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.
Yeah that's why I said inconsistent, not poor or useless.
He's got a quality cross/pass on him, but sometimes either dribbles into blind alley when in the final 3rd or fucks up with his decision making.
I remember constantly berating him in the 2nd half of the 2011/2012 season. I was of the opinion that he was one of the main reasons Madrid looked so 1 dimensional against deep lying defences, and suggested Madrid go for someone like Hazard, but the fucker suddenly went through a period where he produced sublime passes in almost every single game. Shut me right up 😆
He can definitely do damage in the final 3rd, just inconsistent IMO.
I'd pay £20-25m more for Ozil than I'd for Di Maria, but I'm sure it won't be long before our fans are on his back because he doesn't score much or provide a lot of direct assists. Ozil should be the priority, but I'd settle for Di Maria in the end.
