That entire club is such a joke. They are trying to buy everyone up before Fifa starts it's limitations. I hate that club with a passion.
I would love to get those two if it meant passing up on Ribery even though we might pay more.
I like fellow Madrid haters.
Anyways, I'm a hot proponent for signing Di Maria + 1 instead of Ribery. I think we'll get immediate class and ronaldesque potential. Furthermore we have the possibility of signing an addtional player like Hamsik, Mesut or god knows who, for almost the same fee.
Lets say we have Melo, Sissoko, Marchisio, Candreva, Diego, Di Maria, Hamsik / some guy, Camo and perhaps still Gio. That is 9 players for 4/5 positions in a 4-3-2-1, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2, we'd be very versatile, and fit several tactics well as especially Hamsik, Candreva and Marchisio can play several positions.
Off course Ribery wold still offer a lot, but all his injuries worries me. I'd like to se a list over possible games/games missed the last two years.
