The only reason to sign him is to plug the enormous deficiency we have of players who have won anything let alone a major trophy. On that angle I'm all for it, but would rather we have that experience matched by the personality of a leader and mentor. I don't want him encouraging our young players to become twats. Remember the stories of Gattusso and Ambrosini lamenting the influence of Robinho and Ronaldinho on young players- encouraging them to party etc rather than work on their football? I don't want that.
Also he'll ask Di Maria what it's like playing for us and the answer will be that we're utter pushovers. You can put in less than 50%, pretend you're injured, get yourself sent off etc etc and they'll still think the sun shines oot yer bum.
