triggs Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 "The news is the documentation was not done on time. David de Gea was at his girlfriend’s house waiting, Keylor Navas was waiting, everything was signed and sent to Manchester but the stories coming out of the Spanish media are that Manchester United sent the paperwork back at 12.01pm Spanish time, so past the deadline. Any reason why this still wouldn't be allowed. I'm sure Spurs sign players after the deadline every year. Don't they normally say if the deal was agreed before the deadline it's ok ? I don't really have a clue how these things work or if you are correct but maybe the documentation they sent in late was the paperwork that proved the deal was agreed?

triggs Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 "Both MUFC & Real Madrid saying that DDG's paperwork submitted in time. Both parties agree... Everything depends on the LFP & UEFA now." So fucking obvious its going to go through Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'm sure I've seen past deals like this go through when it's been half an hour and stuff. Usually if the deal has been in the works all day it gets allowed. That's with the premier league though, so it will be up to La Liga. It's obviously a deadline set by them and not Uefa, otherwise all the deadlines would be at the same time. Given that it's La Liga and Real Madrid I'm sure the deal will happen. It would probably happen anyway with any club, since the rule isn't designed to change the course of a player's career over 1 minute and common sense will probably prevail.

Guest Gino14 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't know why they have to lie and can't just admit that it's at their disgression really. It's much the same way we have speed limits, but you won't get pulled over doing 32 in a 30 very often, because it's a waste of everyone's time and you need to apply a bit of common sense. There's limits but you need to think things through and just make a good decision on how harshly to apply the rule, on a case by case basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 would say i'm in the minority here with the deadline stuff, just don't see what difference it makes ok they've had all summer but shit changes, as long as there's an agreement between both clubs and player what does it matter if the paperwork is filed 1 minute or 2 hours later? red tape for the sake of it man, pointless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Is the Martial transfer fee for real? Spanish media are quoting €80m. Absolutely gobsmacked if true. I would guess €60m + €20m in bonuses as reported before. Might be the case though.. Yeah, €80m with all addons. I'm aware he's a prospect, but he didn't look anything special against Valencia and a cursory glance at his stats suggest that's a ludicrous price. It's really funny because he's a similar player to Welbeck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Christ, forgot Wellbeck existed. Had a half decent for month or two and bugger all since. I know he's had injuries but was way over-hyped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it should be as simple as a written, legally binding agreement signed before midnight that means the deal must proceed subject to medicals. Do all the paperwork later and gan to kip.
