£63mill fee agreed for Di Maria

Shatters the current record for the most expensive transfer in England. Unfortunately I can't imagine him flopping but I better check with Neil Ashton to confirm.

Good player, but 63mill then the wages on top?

Wages second only to Rooney at United, I read... somewhere. I forget where tbh.

I'd rather have Balotelli. do i even need white text for this?

I think it's impossible to judge what's good value any more. But I think he's a top class player and for Man Utd (and their new income streams) it's not even a huge financial risk if it goes tits up. They'll just spend another £40m someone within the league.

A bit like us with Ozil last year I think they were just trying to make a big statement. If Di Maria's the type of player who can drive the team from central midfield (apparently he is able to play there) then Man Utd will solve a big problem.

Pogba ( ) or Vidal would've been the instant solution that can run the show and get Man Utd challenging for the league just like Van Persie did in 2012/13. If Man Utd are willing to spend this sort of money, I'm surprised why they don't offer it to Juventus. And if they have, I'm surprised Juventus are able to turn it down. Although maybe the players don't want the move.

Tottenham have played some excellent football, at least going by MOTD highlights. Rio Ferdinand was finished a a few seasons back though, QPR should be an easy game if he's on the pitch.
