5 days and 4 hours left for PL. Seria A is 5 days 3 hours, I don't know if that has an impact on out going signings if we go past the their closing time.
I'd rather pay double on all our transfers than see it go in the glazers bank accounts
People will stay we spending too much because of the £150m spent this season.

Seems like you have a lot of time on your hands @Damien!
Nice!
I'm not wumming. I don't think I've ever been a WUM on here and I'm not doing it now.
I don't think a player like Di Maria was essential to what United need. Surely the same amount of money would've got someone like Hummels or a really top class defensive mid? You know, something United could do with? Or even a proper wingback if LVG is persisting with it and not having to use Ashley Young and Valencia.
The fact so many people think he's worth 60 odd million speaks volumes of how ruined and up the shitter football is. And I say that not because of his ability because I think he's an excellent player.
Pretty much any other fanbase would be a wee bit alarmed at having to pay so much for a player yet in English football it's pennies. You've got guys turning down Benfica to play for Hull. It's crazy.
A new CM wouldn't have solved our lack of ideas/pace. Signing a player like Di Maria is as important to us as signing a CM.
United's lack of ideas isn't down to not having the players. Mata, Rooney, van Persie, Kagawa. These are excellent, attack-minded players. For a few seasons now they've been overrun in midfield in many games. Surely a solid, defensive midfielder would be #1 priority as far as bringing in midfielder's goes. Protects the (again, not wumming but speaking honestly) weak defence as well as freeing up the more attack-minded players throughout the squad.
#1 priority overall imo should be a centre back or two. I just think for the fee paid for Di Maria United could've brought in one or two excellent centre backs and improved their team further.
They could talk & laugh about Inzaghi being born in an off-side position DMC..
Rafa and Shaw will be out wing backs they are injured or not fit, I have no doubt they will both be superb in the wing back role.
Di Maria is one of the best players in the world imo, he's a big game player, 26 years old, Fast, Intelligent.
You say he's not what we need? Well, maybe CM and CB are more important at this minute but, we have as our wingers Valencia, Young and Januzaj, the latter the only one being any good and he's still very young and maybe a little naive at times.
We are the biggest club in the world we should be signing players like this.
Imo Angel Di Maria is worth every single penny. Mark my words he will transform our forward play.
Amen
We lack pace and someone who can create for wide. Di Maria potentiaaly solves that problem and arguably gives Van Gaal the chance to change the system and play other formations. Fact is we aren't creative enough as recent form shows.
One central defender has come in and I suspect at least another midfielder comes in as well.
People will stay we spending too much because of the £150m spent this season.
The modish thing to do is use the last 5 TRANSFER WINDOWS when people want to make the point that United are spending a lot of money.
Top stuff damo !!
Exactly what I need when I get home from work !!
Zigic to arsenal !!! WTF,s that !!
Those 4 players you mentioned are creative but have no pace and don't function well together. Di Maria offers pace along with creativity, maybe he'll make them click. If we add a world class CM, we'll be even better of course.
You talk about the excellent players we could've signed. Who are they? Do you not think those at Utd are as aware of where we need strengthened as any of us?

Evidently not considering your CB's.
Anyone see Dzeko's tweet last night. What a bellend.

Do we think this is right? Any sauce?
Yikes you think he is worth less than £30 million?
I think he's worth round about 30m. I certainly don't think he's worth 60 odd million. If you're paying 60 million you'd expect to be getting a guy who scores a shitload of goals. Mata's a better player than him and nobody would ever have said you'd need to pay 60 million to take him from Chelsea.

It's 359m £, and while other club have sold players we haven't, our spendings have been made on an extremely stable team.
In reality the club spent more than Liverpool and Chelsea.
A little less conversation, a little more tweets please
All these long discussions ain't satisfactioning me
A little more news about vidal
A little less stats and more van gaal
Come on adnan log in the cafe and satisfy me.

Based on what evidence?
What in the world ? Find us a player as versatile, experienced, tenacious and effective as Di Maria playing in a similar position for £30 million. When you want to sign premier players coming from a position of relative weakness you have to put forth a premium fee I'm afraid. And this is a top 5/ certainly top 10 European performer in 2013/ 2014 we're talking about here. A player who was as integral to Madrid's triumph last season as Ronaldo. Such players cannot be extracted for £30 million. It's not circa 2000 anymore.
Revenue ... er, nope.
Trophies ... er, nope.
Facebook fans ... er, nope.
Woodward said so - bingo!
If you are talking about Kuwaiti dinars then you are right, he worth around 25-30m
Just seen that league transfer deadline thing. Crap, that means we can't sign all those Norwegian and Swedish players we were gonna get.
But more interesting is that the German and Portuguese leagues close a bit early, so any deals with them will have to be sorted out faster than normal (hi, Carvalho).

Manutd.com/forum all the evidence your ever need mate
I think that's me most bizarre post I've read on the Cafe.

Really? 'hahaha' at his clubs city rival losing 4-0 to MK Dons seems like a pissed-up/stoned tweet?
