Because for some reason they think this deal was possible weeks ago when it probably took countless sleepless nights from Woody and even 3 dropped points to force Madrid's hand.

Think DDG can sleep still
aye. should have signed him up for longer ages ago but we've done good business here with navas coming the other way too.
Not sure how i feel about Dave right now, so I'm just going to welcome Kaylor Navas to the club and keep my gob shut.
It's not, it's €40m less the €15m Navas is valued at in this deal.
Ah feck..
Van Gaal said before that at the start of last season he wasn't sure of him but he improved a lot and showed how good he was later... How the feck could he not see that De Gea was one of the best around a year ago?
No fecking way.
that makes sense. looks like we are haggling with Real about Navas valuation.
He was awesome in Moyes season too , nor sure what lvg was thinking then .
I hope he absolutely fecking fails at Madrid.
Nobody can deny that he has proper fecked us over after we stood by him through those difficult early months of his time with us.
Refusing to sign a contract extension really put the club in such a difficult position.
At least Ronaldo and even fecking Suarez had the decency to ensure that the selling club didn't get fecked over with a transfer fee.
I hope he rots over there.

Very disappointing how this saga ended. So much for "Woody the transfer Don".
This
No fecking way.
You believe LvG would decide that before he was hired? No fecking way indeed.
I cannot agree with you more. Gutted.
Agreed
He was going anyway. We all knew he was going. Only the most hopeless optimist thought he'd be with us this year.I'm still gutted. Real Madrid run off with yet another top talent.
He's going to be the best keeper in the world for many years
Given De Gea had a year left, not sure what you could have asked for more realistically.
Outrageous handling from those at the top. Fools.
Good. Another want away player has been removed from the club. Deal was ok in the end considering the circumstances and those criticising the club should reserve it for the player. He'd still be here if he wanted to wear the shirt but he's forced a move out.
He can now, officially, feck off the injury feigning twat.

I might change my yes vote to a no
Why does this bullshit continue to get spouted? Ronaldo and Suarez signed new contracts long before there was concrete interest in them.
He is going to be such a bargain fro Madrid.. They can get years out of him..
Everyone rub your cruciate ligament and pray he fecks his on his debut
Seeing people actually wishing this cnut well..
Nothing more the club could have done. Hope Navas will perform well and he won't need to worry about settling in as we have Juan and Ander to welcome him for a start. He will be well taken care of so hope he's not too upset coming to us..
Ronaldo signed a new contract 12 months before leaving! The same summer that real flirted constantly with him but Fergie refused to sell him!
Sickening. He's fecked us over, so feck him!!
If it was up to me I'd made the wanker sat as a backup keeper for full year. I hope his career goes tits up at Madrid.
No. He signed a new contract in April 2007 - over two years before leaving.
We basically got 25M€ + a player that didn't really want to join, that isn't that good anyway. I don't see how this is a good deal, no matter how you look at it.
If we were going to sell him, we should've done at the start of the window. To do it in the final hours for a decent fee and decent goalkeeper in return is hardly a victory for the club. No matter what Woody says, Real can still buy our best players from us as they want.
Selling Di Maria, RVP & De Gea in the same summer is disappointing.

Glad he's gone and leaves behind a load of heartbroken idiots who stood by him this whole time.
I'm annoyed we didn't put our foot down and keep him for another year. Glad the saga is over now and I hope he flops at Madrid.
Real's interest dates back to 2006.
And even then you could argue they only did to force the clubs into paying their crazy wage demands before leaving
That's it, i'm done.
Hope he's girlfriend leaves him and the same shit we had to put up with his first two years happen to him at Madrid. Lets see will the worst fans in the world be as patient as we were.

Am i the only one thinking we came out of this well considering everything?
See you later Dave, I'll miss those saves and thanks for the memories.
Now enjoy the white handkerchief brigade!!
