A more relevant example, for the benefit of @ItsEssexRob would be Torres.
I think it was reported that his wages at PSG are lesser than what he was getting here. You're right about the rest
We are going around in circles here. What makes you think that his earlier managers did not ask him to modify his game a bit or Blanc won't ask him to play a certain role? Would he throw his toys out of the pram again?
Disagreement with a manager is fine but you play for the shirt and it is your duty to give it all. No matter what he felt, as long as he was here he should have worked his arse off to get back in the team and prove that he is worth the price we bought him for. A lack of desire to prove your doubters wrong is most worrying. Glad we got rid if he actually went AWOL and didn't care to be here in the first place.
Completely agree with the bold part. Just goes to show he did not have the ability or the confidence to be counted as the main man. Would suit him well to be in Zlatan's shadow.
I think he will be a big fish in a small pond in France, with Zlatan (pending any movement he may make to a different club) being the only bigger fish around.
The only thing that makes me feel that his problem is LvG's methods is that he was never known a problem player at Real. So I am assuming he had some other issues. Again I am not saying LvG's methods are wrong or this player is right. But somehow their thoughts may have not matched.
Anyways he is going and I guess it is better for both him and us.
Torres was shit before he joined us.
Maybe, I quote it more in jest myself though! However Torres was already injury prone and clearly in decline, plus United fans hadnt been used to a spate of marquee signings so the reactions to Falcao and ADM were particularly overblown.
Then Schevchenko. I am sure the 10 Chelsea fans at that time did not expect him to perform like shit.
There was already doubt over Torres, many eyebrows were raised at Chelsea paying that sort of fee when he was already showing clear signs of decline, but some people put it down to him being sick of playing for Liverpool and wanting a move.
The reaction to signing ADM was appropriate, it was a massive signing and should have been a game changer for us. Falcao was always a gamble, but I think most people wanted to believe he could rediscover his old self.

Which plum decided he was worth £50m then? I thought he needed to regain match fitness, but the truth was he had lost pace due to injuries. Smart move by Liverpool, to be fair.
This thread is just filled with hate,I'm not his biggest fan but how are people calling him names for wanting to go to his preferred destination which is clearly the best option for him?
It's actually funny when you realise that most of the people calling him names and what not were the same people that refused to admit he was having a terrible season - the same people who were quick to throw the agenda card, Can't forget the ones who refuted the claims that he was unhappy when it was blatant.

I don't know anyone can care or get so angry about a player who played for us for one year and barely achieved anything. It's just not worth getting that annoyed over. He's gone now, oh well.
He deserves to be called names for being a lazy, money grabbing, effort lacking pussy feck
You should have been able to get £50m for him even last year according to Caf logic with Di Maria transfer.
Pathetic cnut
What a pussy hes turning out to be, hope we have not paid him a single dime during all this.
Not like he didn't try to succeed or anything.
While the city is much nicer I don't think weather is really a factor there, is it?
Effort during the second half of the season was highly questionable I'll give you that, but he was up for it up until January at which point he might have already started negotiations with Man City of Paris.
Im calling him names cause I enjoy it.
Weather in Paris is definitely better than Manchester.
Which is why so many people think he's a dick. So why are you so bemused by the abuse he's getting?
The second paragraph is spot on. I can the names the one who were busy mocking anyone who suggested that he might leave with comments like "mind readers", "body language readers", "gullible fools who believe everything in the tabloids' and other inane comments.
fecker still sleeping or what? I pray to God he won't fail his medical
Does that mean when PSG are on BT I can boo everytime he gets the ball and throw popcorn at the TV?
There might have been a couple but mostly di Maria got a lot of stick last season from many posters and rightfully so

Im going to throw cups of my urine at the TVDoes that mean when PSG are on BT I can boo everytime he gets the ball and throw popcorn at the TV?
We won't all be rushing round to watch their games with you then?
You actually believe he gave his all for the club?
He was lazy and uninterested from about December onwards. He was given a few more games to prove himself, notably against Arsenal in the cup and he fecked up. The fact Young and Mata kept him out of the team says it all, they worked harder and put in far better performances.
Di Maria did not try to succeed.
Not pointing you out, mate.
I wasn't talking about people who were criticizing his effort and performances, sometimes rightly so, more those who refused to believe that he didn't look happy and could be off.
Nobody could deny he didn't look happy, but all the newspapers were reporting that him and his family had found somewhere else to live and he wanted to stay. I just want rid and as soon as possible.
If he was so uninterested, as you and many others keep stating, in the latter stages of the season, why was he still assisting goals? Even in that joke performance against WBA, he created an easy opportunity for Rojo and also hit the target with a very good shot, late on. If van Gaal felt that di Maria wanted out, then he would not have started him against Hull, on the last day.
Fact is, something happened over the last few weeks that seems to have pushed him out of the door. It was only recently, that he gave an interview stating how he wanted to fight for his place. However, since then, he seems to have changed his mind. Maybe he spoke to van Gaal about his future and wasn't given assurances, we don't really know.
Regardless of the position he finds himself in, he helped us get back to CL and that's all I care about. If he wants to leave, so be it, we'll move on as we always do. No point in being bitter about it.
You can always visit Paris but you can't always play in the PL week in week out. The weather well...any player can adapt to the weather in 1 month, it hasn't held back Suarez, Aguero and Sanchez in their performances so it shouldn't even matter. And a ligue 1 title would never outweigh the thrill of the PL for me. Overall I feel it's a lack of mentality on his part unless his family genuinely hates Manchester but that's my 2 cents.
Yeah, even Di Maria himself, what a fecking idiot
Which goes back to my earlier point about this thread, he is being vilified for his performances, effort (or lack thereof) during the second half of the season ? But if I can remember correctly that was "LVGs fault", we weren't playing him in his "preferred position - the CM position", "He wasn't the one to blame" for his misfortunes.
The caf isn't a hive mind with a single unanimous opinion. There were a lot of people (me included) who were infuriated by his lack of effort and general sloppiness while he was still playing for us. Chances are it's those same people who are most vocal in the villification since he looks like leaving.
He was still lazy and disappeared for much of the match and he got most of his assists in the first part of the season IIRC.
Looking back at his quotes about staying here and wanting to be a legend that he made about a month ago, couldn't he have just said that to keep the peace whilst his transfer was being worked on? He couldn't come out and say he was leaving until it was 110% certain. Really wasn't anything else for him to say was there? Similar to Suarez when he was continually asked about leaving Liverpool, he said it right up to about a week or two before his move I believe.
I'm not bitter, more disappointed that we gave him everything we possibly could to prove himself in one of the best leagues in world football and he was a dick about it. He took his ball and went home sort of speak.
I think Rio said it best with this:
That's the most annoying thing for me, if a player wants to leave for whatever possible reason then we really have to accept it. However while you're at the club, be the best professional player you can be and clearly Di Maria wasn't that, he was lazy and extremely disappointing.
I was so upset when people pretended that Di Maria was playing as CM for more than a season, Di Maria was/is a very good winger he just didn't performed well for us, the position is just a very bad excuse.
