What was the fee? £59.5m or something like that? Nah, can't see PSG even paying more than £40m, in fact if it was anyone other than the red scum I don't think Madrid would have gotten anything like that fee, don't think they would have even tried.
Don't know anything about "football observatory",but this is what they reckon...
Manchester United overpaid by €30million to land Angel Di Maria, according to the Football Observatory.
The Red Devils smashed the British transfer record when they brought in the Argentine for £59.7million (€75million).
There were of course plenty of other major deals too prior to the summer window shutting at 11pm on Monday night.
Football Observatory have looked at every transfer worth more than €10million across Europe and compared them against OPTA stats to see which clubs over-paid, under-paid and splashed the right amount of cash.
And Di Maria's switch to Old Trafford is seen as the biggest mistake, with the 26 year-old in fact valued at €45million (£36million).
United are also regarded to have paid over the odds for Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw - as did Arsenal with their signings of Alexis Sanchez and Calum Chambers.
Sounds about right, but then again Suarez and Bale weren't worth the money paid for them, neither were Falcao (twice), Cavani, James, Ozil, Luiz (biggest mistake for me, worth closer to 5m than 50m), Torres etc etc etc.
