It's speculation at the moment. The case against them is not as strong as the Barca case so it's not clear they'll get a ban. If they do get banned they'll appeal both the ban and the scale of the punishment. Given no ban has been announced yet and appeals take months, it's pure guesswork to say which windows they'll miss, if any.

Initial reports in June were for an amount around 12-13m pounds (with us holding out for 25m).

Eh, at the time I thought we were going about it the right way too. LVG was confident Romero would do well for us, and putting him in the team left us in the strongest possible position with regards to selling/keeping DDG.
So much debate on the price based on media reports is pretty useless because the media first reported a small bid long time back and then all of them are now saying that the first bid came in yesterday. Frankly it's clear that the media is just making up a lot of stuff, I see no reason for why United wouldn't have sold him earlier if Real were ready to offer the same money. Also if you do believe the money put out by the media then Navas is without doubt worth 10 million pounds and so a cumulative sum of 28 million pounds is way beyond what was reported to be the value of the earlier bids and actually a lot closer to what United wanted
Chilllll Winstonn
Wouldnt be surprised if RM did that somehow on purpose
I was fine with it until De Gea was dropped at which point it made no sense to keep delaying it. Get the deal done and bring Navas over asap.
Has the news that Real may not have filed their paperwork at all changed your mind about this at all? Or at least made you think it is possible, IF that turns out to be true?
I said about £20m. Obviously 'whatever Real wanted to offer' would be around nothing but if we'd quoted something sensible rather than 'world record fee for a keeper or Ramos' I dare say they'd have gotten on board. That would've been a perfectly fair price and we would've had time to pursue our own options instead of having to sign and play a stop gap keeper for the start of the season and ending up in the situation we're in now.
This 'we must stand up to the big meanies from Madrid' stuff is just self-defeating bitterness. It's caused us far more harm than it has done them.
fecking sick of the werewolf looking twat, if he isn't going to sign a new contract let him rot in the reserves. Would rather endure with Romero or even give Sam a chance to stake a claim.
Guys can Real Madrid still loan out players? Just a question not sure how loans work out in the transfer window
Not if De Gea plays for us for the rest of the season.
What you are saying is completely right if Van Gaal refuses to reinstate him though.
We could definitely have used Van Gaal and Woodward sitting down and coordinating their strategies in this a bit better. It does seem like they both had completely different agendas, which didnt help us at all.
I dont think Real were ready to do Navas + Cash as of Aug 6?
Maybe RM held out for their first bid to come in so late, for us to cave in on the price - unsettled keeper, deadline day, other transfers being more important, and pressure to get it done. Its a smart negotiating tactic - and one RM seem to be happy to use to extract the most out of deals. Ozil sale to arsenal was an obvious one, and I believe we also got ADM 3-4 days before the window because we were happy to meet their asking price.
This time it seems to have worked badly for them. If this was their opening bid for DDG, then I am sure we would have held out for more if it was 1 June, not 31 August.

If we go into the Liverpool game with Romero starting, and De Gea and Valdes in the stands, I'm gonna put my foot through something. Romero just isn't good enough. LVG needs to swallow his pride and do what's right for United. If Sir Alex could stand to work with Rooney for years after his transfer request, despite obviously disliking him, why can't Van Gaal kiss and make up with either one of the two world class keepers he has?! The man is doing my nut at the minute.
Breaking news, Real aren't going to appeal..
Well played Real.
Its stinks if you ask me,.

Case closed. He's staying, but doubt he'll be played.
That's if he plays at his best for us. I agree, we'd be mad not to play him but that doesn't mean I'm sure he'll be anywhere near the standard he's been before. I know he has the national team spot to play for but determination isn't the same as having your mind in the right place.
Hes going to have to be played, especially after Romeros mistakes on Sunday
Looks like Madrid left it until the last minute to spare another million or two and ended up missing the deadline. fecking clowns.
Can't feel sorry for DDG, he did it to himself. Hopefully they find a way for the transfer to go through and he fecks off already.

He will be a MUFC player. Case is closed.
Real have fecked De Gea over so bad.I bet Florentino wishes Franco was still around. It'd get done then.
What a mess
Fecking Madrid
Fecking Madrid
Then that is another excuse I don't want to hear from LvG. If you won't play one of the best keepers in the world then don't moan if we lose games, like on Sunday.
Real are a laughing stock.
Wonder how Edurne is feeling now.
Schneiderlin had even refused to train with Southampton but they didn't sell him to Spurs and went on to have another very good season before leaving.
Madrid fecked this up, De Gea should see that.
Its a legitimate concern. But Im sure he'll get over it. I imagine he is in bits right now, but he has time. If it turns out he isnt capable of putting in good enough performances for us now then he can be dropped. But that wont reflect well on him. Sometimes shit happens and you just have to get over it. He has to take his share of the blame for this, he could have handed in a transfer request and the whole thing might have played out differently.
Now that it's over, I think what needs to happen now is that DDG should be forced to get his head down and play to the best of his ability. What do you think will happen now?
Feck.
De Gea STAYS
How are people going to feel watching De Gea pretend to care? I hope he'll be professional enough to put his everything into the club when he represents United on the pitch. Nothing like an unhappy/demotivated player
She got dave into smart new suit by all accounts, so shes probably all set for the next award do.
Madrid have cost us points in the league, though I think LVG milked it - they're a disgrace.
Can't wait to see LVGs response when he's asked about this.
Does that mean we've registered him in our CL squad?
