He'll propel us to Champions League football - I'm certain of that.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

I don't care at this moment in time what we pay for him. He's that good and will bring some much needed excitement back to OT.
Do transfers ever get completed on Sundays?
Falcao's Wife has started following Real Madrid on Twitter, done dealio....
Imagine now seeing him in 48 hours in a PSG or City shirt, I don't think the caf would survive it.
It's different. Madrid don't want to keep him. If they were serious about keeping him they would offer him more money than the proposed amount and they wouldn't have bought James. Perez signed his Galactico, James, for a large amount of money. He takes priority over Di Maria and Di Maria knows this. The fans, players, and Carlo want to keep him, but it's not up to them. James is Perez's way of forcing Di Maria out.
I don't think I would survive it.
One or more acceptable offers must be on the table, yes.
Looks like we'll know where he's going pretty soon. Not in Madrids interest to stall this if the money they want is already on the table. They will want to buy themselves.
This, I think it's already a done deal.
The feck is players wife starting to follow clubs on Instagram the new way of announcing transfers or what ?
Done deal then. This guy works for Real Madrid TV.
This. I'm just getting excited imagining him and januzaj on each wing.
Me neither, it be the end of me.
I'm getting extremely excited about this. No twists please.
My only concern is that selling clubs will use the fee as a benchmark for future transfers. We get mugged off when buying as it is.
On the plus side, seeing us throw money at anything and everything may finally make us an attractive option for other top players.
On his way to Manchester as well?
Ancelotti manages the team actually.
Yeah, I originally posted that late last night, I admit they all seem to be saying it's a panic buy etc. But they are overlooking the signings of Herrera, Shaw, and Rojo and ignoring that most outlets including Balague have reported Di Maria is the first of 3 players in next week. Some idiots are even saying Lallana is BETTER than Di Maria and better value. You need to read between the lines of the opposition fans. It's all rhetoric and hyperbole. Truth is they are shitting themselves and so they should be!
yep...OT will certainly be more attractive to mercenaries of all type...
Last season Di Maria got 17 assists in the league alone which has only been bettered by one player in the last 5 years in Spain, Italy, Germany and England, and that one player is of course Messi. The only player we have that could possibly rival that total in a single league season in the last two decades is Beckham.
Mata and Di Maria don't necessarily fit in the squad seamlessly as transfers right now but the thing is they add class and creativity to a team that's played lifeless football with the occasional sprinkle of magic from an individual. At worst we continue playing the same football but with better individuals and at best they become the players that we build a new style of football around. If some of the players have to leave to accommodate that and create a more balanced squad then it's unfortunate but it's not a bad thing.

He basically rejected Real Madrid to play for the best club in the world. Come join the dark side!
I think Blind and De Jong will be the other two. Jong is on a one year deal and since Mario left and they fired Seedorf he now wants out asap, so I think we could bag him for not much more than £7m or something. Blind on the other hand good multi functional back up player that has some real potential as a defensive mid. Those two and Di Maria together with Herrera and we'll have solved our midfield problem.
This is the kind of player that we should have bought 2-5 years ago, for some people to label it a panic buy, or unnecassary, is just ridiculous...Couldn't be happier if it really goes through.
I love how he wanted to leave. It's not often you hear Madrid say they tried their all to keep a player. He Clearly has balls to tell that cnut Perez where to go. He knows he's too good for not starting most games. Some players would be happy to stay. He will relish his time at United.
If all goes to plan, he's going to be a top class signing for the club and yet another Spanish speaker.
There's gonna be some real bromances going on this season.

Oh, I see the fantasy stories already started. Great!He basically rejected Real Madrid to play for the best club in the world. Come join the dark side!
Didn't Nani get 17 league assists in 2010/2011?
The money is ridiculous but in todays fecked up world of football...
30 million gets you Fellaini
50 million gets you Luis
65 million gets you Rodriguez
*fees might be slightly off but the point i'm making is still valid :P
So anywhere between 50-65 is going to be the current valuation. I have to say i'm amazed the club is going that high, well done to Woody and co. if they complete the deal.

He wraps his suitcases in cling flim? He's a wrong 'un. Do not want.
It was a joke. We know he did not really reject them. Just let us dream a bit!
Wtf! you guys are unreal!Maybe he "wanted" to leave because we bought a replacement?
