Well I guess that was somewhat inevitable. The richer club will always get what they what, this will be the case with Chelsea & John Stones too no doubt.

The De Gea situation is the same as what happened with Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009. Real Madrid were constantly trying to sway Ronaldo's mind in the weeks leading up to his departure and Man Utd tried to keep him but ultimately money and the chance of being closer to home were too much to resist.

No it's completely different. With Ronaldo, Man Utd knew they couldn't keep him, with De Gea they thought they could. This has been going on for 3 months. and to get sorted the day before the end of the window is madness. The guy hasn't even been in any match day squads. The lure of Madrid/Barca is always massive for Spanish & South American players.

 

Bit of a crazy situation Man Utd have got themselves in to, seemingly they only want 2 strikers and Fellaini. Going to have as many keepers as strikers at this rate.

Think we have got more keepers than strikers now! Every match so far the cameras loved panning to De Gea, Valdés & Lindegaard in the stands looking completely fed up :lol:

Anyway good luck to De Gea, he can go to Madrid and watch Barcelona win all of the trophies. As the old saying goes no one is bigger than the club and in time we'll have an adequate replacement no matter how long it takes.

Rojo transferred listed by Man Utd as well. This is too funny :lol: Car boot sale times. Martial for £58m, can tell Man Utd are going to do something crazy again tomorrow.

Rojo being listed is bizarre.

Wow you can't make this up, De Gea's move to Madrid looks to be off because of late paperwork. Hilarious. Going to lose him on a free now.

What is actually happening? I've been out of the transfer loop for 6 days and all hell breaks loose.

 

Rojo was apparently a bit of a troublemaker so can understand that, definitely a behind-the-scenes job. Something absolutely f***ing mental is about to happen.

Louis Van Gaal is slowly destroying all of the legacies of Fergie. Once De Gea leaves it will only be Rooney, Smalling, Valencia, Jones, Carrick & Young that are left from the first team during Sir Alex's time.

 

Deadline day is finally here and it promises to be a crazy and unpredictable day filled with yellow on Sky Sports News and funny behaviour from fans in the background of the cameras.

That deal valued De Gea around £22m after United abandoned their original asking price of £33m in the face of Real’s deliberate negotiating tactic to leave it as late as possible.

 

Between this and paying waaaay over for the odds for Martial it looks like United are terrible at playing the negotiation game. Also no idea why Janujaz would go on loan considering he's looked quite decent for Utd.

And now they're left with Romero and an unhappy De Gea who will leave for peanuts. Amatuerish.

Will they regret selling Hernandez to Leverkusen?

 

Left with Valdes wanting to move, De Gea leaving on a free transfer next season and Romero.

Remarkable to witness the changearound at United since 2013. The squad did need refreshing, but did it need dismantling as so? Also, Sky Sports reporters report from inside the ground now to avoid the mobs of kids :lol: The dildo incident at Everton(?) tipped the balance!

 

At the end of the day, this is all entertainment so best to treat it as such.

So? The 2012-13 squad was the weakest of any title winner that I can remember. The Moyes fiasco demonstrated how much of an overhaul it needed.

 

Van Gaal has made some bizarre decisions recently but the blame should surely lie with Woodward. Incompetence isn't the word.

I think Hernandez should have stayed at least as he was lethal most times he was giving an opportunity and the majority of those times was him coming on as a substitute.

 

Aww that's a shame, the fans messing about in the background were the best and funniest thing about deadline day :lol: that use to give me hours of laughter.

We've officially signed a 5 year old from Monaco for £1.87bn. Real are trying to pin the blame on United for the failed transfer. It clearly happened so late that they 'accidentally' f***ed up so they could get him free next year.

 

We have 8 months to convince him to stay. Rumour's from his agent is that hope is not lost for United.

David De Gea will leave whenever the next opportunity comes, he's already shown that he doesn't want to be at Manchester United anymore so there's no point trying to convince him to stay permanently. Louis Van Gaal will probably keep him out of the first team for the rest of our matches until he leaves.

Derby have managed to sign Butterfield from Huddersfield for approx £4 million and Bradley Johnson from Norwich for a club record £6 million today! Not sure where all this money is coming from considering we already broke our original transfer record when we bought Tom Ince for £4.75 million and have made plenty of other signings too, I hope it pays off despite our slow start.
