I said that in the match thread! In fact I am convinced that there must be some sort of curse on the corner flags at OT, because it seems that not even the world class players can take a corner!!
It's that bloody ramp! They need to level the area around the pitch, particularly at the corner flag so players can ahve a more level run up.

He has been absolutely amazing for us thus far was the difference between winning and losing again today. I thought he was great at real, but I didn't realize he was this good. Just on a class of his own.

I'm going to be honest, sometimes when I'm having a shit day I just think 'I get to watch Di Maria play for United this weekend' and I smile.

I just can't help it. He's beyond brilliant.

Not only is he fecking brilliant but also a very lucky chap. Can't have enough of those after David Moyes.

Take him of the corner duty though. He's terrible.

Another brilliant product of Argentinian football.

He's easily gonna be one of the best among United's numbers 7.

If it was up to some experts on here, the deal wouldn't have gone through this summer.

Luckily we have smarter football men in charge who are in charge.

I wouldn't have any other premier league player at United in his place. Not one. He's that good and that much of a joy to watch. That flick to falcao was simply ridiculous. Also, I don't think we've seen the bets of him in terms of pressing yet.

On another note, he's the best shot assisted ever, and is shit at corners.

I don't remember anyone being against the signing of Di Maria.

Maybe you were too busy wumming in the Vidal thread?
Yeah that's probably it, didn't read any other threads this summer. Care to find any examples?

One more mishit shot that becomes an assist, and I'm concluding he's doing it on purpose. I mean he very obviously looked at the goal and lined it up like a shot. But it again, falls on a plate for team mate.

I can not believe all those ''he is too expensive'' or ''i would rather we usedbthe money on..'' or even a few ''he is good but not that good'' type of posts in his thread have been forgotten. :lol:

Find me the closed Di Maria thread from the transfer forum and I will provide some links to posts at my leisure during the next week.

If there was one player we could have signed this summer, having everyone to choose from (even ronaldo and messi), it would probably have still been him imo. Obviously messi and ronaldo are better, but given our needs, there is nobody better for his spot. Someone who works hard, someone with pace and dribbling ability and someone who sets up chances better then anyone else for our other top strikers to finish off. Messi and ronaldo would play too advanced and the rest of our team would be lacking, di Maria just makes it all click from further back.

He's just so entertaining to watch, we have missed this kind of player. My one concern is we are running him ragged by not having an extra CM next to Blind, as soon as we stop this two striker malarkey the better.

I said in the match thread that if he fancied it we'd win, and he did, and we did. He's that good. We're spoiled having him in our team, we really are.

The key is now getting one more pacey wide-man who can speed past people from the other side.

I get the impression that he loves being the main man, he mentioned in an interview with the United website that he really appreciates all the chants and the little things like fans clapping him when he goes over to take a corner. I don't think he felt the love in Madrid, and was in Ronaldo's shadow somewhat.

He's so ugly and boney and strange looking that it almost becomes beautiful. My girlfriend nearly pissed herself this afternoon when I tried to explain that around the world, millions of (grown up) men are drooling over a very special human being: a thinly-framed man called Ángel of Mary. Guess she expected some kind of George Clooney/RVP-esque type of dude to be the reason of my excitement, and she really couldn't stop laughing when I pointed to a skinny latino dude with some cheap ass tattoos who was running around. I told her I don't care how ugly he is, I will always love him.

We should be thankful that he doesn't have Ronaldo looks as if he did, Madrid would never have sold him :lol: Crazy but it's probably true

No, @Kevin is right, some people were saying that he was a luxury and wanted him to go to PSG as quickly as possible in order to stop all speculation.
And I've been laughed at when i said that between Di Maria and Vidal i would choose Di Maria because he is unique. Unlike Vidal who is a great player but can be replaced by someone else.

Yep. As I said earlier in this thread, find me that transfer forum di maria thread and i will show you the way @Pexbo @RexHamilton

I can find it myself but I want to be a nuisance. You do your part and you are getting your examples of posters that would not have gone through with the deal had they been in charge. Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.

Somewhere in the middle of the transfer saga I actually degraded myself to posting youtube compilations of di Maria and asking them how the feck they could forget his great season because people were saying 40 million and not a penny more or that he is not top top class.

Haven't really been following this thread and it's probably been brought up a lot already, but talking about Madrid, offloading Di Maria to bring in James (who is a bit younger than ADM and perhaps he isn't 100% 1 on 1 comparable) is insane right? Not that James isn't a great footballer, but what on earth were they smoking? The Robben/Sneijder saga is only a couple of years ago, seriously.

It's crazy because if our other forwards were on top form he'd have at the very least 7/8 assists already. The amount of chances he creates are ridiculous. Does anyone have an 'official stat' on it?

I've probably seen this atleast 15 times and it's not because of the quality of the goal. The part where commentators go "...and it's Diii Mariaaaaa" just gives you goosebumps! Like the times Martin Tyler would go all "Roooneyyyyyy!"

I can't stand Peter Drury, I'd even take Michael Owen over that bombastic shrieking.
