It barely effects you? You miss out on the transfer fee for de Gea and end up with an unhappy/shite keeper in nets for a season depending on whether Romero keeps his place.

It's a bad outcome for us. I mean it's pretty funny, but Navas is about the best replacement we could hope for and now we're stuck with Valdes or Romero instead.
If this was revenge on purpose then Woodward is a fecking legend
We spend the whole day sorting it out then put the documents through at 1 minute past the transfer window closing.
It's brilliant. feck Madrid. They won't be trying to pinch from us again.
Rojo did the same thing to Lisbon last summer....Rooney did it a few seasons ago..Wanyama did it to Southampton this summer.....It happens all the time....It's part of the game these days.....In fariness if you work for a company in England and a company from Miami offer the same money to do the same thing in the sunshine then it would be hard to say no to that for a lot of people
I defo don't want to see Romero in goal again
Laughed for a minute. Then realised it will be Romero for the next few months. We're fecked
Haha did Woodward do this to stick the V's up to Real?
Everyone involved in this looks like a complete tit though. Real for messing about with pointless bids. Us for not stating what we'd actually accept. DDG for not trying to force things more publicly.
And ultimately everyone loses on this. DDG will have to sit out the season. We don't get the replacement that LVG wanted (not that I think he was the right choice). Real don't get their man. United don't get any money for him when he eventually leaves. United are stuck with Romero. So who's the biggest loser? I'd think us ultimately.

He'll sign a new contract now.
Yeah, Man Utd feck up the paperwork and it's all Madrid's fault
Bollocks. You'd think a club of Madrid's standing would be experienced enough in transfer dealings to factor in situations like this and get their ducks in a row long before deadline day. Shows an abysmal lack of planning. feck 'em.
Navas will feel unwanted, De Gea certainly won't! He'll be furious and upset, I'd imagine. I just hope he acts professionally and knuckles down for us.
I wonder if Real had taken pics of DDG in their kit?
I still think it'll happen to be honest.
I suspect both sets of fans will be laughing tonight at the incompetence of their clubs and media.
I'm happy that this deal fell through after all the bullshit about tactical waiting to the last minute.

no one comes out clever in this entire ordeal
Decent compromise to be honest.
This is hilarious, we still have time to find us a GK and ship of Valdes to a PL club. RM however are finished for this transfer period (and possibly even longer regarding poaching youngsters). Ofcourse it will hurt all involved, but standing at the sideline like this I can only laugh.
Maybe he'll get a pity feck out of it, it's not all bad Davey boy....I actually feel kind of sorry for De Gea now. He was actually at Edurne's too, they're probably crying their eyes out acting like he has to go back to war now
So IF we sent the documents late intentionally, that's not exactly gonna help De Gea's delicate mental state, is it?
Now let's laugh some more then hahahaha
That's exactly what they will do when they sign him on a free transfer.
Transfer window is still open for us mate.
It will be an absolute master stroke if we sign a goalkeeper tomorrow.
A £29m troll? That is swagger.
Imo this is at Madrids door all together, they should have met our valuation earlier in the summer and this had been avoided.
Mean we should have told them a price and given them a date by which if an amenable offer did not come, we'd not be selling at all. Tell DDG that's the case and he knows by a certain date if he is not gone, then be prepared to stick the season out with us - letting him be in the right frame of mind without the distraction of will it happen or not.
Now most clubs can't have this kind of stance given they could be offered ridiculous money but, for us money should not be and results/performances a more important deal.
I thought this too, but surely it can't be? Surely not. Really wanted this to go through, can't imagine what his mental state will be like after this...
He'll get in regardless won't he though? He's quite clearly the best Spanish keeper around.
Still doubt he'd chance it! Would LVG actually play him though?!
Fecking waste then really. I mean, we're paying him for nothing if that's the case.
Real Madrid probably expected Man Utd to act like a competent club.
I actually feel kind of sorry for De Gea now. He was actually at Edurne's too, they're probably crying their eyes out acting like he has to go back to war now
Why is everyone so sure that the deal hasn't gone through? I fully expect De Gea to be going to Madrid
reports Madrid unhappy that while United had the tools to send the paperwork forward, instead they passed it side to side and backwards round the office
Anyone who thinks De Gea is seriously going to continue to sit on the bench is crazy. LVG said himself it would only be until after the window ended.
This is brilliant.
Any chance we legally got the Navas deal over the line anyway?
Just imagine...

It's like having Frank Spencer and Benny Hill in charge of transfers.
Jesus wept, this is why you don't leave things to the last minute.
It really has been.
Spanish media saying this is payback for Ramos.
Are you high? It's over...
