Can an Angel Di Maria deal be anything other than good business for Barcelona?

There are bound to be thousands of culers that won’t even entertain the prospect of seeing Angel Di Maria wearing the blaugrana simply because of his Real Madrid allegiance.

In the right team, there’s a cogent argument that such a move could be a resounding success.
