The most reliable paper is Gazetta but Tuttosport and La Stampa are turin based outlets who have the inside track on Juve.
Just a matter of time now my lovely people. This season is going to be unreal.
If we do sign this lad up. i am making a vow to get a Vidal hair cut. Not to be mistaken for a midlife crisis!
Unless you've got an inside track, I doubt this is just a matter of time.
Is TuttoSport the Italian equivalent of M.E.N, if so then they can't be reliable?
Too much smoke without fire. Why would the Italian press keep talking if there wasn't something in this?.
Despite not having any sort of inside track, it's definitely just a matter of time.
€45+addons to a potential €51m - and we'll sign 1 more world class player and 1 more top class player before letting 5 go.
That logic doesn't really work; not all local papers have the same level of sources.
M.E.N is an uninformed rag, Tutto apparently does have sources at Juve.
They are a Turin based newspaper and the most reliable when it comes to news about Juve
A lot of United fans I know are on this particular vow.
I personally think Juventus might want €50m. United offer €40-43m plus Nani.
Despite being a massive Vidal fanboy, I hate Mohicans so will definitely not be joining that gang.
I think Tuttosport just gave this thread the boost it needed to push on into the top three. The only thing that can stop it now is a deal getting wrapped up surprisingly quickly in the next couple of days. Can't see that happening though.
You have to replicate his tattoos then.
Would you prefer a novelty afro?
I'm sure they do.
But the situation right now has been played well by us and is in our favour.
We've got the player on board, his agent keen to push the move through and no other club in competition.
Despite him saying he will be happy to stay should the move fall through, the truth is that rejecting the offers is a difficult position for Juve to be in as they are left with a player who despite what he says has a mind very much elsewhere.
If he signs for us and we win the league when he is here, I'll get a relevant tattoo. Kind of a big deal as it'll be my first tattoo.
Ok, just got the impression that they might be re hashing stuff from other unverfied sources but thanks for confirming.
Hate to piss on everyone's corn flakes but Tuttosport will print stories to serve a purpose for Juve. If they want to make it known to clubs he's available for a certain amount then they hope for more competition other than Utd.
I hope we are interested but I'd be retiscent to out trust in that paper

There isn't a single club that will be interested that could be more attractive to him than us.
What do you base this on? You make it sound like Tuttosport is a PR device for Juventus.
It's just bizarre we are denying the story to the British media but the proposed move is widespread in Italy and Chile.
My gut feeling is that he might be a backup option and/or we are not too confident with paying a hefty fee for a player that has a dodgy knee, anyhow either way the longer it rumbles the less likely it will happen.

Not bizarre at all though, is it. Exactly the same happened with Herrera.
Wasn't the Herrera deal a surprise even in the Spanish media.
What a load of crap, you think they are using a paper to announce he's for sale? Why does he have an agent if that's the case. If Vidal want's to leave every club worthy on the planet will be aware.
Perhaps Tuttosport by themselves, but then why would the Chile media also back it up ?? They have no connection to Juve at all. The player or his agent could do it perhaps, but then they would not be able to influence the italian media and tuttosport. Neither the agent, nor the club can influence both media alone.
It likely mean that there i some truth to these claims.
We are clearly keeping everything under wraps, and anything leaked is not on our end.
Not surprising, considering last time we were open, it turned into a huge mess. Lesson learned.
Also don't forget Andy Mitten said we were in negotiation with Juve regarding Vidal
It's like it's the worst kept secret in world press. Aside from in England where all the journalists are keeping hush hush.
Juventus tried to sign Guarin in January but Inter fans went mental and the club pulled the plug on the deal.

Tuttosport mentioning a bid. I did say last night that it was rolling... #vidal

Lads, I've got it all worked out. Bear with me:
- Woody gets on a plane back to Europe
- Chile media saying new bid imminent
- Tuttosport saying we've launched a new bid circa €50m
- Vidal returns from holiday on Monday and is said to then have talks with Juve
- Ed said watch this space

Modric
See, I keep seeing stuff like "Vidal is 2nd best in the world after Modric" etc, but I don't really get it.
I don't doubt that Modric is one of the very best in the world, possibly the best, at what he does, but is it the same job as Vidal? Admittedly I don't watch Madrid that closely, but the Modric I remember from Spurs and what I've seen of Madrid couldn't be classed as box-to-box, hard-running, hard-tackling etc. Much more a (better) Carrick-style player, controlling tempo using technical passing skills etc... Am I wrong?
Modric is actually good defensively has a bit of bite in him and isn't afraid to get stuck in.
I think you can call a player a box to box midfielder without him being an aggressive and hard tackling one. Modric is involved in everything, from defending in his own box to setting up chances even scoring at the other end.He could be compared with Vidal even if in terms of style they're a lot different.
