    When that paper is effectively the real madrid Matchday program its probably a fair reflection of the truth.

    Di maria was wanted

    Fabregas
    Sanchez
    Balotelli

    Their clubs were desperate, beyond desperate to dump these players. Effectively these players were as good as rubbish to their former clubs. Hence the bargain prices.

    Yep dave. This has been my standard response to any idiot claiming we are finished.

    Weve simply not started yet.

    Why, he's clearly a decent centre half? Way better than Smalling for a start.

    Exactly the type of player we need in our squad and haven't got.

    Genuine question. As United fans, with the team you have currently, would you rather have bought Fabregas or Di Maria? (Irregardless of price)

    Yeah but he doesn't play for United and United haven't been linked with him so he's **** in Matth's world.

    We need a Fabregas more than we need a Di Maria.

    It's that simple really.


    (interesting use of irregardless)

    Di maria. He can do everything fab can do plus hes fast as ****.

    Di maria brings more chances. More assists and more variety.

    Hes also a better footballer.

    It was a Madrid paper not a ****ing match day programme - basically a paper available to the whole of madrid, and possibly the whole of spain (and the world) - as I imagine it has an online site?

    If question is di maria or vidal, its vidal. Hes the type of midfielder we need.

    Having fab and herrera would be useless. Same sort of players.

    Fabregas is more creative, better playmaker, scores more...

    Di maria is faster, i'll give you that <ok>

    This one

    http://www.marca.com

    The front page covers, Real, Barca, Atletico, Chelsea, Benfica - and that's just at a glance.

    I'm pretty sure that such a poll would have been included on their website <ok>


    It's basically a sports paper that happens to be based in Madrid.

    Lampard has created more chances and assists then Iniesta, would you say he's more creative?

    Anyhow, you can't use stats to judge a player... Heck, passing a ball sideways for someone to have a shot = a created chance.

    Not from what I've seen but you're entitled to your opinion.

    I agree we need a Vidal type player though but best stop going on about it as it will not happen. We might get De Jong though.

    He'd have to do.

    They mean the same but the ir at the start of the second one is not really needed.

    Irrespective is a good alternative though!
