive lines in la liga
Nope you are wrong on this. Casilla is not even close to Navas or DDG.
Casilla is 29. That is not young. And he is 100% worse than Casillas or Navas. Worse than Navas, even after Navas being one year on the bench.
AC Milan managed to shoot 10 times on the penalty shoot out against him and he only stopped one (the 16 year old GK from Milan).
The statistics speak for themselves. Worse than iker? Lol
29 is not young for a goalkeeper? Ok tell that to every goalkeeper that blossomed in his 30s
The fact that you pointed out a penalty shootout to measure kiko casilla performance and not his two one on one stops on bacca is ridiculous. Please use facts and not opinions
29 is not young, you just cant argue this man.
Not every GK is Buffon, or else Casillas would still be with us.
David de Gea is way way better than what we have now and he's coming home next season for free.
Van Der star, Kahn, buffon, Friedel, lehmann I can go on and on about goalkeepers who played much better in their mid 30s
So Kiko Casilla is the new Buffon, Kahn or Lehmann.
Incredible, lets not even try to get DDG for free next season. Casilla is 29 and about to enter his legendary years.
You are insane if you think Casilla is better than Navas and batshit crazy if you think Navas is better than DDG.
I stated 29 years of age for a goalkeeper is young, because statistics back that up. Not once did I say he was at their level or better.
Is Casilla better than Navas? No but it's close and that's great for competition. There is absolutely no need for de gea and the only reason he wants to come to Madrid is because of his gf as its well published here in the Spanish papers.
De geas home is in Manchester if he wants to come back go to atletico we don't need him.

Benteke #9 then, lovely
I always believed in Pep and I'm glad my trust is finally vindicated. Can't believe some of you didn't want to sign Vidal. Those people are looking *pretty* foolish right now.

If nobody needs Casilla, make him an Englishman and let him play for England.
Save your sarcasm for the day when Klopp takes over Bayern and brings in Reus. That day I'll become an Arsenal supporter.
Don't do this to yourself, you've so much left to give.
Yeah these are great contract extensions.
Theo can be frustrating but if he stays injury free, he'll be devastating heading into his prime years now.
Santi is just our cuddly little magician who deserved his extension after being a consistent performer for us since day 1.
Glad those Athletico rumors can die now.
What? Sarcasm? Me? Never. I am genuinely happy that we signed a model citizen like Vidal and I cannot wait to see Pep's brilliant plan unfold. Klopp? Reus? Have faith in Pep.
Joking aside, I'm actually somewhat optimistic if he really plays Lahm as fullback.

This post is so bad that it makes me cringe. Hard.

Hopefully Santi had mandatory HR training in his contract to deal with that thigh grabbing obsession of his.

It's hard to interpret what Guardiola said considering how broken his German still is.
The fact that he doesn't plan to sign a new contract anytime soon is rather telling, though. I'd bet on leaving.
