€73m is around £58m, which, while it's ludicrously expensive, I don't see it as overpriced necessarily seeing as what some players have/do go for, he's a good 6 seasons left in him, so it'd equate to £10m p/s without wages

that's nice but completely irrelevant
Isn't it more like £40-45million?
The Chilean report states $73m, which is £43m, which converts to €54m, which is the bollocks goal.com came out with. Fin.

We've racked up all these posts and all we know is that Vidal is on our radar 
It's just the same shit everyday, hopefully the muppet power will come through in the end.

My new two cents:
Evra for £1.2million? Jog on. It's part of a deal.

Not completely irrelevant at all, the fact the actual is lower further proves my point that he's good for that sort of money.I did mistake the currency sign
Evra knocks on your door and after SAF leave and Moyes come and go, Shaw is the new LB, he wanted to move on perhaps, so if he asks the owner (if it was you), you'd play hardball with Juve or let Evra move on for a small fee?
I was talking in dollars, you responded about Euro's, ergo it's nothing to do with what I said, which I believe makes it ... umm ... irrelevant?
It doesn,t your being pedantic as always, you should be a lawyer, or try to be.
The fact is, whether it was €73m, £58m or 73$ is irrelevant, as my point was that despite any of the mentioned prices, I still believe he'd be worth it.
Well if its not the truth this time I'm gonna have to beat up my source. He has fed me with lies!
If being correct makes me pedantic then I'll happily be pedantic all the time.
Being correct over a small anal point while missing the subject, while looking your main purpose is to argue over your small anal point, then well done
, Im really not just throwing insults around, you are hard to interact with, you pick on little points and miss the main subject of a sentence on purpose as well, you're not silly.Being correct over a small anal point while missing the subject, while looking your main purpose is to argue over your small anal point, then well done
what subject? your subject/point was also irrelevant to what I said. Also, I bolded the part I said was irrelevant, I never mentioned the point, I don't even know why you're trying to bring your little 'point' into it. I made a joke about $, that's all. You responded saying something about €, surely you see that's irrelevant to my joke? Surely? I'm no doubt now awaiting another response saying "but .. but no there was more to my post than that and you just focused on one bit". Well, yeah, I did, the bit I bolded, the bit I bolded that I said was irrelevant.Jesus wept, people on here are so precious.
Yeah I would, either that or you will be put in the same group as Solidshite
Woody's leaving the tour. Someone check the flight schedules, any connecting flights to Turin tomorrow?
But you just know that when people think back to this thread (y'know, when Vidal is in the process of winning us the treble) they'll remember all your posts as Gambit's.
'Who was that guy who was resolutely positive throughout, kept insisting it was on no matter what everyone else was saying?'
'Um... surely Gambit, right?'
'Oh yeah, must've been.'
All your fine work wasted.
Save this to be posted routinely throughout any future transfer saga threads. Remember, if it's done knowingly, we can claim that it's all 'ironic' or 'tongue in cheek', and thus retain our high ground over RAWK, sanity-wise.

The last time he left the tour, he went missing.....we ended up with Afroman... Don't get your hopes high.
Every year I try to avoid these threads but can't help popping in in the hope that we are going to get that summer's big signing. First was Benzema then we had Schneider then it was Anyone at all last year.
This thread will break all records, hopefully it will be worth it.
Exactly
Also he didnt buy anyone when he did leave the tour early, it was for a failed attempt at getting Fabregas, however this time I have more hopes for him as the manager in this time is more decisive and will expect to get everyone he needs and failure is not an option, whereas with Moyes he had hopes of getting players in and if not, sure we can always buy some poor alternatives.
This keeps getting mentioned here that Juve are doing all their shopping for announcing the Vidal sale to please the fans which does make sense, can somebody please tell me how many players they have bought this window and how much cash they have spent by now? .
He will have been on significant wages at United and now Juve so that knocks off a couple of million off his price. £3.5m for a 33-year old left back seems a normal price, he doesn't have more than two seasons left at this level.
Morata and Evra are significant transfers plus two Italians: Marrone and Sturaro.
It's not just buying the players now to placate the fans. Buying the players now prevents the inflated prices for every player they're interested in should they end up with a whack of money for Vidal.
Where does this thread rank now in terms of number of posts against other muppet threads? Which ones had more?
Just past the half way point of the Berbatov thread. We won't beat it, it's going to be wrapped up way before 31st august. My guess is around 14500 posts.
4th in terms of replies, but I think the twitter thread has absorbed over 1000 posts that would have fit into here in the past.
Berbatov, Sneijder, Thiago, Herrera have more I believe.
Which other ones were higher? Just trying to gauge the likelihood of a thread of this size resulting in a signing for us.
50% success rate for >10k threads then. Not bad odds.
Just compared him to other players on Squawka, was really shocked, Herrera, Ramsey, Gerrard all had higher scores, especially Gerrard.
This deserves a
