A world cup scene is not comparable to the competitiveness of a league and I assume you know that. Van Gaal got the best out of an average set of players out of the Eredivisie, does that make it better than the premier league? I think not.

Hopefully not just back in, but looking like serious contenders for it again.
I wanted Louis to win it for a few reasons, mainly for our and his reputation. It's also would have brought a lot of hope since he can turn a team written off as one of the least superstar-laden Dutch teams in recent history and turn them into world-champion material.
Re the Bayern Munich link isn't this unlikely after he broke a promise a few years ago, don't know the full story but something like if the selling club wouldn't sell, he'd promised to run his contract down & join then, after this one their bosses said he isn't welcome anymore.
If we can rule them out then is there any viable competition for him.

The depth of quality and visibility are pretty strong, though. Especially now, with Arsenal's spending, Rodgers transforming Liverpool and Van Gaal taking over for us, there really should be 5 very, very good (as in 10 in the world) Prem sides this year, and Spurs and Everton both have lots of talent and young managers who play attractive styles.
If this does happen where would this be ranked in our exciting signings?
Number one, for me.
This is a genuine world class player in a position where we're absolutely desperate!
Difficult to say. Probably #2 for me behind Rooney.
1. Vidal
2. Van Persie
3. Rooney
4. Mata
5. Kagawa

Up there most definatley.
Rooney, Ruud and RvP were jizz crazy. I think the fact that we are desperate for a ball playing warrior in CM adds to te excitement.
1. Ruud van Nistelrooy
2. Wayne Rooney
3. Robin van Persie
4. Arturo Vidal
5. David De Gea

Berbatov? I swear the caf was in total delight when the deal was sealed
Definitely, and not just any either. Vidal. fecking Vidal.
I don't want to get too excited, but it seems like this is actually happening, doesn't it?
F.A.P.
F.A.P.
I don't know, I struggle to sift out the actual reliable facts from a lot of muppetry and general discussion. It would be good, for players like this, to have a separate thread with all the reliably sourced articles, quotes, tweets, etc all together in a timeline with no discussion allowed, maybe only a few people are allowed to post on it.
They are citing other reports.
The league with the most goals scored in the WC so far.
We actually don't know whether its happening or not. It may not - and that's being realistic.
Yeah, "according to reports" reports don't really add anything.
What you mean kill him?
Agree that must have turned a few heads and stopped any doubters! Ok so he didn't win the WC but got a lot further than some predicted!
What you mean kill him?
I mean instead of needing to buy a round table, may as well just place the contract on Anderson.
It was clearly a terrible joke as it needed me to explain it
My apologies.I was pissed off because I was a Tevez fan.
Rooney will always be at #1 for me because it felt at the time like we were signing a true world class talent to remember. Vidal is right up there though for me, probably #2 or #3.
It wasn't terrible! My darkened mind wanted to imagine someone putting a hit out on Anderson that's all!I mean instead of needing to buy a round table, may as well just place the contract on Anderson.

No doubt he is world class - but he probably isn't as an exciting as the likes of Rooney, RvP, Berbatov, Mata. Probably because he isn't a creative playmaker nor a world class attacker.
But he is EXACTLY the type of midfielder we have needed in CM. Will be a huge asset.
I was excited when we signed RvP. Dead certain he would have gone City. That would have been bad after they won the league as well.
Then we have Mata. Such a classy guy.

Not really, no.
Cocks out!
So does anyone know when Vidal is due back from Holiday... quite an important question considering the man himself has said that he won't think about his future until he is back from holiday...
They were knocked out by Brazil 2 weeks ago now, so I'm guessing a week or two more and he'll be back for pre-season with Juve?

In that case wouldn't he choose to go to PSG, City or whoever is else is willing to splash the cash?
Anyways, this is my favorite reply. Arsenal have a better shot of winning the CL than Juve. And Arsenal are not getting anywhere near that trophy.
Stop being such a bundle of grumble.
Conversely, where would this rank as our failures?
1) Sniejder
2) Alcantara
3) Ozil
4)Vidal
5) Moura
6)Hazard
7) Kaka
8) Ronaldo
9) Hargreaves 2006
10) Hererra 2013
This is a screen to protect our real targets. Luiz Gustavo or Nigel De Jong, I think.
Kaka wasn't even a thing, that was just trolling by Spoony and a bunch of other caftards that somehow went viral and materialized as bogus transfer rumours.
Strangely enough the Huntelaar and Benzema failures shook me more than most of these.
Oh, and Sanchezter United.
Not getting Batistuta still hurts more than any other.
Oh that's right. Milan Star Dreams of United.
As mentioned earlier, Sanchez, Huntelaar and Benzema it is then.
Really? You'd put Kagawa ahead of RvN, DDG, Schmeichel, Ronaldo, Stam, Carrick, Berbatov and others? I'd struggle to even put him above Fellaini.
