It is totally illogical because of the assumption the club does not know what it is doing. These are business people. I care a damn about what we pay. We get the players the manager wants and we are all set.
...and please don't bring up ridiculous hypothetical numbers.....as some have done to prove their point.
We needed other reinforcements before Di Maria
He's a centre half I hope?
If he's watching today wouldn't be surprised if he changes his mind.
:/ Are you being sarcastic? We do need that, but that is barely the problem considering valencia did manage to get an assist.
We are missing leadership in the back and center midfielders who could control the ball, break up midfield play, orchestrate and add structure to our midfield. I taught our awful midfield performance would be gone from last season under van gaal, but it seems it has gotten even worse.
People love to be the main man and act as a saviour. Him signing should hopefully lift everyone's spirits.
Wumming about what?
Di Maria. Great player but wrong medicine for the moment. Our wing backs and central midfield and central defence are in shambles. The cash may be better spent in these areas.
That's fair enough if you decide that you are happy with whatever the management do in the transfer market as they are professionals who know a lot more than us, which is a perfectly reasonable position to take.
But, it's also perfectly reasonable to have your own opinions on who we should sign, and if you are such a person, it's equally reasonable to have opinions on how much money we should spend on given players.
I'm not sure what hypothetical numbers you're on about?
Agreed. I do hope that if Di Maria does sign then it might lead to us changing this system we're currently using. Don't like it. At all.
3-5-2 is shit tbh, Di Maria signing feels like Mata's. Won't change much I am afraid
So now half of you are saying what you were shooting every oppo for saying?
Who's to say a quality midfielder isn't on the horizon? I agree it's a bit like the Mata signing but we are adding quality.
You will get use to it on the caf. I was one of the few who agreed with glastonspurs when I stated he should not have been a priority signing
Hopefully yeah but we'll need 2-3 quality CM, not just one
Because the problem is not signing mata and di Maria, the problem is RVP and Rooney. The whole point of playing guys like mata and di Maria along with janazaj, is defeats the purpose of needing to play 2 strikers, these guys behind the main striker and they also get the team goals and assists. Very few teams play with 2 strikers, and I would rather we dropped a striker in favour of a system that gets the best of mata, which is 4231
both were penalties....
but it is Atkinson..
but it is Atkinson..
Hardly a hard one! It's nothing but #7 if our club gets to pick. I think di maria would prefer #9 himself.
It'll be exciting if he doesn't get the 7 shirt.
Well doneLive images of Di Maria's plane
£64m. Madrid laughing all the way to the bank!
How much would you pay him?
Max of £50m.
Not a big difference. Especially given it's a wc player.
Late in the window, Real don't want to sell, we are desperate, not really hard to understand, where the 10 million more come from
Thats actually not THAT bad for a genuine worldclass player.
This is the biggest overpayment since history along with Luiz imo, di Maria is one hell of a football player but 80 million is just far too much. O well, we need him and we're desperate.
What difference does it make?
you can have opinions...but its clear fans who have no clue about business management do not trump professionals who know about transfers.
I have seen posters use crazy numbers...like saying.."I suppose you would not mind if we paid 200 million for a left back and such". posts like that are not worth addressing.
I kind of agree. Although coming away from that Sunderland game, I wouldn't at all mind seeing someone who can dribble play for us.
We're you watching the game today? I couldn't care less about the transfer fee even if we payed £80 million for him. We're so short of quality players it's unbelievable.
