De Gea Contract Situation

Imagin the meltdown if United failed to get paperwork done for a Real player they'd chased all summer. In no way would we see 1 post blaming Real, it'd all be on United. De Gea has been very badly advised by his agent & Real really dropped a massive clanger. Very embarrassing for Real I wonder how Marca will go about spreading some shite to shift the blame elsewhere.
Nope. According to the Grauniad, Madrid didn't lodge a formal bid until the last 24 hours of the window. Their first and only bid. It's why United officials were so irritated with them and why it's satisfying to see their brinkmanship bite them on their arse.
Of course. It's them that wanted to sell a player as part of the deal. We wanted cash. The onus was on them to convince the player (and us) that part exchange was a good idea, clearly.
You're having a shocker here.
You seem to be looking from the perspective "Utd are desperate to get rid of De Gea and somehow get Keylor with it"
I am looking from the perspective "Utd are happy with De Gea staying one more year and don't need Keylor"
The Caf would have crashed...forever.
No, De Gea is at £30M, which is near our valuation of him, and we're then using £8M of that to buy Navas.
So the reports that Van Gaal insisted on Navas are made up? Is that what you are saying?
He was always available for the right deal. So you say United are to blame for Real pissing about until the final day of the window? Go figure that.... Some people
Correct.
And the reason for that is, no other club would sell us their keeper at this stage. Certainly not for less than 20m.
so you are saying we didnt want a new keeper?
So the reports that Real Madrid's first bid for De Gea was only late yesterday is made up. Is that what you are saying?
Us insisting on Navas was absolutely the most sensible thing to do. Which other club would sell us a good keeper yesterday?
how this feck are united at fault? any excuse to bash the board, lvg, woodward and the tea lady.
i bet it's the same cnuts who have spent all summer demanding we not give in to real as well. i don't think it takes a huge leap of faith to see what's happened.
we told real all along it's £30m or he stays. i think de gea knew that which is why he wasn't kicking up a stink. he knew the price, obviously thought it was fair and expected real to sort the rest.
real decided to wait, thinking we'd blink first and get rid of him for a lot less as we wouldn't want an unhappy player stinking the place out for a year, especially one we could get some relatively decent cash for. they finally realised we were actually willing to keep him if they didn't bid 30m and gave us what we wanted, we accepted but they couldn't get their own house in order in time to complete it. they've managed to annoy ubited, de gea and navas in one fell swoop.
if any of you honestly think we'd deliberately fax something off to the wrong number or instead of the signed deal we sent fifa a single a4 piece of paper with the outline of ed's wanger on it, then you have a screw loose. no way would we deliberately sabotage it at the last minute. what would we gain out of it? keeping an even more upset de gea, losing £30m, looking like fools and putting any clubs off dealing with us in future in the process?
if you truly believe any of that then give up supporting us as obviously absolute idiots are in charge of the club and we'll soon sell all our players and turn the ground into a sea side pier.
how could we possibly win? sell earlier for a lot less and then moan about the price? sell later for a lower fee and moan about the price and the time lost? all the while moaning at united for being bullied by madrid, "we're just as big, we should stick to our guns and not be pushed about." "bah gawd. we stuck to our guns and fecked it up, we should know have sold for 5m"
blame us for not sorting this two years ago, he should have had two new contracts by now, but this window? i don't think we could have done much more other than not sign romero and get someone better.

He's obviously saying that Romero is the man.
So we are saying that Madrid fecked up and sent shit 28 minutes after the deadline - now why would they do that?
Whether or not it's Woodward or United's fault, the fact that this is the 3rd or 4th "transfer drama" United have been involved in, in as many years does kinda reflect badly.
You are my hero. Can I make an idol of you and worship it?
Feck me. Why do you need everything spelled out for you? Madrid wanted to sign De Gea. We didn't want to sell him unless we got a deal we thought was fair. They named a price (far too fecking late, if you ask me) and we got back them saying that we would accept that price but only if they gave us Navas as part of the deal.
Over to you, Madrid. The onus was clearly on them to sell the idea to Navas, otherwise they could shove their proposal up their arse.

AS' editorial says the situation is Florentino's fault
Lad give it up
Reports are proof if they suit you but not others
Take a step back, have a coffee, take a nap, then take a look at what you/others are saying here, it's nonsensical
We're getting the blame thrown on us by oppo fans and wrist slitters on here.
What do Navas and De Gea think of Madrid now? If they had any balls and half a brain cell, they'd want out/stay as far away from that circus as possible.
In the end Real wanted to prove how supreme they are by just coming in on the final day and it backfired . Frankly DDG should be disgusted with how little interest Real have shown in paying good money for him and if he is going to hold grudges with us then feck him.
I know this isn't confirmed that he is staying with us yet,but if he does, it ll be the first prediction I have gotten right on a vote on the caf.. Hopefully he stays..
Spent the morning reading back this thread, was smiling like an idiot throughout..

Before we sold our current number one? Not sure that's too clever.
i dont feel embarassed in the slightest.... we accepted a decent offer ... got our paper work done.. madrid messed up so we get to keep probably the second best keeper in the world for a year.... don't feel slightly embarrassed.
Our number one was going either way. Be it now, xmas or next summer.
It has been reported that Van Gaal, THE UNITED MANAGER, wanted Navas as part of the deal.
Cappeesh?
Madrid have never seemed bothered spending over the odds for players they want.
If I was de Gea I'd feel a little let down that they couldn't even match our valuation, a valuation which is reasonable for a player of his ability and his current worth. The fact it's come to this is solely Madrid's fault, whether it was us or them in regards to the paperwork - they have known his price all summer, they should have either paid it or not. Them thinking that we'd lower our valuation was a stupid thing to do, we've just signed a couple of contracts which have amounted in over £1billion, it was more the principle from our point of view.
I for one hope Madrid do not get their man today, it will give them a kick up the arse and show the footballing world that they can dig their heels in against the Madrid transfer machine.
Now lets hope they get a transfer ban and de Gea finally signs a contract with us. Even in 3/4 years time he will still be young enough to move to Madrid and still have a fantastic career there.

Now Sky are saying La Liga never received documentation about De Gea.... 
Real didn't file late … it's being reported that they didn't file at all!Re-read the post you quoted.
If the penny still hasn't dropped, you might need to get an adult to explain it to you.
SSN: La Liga are saying that they received no registration paperwork from Real Madrid at all.
Skysports saying La Liga have received no paperwork, not late but not at all. You'd think therefore that this wont get re-ignited or dispensated. And we'll have DDG this season.
He's going to take a few weeks to get over this one I reckon.

Sky Sports reporting that there was no papers submitted by Real. I hope they have fecked us over and DDG sees through it all.
If he ends up staying, I'm not going to lie, it's going to take a while to adjust to a player that engineered a move away to that circus in such a sly manner. I might never adjust to having him start games for us, no matter how well he performs.
Next Real would say we never tried to get De Gea or give Navas.
