international break to get his head back in to gear, if he can then a no brainier, he has to start, the problem is if LvG does not put him in the CL squad and we all know that is perfectly possible with LvG.
first game back out, gets a massive round of applause, realises he's loved here and Madrid didn't put as much effort in as they should, and ends up signing a monster long deal, stays for years and becomes a legend.
why not
Play him against the scousers.
By next season I hope JohnstoNeuer will have developed further to be no. 1.
Smart play would be for United to offer him an extension with a £40m buyout clause. Don't make the buyout public and it'll look good for all the fans + United get ££ when he leaves so it's all on good terms.
David can look as butthurt as he wants, it's the club he "dreamt" of signing for who messed this move up.. not us.
Very glad United have put-out a statement outlining our side of the situation - I doubt it'll change DDG's position in regards to joining Real next summer, but I'm delighted we've not just sat back and let Real tell their story without reply.
What happens in January? Pre-contract with Madrid?
Hopefully we use him and he plays at his best for the remainder of the season.
It's a mess but both clubs are not too fussed about it. DDG stays for another season and Madrid sign him on free. The loser is DDG. And Edurne. Maybe Real too, if Navas fails. And maybe United too if we don't play him or he isn't as good as last season (apart from not getting any money for him).

I thing David will sign a new deal and stay.
So, we force a 1 year extension on him if he wants to play first team football this year and make Madrid go through the same again next summer. This time however, under the influence of a transfer ban. Dave will be 32 before he gets to play for them.
That statement read slike it was written by a child.
We didn't want to sell him and then decided to sell him as soon as we received the first offer to sell him? ...then we tried our very hardest to sell him...but are delighted we didn't sell him?
What?? Has someone broken into Fergie's wine cupboard?

Why did we accept the our side of the deal and put it on TMS without Navas' transfer details secured?
I agree, we had to make a statement otherwise the media and Madrid would have said our silence was admitting guilt. Now we have shown Madrid to be lying scumbags. Get in.
Gave 'em both barrels. Brilliant statement.
Great statement from United. Very professional. And the FA and obviously have their time stamped whatumacallit to prove they were doing all that they should. Surely Dave must see how they've fecked him over?
Like Mr. Ray Bobbins used to say: "It's stone age football this guy is playing. Stone age."
I would throw a party if she leaves him... unless someone knocks some sense into her head and she moves up North.
Considering the situation, I think Dave would sign a new contract because 1) Real are nowhere about to give Dave as much money as we would do, which means 2) less commission money for his greedy agent. With a new contract, 3) the buying club would have no choice but to pay big money if they want him so badly and that would give the agent even bigger commission in a hypothetical sale.
if Madrid owe him compensation as suggested, he is likely already their player. They've bought him for 10m, just caught a lot of public embarrassment in the process
How fecking amazing is that statement from us. Get fecked Madrid. And that last sentence, fecking love it.
yeah ideal
It really isn't. Read it...it's basically arguing with itself. It's actually quite funny how bad it is.
What kind of reception do you expect for him if he plays for us again? I mean he hasnt been very vocal during the whole saga but do you think the fans will respond well to him being here? I sure hope so.
We decided to sell him when Madrid offered the 40 million Euros. Which was our asking price all summer. Madrid decide to offer it with what, 10 hours of their transfer window left?
I assum because we had today to finalise that deal, whereas Madrid were against the clock.
Anyone watching sky sports news? Mata just gave Dave a big hug!
Fawning over a club statement is very RAWKish to me.
It's pretty childish from both sides, to be fair. What a mess.

Andy Mitten rubbing it in
Nice to see some journos having a rub at other clubs in our favour for a change. Have it, Andy!
Andy Mitten is a United fan, so he is not going to lay into club like the other bellends.
LVG now needs to speak to him and tell him that he will play and he will stay with us for the remainder of the season.
His head should now be clear so no excuses.

The devil's in the details. It would depend on what those "minor changes" were. I've known piddling little alterations to the wording of a contract mushroom into major deal-breaking issues. Who knows what happened here.
FFS, he's a footballer at the top of his profession playing for a massive club in the country he's lived in for the last 5 years. Suck it up, soft lad.
That part confused me too. Either we have failed to mention something or were taking the risk of getting fecked over by Madrid
I'd imagine he'll only play for us again, if he signs a contract.
No way will LVG bed him back into the team, only for him to go and sign a contract with Madrid in January.
