Zatman Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 New Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea was let off with a warning after being nabbed stealing a doughnut in Tesco. The 20-year old Spaniard was caught on CCTV cameras pinching an original glazed doughnut, worth around €1.39, from a Krispy Kreme shelf in the Tesco store in Altrincham, Manchester. De Gea ate the donut while still in the store, but as he went to exit, he was accosted by security staff – one of whom spoke fluent Spanish – and brought into a ‘stop and search room’, where he was later released without charge. A source told The Sun that de Gea waltzed into the Tesco store with two Spanish pals and said that he was “deeply embarrassed” by his jammy mistake. “They weren’t very subtle. They swaggered in chatting loudly in Spanish,” said the source. “The security guards who monitor the CCTV watched two of them take a doughnut each out of the Krispy Kreme cabinet. “Incredibly, they then appeared to try to leave without paying – or buying anything else for that matter.” A Tesco source added: “A customer was spoken to by our security team and the issue was resolved.” De Gea has enjoyed a far from sugar-coated start to his Manchester United career and rather than establishing himself as an authoritative presence in the United defence, it seems as if he has been merely filling a hole in the United rearguard so far. Opposition teams have been targeting the callow De Gea in the Premier League and they will be licking their lips at the prospect of heaping further misery on him after this tasty episode. Interestingly, the Spaniard is said to get his sticky fingers on around €80,000 per week, which by our calculations, would buy him around 57,554 Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Many observers have felt that De Gea has looked like a bit of a jammy dodger in his short United career to date; now they have irrefutable evidence to back it up. http://www.joe.ie/football/football-news/doh-united-keeper-nabbed-for-stealing-doughnut-in-tesco-0016285-1
theunderstudy Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Steals a doughnut.... so is dropped and replaced with a Danish.
villa4europe Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Not at all more a case of slow news day, how many people do you see in tesco walking round drinking a bottle of pop or eating a bag of crisps before scanning the empty packet? He's eaten a donut as he's gone round then either forgot or been collared before getting a chance to pay The fact that this made the front page says way way more about what the sun considers news than it does about de gea or footballers

In fact, all the mongs who walk around Tescos eating or drinking things they've yet to pay for need shooting IMO. Bit harsh maybe, but it's not a **** restaurant.
