Has anyone complaining he goes to ground too easy considered the fact that the game in Spain is more tactical and players go down easier in general over there? The English game is more physical, it wouldn't take long for him to realise that he needs to stand up more over here or that referees won't punish every foul on him.
Judging him on his footballing ability alone I would take him. Navas and Di Maria on the wings would be a great option to have.

Juan Sebastian Veron was a machine before he came to England. Doesn't always work out

Samaras too.
Di Maria will work out. Veron was more of an intelligence player. So if ur teammates don't get ur vision you might suck. Di Maria is simply speed and skill. Quintessentially English style. Everyone gets "he is about to run at you" football in England :)BoyBlue_1985 said:ello_jo said:Di Maria is awesome, anybody who thinks otherwise will change their mind within 10 games of him playing!

If were going to play with wingers what concerns me is the strikers we have. We only have Dzeko that can get up for high crosses, Aguero and Tevez will be ineffective against tall centre backs. I'm still not sure I trust Dzeko to do a job for us next season and would feel more comfortable with another striker who has some heading ability.

What are you suggesting, signing a battering ram like Andy Carrol?

Wingers can cross the ball on the ground, you know, which is in fact usually more effective (especially with our generally shit crossing).

They can, but if they have to then they lose 50% of their effectiveness. A lack of headed goals is one of the things which made us 2nd.
