It's definitely doable with the right money but this is Man United - we just don't achieve transfers like this.
Arturo Vidal

Thanks for reminding me but I tend to go off the performance of the most recent season.
Just remembered this. Gazzetta dello Sport is reliable, rite?
The Pogba case continues to make top lines of Italian newspapers. A new development Wednesday: Sell Vidal to keep Pogba.
According information from the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport on Wednesday, leaders of Juventus are preparing to sell this summer midfielder Arturo Vidal for an amount of € 40 million to enable them to keep the French international, Paul Pogba, so precious for the Old Lady.
Vidal could rebound in a big Liga club, Barca or Real Madrid who have expressed interest in the player.
However, Paul Pogba, courted by many clubs will not be for sale in the next summer transfer window.

To be honest, whenever I've watched Juventus, Pogba has always looked more impressive than Vidal.
It is still absolutely ridiculous to think we had Pogba in our squad a couple of seasons ago.
Vidal would do nicely though.
Vidal would do nicely though.
Vidal would be a great signing, but we only have a decent chance of signing him if we offer Juve 60m, offer Vidal 200k a week and if Barca or Real are not interested. That is the harsh reality.
The comments that are most probably made up by some 14 year old on twitter. Still leads most on the Caf a merry dance though.
Mata begs to differ.
Nope official quotes.
If that's the case, and we all know it is, there's absolutely no chance in hell of this happening, if Woodward pulls it off, it would be the making of the man.
Managers say these things, no need to make a big deal out of it. Fergie used to do it. Remember Charlie Adam?
Mata was handed to us on a platter. Didn't have to compete against any other club for his signature and had a manager and club who wanted to respect his wishes.
Don't think we have a chance here. If he's available every big club in the world will be sniffing around. All who are in the CL, can offer the same cash, and are closer to winning things than we are.
To be honest I think people should ease of Woodward. He is in a new role. I do agree though, it would put a lot of doubters minds at rest.
That sentence makes my eyes hurt. It's so grammatically fecked up I can't even work out what your real point is. Is it a poem?
I'm not one for transfer muppetry, but I'd squeal like a girl, and maybe leak a little sex wee, if we signed Vidal.
Vidal would think he'd joined a club full of perverts. Imagine he gets to OT and all the fans have yanked their knobs out.
I like box to box midfielders and Vidal is one of the very best around. He is very strong defensively and gets forward and contributes to attack, creating and scoring.
He does have weaknesses though, like all players. One is, he commits a lot of fouls. The other, is he gets dribbled often. Although with Vidal I think the positives outweigh the negatives.
I think he is definitely a better option that Strootman, because Vidal's strengths are stronger than Strootman's and more importantly, Strootman's weaknesses are the same as Vidal, but worse than Vidal's.

Netherlands play Chile next week. Probably talking about it in that context.
"Think"? He would know....
Well we do need a new Vida 
Van Gaal should tap him up next week
If we don't sign Vidal or any box to box type midfielder, why not promote Pearson straight into first team next season. Pearson might develop into a player who is even better. Never know unless he is given a chance, like Januzaj.
There once was a guy named Vidal
Who became good mates with Van Gaal
He chatted him up
just before the world cup
And was incredibly good for morale

I reckon we should just go ahead and have this thread locked as to not jinx it.
Dream Pocco. Dance the dance of life!
Spend 60 mil and get Vidal!
For what it's worth..
Man Utd transfers: Louis van Gaal tried to sign Arturo Vidal
Man Utd transfers: Louis van Gaal reveals that he tried to sign Arturo Vidal earlier in his career

Louis van Gaal has revealed that he tried to sign Arturo Vidal earlier in his career before the midfielder ended up at Juventus.
The 27-year-old has been touted as a target for Manchester United in recent weeks following Van Gaal’s appointment as the Red Devils’ new manager.
And Netherlands boss Van Gaal, whose side will face Chile in the group stage of the World Cup, is a keen admirer of the former Bayer Levekusen man.
“Chile have very dangerous players,” said Van Gaal. “I always wanted to buy Vidal when he was at Bayer Leverkusen but he went to Juventus.
“I like a lot of Chile players and they always play an attacking style. It will be difficult for the Netherlands but we have confidence in the three games we have to play.”
I like how this rumour has got to 25 pages without any real reliable sources or indication he might leave for us. We're clearly all willing this one to happen.
Not one person thinks Vidal wouldn't be class for us, but just can't see this happening. There would have been something vaguely reliable to cling out to by now, surely.

Vidal and Schweinsteiger. Imagine if that became a reality.
Vidal and Koke would be the ultimate muppet dream.
Would only take about £100m and them both leaving the Champions of their leagues and joining a club outside of the CL.

I said muppet dream didn't I!
If only United had a couple of characters, like you find on the caf, in charge of transfers. We would get many a deal done! 
Is there any rule that stops fans signing players?

We'd probably go to 4-5th favorites to top 2-3 instantly.
We'd still have a pretty terrible defense so I don't know about that.
I wouldn't call our defense terrible, with the addition of Shaw we'll be set on the left, he made TOTY so he's not exactly average. If Rafael is fit there's no need why he can't be the best RB in the league, as for the CB pairing we could do with a signing alright. Also our keeper needs no introduction, he's the best in the league for me.
Having two world class holding midfielders your defense is less prone from attack through the middle, I think we'd be a quality side.
Don't do it to yourselves guys
Ignore @KingMinger22 guys. Do it! Do it! Do it!
And Messi's stopped pressing as hard and he rarely scores with his head.
