StarBoard:
The whole thing is mind boggling.
Di Maria has been quoted as saying he would want to improve on his debut season.
If indeed there were an agreement, which is not out of place or impossible, I'm wondering why nearly 60 million pounds of transfer fee would be involved.
I'm sure PSG didn't expect FFP to be waived off as early as it was.

Nihilist:
Pietrorico actually called it from the get go.

Even before Coogar.

I think ADM is far better than we saw here, but somewhere along the line couldn't be arsed to turn up anymore.

If you dig deep, you might find that there may have been an agreement between PSG and ADM as early as last September.

Does it make sense to you that PSG are signing this guy for 40 mill+ and higher wages on the back of a poor injury-hit season?

Me neither.

elampiro:


He would have stayed if he were guaranteed regular starting appearances . But we know that is not possible for now.

I read too, Argentina national team coaches said something like Gaal treatment of Di Maria negatively affected the rythm of his game.

However, if I were a world class footballer, I wonder what on earth would make me play in France when I have the opportunity of playing for a club as Manchester United in an excitement league as EPL.

elampiro:
It's a sin to lose Nani and Di Maria in same transfer window. We should have kept Nani if we knew this was going to happen. These two guys are unique.

But let's look at this very well. When Gaal was asked about Di Maria's possible transfer, he said it's a process. Was that a good response? I think the answer is no. He should have said something to suggest Di Maria was really wanted..... to remain at United.

SIRcumalot:
Thanks jare
The excuse was he didn't settle into England and his house was burgled not armed robbery and that was enough to throw him off his game,
I hope they don't rob people in france.

Still we lost a player that change a match on his own.

StarBoard:
True o.
As per maga,it would have appear that we have wizened up. Ask Madrid.
Some unexpected hardball stunts being pulled over De Gea.

But with the season Di Maria had last year, can we recoup that 59.7 million?

StarBoard:
My man, I just dey here dey observe.
I noticed that LvG is one that gets short on patience on established and experienced players.
If you don't give him what your reputation says about you he drops you without batting an eyelid.

It's not been surprising the caliber of personnel he's already axed. This is someone who dropped his pants in front of Bayern players, so he's being mild in my estimation thus far.
At least he gave chances for the ones you listed above to prove themselves. People like Nani weren't given any shot at all.

Just think he's going too far.
But if United don't win the league this campaign he should leave. He can't radically tear up the side and expect to continue.


van Gaal wants to send a subliminal message that he never really wanted diMaria and has not gone out on any limb to try to even assure him that he is in his plans.
Reasons why if he is still on United's books by August 31 6pm, i would consider it a minor miracle of sorts.

SIRcumalot:
@pietro rico
It all depends on LVG.
If its true we'll be playing a 4-3-3 formation
Where would you start him ?

SIRcumalot:
More a combination of all three
I don't think LVG wants him here because of his playing style,
He never really wanted to come here FFP restrained PSG .
So why not cash in now ?
You're only as good as your last game.
I want him here, cause am a big fan n,ut if he'll be riding the bench again that isn't good for anybody.

StarBoard:
Louis and his "philosophy" are at work o.

apparently Di Maria doesn't fit into the said "philosophy".


My mind keeps going back to van Gaal's words at the post-season dinner. He said something to the effect of him having to make tough decisions about certain players.

SIRcumalot:
We'll lose money for sure maybe like a 10mill hit which isn't too bad.

dopeJemi:
I no know say them dey chop eba for Gabon oh

PietroRico:
even with the small injuries they had... They had to park bus against all and sundry to stay alive at some point last season

Let them not strengthen.. . And hope they never have to rely on ramirez-mikel partnership, with cuadrado and Willian supplying fire power to El Tigre for prolonged periods

elampiro:
Ibrahimovic?

Skysports rumours linking us with him.

hensben:
of course I am but one of ur comrade(starboard) dey call me names like scammer, fraud n olodo because I talk true and defend my club same way I'm doing now. .. The guy dey behave like sissy wey dey her period.

hensben:
we have more money, popularity and quality players. We can defeat them if we meet.

hensben:
yeah I said so but if we eventually become ucl champion I will celebrate.

hensben:
whats my biz with what others earn. You talked about Luiz I said we have epl money this time.

hensben:
our aim is to retain epl then do well in UCL. Cuadrado is still young so he might pick form, Monel still remain squad player.

hensben:
why single out carling cup huh, how about epl money?

hensben:
i think I told you we have players to conquer ucl group stage. You don see your trolling gang abi.. Okay barca need replacement for iniesta considering he is not getting younger.

hensben:
now you are trolling.. How about epl and carling cup money huh

homesteady:
Barcelona just won the treble, they are on a transfer ban and they have spent about €50 million on players already!

It will be like magic to some people when chelsea get eliminated in UCL group stage

AirborneLacer:
Chelsea and cash strapped in thisame sentence?

Manyoo folks no go kee me for NL

Mate for us, FFP is not about compliance, but about the need to maximise resources, while we have more resources to work with than all but maybe 5 clubs in the world, these resources are still finite.

As such, we need to spend wisely, and fortunately, we have been extremely forward in this respect, especially with regards to our innovative loan farm.

How can we be cash strapped when just earned around £50m in profit from player sales this year, and when commercial revenues {Yokohama says hi} should increase as well?

Just that we don't relate with profligacy again doesn't mean we're not financially healthy.

Bimffo:
What I am trying to say is City have spent and spent for like 2 Seasons and now are just filling up their home grown quota.. Or home many players have they bought this season and are not home grown.?

You can't compare the city of 6 years ago to the one of today..

hensben:
if we can't get the players we really want then so be it, we are good to go. I repeat we are not desperate to sign players.
