Di Maria has been a very underwhelming signing,60 million and he looks so uninterested and very poor.

To get the best out of him put him on the right out wide , he was in the FIFA team of the year last year.
LVG is really struggling to get some sort of system in place to make the best out of the players at his disposal. Maybe it could be time to play all out attack from start to finish for man utd ?

No way are you guys rewriting history when it comes to Carroll. That will always be the worst.

well done. You should have grown a pair and put the 50 on it.

If you check the time of the bet it was placed before I made my first post in this thread today, it wasn't a reaction to your post or I might have gone with 50. Have a nice little treble of Swansea and Arsenal going on to Liverpool at 20-1 so could be a very good weekend if Liverpool can win tomorrow.

Laugh all you want but di Maria was in the FIFA team of the year last year and well he looks useless now. So if it keeps up he could be getting used as the new Andy Carroll.

I can't remember when he last had a really good game and stood out. He is the one player I look at on the Utd team to be able to carve something out of nothing,but he rarely does anything of the sort. I look at him to run and dribble at the opposition and he very rarely does and whenever he does,he ends up losing the ball and is not showing the same dribbling ability he did at Madrid, I remember watching him in the Champions League final last year and he looks half the player he is now.

Gwan the Swans. United's luck finally runs out. Was getting a bit silly really.

Mendes really is the best agent in the world that he got Falcao a contract that seemingly increases monthly wp him

First he was best as a winger coming in from the left, then his best position was as a third midfielder because apparently he could not dictate the game on the wing, and now he's best on the right wing...why won't people admit that Di Maria, while a sensational player in the right circumstances, is not the type of player who can drag a less than world class team like United to glory. Di Maria excels in already great teams, alongside world class players, like at Real and Argentina; he's an example of a kind of multiplier effect, he'll make an already top team tick, and make them even better through assists for the strikers and a few goals himself.

It looks like playing with great players at Madrid got the best out of him.

Drop him into an average enough Manu team and he's looking fairly poor value for money.

He was mainly awful for Argentina in the WC last Summer too

United bought a player for 55m that was in the FIFA team of the year. Liverpool bought a mid-table striker that had never scored more than 10 goals in a PL season for 35m.

United have a good transfer on paper that could go bad. Liverpool had a bad transfer on paper that did go bad. There is no comparison.

We aren't talking about biggest flops here. Di Maria would take that over Carroll if it went bad. I am talking about worst transfer, which the Carroll transfer wins hands down

Just a comment for the mods, it's odd that zerks "Scousers are here' comment get a yellow" but the clear wave of Liverpool gremlins doing their usual childish baiting just gets ignored. Strange.

A comment was made earlier about cutting out the Pool/Utd stuff but that won't happen unless you actually enforce it

I said it after the lvg burnley interview, he was clearly rocked, I can see the fans getting on his back soon looking for him to be gone.

What posts were offending to you. I thought it was all pretty harmless including zerks post.

im not offended I just thought the inconsistency was odd that the Pool gremlins are allowed to be let loose and do their usual nonsense when it was specifically stated earlier in the thread that there would be none of that or else there would be yellows

Pool gremlins would you stop it happens all the time in Liverpool match threads and Manu match threads it's only banter.

Lord TSC

Lads, entering a match topic to discuss a match is not against ToS, despite how some people seem to think it should be if you support certain teams.

However, after a warning is put out to cut out the Liverpool/United BS that destroys threads, then it's going to be a straight yellow if it's obvious you're attempting to fan the flames.

I'm not going to card every Pool fan that wants to discuss the United game, no more than I'll card every United fan who wants to discuss the Pool game. If you think someone is trolling, report it, and if it's openly fanning flames, we'll deal with it.

But if you decide to engage and post in a manner which is only seeking to derail the thread, cut out the match talk and cause problems, then mods will step in.

Furthermore, cut out backseat moderation as well; again, it's a straight yellow as well, and you all know this. if you've a problem, PM the mods. Don't eat a stupid yellow card in a bid to have a moan.

Now get back to discussing the match or we can close the thread.
