There's noise about De Gea's move to Real being scuppered as United sent in the paperwork 1 minute late.

Would Griezmann want to join us though ?

cash is king, and the epl is gold rush status at the moment. money and value have no meaning anymore. we'll need to wade into the fray at some point.

Nah, they'll push it through.

that sounds like United fans clutching whatever they can

So we signed Nobody upfront?
Has anyone got highlights?
Is he any good?

We have a whole day to sign players. UK window isnt closed.

As we are explaining in @AlPrimerToque the presentation was organised for 1pm tomorrow and de Gea even had a special suit for it

😆

De Gea deal is still bound to go through. Didn't we end up only confirming the Arshavin transfer like two days after the window closed?

That's just how long it takes Arsenal.com to update their website.

Apparently this is Wenger landing in Paris today.
Probably to do some TV work.

Harsh on Wenger Y man needs to earn a living.

La Liga says the documents did not arrive on time. UEFA will look at the case tomorrow. Both RM and United pushing for it to happen

Now we are hearing that United did send the documents on time but in a format that couldn't be opened at the LFP. Windows 95?

it will probably be forced through somehow, but still 😆

this tops the 'impostor' agents in the herrera deal

I think I could take not signing anyone if it meant that idiot Ben Fairthorne had his lungs collapse in on themselves.

Sid Lowe - who isn't one to chat shit - confirms the above as well

@sidlowe

It is RM's responsibility to get papers to LFP, not ManU's (that's how it has been explained to me)

That's for registering him with league. International transfer, which comes through first (don't know if this has), through automated system

Which opens intriguing possibility that RM have got De Gea's transfer through but not registered him in time (but transfer would... 1/2...

...2/2 ... Almost certainly carry a clause that says transfer depended on (subsequent) registration. So, w/o that, becomes void.

We know about paperwork not reaching LFP in time, but we haven't been told about step before that: the transfer (as far as I am aware)

If transfer done (and we all assume it is, or it probably wouldn't have even got to paperwork exchanging phase), then this ... 1/2...

.. 2/2 ... Now comes down to basic question: can RM persuade LFP to register him despite late arrival? (I would guess so but don't know)

Anyway, as I said: sleep on it, (I suspect) things'll look different in the morning

RM can get the Spanish government to write off millions of euros of their debt, something tells me they'll manage to push the De Gea transfer through.

100m euro transfer going down tomorrow in London. You heard it here first. #DeadlineDay #transferwindow #SkySports

never heard of him, but he's an actual agent, and looking at his time line he seems to be connected and not spraying bs rumours around
