    Which of these events will garner the most interest through the football world?

    Di maria for me is the headline. The sub plot is the game and balotelli is one of the funnies. Di maria by some distance too.

    Sky would cut to the breaking di maria news during the minnows battle tonight if they knew liverpool would have a strop.

    I think Di MAria will get most coverage because people are amazed that United are paying a stupidly high fee for him.

    didn't get too many people watching when you paid 35 mill for Carrol. Now that really was a stupid purchase, so stupid you could write a book about it

    Carroll was bought for spare change as we had £30m left after selling Torres and buying Suarez.

    You should have bought 35 million lottery tickets, and made more profit

    It strikes me as a desperation purchase. Until we sign a world class cm I think we are going to struggle with or without Maria.

    A bit off topic as I'm not really arsed about the OP.

    That Blackett fella was very good v Sunderland, he looks like a very talented player, composed strong and good on the ball.

    Sky Sports loves it's "characters" ala Balotelli and Mourinho. They're "box office" apparantly.

    Winning 65 mill on the lottery is the only way Liverpool could afford him

    Yeah he looked ok but I thought Backett really stood out you've got a good player there.

    Because

    It is a top player moving
    It is united
    It is a massive fee - so even at £45-50m it will still have news

    Maybe we are overpaying theresonlyonegerrard, but you couldn't afford him at 20 mill

    Except the Spanish football experts and real madrid who wanted more.

    So basically a load of nobodies are thinking something that nobody gives a **** about. Those who have seen di maria though think its good business.

    Hes expensive. No doubt but quality is.

    The old tranny is losing it, someone tell the daft old fool we've spent 120m so far this summer and maybe a few million more in the final week of the window.<laugh>
