It's all about the money now. There is no way any player should choose another English side over us if we match them in price. When we lost Duff to Chelsea it was because they offered a lot more than us. He would never have gone there if we'd matched their bid.
Read somewhere that the price would be 38m euro. Has to be media bullshit. Can't understand why we should pay this much for a unproven young player..do we actually need Di Maria? Rather see Milner and Silva at OT for 10m extra..
