No but imo he's definately top 10. In terms of assists and chances created, he's probably top 5.
Angel Di Maria | £59.7M fee agreed I Maybe tomorrow...or the day after...

Argentinians do like a rabona or two!
Rojo(in his own penalty box):
Di Maria:
Then you see Hazard do it...

Top 10 players in the world , Probably 4th best winger in the world (behind Ronaldo, Bale and Robben)
Okay. Anyway since Real have become our feeder club, what's stopping us getting Bale and Ronaldo as well?
@Vato
Best thing about DiMaria is that we know that Real won't come calling for him in a couple of years.
If this deal goes tits up, it'll only be me and the opposition fans left on the forum in the dusts of Muppetgeddon. I'll have to talk to @Eboue
I've seen him play in a stadium close up and he was suprisingly stockier than he looks on tv. His legs aren't skinny. He's muscular and slim. And he's taller than he looks on tv.
You will definitely get what you are after with posts like this.
Truth is we have to spend, I've never advocated transfer muppetry but since we're raking in cash from all parts of the galaxy and the fact that we'd struggle to make a CL spot, spending on quality seems logical.
Buy Vidal!
They want to sell. I mean- a person who is responsible for transfers wants to sell him. Ancelotti probably doesn't.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
Do they make up for him having no right foot?
So from what I've read, we're paying about £50m to begin with, then the remaining amount is bonuses if we win leagues and european cups? Seems fine to me.
Oh no! Valencia no.2!
That's not a good thing. It means one of two things: either he's prone to taking unnecessary risks in his own penalty box, or he's too one-footed to rely on his right peg in high pressure situations.
I would even say he is the best player of all time!
Aguero really shouldn't be in these discussions, he's always injured and only scored 30 goals in a season once in his career so far. He's world class of course, but until he gets past the injury problems he has no business being in the top 10 discussions.
Meanwhile, Jamie Jackson sits in a darkened room wondering why it is that, yet again, Easyjet have lied to him.
barca will...Best thing about DiMaria is that we know that Real won't come calling for him in a couple of years.
Didn't Di Maria try a rebona during an important attach at the World Cup and completely botch it?
Would rather Ashley Young, we know what we are getting.

Several times against Switzerland. In the game where he gave the ball away over 80 times.
Steady on now. Certainly the best player of his generation but not the best player of all time, yet.
Would make a HUGE difference to the squad.
You need to get out more if things like this is embarrassing you.Oh God it's starting
When we should be celebrating we're somehow managing to be an embarrassment.
Cringe when I see s*it like that.
I think I said it somewhere in the La Liga thread that if Di Maria had (decent) right foot, he would be up there with the best in the game (Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta). His left foot is truly beautiful though.
It's slowing starting to sink in that we're signing Di Maria. I'm genuinely excited at the ambition of Van Gaal and the club. Just think, a couple of midfielders and we'll have a great squad...
Yeah nothing came off for him that game, was awful. I'm sure George Best had similar games.
He still scored though.
Yes.
Big Val was brilliant despite one footedness, back when he had stones to take a guy on and burn him.
There's no excuse for a professional to be so one footed though, to the extent of having to do Rabonas rather than just using your weaker foot. Hit the gym, practice, strengthen it up. You might not be able to blast it from 30 yards in the same way, but you'll at least be able to make a comfortable clearance or a simple pass across the face of goal with it.
He's still the best player in history though, obviously.

His flight apparently due to land in 10 mins according to an earlier tweet. Will it be to late for a medical now?
No, RvP had a late medical, IIRC.
You do realise once this deal is done you can never use money as a tool to beat us and City ever again Mr Smashing the British transfer record!
Why? Our money wasn't earned through blood/oil money like you and City with your Seik's and Russian billionares. Besides, both of you have still spent close to double what we have in the past 10 years, but of course you plastic mugs refuse to take note of these things.You do realise once this deal is done you can never use money as a tool to beat us and City ever again Mr Smashing the British transfer record!
They earned their money, did they?You do realise once this deal is done you can never use money as a tool to beat us and City ever again Mr Smashing the British transfer record!
