Delighted with the di maria deal but personally don't think it signals we can still attract the top talent. I reckon we signed him because we were the only side with the cash available at the time (we know psg were trying to sell to raise funds) and because good old Ronnie put in a good word for us. Real can simply make a comment to the press about a player and within a week that player is begging to leave for madrid, we are still at the stage of having to really work for these deals because of no UCL. Hopefully I am very wrong and vidal is still possible. Either way this is a much better window than last summer and woodward has clearly improved his negotiating skills
