For the nonsense last night, perhaps. My issue is if we were not going to play him then there was no reason to drag this to the last day of the window and thus giving Navas even less time to settle in to the club.
De Gea Contract Situation

I say "obsessed" because your arguments are getting flimsier and flimsier. Someone asks you why we should settle for less than our valuation and you answer by blaming Ed for overpaying on previous transfers. Surely you can see that's no justification at all.
Done.@Niall , please put De Gea back in prediction league. He's my Liverpool starter.
Agree with this, plus there's the Euros to consider for DDG. He may need to have a big old word with himself but he'll get his head right. LVG's reaction is less predictable.
We haven't dragged it out. Madrid have.

Look, when you pay 30 Euros for a sardine, surely you understand that if you then try to sell a seagull for 100 Euros, buyers will think they can get it for 50?
Van Gaal said he would 'consider' the situation I believe but regardless he's probably in a worse state of mind now than he was at the start of the season.
Not when the sardine is worth 50 euros and you are being offered 20 euros for it.
Do you know a how big a sardine is? Ever eaten one? And don't start with Pilchards.
Reading this forum this summer and especially this thread makes me wonder why a lot of posters here are supporting the club or call themselves fans when it appears that all they want to do is pick up on rumours to bash the club or its management with. If everything the club does is wrong for you or incompetent, be it tactics or transfers or media-handling or faxing paperwork; seriously do your selves a favour and support someone else.
Now this is not a "better" or "worse" fan argument, nor I am sitting on a high horse. I know a forum is supposed to be a place with different opinions but it seems like some posters are just negative on everything about the club.
It's like the Johnno guy from RAWk signed up several accounts here.

"We enter the realms of speculation here" Wise words from Balague
Fifa are looking into it.So expect the deal to still go through.
The club hasn't inspired much in the way of optimism in recent years - some people are concerned we are heading in the wrong direction, doing things in the wrong way.
Not everyone believes everything is gonna be allright.
Head out of sand.

We didn't drag it out. Madrid had all summer to lodge a proper bid. They left it to the last day.
But the sardine only has one year on its contract!!!!
Ddg is the sardine right?
That guy xD
We have. Just like Levy does every single season which ends up fecking Spurs over because their preparation for the new season is disrupted.
The point is DDG is worth a lot more than the ridiculous £15m you suggested, why can't you get your head around that?
He should have that tattooed to his forehead"We enter the realms of speculation here" Wise words from Balague
We've made it clear to Madrid all summer pay the money asked (or there abouts) and you will get your man, why wait until the last minute? You can blame United and Woodward for a number of things but this is not one of them.
Btw. If FIFA is looking into it, wouldn't it take another 10-15 days to get a decision going.
Plenty of time for the mafia to transfer the amount to the accounts..

In which case the owner does not have to sell if it doesn't meet their valuation of him
It's clear they wanted to pay 30m for him (albeit with Navas included), so why didn't they pay up earlier? It's their fault there's no other way about it.
De Gea is not a car.
No doubt about it, this morning. But by the time the international break is over he should have got his head around it.
I'm not going down the road of comparisons, as I don't see the added value to the discussion. The point is we may have overpaid on some players, but hardly to the extent that we should be expecting clubs to completely rip us off when they want to get our best player. Real might've thought they could do that, but once we made it clear that wasn't happening, they should've met our valuation. Simple as that. There's just no way you can blame the club for that. It's not like we were unreasonable either. Real eventually did offer us a correct price and we accepted. If you look at this deal in isolation, we played it correctly.

Cantona about De Gea.
No he's a sardine apparently
Dans seems to have lost the plot.
True. Although his conclusion, which is that Madrid held this up because they didn't want to pay for De Gea and feel they can get him for free next year doesn't seem so far off does it?"We enter the realms of speculation here" Wise words from Balague
Madrid could've signed him if they really wanted to. However, they knew they were sorted for a keeper with Navas, and that they De Gea would still come running next summer for nothing, so they stalled on the deal. We've all done it, right? Why pay full price when you can get it cheaper in the summer sales?
Maybe for De Gea going home to Madrid is still the overriding factor. If last night proves anything though, its that Madrid aren't that bothered about signing him. For a real Galactico no price would've been too high. Perez would've pushed the boat out. The fact Madrid waited hours to do anything shows where De Gea will be in the pecking order if he moves to Madrid next year.
I know he says we are entering into realms of speculation but that's a good conspiracy theory.. Has anyone else reported that Madrid were saying they couldn't finish the deal on time since evening like balague is pointing out?
Hope Madrid are banned for transfers in 2016, the cnuts.
That's what they said about Eric.
Summed things up pretty well.
Will that have any problem on them signing DDG still though? Free agents can be registered outside of the transfer windows.
I keep seeing this, but honestly, what were United supposed to do? Real Madrid did NOT firm up their interest until yesterday. This deal could not have been done long back simply because we want it done, on the other hand, LVG should have continued to play him in my opinion.
And Eric haven't found it back, yet.
