So for a year they wanted Dave but they waited till the last minute to work it all out.
De Gea Contract Situation
- Thread starter Sassy Colin
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

He's clearly on the charm offensive because he's seen the reports that David could renew with us.
It would be a huge, huge embarrassment if that happened.
I'm absolutely terrible at cryptic crosswords but I got that in about 5 seconds!
Nah, according to him we blocked all modes of communication and said De Gea wasn't for sale until 2 hours before deadline. What else could they do? Poor Madrid.
I doubt anyone even believes him in Madrid.
They really are a bunch of wankers. I've always preferred them due to family ties but I think I'll take a break from that for this season.

Not sure that was his A plan.
Edit: The Sun wrote he was angry with United, that doesn't really count.
If what Perez is saying is true he should appeal even if knows it will fail, this would surely result in Fifa releasing their findings and calling United out, the fact he hasn't leaves me to believe Madrid were the main cause of this going wrong.
I think that he will renew, even in the interview he is saying that didn´t talk to David. After what happened David can´t risk his career without a contract.The question is if will be release clause in the new contract.
Does he realise this doesn't make sense? Everton didn't want to talk to Chelsea about Stones yet that didn't stop 4 bids being lodged.
Or the fact he didn't have to wait for United for this time stamp. They could have submitted and stamped their own documents hours before and as soon as United uploaded theirs they were 99% there.
According to Sid Lowe that is
Not a chance will there be a release clause. United have DDG over a barrell, sign it or not.
I knew this cnuts ego wouldn't let it go.
We've openly said we have proof we sent the documents on time. That's putting your neck on the line if you're lying.
The fact is they aren't bothering to appeal. That says it all.

If De Gea has any sense he would renew his contract with us. It would also put him in a stronger position for any future dealings he may want with Madrid. He's seen how Perez has played him after he deliberately ran his contract down just to make everything convenient for Madrid to pick him up, so it would be foolish of him to put himself in that position again.
As soon as I heard that they will not be appealing (as early as Tuesday morning) it was obvious who was really to blame. 100% agree!
It's hardly news … everyone knows that Real are not appealing!
A saw a report today whereby a club official has come out and said that DDG will not be sidelined whether or not he signs a new contract and the team will be picked on merit..it was on ESPN.
Why the hell would we be suddenly ok with negotiating on the last day of the transfer window? Why shoot ourselves in the foot and not get a replacement for him in? Perez, as usual, is talking complete and utter shit. Madrid are a joke, despicable club who don't give a feck about the welfare of players. If they wanted him so bad they could have made a proper offer early on in the window. They had no problem splashing the cash on a right back they don't need but can't offer £35m for a top 3 in the World keeper. None of his account makes any sense so we can ignore it as the the ramblings of a senile fool. Loving Navas by the way, probably as much as you lover Casillas too.
On the other hand please god let this have burned our bridges with Madrid for good. I'm perfectly fine with no longer developing players into top class talents for their first team. Somehow I get the feeling that they won't mind dealing with us should another Ronaldo come along.

I would say his latest round of comments, he doesn't just admit to tapping up, he continues tapping up De Gea publicly and trying to shit on our club.
Perez is scum.
"because of #MUFC’s lack of experience in these matters"
I have been laughing at this for a while now.
Perez knew the price for DDG. feck we even left him out our team until it was sorted, so I can't think how in anyway we completely blocked communication with them? DDG would be a Madrid player now if they paid up. Simple.

. Florentino is enjoying talking about UnitedWhat a piece of shit of a human being. If United had any sense, they'd not do business with him again.
Who's telling the truth (and how much of it) is obviously very hard to tell, but the main difference for me is that in United's statement there's talk about the FA backing them up and offering assistance to Madrid, if they wish to take it further. That tells me that United did everything in time on their end. Whether or not they stalled on a few steps - which seems to be Madrid's primary defence - doesn't really matter, does it? It's up to Madrid to get their documents in order and be ready to finalise it all, and they seemingly weren't for whatever reason. I also think that the fact that so many different versions come out of the Madrid-propaganda-machine speaks in United's favour.
Probably, but doesn't care as there'll always be people who lap it up.
End of the day we gave Real a big open goal. We said the price we wanted in cash (or Ramos in exchange) early into the window. Yes, the price is expensive for a player on the last year of their contract but the importance of De Gea to us warranted that asking price which Real could afford to pay if they wanted to.
We didn't play De Gea for a number of reasons - might not be 100% focused, might play within himself if he did play and reduce likelihood of him picking up any injury which could put at risk the move he wanted. All Real had to do was bid the asking price or put in a reasonable offer.

Analogy would be the twitter vid above. Perez is Gunnersaurus, De Gea is the ball and the goal is Real Madrid.
Have you seen Romero play?
We have the Euro 2016 card to play, but let's not kid ourselves that we don't need De Gea. Even it van Gaal changed his mind on Valdes we've left him out of our squads now. Romero is awful and we're 6 months from being able to sign anyone.
Man I would like to see Woodward's face right now
Perez taking the piss big time and embarrassing his club in the process the shitty old fool.

He said that De Gea contract was agreed in the afternoon, later they sent Navas contract to United and was sent back 8 hours later.

United will post a pic of the proof that we have and stop all this nonsense.
Perez primed for a massive fail here

From the various reports we had, I believe both clubs did isolated things not in good faith (like apparently United did not treat Navas especially well), but it does seem that the ultimate feck-up - La Liga receiving Real's transfer documents late - was Real's fault. They claim it was because they received United's contribution late, but United have countered that they have had evidence in the form of a timestamp that they did this part in good time. Each club's respective FA backs them up, but only United's claim comes backed up by evidence. Perez's accusations are mostly mostly blustering about twists of perspective (they did not contact United about De Gea until late in the window apparently out of innocent respect for United's wishes - but by most accounts this was a negotiation tactic on Real's part) or this being because of a 'lack of experience', any specifics about what this means obviously being left aside.
As a fan you obviously try to divorce your feelings from the matter and try to see what's going on in the midst of all these traded blows in the media, but it does seem more and more like Real's intention to wrestle De Gea from a hapless United so late in the window blew up in their faces, and now they are trying to rescue the situation by blowing smoke signals to David that he should hold out for them.

Our "lack of experience" didn't prove a problem when they wanted shot of AdM last summer, or on any of the deals that woody has been in charge of (assuming he's saying since Gill/Fergie departed) smacks of desperation to me. we should certainly not get into one with this idiot though, he'll drag us down to his level. Either legal action or put him on ignore!
Perez is like a child. This is the stage I hope we don't dignify with a response to. We all know what happened.
"I know people that won't go to Manchester because of their inexperience." Of course you do, old man.

This isn't going to end well for Madrid or Dickbrain. I get the feeling United are going to upload a screen shot of the lodging times and that will be that.
I thought Woodward was Wenger, the goal was De Gea, and Gunnersaurus was the sense of optimism for the season ahead???
