he hasn't regressed at all, because he has shown what he can do with freedom he has for Argentina. he has been used as a slave for Mou at Madrid. other teams have a good enough sense to know this.

daily mail write in pounds because its a british news outlet and Spanish press use euros because thats their currency. Don't know where dollars came into their equation

the guy said an important player for our team and modric isn't exactly perceived as an important player yet. but it could possibly be him though. khedira?? 40mill??

Doc wrote:He hasn't been used as a "slave" for Mou. His first season was great (under Mou) but eventually, teams started to realise Di Maria has ONE foot. And like Robben, it became "easy" to defend against. His skill is excellent but he doesn't use his brain to determine what is the better option. Once again, using one foot all the time leaves you with little options to begin with.

As much as I rate International football, his form with Argentina has nothing to do with his form with Real Madrid.

rational criticism

I agree but youd have to search very hard to find one with his talent that can use both feet. DiMaria had a great first season because Ramos helped him out in attack. Nobody can take on a whole side on his own without any support, if there is please do point me to the right direction.

The difference between Argentina and Madrid is the support he gets from the back and the great players there are who can run behind a defence and he spots them. I mean his understanding with Missi is phenomenal. So he has shown he actually does do good when he is put in an environment that could actually help him

if he stays and does bad with Carvajal on his side then ill put it down to him however as of now ill give him the benefit of dlubt because he has shown what he is capable of sometimes during internationals the weekend after a mid week game so its not like he shows it in bulks. I have never seen anyone criticize Ozil as much when lately his decision making has been worse and turnover exceeding that of dimarias. in fact they want a team built around him ffs

I am nkt saying he is bad either but there is obviously a reason they have not performed. ozil does nkt get the support from lower down aka dlp and cm and DiMaria doesn't get support from rb and as a result our strikers have been starved and to adress this we have to repair the source of this downward spiral. We got Carvajal as an Arbeloa replacement, Modric will likely replace Khedira and hopefully Illaramendi will replace Alonso. That way we get superior players in the positions in need of reinforcement and the strikers will benefit from the as well.

Fck Bale/Cavani and buy Illaramendi and our summer transfer is done and we can focus on improving

pls go

Khedira is not fast, he doesn't offer anything offensively, is slow when defending, can't get himself out of a pressurized area, his passing range is 5 meters.......have I missed something? ?

we will be lucky to get more than 15mill for him

ps: pls dont call me fanboy

thank god you can debate with me then

Doc wrote:Most top footballers can use both their feet but would prefer to use a given foot (possibly since it's their natural shooting foot). Di Maria does not use his right foot...period. Not to trap, hardly to pass and once a in a blue moon to shoot. That leaves him in a predictable position for any credible defender to limit his movements. Now, since he is damn talented, he can just use skill but in those big matches where defenders are worth their salt, he tends to look quite inflexible and limited.

I wouldn't mind Di Maria being sold, I would admit that. But similar to Benzema, if the club allows him to stay to "redeem" himself under a new manager, I'm all for it as he is really a fine footballer. But if he continues this trend Hala, you know well he wouldn't last long in this club.

As for Khedira, intelligent player that is limited by his own God given talent. If they are any suitors, probably won't go for anything higher than 20mil euros...

I thought he did great in the big games this season. But as you said only using one foot has made him somewhat predictable but I also want to put that down to having no support. with a player to pass to on the wings he/we would be less predictable and add more variety which would confuse the defenders

So if I was the coach id give him another year to see if he improves if he doesn't then sadly I am gonna have to part ways with my avatar I have had for three years and its going to be painful I have to tell you

According to AS Morata will be a member of the first team next season which only means one thing..... no striker will be bought

Also according to portuguese paper Abola cacktrao has been told he is not featured in our plans and he wants to move back to Benfica. As long as they pay as much as we bought him for he can sling his hook.
