With di Maria LVG can play him in a 352 as a LWB or CM. Or he can sub a CB and convert this to a 433 or 442 where Di Maria can also play LW or RW. All with his trademark tireless running for 120 minutes and great technique.

you dont sign Di Maria to play him left wing back.

I think LVG miss the players to deploy a proper 4231 or 433 with an elite wide player.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat 23 Aug 2014 - 23:54

Don't think 433 or 4231 works tbh, one of RVP or Roonay is forced wide.

442 diamond is probably best setup for what they have.

But Van Gaal is obsessed with his 352 IMO.

Why? He said he wants to play a 4-3-3, but they don't have wingers. 3-5-2 is obviously second choice lol.

Did he lol? Wasn't aware of that, still though that system would force a striker outwide.

Which still isn't ideal.

WAT

Perez spent nearly 200m on Bale and Rodriguez. DEM negotiation skillz DOE.

Difference is both Bale and James are players teams wanted to keep.

But to get these fees for Luiz and DI Maria who they want to get rid.Compare this with say Barca who always undervalue their players when trying to sell

yeah i wouldn't use us (barca) as an example on why someone is a good negotiator, we make everyone else look good.

Di Marzio wrote:Madrid always enjoyed a lot Di Maria’s plays, but they never appreciated him enough, even though he helped them winning la Decima, he invented that Bale goal. Even a big fan like Ancelotti excluded him in Supercopa: “I left him out due to a technical choice, I didn’t need him.” The Argentinian winger is ready to leave Madrid. He’ll be thanked, but without too much affection, there is a some bitterness and regret. “El Fideo isn’t practicing with the rest of the group ahead of the first match in La Liga,” says Marca. He’s not at Valdebebas. Angel is about to leave Real Madrid. He’s headed to Van Gaal’s Manchester United.

Mr Nick09 wrote:capitalize how? United are not going to pay Di Maria 8 mil net are they? this is done and dusted anyway, Mendes offered Di Maria to Man yoo, PSg and Monaco, Di maria chose PSG.

getting rid of Pastore and Lavezzi shouldnt be too complicated for them, Pastore cant play in their midfield and di Maria replaces Lavezzi.

psg forwards: Di Maria-Ibra-Cavani-Lucas-Ongenda
midfielders: verratti-matuidi-motta-cabaye-whoever

still pretty strong but they would only lose a bit in depth.

Anclotti in his presser: DiMaria did not train, he said his good bye to his team mates, he wanted to go and I wish him the best of luck. Nothing is official yet but it's close to getting done

I guess it's confirmed now then

Di Maria set to break the British transfer record Proud

by halamadrid2 Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 13:16

He will also be the most expensive LaLiga player ever to get sold. I just hope we squeezed every little penny out of United.

£70mill+ and I am a happy bunny. save that and buy Ramsey next season

I figured you needed a helping hand in realising Utd is now your favourite team with Di Maria moving there.

Thank me later.

How does it feel like to be a madridista? The man who brought you La Decima are being forced out!

hmm

by Mr Nick09 Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 13:52

it feels the same as before, Florentino perez is an idiot who is once again failing to reward some low profile guys that did good work for him. Last time, we self destructed. This time, he has much more talent and bodies available to make up but it's still a tremendous loss. Di Maria was a top 10 player last season, and we just sold him.

by halamadrid2 Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 13:57

We might still win CL. A midfield of Modric-Alonso/Illarra-Kroos will be solid once we get a proper number 9 to aim crosses at

DiMaria gone will be nothing new as we always sell important players but at least this time we won't get low balled into selling him for dirt cheap like the rest of them

I just hope Carlo has balls to bench Bale for James

As for my other team, we still need a proper CM and a WC CB to get into the top 4. Thank god he didn't join that obscure league called ligue 1 would never hsve watched him then. EPL will be great with him

by junkyard Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 14:07

But do you still trust Alonso/Illarra? Are you comfortable with defensive abilities of Kroos? Feels like without Di Maria you are losing the balance of your team!

by farfan Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 14:07

di maria is too ugly to play for madrid tbh.

Nah, the talent in midfield is not an issue. Thing about Di Maria is how he was alone an accelerator for our offense. It can be replaced with ball movements and faster quicker passing and transitions, but our guys dont combine that well, consistently.

by halamadrid2 Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 14:16

We will see how that midfield does during the season but it survived the Atleti test which is a start. It has slot more structure and discipline than when DiMaria plays there but he usually has the speed to get back. Offensively we will suffer because we don't have anyone that can attack, create and defend like him so we will likely see Ronaldo and Bale having the ball alot more than the last season.

This whole Benz at number nine worked because DiMaria created from the midfield and Ronaldo/Bale scoring made sure that there wasn't questions asked about our number nine (although people still did) but as the Atleti game showed with our fbs and wingers having the ball more we will need a hungrier number 9 and Benzema is not it. We tried James as LCM but that made us defensively weak

I really like that midfield against Sevilla/Atleti but I already know they won't contribute much to our attack so wasn't particularly dissapointed when they weren't. Tactically Kroos, Xabi and Illarra know how to break up play and know exactly where to be when defending so I have n qualms about that just yet

by mr-r34 Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 14:54

Oh FFS madrid why the hell did you have to sell to united FFS, back on the barca bandwagon when it comes to la liga.

But our directors being shit at selling doesn't make Florentino the god of negotiating..

by Mr Nick09 Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 16:42

Editor in Chief of Marca says that the deal is done:
-75 millions euros base deal
+5 millions bonus "easy to reach"
+5 millions in bonus "attainable"
+5 millions in bonus more difficult to reach

Total deal worth 90 millions euros, madrid would at least collect 85 mil unless united collapse again.

by LeVersacci Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 16:48

World class midfielder. Average winger imo.

Thanks for everything Di Maria.

Let's see if LVG can get the best out of you.

by halamadrid2 Sun 24 Aug 2014 - 17:11

excellent fee just shows how much we value him. Should have done more to keep him though

The difficult 5mill is for winning the league apparently. With a guy like dimaria you can expect to fight everygame until blood drains out of your bodies

Bayern in late for Di maria
