Di Maria, Benzema, Cabaye and a defender and I'd be quite a bit more optimistic for the season.

Not sure whether to give into this rumour...
What are the chances it's true?

He's outstanding for 2/3 of the pitch, but inconsistent in the final 3rd.

Hope we get him.

I'd get behind this. He's a player we have been interested in signing before too so I can see it happening

He can play both wings, but isn't he predominantly played on the right? What would that mean for Walcott? Who's our current highest earner, can't see him being benched.

Would love to see Theo on the left though.

Theo---Benzema---Di Maria

Could be tasty, then swap wings if Giroud comes on.

Never liked Theo on the left, too predictable.

Di Maria is fantastic.

Amen bro. Proper winger. Kid's been awesome since he got that hair cut.

He's got teeth and dives like Suarez, so that's a plus as well.

Argentine Gervinho.

Nonsense. He's a creative force, an assist-machine and his left foot is brilliant. Would love him here.

Interesting that Ornstein thinks we could spend the whole 100m we have in the bank. It'll be a frantic couple of weeks if true.

We're going to be fleeced for all we're worth.

never been terribly impressed with di maria, but he would certainly be an upgrade in the wide position. we haven't had a specialist wide man for ages.

have we lodged an enquiry for real's entire squad in the last 24 hours? benzema, di maria, and i've seen an ozil rumour floating around as well. ludicrous.

Why is it ludicrous? They're quality players that we may have a chance of getting.

Would love Özil the most, but we probably need Benzema and Di Maria more.

I don't care if we get fleeced, but if we get him I could totally understand not wanting lamela

is this the same final 3rd where he is one of the leading assist generators in La Liga? 🙂
you did say you want him though, which i agree with. bring him in for the left. Podolski can then be coverage for the left and striker.
