Yeah he is good. Imagine a pacey very skinny Nzogbia who never takes on a man too many.

Di Maria is a very good player, but I can't help thinking that Man United are not going to sufficiently solve their problems by spending 65m on a single player.

Who happens to play in the same position as all the good players that they currently have.

I looked up Panic Buy in the Dictionary. It said Di Maria £65m.

Di Maria is decent, but not brilliant. He is very hit and miss. In the madness of this summer, £25 million would be fair. 65 million is frankly bloomin madness.

I haven't heard of him either. Mind you, my football knowledge dropped significantly after giving up playing FIFA on X box in 2007.
I was almost Tim Lovejoyesque in my ability for spotting talented Italian 2nd division players in those days.

I think he can at times be brilliant but most of the time he's poor, bad passes, poor execution....then my Spanish mate reckons he's class.  Too inconsistent.

I don't follow foreign football to any huge degree, but watching him play in the CL from time to time, and for Argentina, he strikes me as a very good player.

65m worth? I don't know.

Should Man United be focusing on one player in particular rather than improving 6 or 7 positions? Absolutely not.

Excellent.
