Bingo.
Imagine an alternate reality where something changed early on, Hazard picked up a knock for example and the deal never got going past the press hearing we were bidding.
Can you imagine how many nob heads on here would have been ridiculing Moyes and Woodward for trying to sign Mata. Juan Mata. From Chelsea.
Now imagine an alternate reality where Barcelona's new manager wasn't someone who was going to look to push for a more direct style. Maybe he thought it better to take £35m and put it on a centre back. He couldn't give Cesc's agent the assurances he needed... You know where it's going.
I think any move for Vidal would be similar to the Fabregas one, in the respect that he doesn't really want to leave but would be forced to strongly consider it, if his club accepted a bid.
Had barca accepted our offer, Fabregas would be here. Same with Vidal, if we tempt Juve with enough cash and they accept, Vidal would obviously be a lot more open to a move and a bigger pay deal, as well as the chance to play for one of the biggest clubs on earth and try his hand in a new league.
Would we be a big enough draw for him? Well, If he came here, coupled with the signing of Mata and the great players we already have, I thenk he'd make us a stronger team than Juve, right away.

I firmly believe that the change in manager is the reason we stopped bidding for Fabregas. Shame because he would've been fecking brilliant for us.
It seems logical that he is available if we meet the right numbers. You're looking at probably £50m though.
Surely he would come, especially with a significant wage increase which he'd surely get.

Juventus have wanted Nani for quite some time, still do apparently. With the reported interest in Hermann, would it would really be a surprise if Nani went one way and the Vidal the other? bring the transfer fee down quite a bit as well.
At least 30 quid.
I think the situation with Vidal is much closer to that with Fabregas than with Mata or Van Persie..
Both Mata and Van Persie wanted out (and Van Persie refused to extend his contract with Arsenal). Vidal loves his club, has a long term contract, and he's actually a guaranteed starter unlike Fabregas. (he's also on the verge of winning the league with Juve)
I think we're wasting our time because we should be targeting more realistic targets (realistic doesn't necessarily mean lesser players, but players with realistic chance of wanting to move). If we end up getting him then the joke is on me, but I really don't think we can get him.

Come on David Moyes,
Muppets gone wild up in here Barney! Greed I tell ya!
Bring us brand new toys,
We go wild, wild, wild!
Have we made a bid yet? I want a bid. David, buy him.
Oh well, Marchisio ?
It's okay. We're going to buy Kroos
Ozil said he was staying at Madrid days before he left.
Of course he's not going to bloody say he'll leave halfway through the season....
he will say that until the day comes when Juventus tell him that they have accepted an offer and that they want the money
Farewell sweet prince
This.
He will stay until summer and that's what he meant

WOO. New deal signed, one main CM target down for the summer already. Just waiting for Kroos to sign and Gundogan to go to Madrid so we have none of our muppet CM targets to tease us in the summer.

FFS, didn't like his hair anyway.
Dailymail is the only one reporting this. It's not on any of the major Italian newspapers.
BELIEVE
Whatever keeps your hopes up I guess.
We've no chance of attracting him in the summer anyway.
People say we need a Toure, but this guy is most definitely what we need.
He's the complete midfielder, and he doesn't need a particular type of player to sit next to him - anyone (even Cleverley) will do.

Nothing like those signings
Why do people still talk about him? He is not joining United any time soon.
I'm not saying he's joining United, just that Dailymail is most probably wrong.
What if Moyes was to specifically tell him to get it wide to the full backs and wingers for them to cross the ball and not make forward runs ? We know it's real possibility with him.
He signed new improved contract extension in December, so why would Juventus offer him a new deal only a month later?
Daily Mail and their journalism.

Perhaps we need to sign players that don't speak english. They can sit there nodding during the team talk and then go out and do what they are actually good at on the pitch and ignore the rubbish tactics.
Good idea in theory, but maybe that's why he punted Anderson. Anderson just ran in straight lines down the middle, and seems to speak minimal English. Did not follow orders. First one out the door.
Nah, he's shit. Didn't want anyway!
Surely this is a bogus story as he signed a new deal until 2017 not too long ago? And I cannot find any other reliable news agencies reporting this. It's Vidal, it would be all over BBC and Sky by now.
That is true!- Status
