If we got Di Maria he could do that when needed, proved to be great there for Madrid last season.
EDIT: Not saying that I'd want him as first choice CM, but he'd be a fine option there at times.

Butch looking fella
I can't believe we haven't already. May as well maximise our global appeal, easy money.
€40m for Di Maria is about right.
@BarneyLFC your TV channel looks so cheep 
Fecking Moyes....
The people who thought we wouldn't have any trouble at all getting players without CL are gonna look a bit silly this summer I think...

It's hideous.
€25m for Sanchez is ridiculously low but that is a team that sold Fabregas for €35m so they might still accept that.

Yeah a fat Northern Irish bloke definitely holds more sway than Wenger. Anfield is a dump, too, in comparison the Emirates. In fact, I'd say avoid letting him anywhere near 20 miles of the stadium until he's signed.
Express, so you know.......
I dunno who I would prefer out of the two.
I think Di Maria is the better player, but has not impressed this world cup at all, which I guess could work in our favour...

I don't think Scousepool is much of a draw for the top European players any more. A history lesson is all well and good, but that's only history.
£40m? Hmmmm, not sure about that one.
I hope Rodgers doesn't have a wee chat with Sanchez.
We couldn't expect much less. Maybe you could feel 32-33 million would be fair but for a player of his calibre, 7-8 million shouldn't keep us from getting him. He's certainly better value at that price than the two players we've bought so far.
Why would they quote in £ rather than € anyway?
It looks like a video game cut screen
Sorry but this is such short sighted on the players behalf. Yes, Arsenal/Liverpool both have UCL football this season but what's to say they will next year and we won't? Especially on Liverpool's behald anyway, without Suarez they could easily slip out the top four again after their one season wonder. I know it's all hypothetical but let's be honest, it's not as if either side will win it next season anyway.
€50 million euros is what the Spanish press have quoted but i'm pretty sure Woody could negotiate the price down.
Di Maria would be a fantastic purchase, whatever the price.
Agreed! Hoping that if Sanchez goes to Arsenal, we end up back in the top 4, only for them to fall out of it.
Very short sighted, but I guess they are "guaranteed" CL football, whereas right now, we can only offer the likelihood of it.
Ay.
Barca and Madrid are such twats. Whoring some of their best players just to buy the flavours of the month.
I think it's quite a good price for him really. We paid 30m for a central midfielder and a left back, and as great as those 2 are, they aren't in Di Maria's class. Di Maria is 26, so in his prime, but is a world class player, arguably one of the best wingers in the world. Robben is better, as is Ronaldo, but then he is in the class of Reus, Sanchez, Bale, Ribery IMO. 40m for someone who is one of the best in his position, as a winger, playing for Real Madrid, it's a very fair price in todays market.
