That's a pretty big leap, all I was saying is that at the time he was a coup, they were a team outside of the champions league signing one of the better wingers on the planet, albeit for a massive price. Obviously it all went south because Di Maria gave up after 2 months, but you can't apply retrospect to change the sentiment at the time.
I can see the Malmaison from where I am right now (In work)
I think I probably know where he hurt himself also. Fucking idiot.
Funny though.
I wasn't here at the time, but given I know this Forum and its contributors better than most, I find that VERY hard to believe.
drugs or kids needs a poll.
I bet Piedro is gutted.I'm not going to blow Piedro.
You keep dragging this off in a confusing irrelevant direction, Gotze would be a coup because he's a player who has enough talent to be playing at a higher level than us, ie a champions league team, just like Di Maria before him. Now stop calling people morons, dumb and childish and understand that simple point.Can you not see the sentiment is fucking pointless and the only thing that matters is whether the player is good for you.
Whether its a coup is only relevant to morons who want go argue whether club x is bigger than club y. Which is childish and dumb.
And a Mendes client who was dumped by his club ending up at United isn't much of a coup. Like Falcao.
Getting excited about bad flashy signings is like getting excited about how bright and shiny the asteroid on its way to hit earth is.
does 'the sperm' have kids? he seems to be doing alright.
Anyway. We digress.

I don't disagree with that part, however it doesn't apply to Gotze as he'd be a coup because he's a very very good footballer.He's got a point only as much as being totally embarrassed about the sort of Liverpool fans who get an internet stiffy about some "well known" player that they can LULZ about on social media, like very single dismal cunt that got excited about Balotelli.
I bet I was one of the bellends talking him up. I can't remember but I wouldn't be surprised 😳And rightly so. While there were a fair number talking the signing up, as many of us (including me) knew from the start that a train crash was coming.

Haha! I would hope I was in the doubter category but knowing my blind adherence to baseless optimism you never know. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. For the record I think Gotze would be a wonderful signing based on nothing but blind optimism 😉I'm sure that, if you were, it was more along the lines of "if Rodgers can get through to him", in other words you'll have recognised the risk involved. To me that's quite forgivable. Less so, IMO at any rate, were the cheerleaders who were giving us sceptics all sorts of grief for casting doubt on the deal, although one often got the distinct feeling that they were trying to convince themselves more than anyone.

Oh and if you don't think Di Maria was a coup for United at the time, well you're just being revisionist, he was sensational before he joined United, and it was only in a Liverpudlians sweetest dreams that he would become so disillusioned so quickly.
£20M with only one year left on his contract is hardly a 'coup'
It's not about the cash though, it's about whether or not he was a much better player than the side he was joining, and he was.I'd be willing to bet if I posted about Di Maria I would have said he's a waste of money , his type of player peaks early etc etc
And everyone would have ignored me.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing, but you're fooling no one if you claim that at the time you didn't think Di Maria was too good for that United team.But he wasn't. As we found out quickly.
You thought he was, they might have thought he was.
But you were wrong weren't you ?
60m pounds of wrong.
Its like saying you got a bargain for your house last year, even though it fell down in a breeze.
