The thread is about "possible replacements for ADM if he decides to leave" not who you would want to sell him for, only making realistic suggestions based on that.
Well yeah, and then we naturally discuss whether those possibly replacements make sense or not.
Which we did (or rather you asked about a player you haven't seen much of) and i told you, then you went on about the unnecessary weakening of the squad and Di Maria sounding more appealing like it was a debate about who is better between the two.
Nabil Fekir. Haven't watched him alot but he mostly played behind Lacazette in Lyon. Looks pretty good. Not sure he'd be a good replacement for di Maria on the wing if we do sell (which I hope we don't).
Only recently returned after a year+ long of hamstring injuries, I rather we don't sign crocks or let him prove his fitness first.
Thats never going to happen. With the state of the euro even if they paid the same amount we did in euros, we'd still be, what somewhere between 5-10m down?
That seems logical. We wouldn't want to replace a player we have with a vastly inferior player now would we?
Fekir said he's staying this season. He only got his break last year so he'll stay for another year at least.
What makes you think he wants him gone?
Would be the obvious choice and everyone's favourite. Mine as well. Not gonna happen though....although we have that goalkeeper Real are pretty keen on....
Bale won't happen this summer because he wants to stay at real.
That's the problem with him yes. Think he has made it pretty clear he wants to stay at that circus.
Ofcourse not, but if you are here to compare every suggested replacement on this thread to Di Maria like for like then we might as well close the thread, it definitely makes more sense to keep ADM, but like i said - the thread is about possible replacements(based on the assumption that the reports are true) not who would you like to discard Di Maria for - so in that context saying "Di Maria is more appealing" is kind of unnecessary, of course he is more appealing, he is more appealing than 99% of the realistic targets mentioned on this thread.
No we wouldn't need to close this thread, we would actually make those comparisons as that seems the logical point of this, to me. Even if Di Maria comes off better in most cases, it probably depends on by how much. And the ones where he doesn't or might not are key.
That's what I thought. Surprised to see him mentioned a lot in these discussions. Has he played a wide midfielder before?
I'm not sure di maria is a winger either.
)Valued at 26m, he had 6 goals and 17 assists in 35 appearances last season, he can dribble and likes to cut inside, its only the Metro but as we have been linked to him for so long it wouldnt surprise me if we actually signed him this summer, our scouts must obviously rate him.Gaitan already agreed tba after AdM move apparently (well according to the Metro – so that's probably
He does tend to drift wide right a lot of the times. Wouldn't be a conventional winger by any stretch but he's pretty fecking good.
