You're only selecting him as a forward. If we were to buy him it would wide midfield.

Herrera--carrick--Di Maria

wide midfield... in a midfield 3? how open do you want the central midfield to be? You want Roy Keane at his best instead of Carrick to stand a chance.

It also ignores the fact LVG likes his 433 set up the way I have written it (offensive or defensive depending on game). 2 CMs with either a deep player behind or attacking player infront) - not a flat 3.

Or at least that is my understanding of it, based on reading an indepth tactical interview with him from a while back, in which he discusses his 433 formation vs other formations, and why he sets it up as he does (as well as the role of each player in the formation).

Maybe he would try an entirely new formation - but when he spoke about Di Maria he said United didn't have the wingers of Di Maria or Ronaldos quality to play 433 - so if he was being signed surely it would be as the winger LVG name droped him as. Unless you feel he ment wide (central) midfield and he see Ronaldo as being capable there too.

Madrid owe us nothing. You'll find the the players we sold them wanted to go and they aoid us for them.

When it came to doing business, we made little fuss, things moved nicely, and we didn't act the bollox.

Most clubs regard United as an excellent club to do business with when it comes to us selling players, as we've a history of no frills.

Beckham, Van Nistelroy, Ronaldo and Heinze all went with minimal to no messing. Regardless if we wanted to offload or not, we made life very easy where other clubs would hang on for increased fees etc.

twam2008 · 21-08-2014 11:29AM

F8ck it, I'm in. Do it!!!!

xtal191 · 21-08-2014 11:30AM

It makes so much sense to go for both of them.

Now watch Di Maria go to PSG and Khedira go to Bayern!

TheDoc · 21-08-2014 11:30AM

This news (and I know it's just two players confirmed as wanting to move, nothing really to do with us) comes JUST as I am packing up for my half day.

MINUTES after the girlfriend tells me that I will be having a little night to myself as she is going over to her mothers for the night with our newborn.

THE SIGNS LADS, THE ****ING SIGNS!!!!

bullvine · 21-08-2014 11:31AM

60m double deal, first option on Januzaj future sale to Real......

Lord TSC · 21-08-2014 11:32AM

Refuse to get excited.

PSG will get DiMaria.mArsenal will take Khedira. It's not happening for us....

Quandary · 21-08-2014 11:32AM

Fcuk it, slap £65m cash on the table for the two lads. What's the worst that can happen??

So anyone going to do a formation that will include Di Maria. Im curious

I suppose if we go back to 4-4-2:

De Gea

Rafael

Jones

Evans----Rojo

Di Maria--Herrera--Fletcher--*Shaw

RVP

Rooney

Or 4-2-3-1:

De Gea

-Rafael----Jones

Evans

Shaw

Herrera----Fletcher

--Di Maria

Mata

Rooney---

RVP

Or 4-2-2-2:

De Gea

-Rafael----Jones

Evans

Shaw

Herrera----Fletcher

Di Maria

Mata

RVP

Rooney

* There has been talk of Shaw trying out at LM, also wouldn't be surprised if Rojo was tested there after VG comments on him.

These are just personal opinions based on "what ifs" but saying that I would find it hard to see Di Maria slot into the formation VG has been trying out so I would imagine he would look at changing it if he was brought in.

+1
Madrid will sell them to us if we put the best offer on the table, and the players agree terms (and I still think Di Maria would prefer PSG, and they will find a way around FFP)

Heinze to Liverpool was hardly no frills

keane2097 · 21-08-2014 11:32AM

Khedira is so underrated in this thread most of the time it's criminal.

If Untied signed the two lads it would be a serious side all of a sudden.

J. Marston · 21-08-2014 11:33AM

Not a chance we're getting Di Maria. He wants a pay rise, simple as that, and while we could give him that, PSG could give him more. They'll fiddle FFP with a loan or some more Middle Eastern sponsorship and in the end, they'll get him.

Lets not arse about here, give them 80-90m

TheTownie · 21-08-2014 11:33AM

I forgot I read somewhere of Khedira wanting to go to Bayern. Was probably completely baseless but yeah, German player wanting to go to Bayern... seems legit.

Unfortunately, Ed is proving him right.:(

Can't see Di Maria coming to us
Just can't see it

Unless Rojo is his roast buddy and can convince him
Maybe they have an off the pitch Yorke Cole relationship :eek:

twam2008 · 21-08-2014 11:42AM

Actually, don't know why I'm getting excited, it'll take Ed a few months to sort out the bid.

bangkok · 21-08-2014 11:43AM

I have a feeling khedira will end up at arsenal

Mongo · 21-08-2014 11:43AM

I really think we should just cough up the 20-25m for Khedira and get it done immediately. He's exactly what we need and isn't that expensive. Di Maria is quality but very expensive and attacking options are good for us.

Herrera - Khedira
Mata
Rooney - RVP

TheTownie · 21-08-2014 11:44AM

Rojo's first training

I said that earlier, that was supposedly the same reason we signed Kleberson to keep Ronaldinho sweet.....:mad:

Adamocovic · 21-08-2014 11:44AM

Breaking news: Real Madrid have bought a new fax machine fuelling speculation they are preparing themselves for a bid for DiMaria and Khedira!
