I for one don't care about the small difference in the fees. All i know is from a big club point of view, we are a complete joke.
 
Maths isn't Ducker's strong point it seems. Still gets confused with with pound - euro exchange rates. He still thinks we spent £30m+ on Anderson.

Balague saying the deal is E25m + Navas valued at E15M isn't he?

Which is 40m euro, which is approx £30m, which is what we've apparently been holding out for all summer.
 
Selling Hernandez and loaning Wilson is great news because it means we're definitely getting someone better, possibly 2 players. Not sure about Januzaj who I thought should be a cover for Mata on the right.

We don't even have any strikers in our U21s or U18s to throw in if required also.
 
Are we actually in for a proper striker yet? We've let two players that can play there go and another one might be off to the Baggies, or as they are now known, MUFC B Team.
 
It's more "fun" to mock the club, though.

We're getting around 17 million plus Navas, who I imagine would be worth at least 13 million. Around 30 million for a keeper with a year to go is fine.
I think it's more the fact, that the club has saying all summer DDG isn't going anywhere, then we sell him on the Spanish deadline day.
 
It is a decent deal for us when you consider that we are getting 25 mil for a keeper with only one year left on his deal, who doesn't want to be here. We're also getting Navas. That said, Real Madrid are basically letting us take Navas off their hands, and getting De Gea in return for only 25 mil - if he had 5 years left on his deal, he would be worth several times that. They have their GK department sorted for the next 10/15 years.

It's an excellent deal. Getting 29mil in itself would be top drawer for a keeper in the last year of his contract. Getting someone like navas on top of it excellent.

Aye, complete disgrace of a club. We might as well feck off all of us and go support FC United.

lol
 
All these favours we're doing West Brom surely we can discuss Berahino..

Like I said, circumstances taken into consideration and all that, it is a very good deal for us. I just think that Real will be the happier of two clubs. It's as win-win as it was going to get, but Real have just signed the only goalkeeper in the world that is even close to Neuer. I'm very happy we are signing Navas, of course. Always rated him.
 
I do find it amusing that the British journalists that missed Morgan Schneiderlin enter Carrington despite being outside to get video/photo footage of BFS arriving are now on a high horse in regards to the job done by others.

Of course ignoring the fact they've been behind their continental competition on every player we've signed for this season.
 
So you believe them not me, fair enough. However why not use context? I said he has superb reflexes and makes flashy saves, that's great. However you and them are not looking at the actual huge differences between the PL and La Liga, it's a simple case of him not having the right skill set for this league and at nearly 29 he isn't suddenly going to develop them.
We do have a goalkeeping coach. I'm sure Hoek won't just sit on his arse.
 
How is this possibly a bad deal for us? Yes, we should have secured him to a long term contract and the fact we didn't is unforgivable. But... Given the circumstances, £29m plus Navas is excellent. We would have taken £35m before today, so this is very good business. Navas is a professional and if he didn't want to come, he was under zero obligation. Hopefully the only positive thing (apart from the deal which i believe is very good for us bearing in mind DDG's contract situation) is that it will make the club realise that you cannot allow a player like this to run down his contract.

Did the club say it or did twitter journalists?

Also, why did you believe it? It was always about the fee, that much was obvious, I thought. We weren't going to keep a keeper happy to run down his contract.

Oh yes, no arguments there.

Actually we have not said that at all, we have always maintained that he could go if the price was right
 
How the feck do Real win here? It's an excellent deal for us.

We've got a massive downgrade in GK, being forced to take Navas as there's no time to get somebody better. Money in the bank granted but that's only "excellent" for the Glazers. In football terms, it's horrible.

On the contrary, van Gaal openly said we'd sell him but Real have to meet the asking price.

You either have certain skills or you don't, he's got his skills and they are suited to the league he was in where everything is on the deck. That logic is like suggesting we can coach Fellaini to play like Ibra.
 
Real Madrid's games are on every week on Sky Sports and I watch them all, plus I saw him in the World Cup, so count how many games that is and that is how often I saw him over the last year.



Romero is crap but Navas isn't the answer.
then who's the answer? Lloris? The one who keeps making blunders on fairly regular basis. or someone else? Navas was great prior to joining RM.

De gea was on the stands last time I checked as his heart wasn't in it anymore. Rather take the cash and the keeper than see him sitting on his ass for a year and leaving for free in the summer.

So by your logic if some player has skills for La liga he can't learn some new skills which are necessary for PL?

LVG likes and wanted Navas from the get go. We were not forced to take him.
 
Maybe there were three columns on the page Louis passed on to Woody. On the left, deadwood and (lower down) possible disposable assets. Long list, to be fair. In the middle, off-the-wall impossible muppet Galactico dreams. On the right was a list of sensible targets, replacements, brilliant coups. Woody likes (mostly) to work column by column.

there seems to be a few mis communications, but most reports seem to have Navas as part of the fee.

I'd be amazed if it's £29m plus him. That'd be an incredible deal!
