So the ugly rag is PANTS at the moment. Can't string a pass together and regularly subbed at half time.

His house has been robbed, so potentially unsettled in England.

Out of form and rags moving his position throughout the game.

If the scum miss out on chumps league, surely he goes?

Would you take him?

If he's unsettled on England a move across town might not be the best idea ever.

Its a big IF though, I'm just throwing the question out there.

I hate the rags more than anyone and never ever want/wanted to sign a rag player, but he was quality at Madrid.

I don't think you become a poor player over night, something is clearly not right at the moment. He's not a patch on the player you saw at Madrid last year but is that due to the system that Man U play? They are shite and slow, the complete opposite to Madrid. He's defo worth a gamble but not at 60 million....

They bought all these players without any kind of plan of how to fit them together. Nine months in the job and butthead still doesn't know his best eleven. Some folk round the theatre of shite will be spitting with rage.

I find it quite amusing.

Where would di maria fit into our line-up?

Is he any good in goal?

it is probably the rag effect. they play any player they have in any position and expect them to wing it.

next we will see phil jones up front and rooney as the defensive mid.

Tia Maria is an excellent player, surplus to the Real ranks due to his, let's say, appearance. For him it was just a shame that he ended up at the Rags, a team that have no plan on how they want to play or which players to form a decent set-up. Good for us, of course.

Some of his movement and crossing is excellent but when your only play is to fall over outside the 18 yard box and then throw on a big lummox like Fellaini, surely your heart would drop, wouldn't it?

Don't think he even wanted to move to the rags. Pretty sure he said he wanted to move to PSG but FFp and the lunatics spending 50 million on David Luiz scuppered the move.

I never thought he was THAT good at madras. Certainly not record transfer fee type good.
And a cheating twat to boot

Didn't he have the most assists of any player in Europe last season?

I'd take him but not for more than £25m. It might just be that it's taking him a season to find his feet and the fact that van gimp is a knob. He'd do well playing for a proper team in his proper position. He's playing with dross at the swamp.

As SoF said you don't become a bad player overnight

Dunno. And to be honest I didn't see h that often. Just my gut feeling when I did see him play.
Always looked happy to fall over too.

Without a doubt, he does love falling on his arse.

But at Madrid he also produced, hard to do that when you play in a team who's plan of attack is to aim at the big pineapple up front.

I watched him a couple of times when we were being linked with him. I didn't want him to come to us.

The idea of Phil Jones playing up front might be an option buzzing around in Butthead's empty mind, given that the Scum are a long-ball outfit.

I'm surprised Big Fat Sam hasn't already suggested this to the Swampland's tactical maestro and he could even consider pairing Jones and Fellaini up front together, to maximise the effect of their creative aerial play.

I don't watch a lot of Madrid to be sure but was he just vastly overrated their ?

He's been shocking bad for the rags aside from his first few games.

I just hope they try to get rid this summer and all they get is Italian teams offering to take him on loan if they still pay his wages.

Not a player for us imo. I reckon Barker in a couple of years won't look out of place in our first team.
