Are we there yet?
Report saying he will arrive here around 5pm on a private jet. Although, don't take much notice of that.

While there are no plans yet for Di María to take a medical or even fly to Manchester on Monday, this may change depending on how talks progress. United hope that the deadline of noon on Friday to register Di María for Saturday’s trip to Burnley can be easily achieved.

God Jackson is a disgrace. The Guardian is such a great paper aside from his shite.
Wish we would of got Garay as well and made it 3 argies in this summer.
That Jackson fella is the worst journo around,the amount of stuff he gets wrong is absurd. He just prints whatever shit he likes.

Jackson is a twat but is that Instagram photo for real?
Can we start calling him ADM7 in the same way teenagers used to call Ronaldo CR7? 
Reputable photographer for Man utd. Clearly contradicts what Jackson said.
There's no two ways about it, he's a truly fantastic player. One of the very best, such an exciting signing!
6pm
Will there be any work permit issues like with Rojo?
Aye. Honestly though, Sid Lowe, Honingstein, Jonathan Wilson etc. All fantastic journalists at the Guardian. However, Jackson is Daily Star/Mail tier of awfulness.
You can't blame him as more stories=more clicks=more money.
The Guardian are above that or at least should be. I'd expect it from the Mail. However The Guardian is a fantastic paper.
Inter Milan to offer £40m for Gareth Bale.
No. Di Maria is a regular starter for Argentina and is a full international. Rojo is not as he had limited amounts of appearances for Argentina. Di Maria's permit will be much quicker to get.
Journalists have really fallen into the gutter, which when you think about it isn't so surprising given that they are all in intense competition with another for clicks and eyeballs - they are incentivized to be more sensational in the information they publish. And that's just normal journos - and not some of the anonymous Twitter clowns that have emerged in recent months.
Daniel Taylor is good for The Grauniad as well. Problem is, he had a huge boner for Mancini. Really unbearable love for that moron.
Most definitely. But these journos are individualistic in their objectives, more views=more money. Although Jackson does spout nonsense sometimes-you can't argue about him being unreputable. He has got a fair few stories right.
Aye, his Twitter header is still a photograph of those two sitting down for an interview.
Yuck.
Needs to bulk up.
No really! He absolutely has to bulk up. I've got bigger biceps than that and I haven't been to the gym in six months!

No he does not. He will fly when he's tackled at pace and win us a a lot of penalties.Needs to bulk up.

Its just that if this lasts more than 4 hours I'm suppose to get medical attention.
That is a Benfica shirt, this is 4-5 years old. He would of put more muscles in Real Marid as their conditioning is world class(just look at Bale). Although, they still do call him Noodle for a reason!Needs to bulk up.

More muscle=less agility. I think he is just fine like he is.
Who gives a shit how big his biceps are?!?!Needs to bulk up.
No really! He absolutely has to bulk up. I've got bigger biceps than that and I haven't been to the gym in six months!
Yeah, but doesn't that mean he'll be easy to knock off the ball too?
Atletico is a very physical team and he does well enough against them.
Feck that bulking up, it has ruined quite a few creative dribblers.
Is he arriving in another hour then?
2 hours 6:20
Rojo is a full international and regular starter.
Wow look at you!Needs to bulk up.
No really! He absolutely has to bulk up. I've got bigger biceps than that and I haven't been to the gym in six months!
Not sure if he would make 7th, top 10 for me are usually:
Messi, Ronaldo, Ibra, Iniesta, Suarez, Toure, Neuyer, Robben, Lahm, Aguero.... but perhaps Di maria can displace Lahm or Robben on that list.
I don't see what Aguero has done in the game that Di Maria hasn't tbh, so I would say if he could displace Robben & Lahm (who for me he most certainly couldn't EDIT: Lahm that is) he can definitely displace Aguero

He is super pacey and has elastic limbs, bulking up could effect that so no.
I think you are right, he will displace Aguero and make the top 10...he is that good.
I actually think he's the best player in the world.
Anyone else agree?
Anyone else agree?
Best in the world is a bit much. Though I definitely think he's in the top 10, no question. Certainly one of the best wingers in the world.
