Again if Real wanted Him that badly, the deal would have been done weeks ago, but they obviously thought they would get their man either way. He can still go in January and Navas who obviously wants to play for LvG go the other way. Cut Ed and LvG some slack, they handled this situation very well, it was real that fucked up.

If they weren't willing to cough up and wanted to just wait until he was free, why did they even bother with the last minute bid? They hadn't done anything all summer. United can't sell a player if the other team don't make a bid.
Navas did not want to leave Madrid where do you people get this information. One of the reasons why the deal was being held up is because navas did not want to leave. Navas only gave the ok hours before the deadline ended.
LvG is shit and he wears out his welcome pretty quickly. Ask Barcelona fans about that.
Does this have a negative affect on Madrid? Sure in terms of view in the media and etc but this is the best thing to happen to Madrid for financial and competitive reasons
we may as well get him back in the squad. Needs to have a sit down with van Gaal.

So fucked. I can't see De Gea seeing Madrid as the bad guys, so we are going to have an all star keeper who gives two fucks about United and leaks goals, or an untested keeper leaking goals. Great job LvG! You really showed them.

Kinda hope De Gea isn't just slotted straight back into the team.
He was atrocious against PSG and his heart clearly isn't with us, can't see him playing well.

So it's Navas's fault then. Don't see how LvG can be blamed for that.
Edit: Champions Leaague twitter just deleted their 'De Gea staying at United' tweet. Hmm.

Source for the first part? I never read anywhere that Van Gaal said that. Not calling you a lier. I just haven't heard that myself.
If Madrid would of paid the asking price sooner this would of been sorted sooner no? Only offer I heard about was 30m? Correct me if I'm wrong though.
It is ridiculous. But if Sky Sports News is to be believed Madrid didn't send any documents. None. So yes, Madrid fucked up. We did the paperwork in time according to reports.
I think Madrid are equally to blame. They should've either stumped up the cash (or cash + player) sooner, or just made it clear that they wanted him on a free next year.
Now we have a player who clearly doesn't want to be here, and Madrid now have to deal with a player who they wanted to get rid of aswell. Not easy. Be a test of character for both. It's an ugly situation all round.
Again LvG is not at fault here, Madrid fucked up. United is stuck with a keeper who only listens to his girlfriend and Madrid is stuck with a keeper they'd rather get rid off. If they really wanted Dave they'd have paid the asking price sooner except they thought they could bully United who I might add have a healthy financial situation in the corner and it backfired right into their ugly faces.

#RealMadrid statement - "Real Madrid received the full documentation at 00:02 and tries to access the TMS but it was already closed."
#RealMadrid statement - "In short, the Real Madrid has done everything necessary, and at all times, to implement these two transfers."
Let the blame game start.

Both sides fucked up by waiting until the last minute and then failing to get the deal done. United has a keeper that hasn't even been on the bench but they wouldn't negotiate his transfer until the last day possible. How can they not take responsibility for that? This deal is hugely embarrassing for both orgs.

United spent all summer with a #1 keeper that didn't want to be there and could leave for free in six months. They also failed to bring in a decent backup for him. Is this a weekend side that doesn't need to plan for things like who is going to protect their goal?
Neither side looks good. This is something that should never happen to a properly managed club, let alone those of such status.
In Europe’s top 5 leagues, only one club haven’t signed an outfield player this summer.
Arsenal.
Well done Wenger, Gazidis and co, cracking job on building up for a title challenge.
Nothing like setting off on our season from a pool of stagnating water.
You laugh, but Romero will cost you points all season.

What the hell are you talking about? lol
Navas is one of the main reasons the deal failed. He held up the deal all day until just a few hours before the deadline, then Madrid and United spent those next few hours haggling over Navas's price.
He did not want to leave Madrid, he had spent all week saying he was not gonna go and that he didn't want to play for United. He agreed to the move in the end because he was devastated by the way Florentino was treating him and United offered to double his salary.
In the end I'm very happy for Navas, he did not get easily bullied by Florentino. I hope he uses this as motivation and rubs good performances in Florentinos face all year long.
This is from the Guardian football page
"It is also understood that Keylor Navas, the Real goalkeeper who was to arrive at Old Trafford as part of the agreement for De Gea, is unhappy at the Spanish club. He had let this be known to United and that he was keen to sign for Van Gaal."
Not sure that's the best outcome for us.

I heard it was six hours to complete a 10 minute process, but whatever he's staying for now so fuck it.
But yeah LVG this past month or so has already started to piss me off plus the way he acts in pressers... he's just a twat.
Oh of course he's unhappy now after what happened lol. I understood what you said like Navas wanting to play for LvG before this whole fiasco happened.

At the end of the day we are the stupid ones we had an agreement to sell DG to Real but Madrid kept on driving the price down.
But seriously, who couldn't see that happening?
They may be scumbags but they are not stupid scumbags, we played a dangerous game and they won.
We couldn't even bring in a quality replacement, we are the biggest losers here.

He must feel like shit right now. Not only does his club want to get rid of him to sign someone else, but after they cock it up they blame him.
Perez is a downright tosser.
I think Madrid would be better of with a different president.

Ha that thought did cross my mind all be it briefly.
I hope so... apparently Real Madrid could have registered De Gea in TMS making him available to join in January, but Real Madrid neglected to do so.
He'd probably sign it if he wants to save his career and also play at the Euros. Smart move if he does and time to ditch the girlfriend for a proper lady who would not mess with his head. F**k that greedy agent too
United did not open negotiations? LoL, if I wanted to sell my house and the buyer decided to show up a few hours before my vacation I'd probably tell him to come back after my vacation. Haha

So what you up to Jose and Roman?
Nothing, but re-signing all our loaned out players?
Okay cool.

I expect United to send out their own presser refuting everything lol.
So thats how they treat you for being loyal.

I'd be surprised if he ends up moving. £30m all in for a guy who had one decent PL season has made more than one club baulk.
Even West Ham said 'nothankyou.gif' and we have a habit of spending huge sums of money on flash in the pan, injury prone or shit strikers.

Yeah I saw that 30m figure it's just crazy totally rules out most teams he suits.
Ha! I love talksport they think it's odd that nobody has snapped up Austin lol!

I can't believe Wilson is likely to go out on loan it's just crazy he's not even been mentioned for us this season. What is LVG doing? I thought he rated him? I'm all for player development but I also like squad depth.

They wanted £15m cash I thought? Highest offer they got was £12m a while back, not sure it was cash either

The scuttlebut is that it was a £15m transfer fee but when wages, agents fees, signing on fees and bonuses were thrown in it inflated to £30m.

Turkish football clubs are renowned for their excellent management and bureaucracy. I cannot imagine they would screw this up.

For some reason I think there'll be sod all. Lots of small outgoings and loans I assume.
