He'll face us from the stands

[Exiled_red]

Not sure if I want him to play against us or not, he is a top quality keeper, but his head can't be right.

It'd be funny if he decided to score some OG's a protest

[Fivex]

So much for fax machines eh!

So weird that this deal has not gone through. The amount of time both clubs had to sort it out. United will be delighted De Gea is there until January...lucky pricks. Personally I think when he gets his chance back in the sticks, he'll be professional and get on with it. Guy is world class.

Well thats £29 mill they cant spunk away on yet another nobody before the window slams shut

Good old Google translate

Excellent stuff, Gaal is bound to make him rot on the sidelines for at least half a season, will be a massive falling out at some point then they lose him for free next summer. I'm sure they'll sign Neuer though, especially with all his ex Bayern teammates there now.

And good luck to the Mancs deluding themselves that he'll be professional, they only finally agreed to get rid of him after he was sulking and stinking the joint out in pre season.

I know it is google translate but that seems quite an aggressive statement, it sounds like they are not happy with Man Utd I wonder if Man Utd were deliberately trying to sabotage the deal, 8hrs to do some minor changes with the deadline 8.5hrs away seems either suspicious or incompetent. I wonder if Madrid will go back and buy him in Jan or will want to piss Man Utd off by just waiting until the summer to get him on a free.

I bet De Gea is really pissed off about it.

It seems in point 9 Real were worried about being challenged at some point in the season for fielding an incorrectly registered player.....

It's very small-time isn't it.

van Gaal is doing a wonderful job of pissing people off. Alienating players, chucking massive amounts of wedge at tosh and having a very thin squad.

Has the Spanish loan window closed?
