Angel Di Maria | £59.7M fee agreed I Maybe tomorrow...or the day after...

[Castia]

17 assists last season

Madrid will regret selling him if this deal goes through. James is a top player but Di Maria has been great for them, hard to see how he's an upgrade.

 

[gasmanc]

This is more on than Ando's deep fat fryer.

And it's carrying more weight

 

[Red Stone]

That's it, then. This is officially more on than all other things.

 

[An Irish Red]

When was the last time United bought a player from Madrid anyway? It's usually the other way round.

I don't think we ever have actually.

What a signing this would be if it happens though. Last year we were relying on out of form/not good enough wingers (and Januzaj). Now we'd have one of the best wingers in world football on one side and one of the best prospects on the other.

 

[RDCR07]

No one else needs him as much as we do. The only team I think off who could be in the race is Chelsea. Maybe Athletico? Simeone was raving about him.

 

[kotha]

You can't blame anyone being skeptical when you look at our transfer record over the last few years.

Ya I guess so.

 

[Flamingo Purple]

Let's hope the fecking Volcano doesn't ruin this.

 

[NoWinNoFee]

SSN saying Balagué joining them in the studio after the break, so hopefully find out more news.

 

[DeMono]

Agent Ronaldo!

He is a better agent for us than the players we already have. We owe him big time.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Madrid must have been blown away at just how prepared our bid was.

 

[Macabre Wolf]

Has anything ever been this on?

Moura to United before PSG stuck their noses in, also Ronaldinho springs to mind.

 

[NoWinNoFee]

There he is everyone put SSN on.

 

[justboy68]

And it's carrying more weight

Very good.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Madrid must have been blown away at just how prepared our bid was.

Bows and ribbons with hearts all over

 

[SirAF]

Theres always one...

feck that.. we got Mendes in our pocket.

 

[MUFCpiffgawd]

Where is he going to play?

 

[AltiUn]

Usually this follows the above after he signs for PSG.

Aw don't do this to yourself!

 

[Castia]

No comment from United on the story is the line coming from Sky Sports! that's usually a sign there's some truth to it, they could have killed the rumours dead if they wanted.

 

[Rado_N]

Where is he going to play?

Old Trafford for the most part.

 

[Raoul]

Ok. This is happening.

Ronaldo you fecking legend.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Old Trafford for the most part.

Beat me to it.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

It's about time Mendes did us a favor after the Bebe deal.

 

[Deleted member 78215]

RAWK's reaction to this: Di Maria is overrated, not what United need, will be useless against physical teams.

RAWK's reaction before this: Di Maria's superb, best player for Madrid last season.

RAWK.

 

[Flamingo Purple]

Old Trafford for the most part.

 

[Kaos]

When was the last time United bought a player from Madrid anyway? It's usually the other way round.

Never.

 

[Cassidy]

What no youtube vid? LOL

RAWK.

To be fair RC was pretty much the same, but in reverse.

 

[Kaos]

Di Ma7ia

 

[KM]

Balague is very, very confident about this.

 

[SirAF]

What no youtube vid? LOL

 

[Sixpence]

Ballbag on now.

 

[Macabre Wolf]

Why do I get the feeling that any other team would have been able to talk down Real Madrid to like 35-40M for Di Maria? Oh well, I certainly won't be moaning if we land him.

We probably could have but to be honest is it worth the risk for such a world class player, a lot of people earlier in the window banged on about how quickly Madrid bought Rodriguez without a fuss i'm guessing they paid what Monaco asked.

 

[BEST No7]

Brilliant news, have to say had big doubts on this actually happening. Get in there

 

[Jed I. Knight]

The club refused to comment...This is a good sign, yes?

With so many outlets jumping on this at the exact same time (Sky, ESPN, The Mail), all claiming sources independent from the other, it seems likely that this has been briefed / leaked from inside the club.

 

[Marcosdeto]

according to marca the deal is inminent, Di María wants to play for us and the transfer will cost 70 millino euros

[Cassidy]

Nice one!

 

[Kevin]

Balague is very, very confident about this.

What is he sayinh.

 

[DeMono]

Here is the video for you lot where ballbag talks about the transfer

[Castia]

There's some superb Youtube clips, he's a proper muppets dream signing with his flicks, tricks and dribbling ability.

Balague talking on Sky now, talking like its a done deal and we are onto our next targets.

 

[Stobzilla]

Theres always one...

Oh aye, I'd trust him with my life.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

I like our new transfer policy of only signing Argies.

There's one Argie we should sign
