Have we discussed how he's argentine and therefore a cnut who'll want to feck off after two years?
Angel Di Maria

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
you can both suck my cock and the twins escorting it
That's possibly the greatest phrase I've ever heard.
Shame you're Argentine, so I can never use it for fear of public ridicule
You know I love you, marcos. Although I've not drunkenly PMed you with my terrible Spanish in a while.
This lad looks to me to be the next Arjen Robben minus the injury proneness.
Not Ronaldo or Messi, but a fecking terrific winger.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now, you did think Walcott would be one of the very best players in the world too.
Di Maria's got a long way to go yet.
I'm right though innit.
not really mate, we've been unlucky with Teves and Heinse
look at other argies that played for ages in their teams giving their best
like batistuta for fiorentina or sanetti for inter or redondo for real madrid
Di Maria hasn't really impressed me yet.

Sounds like you have a pair of effeminate balls.
well, you know, i let them be
I think my point is that in the end most argentines want to feck off to either a) the Latin countries or b) where there's most money. Batistuta and zanetti went straight there at a time when serie a was the worlds best and richest league.
Er, if Marcos generalized from the two most annoying English people on RedCafe to all English people, I'd think of him as xenophobic (and probably more than a little bit stupid, to be honest). Thankfully, that is not the case.
What people forget is that while Heinze and Tevez both left the club in somewhat acrimonious circumstances, during their time at the club they were two of the most committed players that we have ever seen — from any country.
If anything, I'd point to the fact that some South American players leave their homeland at a very early age and are perhaps, due to the circumstances, too trusting of their agents who have, to be fair, helped them to succeed in Europe. But even the best agents can't completely escape the psychological pressure of knowing that they are most successful when their players move clubs at least two or three times during their career.
And let's be honest, would we all be strong minded enough to know exactly what was right for us and to resist all attempts to get us to move on? I'm not convinced by that, at all.
If anything, there needs to be reform of the way in which agents are allowed to operate and to the current reward structure that means that it is more beneficial to move a player on at regular intervals, even if it it is detrimental to their career, than it is for that player to remain at one club.
Expecting what are often not that well educated twenty-somethings to always know what is right for their career is simply not realistic, but nor is expecting a high percentage of agents to resist the psychological pull of the current reward structure and to always act with the best interests of their clients.
I'll judge the next Argentinian player on his own merits, just as I do with all people.

Spaniard.....
See what a private joke causes these days gambs.....outrage of xenophobia!
Seriously this lad is exactly what were looking for on the left wing, the thing that has got me about him is his footballing brain (he may be thick as pigshit in real life) and quick reactions. Plus the fact he can take on a player. I like him, I want him. I reckon him and Defour will be our 2 main targets, rather have Hamsik but I reckon he's staying put in Italy.
I know but, lets face it, you are racist as feck.
Shut the feck up you.....
.......Indeed.......
& minus the utterly cnutish behaviour and head issues.
TBF it's the likes of SAF he needs to impress instead
Plus with looks like he has, he'll slot right into our midfield.
I would bet my car that Angel di Maria will not sign for us.
He will go to a club that will offer him the insane amount of money his agent will demand i.e City or Real.

He has more in his locker than Robben does, I believe he has more potential
No he hasn't... Couldn't touch Robben!!
I disagree
Having watched over 5minutes of footage on You tube and his FM stats, my opinion says he does
In all serious though, I think he has the potential to be better than Robben. That means shit really, because how many players actually live up to their potentia

Potential is all very subjective. Robben has blown hot and cold over his career, mainly due to the injuries. But that can't be ignored can it. From what i've seen of Di Maria, he looks like the next big Argie player. Certainly not a Messi, but potentially as good as Tevez.
+ a weak mental attitude and extreme selfishness.
I'll be very surprised if either went for him, given the left sided players who will be on the market this summer.
Don't forget Amir Khan. Not the Bhuvan!
The thing is, Nani went for 18m even though he was unproven, Angel Di Maria is an Argie regular and has been one of the most consistent players for them. Think the 25m price tag is unavoidable unless Benfica are going bankrupt.
... without him falling like a frozen lump of aeroplane droppings to the ground, no. The thin haired one is so adept at feigning, he'll feign a 10 month injury just to get an opponent booked.
Nani had played for the Portuguese national team too, 6 games in the champions league (same as Di maria) and was younger with more potential already noted by some as "The new Ronaldo" and we paid the buyout fee in his contract to head off interest from other clubs. If we had negotiated his fee we would very likely have paid less, same with Anderson.
Really Di Maria has only done a bit more in portugal than Nani did (not in the league though, in the europa league) and a bit more for his national side, but you have to expect that given he's a year older than Nani was when we signed him. In his first season Nani did well at United and proved more than Di Maria has so far so compared at the same age...
The Spanish clubs will most likely be after Silva and Mata and Valencia need 30 million euros this summer, so one of them could very well be sold. City on the other hand are sure to be putting in bids left right and center for all the flavour of the month talents and Di Maria is likely to be one of them. If they get a champions league spot and offer him the most money, dont rule it out him linking up with Tevez and Zabaleta at City.
Other than Mata and then Di Maria, there is a bit of a lack of genuine quality left footed left wingers at the moment. Partly because its become fashionable to have a left winger playing on the right ala Messi. That lack of quantity could affect the price. After Di Maria there's er... Capel who had a terrible season last season and is usually unable to hold down a starting place at Sevilla. Christian Rodriguez at Porto though I believe Varela has been Porto's best player this season from the left. But he's another right footer. Who else is there?
Indeedand an uncanny resemblance to Jean-Luc Picard.

Will be joining Madrid.
