He's a natural winger I thought.
That still wouldn't make much sense. I thought they were getting rid of Di Maria because there is too much competition. Getting in El Shaarawy helps nothing
With di Maria leaving their squad would be a bit short of wide players, Ronaldo, Bale and Jese would be left.
If we can't get di Maria I would love it if Woodward/LvG went for El Shaarawy instead. Very bright talent, just needs the proper guidance and a stable club for him to reach his potential. Snatching him from under Madrid's noses would be even better.
That's true in terms of pure wingers but Rodriguez can play there too can't he if needed? I have no idea what Madrid are doing but it's a great problem to have I guess
They know Di Maria will kick up a fuss at not playing and will sell for good money.
El Shaarawy would be purely for the bench. Quite literally for the bench, and nothing else.
Where would we play him?

I suspect things are moving forward and Juve are getting a very reasonable price for Vidal from us, no need to declare our interest.
If Woodward doesn't bring in at least one marquee name he will be crucified.
He has painted himself into a corner with his own words.... having said that, I am fully confident he will deliver before Sep 1st.

Nani/Young replacement.
Yeah, Isco can play wide too. God knows what Madrid are doing, but they're strengthening as champions of Europe and look incredibly strong.
If thats the truth, there is no stronger endorsement to the Americans about how much value the truly top tier talents can bring to the table.
As a centre-forward?
I think they can be forgiven for choosing novelty over playability, considering they are only a small third division club.
Absolutely, he plays wide forward/striker for Milan and scored a lot of goals before getting injured.
If we bought Vidal even I'd buy a shirt, and I haven't had one for about 10 years.
The 25th is tomorrow no?
Can we stop this myth that Madrid can magically pay their ridiculous transfer fees by selling shirts.
They come out with this crap every time they buy a 'galactico'.
I call bullshit.
Bollocks, accidentally deleted me own post
So they made 75 euro off each jersey? Even saying they sell for 100 euro, there's no way Madrid would get 75% of the sale. They always come out with this bullshit too, and people lap it up.
I'm pretty sure shirt sales do not go direct to the club anyway.
A nonsense article. It says 345,000 shirts have been sold at 75e each. Which is nearly 26Me. So Madrid are keeping 100% of that are they? Please. I know they get a profit share but after manufacturing, marketing and distribution costs and Adidas profit share, they'll be lucky to be making 15e a shirt. Which is 5me.
They assume that Real get 75 euro per shirt, thats a tad optimistic.

"Real Madrid have sold 345,000 James Rodriguez shirts in 48 hours since the Colombian signed for the Liga giants.
Who Ate All the Pies picked up on a report by Spanish newspaper Sport that cited the figure. Sport's source for the number was Euromericas Sport Marketing."
"Sport also reports that over one million Cristiano Ronaldo shirts have been sold since he joined Real Madrid."
They may have sold a crapload of shirts but there is no way they are pocketing 100% of the proceeds.
I hope we go nowhere near El Shaarawy, terribly over rated
Cristiano I can understand. Its been more than 4 years. He is the best player on the planet. But with Rodriguez I refuse to believe they have already sold more than 345,000 jerseys.
Here's an article that looks closer into the shirt sales question.

He was terrific before Ballo came.
So Vermaeelen then. De Vrij would've been cool.
If LvG plans on playing with 3 at the back for the entire season, surely we'll have to invest in 2 CBs?
Bullsh1t
Dithering Lou making us miss all our targets.
Vidal in Turin: My future? I'll talk to the coach on monday
The figure of 1m seems really low over the length of time. If they sell 345,000 James shirts in a few days, surely it can't be right that they've only sold three times that many Ronaldo shirts in 5 odd years.
