Renewal of Ángel #DiMaría: the agents of the Argentine would be expected in Turin by the end of the month to discuss the contract extension.

Don't renew.
Do the smart thing, just for once.

Why not? It makes sense financially. 1 season at 6m net costs the club 11m gross, 2 seasons at 6m costs the club 15m gross due to tax relief. And he obviously can still play a significant role in a position we dont have many alternatives.

The man just played a great WC final.

it's one year and he's our only attacker who had at least 5 genuinely good matches this season. the 2nd season also qualifies him for the tax relief

if it was for an other 3 seasons i'd say screw it, but for one additional season? any better players in sight?

 

[GrandeGigi]

He is collecting the ball deep inside his own half most of the time and expected to run the length of the pitch like he is Douglas Costa.

If we actually played some attacking football, got him the ball in the final third with an attacking full back that is actually a threat to ensure he isn’t doubled all game his output would be far greater.
Sadly if we keep him, we know he will probably still be playing with a 36 year old Cuadrado and MDS because we don’t invest in full backs here at jJ. They probably aren’t marketable.

I've had enough of overpaid players who play 1 decent game a month on average. If that.

He's way too expensive compared to what he delivers.
Same goes for other players as well, obviously, but most of them have longer contracts. The way I see it, not renewing these kinds of deals is a first step.

overpaid? that's certainly debatable. strickland did the maths, we have a dozen who cost more on a yearly basis

for me we have at least 15 players who should leave before di maria. in a semi decent team he's still a baller

I disagree there. if the cost for his 2nd year is additional 4m and he maintains his current level (8G+7A so far), that statement isn't true, that's actually pretty cheap.

in general besides the goals and assists what I like about di Maria is that he encourages the other players to play football, at least couple of times this season I have seen that him coming on as a substitute changes the approach of others.

of course if the agent tries to take advantage of the tax relief and demands a crazy salary for the 2nd year, which might very well happen, I too would be in favor of parting ways, we are long overdue on having some financial discipline.

He is the ONLY player who can put a good through ball in this squad.

Edit: i guess pogba too but im not counting someone who might never even be fit an play for at least a quarter of the season lol

 

[TheLaz]

This renewal is high priority. If reasonable demands, it's a no brainer.

Would you get a load of this guy

Fortunately we'll be able to breeze past Bologna without him

Another healhty and positive loss? Incoming draw? Domestic winless streak extended to 5 games?

 

[U Picciriddu]

Injured.

Trauma to his ankle.

At least that heals, not sure if our traumatised eyes will heal after to much jihadball

 

[.zero]

Our best attacking player out. I’m sure really puts a hole in Allegri’s game plan to run up the score
