Guest SandyWATP Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Is it just me, or is he a little bit shit?He can produce moments of magic, but he loses the ball an amount of times, by either passing it straight to the opposition or running straight into his man.They'd probably be better bringing in someone like Alexis Sanchez.Edit: He's the biggest diver in football, even more so than Biscuits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SandyWATP Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I had high expectations of him as well, hopefully he will be better next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGM_72 3,729 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Aye, he's been a let down this year. Hope he gets a second season at Madrid though, he's got the talent in his locker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SandyWATP Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The commentators always bang on about how good he has been, which is pretty bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddsyRFC 1 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I like him, but I agree players like Sanchez and Ozil are better than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 He's both shite and brilliant. Some of the stuff he can do is unbelievable and on a Messi-esque level, then other time's he looks like Broadfoot could outplay him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenDavis 112 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I've not been that impressed with him. Honest to god, he is the most predictable cunt in football. As soon as he gets the ball his brain goes "left foot, left foot, left foot, left foot." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,821 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 He's a very good player. 17 assists this season suggests he's not shit and his left foot is magic.Inconsistent but still a potential match winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that he's got 17 assists though!He does lack some of the basics but he does make things happen. He looks incredibly raw compared to someone like Messi but Di Maria is a good player. There's no way he'd be as successful as he is without having something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Cracking player; speed, skill, ability, cracking left foot, contributes a lot to his team...Would hardly say he is overrated. I don't think anyone hypes him up too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone hypes him up too much. di Maria has been one of my favourite players to watch this season. Might not be the most consistent, but when he plays... he plays!

As I said in my OP, he does produce moments of magic, but for the money they paid for him I'd expect a bit more consistency.Alexis Sanchez or David Silva would have been better options.

the goal machine 7,821 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 For a player to contribute as much as he has and to be labelled disappointing is a bit harsh.Imo, he's had a good season and although isn't a complete player, he is a match winner and can provide that moment of magic.
