I've never actually played them, so this is my first time. Halfway through number juan and completely addicted.
Also, when does DDG return to England?

I only played 2&3 as I have a playstation. Number 2 is up there with the best games I've ever played. Pure class.
Not sure, they'll probably been so dork on here with DDG flight number or some shit
 
I tell you what, I'd love to know what conditions Madrid changed, that meant we had to re-check the contract.

Wouldn't even be surprised if they tried to pull a fast one on the price, and thought we'd just accept it to get it done.

It really didn't as they will still get what they want in the summer, only for free in the meanwhile Perez can say he tried to complete the deal ASAP and it was our fault (which sounds like bollocks to me) this strengthens his position and reputation as a president with the balls to try to do whatever it takes to get his man, which of course he failed to do on this occasion but it plays well to the Madridistas if they think its not his fault.

In fact the more I think about it the more I believe that they deliberately pulled the plug, knowing full well that they have a perfectly good and fit for the job keeper who will believe he now has till the end of the season to see whether he can convince the fans and hierarchy that he is the man to continue in goal (he will ultimately fail for political reasons). They can then pick up the player they always wanted for free and not lose face with the fans which is all that counts.

I'm afraid we lost this one.
 



According to this guy's profile he used to work for Mendes' agency. Make of his words what you will. Very believable to me given what United has said.
 
Think people are overthinking it a bit. If Madrid didn't want to sign De Gea then they could have found a way to do it that makes them look less like idiots. I don't see any reason to think it was anything more than a feck up.

Who actually fecked up doesn't really matter either tbh, except to those directly involved. The ultimate point is that the deal was clearly left too late and (as the club that actually wanted the deal to happen) the onus should have been on Madrid to push for it.
 
I voted no earlier in the summer. A few weeks ago, I changed to yes. Suddenly, it looked like he was in fact going. Worried that my over confidence had jinxed us and that he was really leaving, I then decided late last night to change back to No, I don't think he'll stay. My reverse psychology on the universe/Real's fax machine worked perfectly, and lo and behold, he stayed.

You're all welcome :devil:

P.S suck my fat one Real

If @D_DeGea has any sense he will not join Real Madrid in the future, I am saying this, they choose Navas over him. 1/2

To make matters worse they have tried to blame Manchester United for their change in direction. #mufc 2/2
 
He will need to get back into the first team and pick up his form from last season if he wants to move to Madrid. Wouldn't it be great if he signed a new deal with us :)
 
Thanks! Wouldn't be surprised if there is truth in it and are willing to see how Navas does the first half of this season.
 
him staying is such good news.

Hopefully LvG won't be a dick, and will put him back in the team. That's an extra 10 points this season right there

I think just these words would have sufficed.

"Manchester United acts appropriately and efficiently in its transfer dealings."

This would have been best. Not that I think there's anything wrong with the statement itself, but it's just that it feels a bit like we're stooping to their level. A round of "but he did this and we did this" doesn't look good for anyone.
 
Have we any grounds to sue these pricks?

I mean, they spend the whole year tapping up one of our players, getting into his head and unsettling him. Then after forcing the situation for the whole summer in the hope of making his relationship with the club difficult, they finally agree to buy him off us before finally their incompetence scuppers the deal.

We're left with a very unsettled, frustrated and certainly unfocused player who for a long period has been unusable to us. It's yet to be seen when or if he will be available to play for us again and whether he will be able to maintain his previous level of focus and performance for the year.

At the end of the year they are likely to get the player and also still have the £30m transfer fee in their bank.


I think we have serious grounds to take them to court over their actions and incompetence.

I disagree 100%

We needed to tell our side of the story or it would have looked like we were admitting blame.
 
Next step is getting DDG back on the pitch, he is the best option we have by far so i hope LVG does the sensible thing and plays him now, but LVG is a stubborn man so i expect DDG will be in the stands for a few more weeks.

I like it.
 
Think the statement was absolutely called for. Real tried to make us look incompetent and left alone, the narrative the rest of the year would have been just their side. Now at least there are two sides of the story. As fans, many wanted a statement from the club, to know what happened and also to defend themselves. They've done that - and as with anything there will be critics. If the statement was too short, it would have been they need to be clearer and elaborate. Personally am glad they've given their side and I think in this case we are closest to the truth since we've got factual data to back up our version of the truth.

As for DDG - I sincerely hope LVG does what is best for the club and sorts him out and has him as our #1. Romero isn't bad but, obviously DDG is a better option. That and when he leaves, hope it's to any other club than Real.
 

haha, you thought that you were trolling us but we were counter trolling you :lol:
it seems impossible but with Florentino who knows

Good points. We fecking should have. It doesn't get more obvious tapping up.

Heart says hell yeah

Head says it's one hell of a stretch to make the case. Plus it will distract the team and specifically De Gea even more. Imagine if it costs us a Champions League spot next year somehow.
 
Will the fee be significantly reduced if we were to sell in January? ...can we not force a contract upon him with a release clause?

I'd hate to see them get the last laugh when they sign the best keeper on the planet for free.

You do know that this would actually be almost sick, not normal? Forget whom we support, to do this would just be mental and so unprofessional it's beyond words.

They're not going to buy him in January, especially as he'll most likely be CL tied by then. They'll wait until the end of the season and get him on a free.

We can't force anything. We've tried to get him to sign a contract but he'd rather go to Real and a new contract would jeopardise that.

If that was the case and RM didn't want the transfer to go through, why not just pull the plug? RM gained nothing by making the deal collapse the way it did.

The whole point is that he hasn't signed a new contract. You can't force a player to sign a contract. Plus we won't sell in Janury anyway as he will be cup tied.
 
This tweet from last Summer really did prove to be quite spookily pre-emptive...

 
It's possible that they didn't want De Gea badly enough. More of a case of "well he's available on his last year of a contract, so let's take him for cheap".

Goalkeepers and defenders don't fit the profile of a 'galactico' for Florentino.
