I believe the Nathan Bishop deal has been signed for weeks, but the delay is because the club has had unexpected difficulty in securing the services of this magician for the reveal.
The fact he's got a year left to run on his contract is probably a bit of an obstacle for starters! Is he out of favour anyway? He was on the bench v Brighton.
To be fair @Otter87 Henderson's bursting was at the hierarchy and Ole promising him he would be No 1. I would imagine once the ship has steadied and De Gea moves on at the end of the season, they'll probably have him back once he was secured Forest's survival.
Wasn't he promised the no1 spot before getting Covid - which meant De Gea started the season, then he had a mini renaissance and kept his spot? I don't think the situation was quite how he painted it in his interview the other week. But I do think he's missed his window of opportunity to become no1 at United and is best to move on at the end of this season (although there's no OTB in the Forest loan deal).
The deadline of Tuesday likely because that would be Tyla’s fifth game, and therefore if he plays would make us ineligible for an emergency loan should he be fit and in the squad.

Maybe, given the pertinent comments by @bookertease above, we can keep the thread going whether he signs or not?

@Chris you might be on to something here. All we need is Bishop's DNA and then we can grow our own Keeper!
Will any old Bishop do?
Didnt we do the Harold Bishop jokes back in the golden years of Nathan Bishop set to sign? Back in 2021 wasnt it?
This doesn't sound very convincing on the GK front to me. Three weeks. Tick-tock. https://twitter.com/wwfcofficial/status/1557636299850502144?t=R1OeAx45_D0-_fnQrXvWqA&s=19
We've won 2 and lost 1 (competitive games) and it's now 32 pages ..... YCMIU!
Even without the signing of Mawson (yeah!), how can this in anyway be construed as not convincing on the GK front.
GA is literally quotes as saying we want to bring in 1 or 2 more players!
He says he hopes. We need a bit more than hope! But these big signings often come in twos and threes, right...?
United have just agreed a season loan for someone, so we can still hope bishop will be ours soon.
I don’t think you announce another signing on the same day after Mawson, he’s clearly the headline act
Definitely.
You'd be one hell of a signing to not be massively overshadowed by that one!
You really have got it in for Gareth this season haven't you @ReturnToSenda has he run over your cat...just after pissing on @Wanderers82 's chips?
Yeah, we're signing De Gea
(lol, we have higher standards than that)
I haven't
If as somebody suggested earlier Heaton is out of favour, why not just go in for him? We do love an ex player.
The fact he's got a year left to run on his contract is probably a bit of an obstacle for starters! Is he out of favour anyway? He was on the bench v Brighton.
He ain't starting matches. I'd consider him dropped! Also, would you like to be a Man Utd player at the moment......?
I read in the paper that the new manager wanted a replacement for Henderson. Perhaps not convinced with Heaton. Paper talk only ?
Either way, not a snowball's chance in Milton Keynes he comes back to Wycombe this window
Well after Henderson's out-burst after signing on loan to Forest can only mean that he won't be playing for Utd again
Better late than never, I guess https://twitter.com/ianbakersport/status/1557725207749890048

Henderson was outstanding for Forest against Newcastle at the weekend. Man Utd really messed that up. He should be their No1 right now.
The deadline of Tuesday likely because that would be Tyla’s fifth game, and therefore if he plays would make us ineligible for an emergency loan should he be fit and in the squad.
Very perceptive. Great point.
What's Barry Richardson up to these days? I'm sure Matty Ingram could manage a couple of weeks without a coach...
OTB ? I did try.
