He is there for the fucking taking, yet we sit on our hands and have STILL not made an official bid. FFS, I keep going from despair, to acceptance to despair again.

Liverpool fans embarrassing themselves:
Ballo is a quality striker when he is up for it, he's cheaper than Rojo because Rojo is not quite as crazy and volatile, that and we tend to over pay these days, we can afford it.
That's the worst thing that to happen for United. Woowar will think he can deduct 10m from his bid because the player wants to leave.
True. Although its clear now he wants out, maybe they'll lower the fee a little.
Valid questions and we won't really know until we see him play.
As you say he's quick but hesitant to use his pace. I suppose it's up to our coaching staff to get the best out of his natural abilities. Mammoth task.
If our coaching staff pull it off and recreate the sort of exponential improvement that they've achieved with the rest of the squad - and I'm accepting that there's a greater probability that they don't - we'll have got a phenomenal player at a great price.

If Woodward can't win a one horse race to sign a player who LVG wants, has asked to leave and whose club says he can, then he should go.

Here comes the embarrassment. Like, if we weren't already the butt of everyone's jokes this transfer window then this will be the final nail.

Who is this player? I can't be bothered to read the thread, so dc me baby.
edit: Oh, Di Maria. Maybe it's because he doesn't want to play for Man United.

Agreed.

Nooooo!
I've been thinking about that, Killer7 just sounds weird. Maybe I'll change it.

Di Maria is amazing in FIFA, United should totally get him.
I think Rodgers has shown he has the ability to get the best out of players so it wouldn't surprise me to see him getting Mario working better for the team.
I disagree with the idea his age makes him a better solution than other options though. I still see him as a stop-gap solution (which isn't inherently bad. I'd rather have Tiote come in at Arsenal than no-one) just because I find it unbelievable he could spend more than two seasons at the club without everyone getting sick of him.
Yes we should but we won't. I wonder if Madrid would take 75 for both?
EDIT: Those wages though.

They would easily take 75 for both
His agreement with PSG was for the 8m a year. However they couldn't sort the transfer fee with RM out.
He'll join United if we offer the 8m a year and the 60m Madrid want.
That isn't happening though.

Why?
He's a world class player who undoubtedly wants to play at the very highest level.
United can't offer that.

I'd bet my granny Woodward is trying to offer some stupid amount for both, or fir Di Maria & Alonso. Didn't he offer like £25mill last year for Fellaini and Baines?
You don't know that he would, though. That's completely baseless.
Perhaps he wants to play in the Champions League. And I'm not trying to have a dig there, I'm really not. It's just a fact of football.
He's open to joining (according to Guilemme), however both clubs have issues with the wants of the club/player.
..and I'm sure you didn't enjoy that..
We'll be tactically flexible throughout the season and play a variety of formations.
Balotelli will play where Rodgers coaches him to play.
I think he's absolutely brilliant, and if Rodgers' loving touch sorts him out it will prove a very astute signing.
Yep, because world class players never join teams that are not in champions league.

If Woody can't land Di Maria now I will find a company that let's you make your own loo roll and get a 48 pack made with Woodwards face on it and have delivered to my house and eat curry 5 times a day and take a month off work and live on the toilet.
Let's go Woody
Let's go Woody
My m8 GuilemmeB said he would though
No chance of it happening anyway. Also, I agree with you that no CL does have an impact on potential to sign WC players.
Yes, and Everton were simply furious!!(TM) with United's derisory!!(r) bid.
That is a very dubious source.

Last time I checked we play in the EPL, so what are you talking about?

Galliani must have been super impressed by Pazzini's performance in our 4-3-3 in preseason, only scoring one goal against the mighty Chivas.

It's very rare, I can only think of the Monaco situation last season.
What other instances are you referring to? Where a player of Di Maria's standing in the game moved from a club as big as Real Madrid to not playing in the Champions League?
