Is taking compensation allowed? Doesn't that show that Madrid have tapped him up..

in fairness to DeGea he has kept council very well in all of this.
through no fault of his own the deal has collapsed.
I feel that both himself and Mendes are going to be incredibly pissed with Real as they have know our stance all along and we were never going to make it easy.
If Real were that bothered about signing DeGea they would have met the rumoured €40m fee weeks ago and not tried to be cocky feckers and force our hand.

I said in a post a while ago that I could see him staying and also signing a new deal and my stance remains as Real have completely fecked him over.

he is only staying because Real cocked up the paper work, the fact is he does not want to be here.
Hopefully he will get his head in gear and become a productive team player, the big question is will he be in the CL squad, my gut feeling is yes he will.

Not convinced LVG will play him, it seems a no brainier bring him in for Romero but who knows what LVG will decide to do.

I can see where your coming from, if he is not in the CL squad I dont see him playing for the first team all season , which would be a waste.
He should be back in against liverpool, Romero would struggle to be number one keeper at pretty much any premier league club and we have two better keepers sat in the stands but it seems once LVG takes his mind up that is it and surely de gea's head is even more likely to be screwed up after all this.

For all the weird and wonderful decisions the LVG has made there is no way in hell he is not going to want DDG in between the sticks unless DDG refuses to play (this will not happen)

Not a chance he will be in the team for Liverpool, if he does play again it will be a few weeks.
LvG has got to get him in wanting to play for us again, that is going to be hard, he was already a RM player in his head.

Have to agree with this. The fallout is still to be seen, but Real basically forced their #1 GK Legend out the door, then forced their popular new #1 out the door on deadline day, then failed to get their man.

This is Real Madrid we are talking about here, not fecking Spurs, they ALWAYS get their man. How some seem to think this is "embarrassing" for United is beyond me.

If I was De Gea, I'd be furious. And if I was Woody, I'd be preparing a 5 year contract with a 65 million pound buyout clause.

If van Gaal let's him play again, maybe it would be a good idea to chant his name for 90 minutes every game and make him feel loved again.. Who knows his mind would change..

It's not that bad, I was there for the Spurs game, and it was sunny and lovely all weekend.
Fair. Never been to England but have been to Amsterdam and Brussels in the fall . For someone used to 80 degree weather I can understand why foreigners don't take to that kinda of climate easy. Even if it's sunny. Felt like an icicle in October. :lol:

I'm glad daves still here, I just hope to god we see him back between the sticks soon and the fans get behind him.

Like others have said he's never been an arsehole and refused to play or anything, he's conducted himself well throughout so no hard feelings I just hope madrid have seriously pissed him off.

Yeah, I get that, if you're used to tropical weather, it's probably a bit different.

I come from Ireland(an incredibly scenic part of Ireland, mind), so yeah.......
 
United's statement on transfer collapse

Manchester United notes Real Madrid’s statement on the attempt to sign David De Gea and sell Navas to Manchester United. The Club feels compelled to provide some clarification with the following facts.

• Manchester United did not seek contact from Real Madrid for the sale of David. David is a key member of our squad and the club’s preference was not to sell. • No offer was received for David until yesterday.

• At lunchtime yesterday, Real Madrid made its first offer to buy David. A deal was agreed between the clubs, which included Navas being transferred to Old Trafford. The deals were dependent on each other.

• In the last several hours of the process, with Navas at the Real Madrid training ground, Real Madrid were controlling the documentation processes of David, Navas and Real Madrid. Manchester United was in control only of the documentation of Manchester United.

• Manchester United sent transfer documents for both players to Real Madrid at 2042 BST. David’s documentation was returned by Real Madrid to Manchester United without the signatory page at 2232 BST.

• At 22:40 BST, minutes before the deadline, major changes to the documentation came through to Manchester United which immediately put the deals at risk. • Only at 2255 BST were the documents that are needed to cancel David’s contract received by Manchester United from Real Madrid.

• At this point Navas’ documentation was still not returned by Real Madrid.

• At 2258 BST, the transfer agreement was sent back by Manchester United, uploaded onto TMS and accepted – all before the deadline.

• It is our understanding that the deals couldn’t happen because:

o Real Madrid didn’t upload David’s documents onto TMS in time (Manchester United did)
o Real Madrid didn’t upload David’s documents to the Spanish league in time, per reports it seems some 28 minutes after the deadline

• The fact that Manchester United filed the papers on time was acknowledged by the Football Association, who offered to support that claim in any discussions with FIFA. The Club offered this assistance, as well as its own timestamped documents to Real Madrid but they have chosen not to go down this route.

Manchester United acts appropriately and efficiently in its transfer dealings. The Club is delighted that its fan-favourite double Player of the Year, David de Gea, remains a Manchester United player.

Phil Neville just saying on the BBC that the Spanish goalkeeping coach, who he works with at Valencia, wanted De Gea to move to Spain.

Puts a slightly different spin on it, and maybe he's been told by the NT that he'll only be the #1 if he moves back to Spain?
That goalkeeping coach can go feck himself if he thinks that a move to Spain is all good and everything. Just pay the damn plane ticket to see De Gea's performances in Manchester like other coaches from other countries do.

I just hate that mindset from the Spanish FA that players should play in Spain in order to get both visibility and better chances to get in the starting XI, including goalkeepers. The Germans replaced a goalkeeper who was regarded like God in the country and even tolerated the fact that their number 1 goalkeeper was playing abroad.

When does he come back then? There is an international break and it's best to just get on with it, whether he is one indeed percent or not he is still better than Romero.

At least he has kept quiet through all this. I can also see him signing a new deal with us now. Probably with the understanding (if not a formal clause) that if Real come back next summer he can leave for €40-50m. He gets the salary/security he deserves and we get a transfer fee if/when he leaves. It avoids the potential for the saga to overshadow the whole season and the possibility that he gets frozen out leaving his ambitions with the Spain squad for Euro-2016 in tatters and us stuck with an inferior keeper.

So essentially, behind the scenes there are probably going to be a few people in Madrid getting fired.

And also:

The Club is delighted that its fan-favourite double Player of the Year, David de Gea, remains a Manchester United player.
Talk about rubbing it in :lol:
