"Van Gaal is David Moyes +£150million"
Is he the only guy on our team that actually does something with the ball? I actually laughed my ass off when Rooney tried to get past players today, t'was shocking.
I was with you on that all the way.Why is everyone surprised? He was on this form for Madrid last season?!
I knew when i had to remind everyone on the caf who were crying 30 million and not a penny more or ''i'd rather ha e sanchez'' how good he is that most have not seen much of him or decided two months and a soso world cup is enough to brainwash them into thinking hw isn't all that...
If we left it up to 60 percent here of the caf this summer, we would not have signed him and saved us a nice 60 million for more slow and insipid attacks.
He is exactly what we needed, we needed him as much as defenders because our attacking play was unimaginative rubbish.
What does this mean? He'll be more tightly marked in the Premier League.He was excellent in La Liga but I think he'll be even better with the extra space he'll get in England. Sublime player.

His goal was ridiculous.
We're already at a point where if we're without him, we're f*cked.

He picked up an injury during the world cup that kept him out for like a month. Didn't have a proper pre season because of that.What's up with his fitness? I know he had a long World Cup but he's a suitable amount of time to recover, and we're playing one game a week. He only had one game during the international break yet he's been taken off every game.
Its because not everyone here saw all the Madrid games last season. But now that he plays for us, they are getting a first hand look every week at what he can do.Why is everyone surprised? He was on this form for Madrid last season?!
For you regular watchers of La Liga, does Di Maria have an issue with fatigue or is this just simply him working his way back to full fitness?
May have been answered already but never had any fitness problems at Real Madrid (some injuries, but never fatigue). He ran more than anyone for them, so probably just working his way back to fitness.
Feel a bit sorry for him. Brilliant display once again.
Kind of ironic, we took piss out of scousers for being a one man team with Suarez, yet we are in the exact same position too, bring him off and we go down 4 gears.
As soon as he came off I knew we'd be in trouble.
Really? One man team with Mata, Herrera, Rooney, Falcao?
The proof Is there As I said in the 3 games Di Maria has played as soon as he has been brought off we turn to jelly and lack drive and urgency.
I'd like to see this as well. Di Maria and Januzaj flanking one of Falcao/Rooney/RVP would be very interesting to watch. I guess the question would be: who do you play behind them?He's brilliant, I honestly would like to see him in the Robben role with Falcao up top but I doubt there is much chance of that happening. Over time I wonder if LvG will move towards him and another wide man flanking a 9 in a front 3.
Don't let his skinny frame fool you, he's quite strong and incredibly fit. He can keep the intensity up for 120 minutes like in the final against Athletico. Typical Argentinian or Uruguayan world class player - he has the talent and especially professionalism, I only hope we can keep him for years to come and show our appreciation because this class of player doesn't come along often - although we have about 4 on our books now.

That's the problem, you can't play Mata as part of a midfield 3 and Rooney is no CM either, so right now we don't really have the personnel to give that formation a go, which is a shame.
