I can't remember a situation quite like this happening before in football. What a complete mess!
So, DDG was supposed to be moving to Real Madrid all summer only for the transfer not to go through before they missed the transfer deadline by a few minutes! ManUtd are blaming Madrid, Madrid are blaming Man Utd.
Personally I think it's United's fault. They have a huge ego, even more so with Van Gaal in charge and I think there is a "we're too big to be pushed around" type of mentality going on at Old Trafford. I reckon ManUtd definitely felt pushed around by Madrid and De Gea and naturally weren't in a hurry to get the deal done.
Van Gaal dropping De Gea to the bench and not playing him all season, as well as Valdes is a reflection of this ego.
Whoever is to blame. It's too late now and De Gea stays at Man Utd, but what happens now?? Is Van Gaal going to pick De Gea in the next team selection of leave him out cuz of pride/ego?? If DDG concedes a few goals, makes mistakes, are the fans going to turn on him?? If DDG doesn't get picked at all and is left to rot on the bench, this could effectively ruin his career, as players at the top level need to stay active.
Do Real Madrid come back for him in January? Or get him on the free next summer??
Sooooo many questions .... What a complete mess!
