Yeah, I'd be fecking livid if we sold him at such a loss. A 10m loss is palatable as everyone knew we overpaid for him, but even at 40-45m pounds, it'd be a bad bit of football business from us. We need to tell PSG to pay up or shut up.

To be fair, we don't know how much they've offered so as Sydney Youngblood once famously said 'all we can do is sit and wait'.
I will happily bet anything we won't sell him for less than £30m... or £40m for that matter.
Considering we are using Depay as a no 10 (whether that will be his main position remains to be seen)
It will be annoying getting rid of him, as i reckon this is Di Maira best position and does his most damage, a free role behind the striker, roaming in any attacking position. I would put money of him being the player of the year if he played here.
Unless PSG are prepared to pay 50m, at that price with the exchange rate it evens it self out, i would keep him for another year.

Hope he is being fined for his behaviour. Thats where it hurts the most in his case
Surely we have to fine the cnut a million pounds if he is refusing to board the plane to join up wirh the squad. Throw the kitchen sink and him and all that.
We should not be selling him for less than £40m, not because he's worth that much (season before 13-14 Real would have been happy to sell him for £30m) but because it's too much of a hit to take for us and frankly not worth it. Even if he's going to be crap for the next 3 years it's better having him on the bench as a squad player than sell him for £28m.
There was talk of Rojo getting fined £140k for not boarding the plane, so I assume he'll get a similar fine. In Rojo's case though he's not a cnut, he just forgot to renew his passport
.We're gonna look like idiots once again after he goes to PSG, overpaid a feck load for him and selling him for a year later just to watch him recapture his form and be a world beater again.
For some reason reading all the stories when we signed him I always felt he wanted the PSG move more.
Will always be a pussy of a player in my eyes, one tough season and he throws in the towel.
I cant see him recapture his form. I think he'll just continue his poor form in PSG. Which then wont make us idiots so much.There was talk of Rojo getting fined £140k for not boarding the plane, so I assume he'll get a similar fine.

So, what's the most you can fine him at once two weeks wages?
For goodness sake get this miserable lanky lilly livered prat out of Old Trafford and forever known and and remembered as the sulky cowardly flop that he is.
This is asking alot tbh. If there is one league you have the space to refind form it's the french league.
He'll tear it up for fun if he goes, specially if he's put in a midfield with veratti.
I dont see it.
In his whole career he had one outstanding season.
We'll see in a year or in half a year.

I really don't think we look bad at all.
We bought him, he had trouble adapting to the league and rather than fighting for his spot and doing all he can to prove his quality, he sulked, gave up and forced a move to an easy league.
I think it's him that looks absolutely spineless, weak and pathetic, not United.
We overpaid massively and now its coming home to roost, I did read either on here or a comment box somewhere. "We have paid 60 million for a supporting actor, not a main man" which struck a chord with me.
I liked ADM at Real, but couldn't believe we broker the British transfer record for him, personally get as close as 40 million for him and take the hit on the loss.
Put faith in Adnan and if he fills his early promise, the Angel will be a far away memory, what makes me laugh is that his family seem to think Paris is a dreamland, I think they will have a culture shock once he signs that it is no Madrid in terms of weather.

The shittiest part is that now that we got great options in midfield to let him loose, like Argentina in the WC, he's getting out. It's very frustrating because he's a monumental player and we won't get the money we payed in the first place.
Him and Depay behind Rooney with a 433 midfield made of Schneiderlin, Bastian and Herrera would be so amazing.

I don't and never will understand this sort of opinion. di Maria has plied his trade in a position where, in the modern era, very few players have found much success. Where the likes of Robben, Ronaldo, Ribery, Messi, Ronaldinho and others made the shift towards the more successful wide forward position of the front three, di Maria continued to find relative success in the ever declining winger position whilst playing second fiddle to his "galactico" team mates at Real Madrid and Argentina.
Aged 22 when he moved to RM, he managed to accumulate 9 goals and 14 assists in 42 starts in his first season.
In his second season (an injury plagued one), he scored 7 and assisted 16 in 23 starts.
In his third season, he scored 11 and assisted 11 in 37 starts.
In his last season (his outstanding season), he scored 12 and assisted 23 in 44 starts.
In total, whilst predominately playing with likes of Ronaldo, Ozil, Bale, Isco, Benzema and more, he scored 39 and assisted 64 in a total of 146 starts (193 apps).
Yes, stats don't tell the full story. But when you rack up the numbers he has, and add the fact that he's still pretty young, they seem to illustrate a giant chunk of a story. People seem to let their emotions get the better of them, which is the classic case on here. He may have had one WC season, however, 27 goals and 41 assists in 102 starts from the other three would are far from average seasons.
If we sell him, I fully expect him to tear the Ligue 1 apart, and I expect him to help PSG mount a proper CL challenge. I mean this is the guy who led Real to their infamous La Decima...
You expect him to tear the Ligue 1 apart, I dont expect it. That's that.
So, do we know where he is currently?
He didn't lead Real Madrid to La Decima, he was good for them that season but let's not pretend that they'd have had no chance without him.
Last year, exactly the same was said when we had Falcao, Rooney, RVP, Di Maria, Mata.
You are basically saying exactly the same thing with a different set of players.
ADM is not suited to the EPL. LVG knows it. ADM himself knows it, but our fans seem reluctant to realise this.
Probably putting on a mask and about to break into Marcos Rojo's house...
None of the are midfielders capable of providing quality service upfront, like we have today. The quality we got in this area affects directly the attack and the defense significantly. Not to mention that Depay brings something the others, bar Angel, didn't. Pace.
I don't think it's nailed on, that Di Maria is not suited for the EPL. He was monumental in the Champions League, ffs.
Ummm... did you forget the part that he was man of the match and the goal that put them into the lead was a direct result of his solo run through Atletico's defence?
All his previous contributions/accolades seem to have been forgotten.
It is very much true though. He's at the Nani level overall, maybe slightly above but there's not much in it. Two exciting, creative if slightly inconsistent wingers who've both had one standout season.
He's only had one very good season and even that has been exaggerated by a fair degree since he joined us because he played well in the CL final. Some would even swear that he was fantastic in the WC when in truth he was rather shite.
This. He was inconsistent throughout his career bar that one season.
And did you forget the part were they were losing the game until Ramos scored a 94th minute equalizer? So can we now claim that Ramos single-handedly won them CL?
He was shockingly bad in the WC; even the BBC did a video montage of how bad he was, this was way before there were solid rumours of him coming to us. But overall I agree with you, he looks explosive and very dangerous on times but those times are very few and very far between.
If you are basing Di Maria's pedigree as a world class footballer on his MotM performance in the CL final you can also do the same for Bale in that game, who offered the worst performance of his life, he was terrible. It was a drab performance from more or less everybody involved from both teams.
What i don't get with some of these SA players is they move to europe to live/work so it's not as if they are complete homebirds, then they agree to sign for an english side for an absolute fortune in wages and transfer fees then bitch and moan after a few months because they don't like england. Don't they do a bit of research before making such a big decision to move to england?
I mean Manchester isn't the worlds greatest city but it is a very nice city all the same. Even nicer if you are a millionaire and can afford to live in an expensive area outside the city and eat in the top restaurants every night of the week if you want.
I would feel embarrassed to ask to leave after less than a year if a company went to all that effort and spent all that money to acquire my services.

Can't believe we are selling such a world class talent. Understandably, he is not a van gaal type player, but he is the sort of attacker we haven't had at United since Ronaldo left and the type of player that we still need in this squad.
I hate that we look like we are going to sell him. Even though he had a shit season, he still has that magic in him that makes you anticipate something everytime he has the ball. Something we've lacked since Ronaldo.
Since 10/11:
di Maria: 43/76 G/A in 201 Apps (170 starts) = 0.70 G/A per start
Nani: 38/40 G/A in 144 Apps (101 starts) = 0.77 G/A per start
Robben: 85/48 G/A in 146 Apps (130 starts) = 1.02 G/A per start
Ribery: 64/67 G/A in 184 Apps (158 starts) = 0.82 G/A per start
Hazard: 80/65 G/A in 248 Apps (215 starts) = 0.67 G/A per start
Silva: 39/64 G/A in 227 Apps (204 starts) = 0.50 G/A per start
Considering that both Nani and di Maria are the only standard wingers, and the fact that he played as an LCM in 13/14, I'd say he (and to some extent, Nani) hasn't been as "inconsistent" as the bandwagon constituents seem to be crying out every other day.
But yeah, inconsistent and numbers don't tell the story.

He was given the Man Of the Match for a reason. Guess its too much for you to understand, all at once.
Where did I say that?
Being the best player in a game in competition does not mean that you led your team to the trophy in a competition that consists of 10+ games. Saying that he led Real Madrid to CL is very overdramatic.
Are we getting £52m for this chump or what?
