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.
