Horrible boss
Soooo we are not signing anyone?
Nope. Absolutely clueless squad management.

I'm going to bed. I know it's the middle of the afternoon, but I've seen enough.
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.
Sums up our posters.Sums it up
Madrid took 2 hours to send contracts signed by Navas and DDG to United.The point Real are making is that United are the ones who contacted Real yesterday morning. Presumably they themselves (Real) were prepared to let events take their course. But United delayed so long in opening negotiations that insufficient time was left to complete a complex deal.
We'll have to await United's response. If we make one.
That doesn't work though, the honus isn't on us to do anything at all. He's our player and there was a clear asking price. They can't blame us for delaying when they've had the whole summer but left it till the last 24 hours to make an acceptable offer. They're making out as if they bid whatever it was £29m and Navas 2 months ago but we responded saying we accepted yesterday morning. That's obviously not what happened, we entered negotiations yesterday morning because that's when Real finally made an acceptable offer, they have only themselves to blame.The point Real are making is that United are the ones who contacted Real yesterday morning.

Why would he bother coming back here if he's a big success at Dortmund, they'll have given him the time to succeed, so maybe he'll see them as a better place to ply his trade.
I imagine it will be pretty simple, we have contacted them to say it's the last day of their transfer window to buy, do they want him...they have sorted an agreement, we sorted out paperwork and they got to last minute and decided they can just get him free next season anyway...and didn't bother submitting. But in Real Madrid style they don't want to make themselves look bad, so they pass the blame.The point Real are making is that United are the ones who contacted Real yesterday morning.

I simply refuse to believe that. Letting this kid go at likely a cut-rate price would be absolutely idiotic. I'd imagine Giggs would quit if that were the case

Been nice knowing you Adnan.
Not sure how that would go down. If he does opt for the reserves we're playing Romero in net for the season...New contract or reserve for a year. United should issue an ultimatum IMO.
Not convinced that's the best way of motivating a player to stay, to be honest.New contract or reserve for a year. United should issue an ultimatum IMO.
in regards to our season and this window.

Can't for the life of me see a player who was literally seconds away from leaving us signing a new deal, just doesn't make sense.

Another t*at blocked..been a busy day.
Probably because he's contracted here.
I've had a huge cull over the past few days, making the forum quite bearable.
