Even if that were true, it doesn't mean you can get whoever you want just by ponying up a wedge of cash.

Someone should photoshop his face on JC van Damme's movie poster for A.W.O.L!
You can't blame him as his an Angelyea, none of this is Di Marias fault.
We need a gif for this one
If you pay more than a player is worth, there's a good chance you'll end up with that player. Yeah, you'd have to overpay, but you can get players.
Some players, maybe not. Although, if we offered £100m+ for Bale or Ronaldo I think there's a good chance we'd get them. Madrid would at least have to seriously consider it.
With a "halo" on top of his head.
I just want him gone.
di Maria being pulled out of the same hole Saddam Hussein was found in?
Mendes strikes again, probably another couple of millions to his name.
An ignominious end for our all-time record signing and the most talented player in the squad. What a disappointment he's turned out to be. No doubt this thread will now be inundated with "wage thieving cnut" and similar disparagements... hard to disagree too much really.
taking a 20 million hit after a year is ridiculous though - an opening bid of 28 million suggests they might go to 35 maybe
with him going awol it does put us under a little pressure.... I'd be tempted to hang onto him unless we can recoup 40+
the other more unrealistic option is swap deals and they very rarely happen... a striker and a CB required and Pedro coming in
Di Maria and a few quid even for Pedro and one of their young prospects at Barca? again its football manager thinking in a real world
Fair point. £60m was far too much for Di Maria and will be hard to recoup but United don't need to sell. Once PSG got their FFP concessions this one was a goer. If they want him, they can pay what United paid. They can afford it.
No matter which way you look at it: Bought for £60m, sold one year later for considerably less = Woodward is a cretin. Two summers ago Everton were laughing at United. He cannot afford another bad window but this and De Gea/Ramos could be pretty bad.
Well I don't think any other rich PL club would be in for him, simply because I reckon he wants out of England. That kind of leaves three rich main clubs if he wants to at least stay in Europe. PSG - who's bidding, Real, got rid of him, Barca don't need him.
What a cock. Must be from the same village as Tevez. DDG wants to go Madrid but look how professionally he is conducting himself.
Hopefully we get a shiny new toy to replace him.
I've not been up to date with this thread so can someone help me out.
Is this AWOL thing a reference to him not turning up on tour, or has it just been there to reflect his performances since December and I haven't noticed it till now?

It's the 'in thing' at the moment apparently. A player has gone AWOL through being a spoilt little turd with no backbone and self-pride - it's LvGs fault. PSG are offering £28m - it's Woodward's fault, he can't do his job properly.
It's much the same when you see the reaction to the defeat this morning in a FRIENDLY. This place sometimes :houillier:
Who is going to pay more then?
Gutted, but at the same time i expected him to leave, even at the end of last season. I know the body language posters arent popular on here, but it was clear that Di Maria wanted out as soon as possible. His comments after the season were obviously just talking shite and pleasing fans. He knew exactly that he wouldnt be here for the new season.
People are seriously deluding themselves.
45m for a guy who was shit, out of favour and hasn't bothered to turn up for training is an excellent price.
Yep, considering how things have gone with Di Maria since last December, I am very happy with that price.
We should simply refuse to do business with Mendes for a while after De Gea and Di Maria.
That would be amazing with LVG pulling him out
We also massively overpaid for him in the first place. On one season alone the guy was never worth the 70M we payed for him.
He's as good as gone and I'm not bothered about it but he's seriously just tarnished his name, he is the complete definition of a pussy.
After what we did for him with Bebe, the fecker can't even gets us Ramos while trying to get us to sell DDG.
Yeah feck him, any player with him as their agent should be a red flag in any future dealings.
Good riddance. Aside from his relatively good start, he never had the heart to fight and play for our shirt.
Always a risk when you overpay 
If you reverse the situations, we'd be paying £50m+ for di Maria from PSG.
We'd be paying 50m for a player who had had a shit season, was out of favour and gagging to leave? No chance.
Well when you completely overpay for a player that flops, it's rather inevitable that you will suffer a loss when he is sold. Simple really.
Yeah I'd be livid if we would be paying 50 m for player in such form and with that kind of attitude.
He cost us 75m Eur and we appear to be getting around 63m for him. Considering how average he was and how injured he was and how much he doesn't want to stay in Manchester, I feel like we are doing ok here.
£45m is actually a really good price for United, 15m for 13 assists and 4 goals ? steal.
My comment was based on the initially reported £28.5m bid. It may not even be true as it's all speculation but unless United get their money back (in GBP not EUR) then by the way this one has been reported they look like mugs - again.
So either we get the exact amount we bought him for or we look like mugs?
The whole situation is an absolute shambles, buying him in the first place was a feck up with our management. Equally a feck up, why the feck did he come here if he only wanted PSG
Let offer him to Bayern for Muller
FFP.
