If Woodward sent those papers 1 minute too late..with sly amendments.......and we've signed Navas.. ..this will be the greatest troll of all time.
Do yourself a favor and head over to the Madrid transfer forum. This sleepyvato lad is having an emotional episode over there. He's losing his shit. And it's hilarious.
law is always a step behind technology. electronic signatures are not acceptable for a lot of contracts.
Balague on Sky saying there is precedent for this with us and RM, happened with Coentrao and La Liga wouldnt allow any extensions then. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23941584 His feeling is that La Liga will follow the rules on this one, so its off. He was also suggesting that there was still a disagreement over the fee on the paperwork they sent us that we had to send back. If this is what we wanted, then great. If this is us being incompetent then not great. Without being in the know, it is not clear how to interpret this news ...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. If this is true, I'm getting Woodward on the back of my jersey. Hilarious. Aw man, best transfer day ever.
Well I'm glad we're keeping a player we won't play (confirming Romero's place in the process) in order to make some nebulous point and get in some lulz. Just about sums up the way this club is run at the moment.
Good. DDG can either put on his big boy pants, sign an extension that will give us the fee we deserve next summer and play for his Euro spot or rot in the stands for a season.
Well, guys, running a football club is not a zero-sum game. A lot of transfer dealings await in the future, and a lot of players see all this.
United fans shouldn't get too excited about De Gea staying. If today is anything to go by, he'll be on loan at West Brom by tomorrow.— Rob Dawson (@RobDawsonESPN) August 31, 2015
United say they have the TMS receipt proving documentation in on time over De Gea. Navas deal doesn't matter as can be completed tomorrow— James Ducker (@TelegraphDucker) August 31, 2015
Exactly. It has gotten lost in the insanity today, but I'm wondering if VV changing his social media profile photo to our badge signifies that he and LVG have patched things up.
He should buy a comfortable suit. I still think the deal will get done in the next few hours. If there's a club for who the rules do not apply it's Madrid. edit: Twitter already saying that we have proof that the transfer was registered with FIFA before midnight, with timestamps and all. DDG will be a Madrid player in the am.
