"Ed Woodward is a role model. For me – and I really mean this – he's the best CEO I've seen in the last 15, 20 years. I've spoken to Xabi Alonso about him. He's spectacular."

Excellent signing, really looking forward to seeing him in the famous shirt.

Would it be greedy of me now to demand another quality defender? :drool:

Anyone think there is any significance in LVG calling him a midfielder rather than winger?

I wonder why he came here. Free car. Everyone likes free stuff.

Woodward looks like hasn't had time to shave one the last week! Well done Woody. Rojo and Di Maria in one week. Now off you go to Turin. Gillette will be waiting with a sponsorship deal when you come back with Vidal.

On a scale of signings - This is the biggest signing the club has made since 2002 when we bought Rio. Buying RVP was amazing but he was coming to the end of his career and had a history with injuries so many other clubs didn't want to risk him....but Di Maria is one of the best players in the world who hasn't even reached his peak yet and who every club in Europe would have spent the money on had they had the means to get him

Van Persie surely?
That was bloody exciting too but Di Maria has been one of my favourite non-united players for a while and if all goes well can give us more years of service, plus we are in more dire need than we were for RVP at the time.

We never even made a bid for Vidal.
Anyways, I'd put money on it being this:

De Gea
Rafael Evans Rojo Shaw
Carrick
Herrera Di Maria
Mata
Rooney Van Persie​
I reckon it'll be a defender in for Van Persie with our full-backs pushed up.

I am sure they could scrape one R from somewhere for the announcement though. :lol:
:lol:
From where? Knock on the door of City's club shop and ask if they can lend us an 'R'?!
