"It could have been a good experience for me to go to Paris. I know I'm still young, perhaps I'll go to PSG one day. I don't know how it will all end." (Di Maria)
With all the speculation about our record signings future he's not exactly putting out fires or doing himself any favours. I've had more faith in LVG than Di Maria this season anyway.

I will have no issues in seeing him replaced with Bale this summer. He has had 2 good games and has been abysmal apart from that. If we can recover our investment by getting him to PSG and then getting Bale then that will be great. I do generally greatly prefer to see us signing guys from Britain anyway.

We need to get rid of the Prima Dona!
He is too much of a liability, we forked out far too much, he may have that X factor we lacked so many times this season with his pace and willingness to commit opponents, but so what if he can't make a tackle or is on completely different wave lengths to the rest, he dives, his distribution is the worst I have seen and frankly he just isn't suited to the PL.
Cut our losses, he is just too feeble.

Beast,
Not saying that you are maybe being a little hasty but some of our better players at the moment a lot of people would have sold 12 months ago. I'll be fair to you, you are consistent with your views, but your lack of ability to realise people need to settle is a bit worrying. I agree he hasn't been great, but he has the 2nd highest assists in the premier league after Fabregas this season and that is whilst playing rather poorly, so imagine if he settles and it all clicks.

GDS2 - I am up for giving anybody time if they show the desire and say the right things, but for him to be coming out with comments like JMB has quoted then balls to him. He should be saying "I have not performed to the level I would have hoped and my 100% focus is on making an impact at Man Utd, I have no interest in playing for another club, my sole focus is repaying the faith this club has shown me" Instead he is hedging his bets, it's weak and disrespectful mate!
We pussy foot around too much, we could end up with another Torres very easily here is we aren't careful. He doesn't have the minerals for it if you ask me, and we should cash in whilst/if we still can.

Got to say I agree with Beast on this one, ADM has been shocking! He will get an assist for saturday however the ball wasnt great hence the acrobatics and everything else he touched resulted in possession turn over (barring the ball that led to the penalty) merely speculation from my part but I truly believe he never wanted to be here in the first place

GDS how long is it acceptable to give a £57million player to settle? It's been what 8 months into the season now so what he gets a full year? Gareth Bale would have been shot by a sniper within the stands of the Bernabeu had he played like Di Maria has in his initial season.
I agree with Beast, Fresh and Clarity here.

I'm with Beast: Get rid of him and try and sign Bale. Those comments are an insult IMO.
