David De Gea to sign 4 year contract at United

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...-david-3123150

Should get at least what we paid for him then

Great news. this means we'll get even more money for him from Barcelona in the summer.

he should see out moyesie's reign of terror then.

Hopefully he will only need a two year deal for that

Very disappointing news. Can't wait to see the back of him.

Great to see Dave commiting his future to the club. He won't be going anywhere.

Barcelona are signing Ter Stegen. And if not him, someone else. They're admirers of Big Dave, but aren't looking to sign him anytime soon. He might end up there when he's 30-32.

Hasn't Stegen signed a pre-contract with Barca?

Barcelona are getting him for free?

Dave is superb, but he really needs a settled central defence ahead of him.

Hopefully Jones becomes a regular, but I think we need an experienced signing to come in the summer when Vidic leaves.

Fergie's best sides were built on the triangle of goalkeeper/centre-back/centre-back, with Schmeichel/Bruce/Pallister, Schmeichel/Stam/Johnson and the strongest of the lot which was Edwin/Rio/Vidic.

Our current side has nowhere near that quality of foundation. De Gea has established himself as number 1, but the centre-back partnership is a complete mess. Moyes will get it right though; the best thing about his Everton sides was the defensive stability, and Martinez has benefited from that with the Howard/Distin/Jagielka unit that Moyes built.

Agreed with the last part. But I don't think Evans is good enough, therefore we really need a top name CB to play all the games for us. Jones or Smalling can be the other in the pairing - won't be that tough as either get injured a lot.
