We have a bumper addition of Paper Chase for you today - with the rumors rife before the summer transfer window. Top of today’s gossip is Real Madrid’s Angel Di Maria. The forward is the subject of interest from new City manager Manuel Pellegrini, who will aim to make a bid when he officially takes control of the squad.

Our sympathy goes out to those brave souls that have to play Bolivia in La Paz, a city which is an incredible 13,000 feet above sea level. Poor Argentina winger Angel di Maria required oxygen during the 1-1 draw in a World Cup qualifier such was the poor air quality. It gives new meaning to the expression ‘take a breather.’
By now, you’ve all probably seen Angel Di Maria’s dribble dummy that made Carles Puyol do the splits to help Real Madrid advance to the Copa del Rey finals past rival Barcelona.
The Spanish defender has rarely been embarrassed in such an open and public manner. In fact, the last time Puyol suffered a silly spill took place during Denilson’s time with Real Betis.
With that in mind, we gotta ask, how skinned Puyol better: Denilson or Di Maria? Check out this video and cast your vote here.
Ankle break!
