Desperately hope this doesn't fall through. Even however likely it seems, Woodward could fook anything up.

You are going to be so disappointed

Saw that picture the other day, it could easily happen knowing Woodward.

£63.9 million fee then. About fooking time we spent in the same ball park as Barca and Real.

Exactly. I can't believe some Utd fans are moaning about the price LOL. To buy quality players you need to pay big amounts of money.

ADM will give us more pace and hopefully more ideas!

We should thank Cristiano, he advised Di Maria to go to us if he wanted to leave :worship:
ONLY Ed Woodward can screw this up now...............

At least there is no chance Real Madrid are getting those Prem/Cl win bonuses :laugh: :p

Can I ask why you guys keep blaming Ed??? Granted last year was his fault HOWEVER this summer it's all on LVG with his pathetic " I need time to assess" rubbish. HOW MUCH ****ING TIME DO YOU NEED TO SEE we have no midfield and no defence and players like Ashley Tony Tom Chris and Darren should be nowhere near our first team

Being completely honest LVG has been a complete mess this summer.
Formation/Tactics have been beyond poor
Making Wayne captain

Signing Di Maria is a step in the right direction however let's not kid ourselves he is 20 mil overpriced and although will improve us going forward greatly he is a luxury buy in the sense there are two areas IN MUCH DIRE NEED of improvement

Also don't be expecting great immediate impact from Angel if we have the likes of Tom and Darren passing him the ball. As he will have to take on 5-6 players as they won't be playing advanced balls to find him in space and in 1vs1 situations

Is this the guy that gave the ball away over 50 times in one of the World cup matches?

It's the guy who almost single handedly(along with Ramos) won Real the CL Final.

22 goals in 124 appearances for Real. Is that all? :shocked:

I rate Di Maria as a player, but as I mentioned in the football thread it doesn't feel like a man united signing, the biggest selling point of Man United in the past was the way they would find the talented youngsters and through Fergies skill turn them into the finished article, meaning that Fergie seldom had to spend big money in the transfer market. It is very telling that post Fergie the club have gotten into this trend of quick fix 'brand name' signings, something which has been seen with Mata and Di Maria.

I don't doubt he's a great player, but he's a very un-Man U signing IMO.

Doesn't really answer my question, but I do believe it is that guy who gave the ball away over 50 times in one match.

Almost single handedly is not single handedly.

Is there a reason why Real Madrid are getting rid? teams usually try to keep their best players.

I can see him being a flop.

Because Real is forever in need of a new shiny toy. Nothing new. Their fan survey said 96% wanted him to stay over signif James Rodriquez.

Massive overspend

So many have praised Di Maria as one of the best in the world until......................he is connected with Man U, then he is awful.
Pure jealousy. If Chelsea had signed him then everybody would be calling him a genius.
Di Maria is not being brought in for goals but to help RVP & Rooney get goals.
He had more assists than any other player in La Liga last season.
This is a statement signing by us. We can still attract the big names.
That's unless Deadwood screws it up...........

Looks like a panic buy to me and in the panic they've paid over the odds for him.

How is it a panic buy ?
We have been linked with him since before the World Cup.
His price tag was always going to be high.
Balotelli is a panic buy.

Fooking lol at panic buy. I'd gladly take 10 panic buys of Di Maria's quality.

Why are Real getting rid? They don't want to. He wants to leave. Besides, even if Real wanted rid how is that a bad thing? A Real reject generally isn't a bad thing. Robben can testify to that.

You don't want ten Di Maria's, you'd never be able to keep possession of the ball, not with all the times he gives it away.

Either you're on a WUM, or you're a fool.

Downplay Di Maria all you like. He's world class. Every team overpays nowadays.

Could you tell me who scored the winner in the game Di Maria gave the ball away 50 times? ...

Oh, it was Di Maria... Top players can have terrible games, yet score winners.

No doubt if Dithering Dave had signed Di Maria it'd be a different story.

Yes it was and a good finish too after good play by Messi, but that still doesn't take away that he gives the ball away far too much, he was just lucky the opposition on the day were not good enough.

He gives it away too much based on one game? I've seen Scholes not pass accurately for United before... guess he gave it away too much.

That maybe so, but I don't watch him week in week out, so I can only go by what I've seen of him.

It's 63m including the add ons. Chances of us winning the league or CL anytime soon and the fee ever getting to that number is unlikely and if it does....well who cares as he would if proven to be a huge hit :laugh:

Yeah, I heard that. Any idea what the initial fee is?

Edit: £59 million initial fee. Rising to £63.9 million.

People seem to be forgetting one small thing

WILL HE START???

With the fee we are paying you would assume so but can he play at a consistently high level to displace Sir Gashley who has performed at an incredible standard so far

Game against Swansea- 8 crosses, 1 successful


Game against Sunderland - 7 crosses, 0 successful

The above stats don't lie and Di Maria will have to be on the top of his powers to dislodge him in his current form

Yawn

TBH fullbacks in the EPL would prefer to face Angel then Ashley. Although Angel has pace to burn Ashley's trickery and skill makes him a defenders nightmare. More importantly I think Ashley's end product is the real difference between the two and Angel will have to develop that part of his game if he wants to start in this team on a regular basis

£59.7 million deal agreed, all the press reporting it. Depending if certain clauses are met it will rise to £63.9 million.

Great deal and very realistic figure for ADM, bring on the official confirmation tomorrow:D.

Let's not kid ourselves as usual we have been bent over and held ransom once again great signing but is about 20 mil overpriced

Although it's a 1000X the deal Ashley for 20mil in the last year of his contract was. Now if we can get Vidal for Chico + cash the summer would have been a success

We'd need to put in an insane offer for Vidal, tbh. Apparently Juve set a deadline of last Friday for him to move. Not much time for a replacement either...

unless we give 'em fat Ando. Rofl.

Jammy bastards, such a good signing.
