Has moved to PSG representing a £14m loss for Utd.
Was he really that bad? I saw something which said he was the 3rd most creative player in the league last season. Could this be a massive over-reaction by united and not really appreciating that sometimes it takes time to adapt?
I know they paid a lot of money for him and they didnt get what they'd hoped for. But have they given up on him too soon?
I understand the concept of cutting your losses - but was he really that bad last season? And do they think he's now definitively 25% cr*pper than the player they chased only last year? Liverpool are only asking £7m for Balotelli after paying £24m for him last year I think. Is this in the same category as that? (Balotelli is a trouble-maker, has always been tempramental, inconsistent and ?that good - he was a panic buy after they lost Suarez and I can understand why they want rid and are prepared to take a hit to do it - but is the same true of Di Maria?)
