That could easily be true without it being our fuck up.

We can't force Madrid to bid for our players, if they wanted to engage in brinkmanship then fine. But if they didn't leave themselves enough time for both parties to complete a transfer (and bare in mind that by virtue of the deal they offered we were having to negotiate with a keeper that, by all accounts, was reluctant to move) then they've got no one to blame but themselves.

We had the exact same thing happen when we went to sign Contreo from them with approximately 3 seconds left of the transfer window. I don't think we put out a statement blaming everybody else but ourselves in that instance, we knew we'd fucked it.

He can't really afford not to be playing if he wants to make Spain's Euro squad.

As far as I understand it, van Gaal just kept him out till the window closed, hell be back in the squad for sure. Probably what a lot of United fans wanted in the end, I can see him going in January but it gives you time to replace him properly.

On a second note, how come Valdes isnt playing? Surely hes better than Romero? I legitimately thought he left you guys till someone mentioned hes still at United yesterday

Yeah, exactly the same as West Brom are doing. I can see LVG being a loon and making it a point of principle to keep him out though, but I hope that does not happen.

Valdes refused to play for the reserves last year (he was eligible for 13 reserve games and only played in 3) which, rightfully, irked Van Gaal. He was on the verge of going to Besiktas but something happened. If he stays he might get the chance to patch things up, but the perception is he used us a free physio and thats rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way. I imagine Sam Johnstone would get a chance before Valdes does.

So we've offered £5m for Berhino with more in add-ons and installments. Did they really think that was going to work? Jesus fucking christ.

Hope Martial does well, may end up being an amazing signing, who knows!

As for De Gea - again hahahaha Madrid. But yeah it's good we're getting another season out of him, gives us a chance to identify a top target for the next year, rather than settling for Navas. I think De Gea will act professionally and just get on with this season, he has to play games if he wants to get in the Euro 2016 squad. Shame we're not going to get the £29M, but I'm so glad we pissed Real Madrid off - who only have themselves to blame.

Berahino is acting like a complete twat.

Little surprised Norwich have let him go given he was a key man in their promotion last year.

Don't think there'll be much transfer dealings between the two clubs for awhile.

Strange to think that Man Utd's only real options in central defence are still Jones, Rojo, Smalling, McNair (and now Blind) after what they have bought this summer.

Everton getting Lennon and Funes Mori full transfer. Shocking that that's the only bit of business they've done when they were in talks with Yarmolenko, van Dijk, de Guzman, and, since they were targeting River Plate players, quite possibly should've gone after the better RP defender in Alvarez Balanta.

Beyond belief that we let Lennon, Stambouli & Capoue leave but keep hold of Fazio, Lamela & Adebayor, especially as Adebayor probably wont be playing. The fact that we're heading into the rest of the season with 1 striker is madness. We could call up a youth team striker but for some stupid reason we sold our best one to Wolfsburg yesterday.

Pretty bizarre move, this. They've massively overpaid for arguably the third best centre-back of an Argentine side. So many things have to go right for that to be worthwhile it's ridiculous. Speaks decent English though, that's something.
