AS (a spainish paper) has claimed that Di Maria was sold becuase he did not sell enough shirts and I quote

Any other club i would call bullshit but with Real you just never know.
I'm sure he wasn't a massive shirt seller for them, Ronaldo, Bale, Casillas.

Tough market.

West Adelaide Bloods, Man City.
of course he was

there's no coincidence that james and di maria cost the same amount. madrid care more about shirt sales then ability.

you can make a very good argument for di maria being madrid's best player last season. yet perez is all to willing to shove him out the club despite ancelotti, ronaldo and ramos, 3 fairly significant figures, wanting him to stay. it's all about marketing.

Kagawa move was a mistake for both parties.

Hopefully he'll be moved on quickly. Could see him doing well in Italy or Spain but can't really think of any Japanese players to move there.
At the time it was good, we needed a CAM. You have to remember this was before Rooney started playing there.

He just said he cant play in cm, hardly criticised everyone already knew that
He said Kagawa didn't want to fulfil his wishes or his philosophy. I'm pretty certain that's being critical and a nicer way of saying Kagawa hasn't done enough.

I just struggle to take LVG's feather ruffling too seriously when I remember who he handed the armband too.

This isn't meant to be a troll, I just think he's made a catastrophic decision.

Rooney is a good choice for captain. Not only is he talented he gives all he can for the team.

Fletcher as VC is the joke.
