De Gea’s Thoughts on Transfers and United’s New Deal…
David de Gea has kicked off a debate worthy of a World Cup final, questioning whether the transfer window needs a serious overhaul. Manchester United, ever the busy bees, are on the hunt for a worthy successor to the Spanish legend after his 2023 departure. Since leaving, his replacements, Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir, have displayed more slip-ups than an ice rink in summer. But fear not, United fans—hope arrives in the shape of Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp, swooping in for £18.2 million with a contract lengthier than a giraffe’s neck.
As the clock ticks down to the buzzer-beater 7 p.m. deadline, De Gea’s pondering whether the transfer window should end before the first whistle of the season. Chirping from his Twitter perch, he asks, “Should the transfer window close before our season starts or continue as is?” This goalkeeping conundrum comes after De Gea bravely ventured into Italian lands with Fiorentina, where he played sensationally, unlike a spaghetti-armed fellow, leading them to the Europa Conference League semi-finals. On a nostalgic note, his return to Old Trafford for a friendly was as emotional as a soap opera climax, leaving fans in a puddle of memories and possibly their tears.
