When all's said and done the onus was on Real, not us: they wanted a player who we were reluctant to sell; it was up to them to get things sorted, ages ago.

Them complaining about United taking 8 hours to go over the contract is hilarious.
 
Some things to note about that statement:

1. We took our time about checking the contracts. Nothing wrong with that; we are entitled to do our due diligence on it.
2. After accepting the changes, Real took almost two hours to get DDG and Navas to sign their respective contracts, by which time the window was coming to a close. What happened that took so long? Took us less than 20 minutes to come to an agreement with Navas's people.
3. We got our documentation into the system on time, but Real couldn't. This seems like a flaw in the TMS, TBH.
4. Real were invited to register DDG, but elected not to, instead referring the case to the PFL. Hence the reports that no registration was made. I'm not sure why they couldn't have done both if they thought it contentious. It would at least have given them grounds for appeal.

The big thing for me is that 2 hours between us sending the revised contracts and Real getting them signed. If, as we were led to believe, both Navas and de Gea were ready to go, why did it take so long for one or both of them to sign their contracts? That's certainly not our fault!

Good analysis. Bolded part is the weird bit. What took so long?
 
I absolutely love Ian Holloway as a character but he isn't half talking some garbage on SSN.

Obviously Charlie nicholas doing the same goes without saying.
 
For those of you wondering 'what Fergie's making of all this': he's busy having a mani-pedi from Holloway and Allardyce.

Was Navas ready to go? Seemed like he didn't want to leave Spain, never mind Madrid.

All their pundits are just shit. Holloway's superior knowledge of how to run a football club got Millwall relegated in his last job.
 
Jorge Mendes & Real Madrid can feck off. That club is a circus & I'm tired of them. From this day on, I really do hope we adopt the policy other clubs seem to have. Not deal with Jorge Mendes. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
 
How can Real be so upset about a transfer they weren't actively pursuing up until yesterday? They don't have a right to the player and if they wnated them this badly then why not splash the cash.

If you're going to go cheap on a deal because you think the ball is your court then don't complain when it blows up in your face.
 
"Sir how much does that bread cost?"
"It costs £2"
"I'll offer you 40pence?"
"No it costs £2"

- Some time later -

"Are you willing to take my offer of 40pence?"
"No. It costs £2 and if you don't move quickly, it will have passed its sell by date"

- Some time later -

"Ok. Here's £2"
"Thank you. Here you go".

- Moves to take the bread -

"This bread has gone off. I can't buy this. You have embarrassed and humiliated yourself Sir"

I reckon, if Fergie was here. DDG would have either been sold weeks ago or not at all.
Real would have been told to feck off with their last day deal.
We're an embarrassment for having let this situation go to the last day. Real should have been set a deadline and after that deadline told to feck off.

Again, this is like complaining that a criminal was acquitted because the prosecution couldn't provide damning evidence. Dea Gea wanted to leave; Real wanted to sign him; it was up to them - not us - to seal the deal well before the final day.

We also would have required a replacement. So in our own interests, we should have told them to feck off a month ago.
Once they came calling on the last day they should have been told to do one, end of.

I can't grasp how anyone would believe Utd are at fault in this debacle. Madrid have been ridiculous.
 
i don't even think real care that they didn't sign him. They were "meh" about the whole deal this summer, a huge contrast when you look at how they go for others player they actually do want.

They're just saving face because they don't want to look like they fecked up.
 
Real are arrogant and believe they can click their castanets and everyone will dance to their tune and then blame anyone but themselves for their ineptitude. I hope we shoot them down with a really strong response.
