Imagine what an impact signing him and Alexis Sanchez would have. If we could do it for £100m even it would be money well-spent.

Lovely through ball from him in the lead up to the goal there
Edit: I actually think it was Alexis.

I'd spend all our money on these 2, no doubt
I say go all out for Vidal and Sanchez. Two quality players.
If only Vidal would be less interested in his facial grooming and more in his on-field discipline, he's be a real quality player.
Who cares? He's awesome.
Unbelievable through ball for that goal.
What excites me most about Chile winning. It'll mean the DEATH of the Tiki-Taka which has been the most boring football I've ever been unlucky to watch.
THIS! The amount of fecking hipsters that tried defend it to the last saying it was skill, tactics.. or what ever fecking excuse they could use just to support the team using it because they were winning, its straight up boring! Even when Pep when to Bayern he ruined them!
This.
He basically made whole midfield of Spain look like a bag of shite, fantastic performance. He looked like on drugs, been everywhere, tackling, passing, controlling the ball like a boss, he's got it all really.
The first goal? After watching the replay I think it was actually Alexis. I should have edited my earlier post.
Anyone got the stats on how much distance he covered? Ideally compared to everyone else on the pitch. Unreal amount of energy. I felt tired watching him
Crazy.
50 millions should do. Go and get the lad.
Thanks. Where did you get the stats from? Interested to see everyone elses.
I've become a massive fan of this guy. Just love everything about his play style.
What an animal. If there is the slightest chance that we can sign him we should go all-out. Fantastic player and is exactly what we need.
Are you sure? I was pretty certain it was Vidal.
Never go full muppet.He's a complete beast, so good right across the attribute spectrum and his energy is limitless, he'd thrive in the PL, this is where the budget should be going for us.
I've re-watched it a couple of times. I thought Sanchez robbed the ball and played a quick one two with Vidal and when he got it back played the through ball. I'm pretty sure it was that way round?
Him and Sanchez would solve so many of our problems. If we really have 100 millions to spend we should try everything and get those 2. Incredible players.
The good thing is that I imagine LvG has scouted them and watched videos of them lots as they were in the same WC group. He also recently said that he wanted to sign Vidal when he was manager of Bayern, so we know he admires him and hopefully that comment was him fluttering his eyelashes.
If LvG does want Vidal (and/or Alexis) I hope we do everything in our power to get them.
I havent engaged muppet mode this summer yet (not since Thiago/Cesc/Herrera last summer) and this might just be the thread where I pitch my tent

Whatever his price was, its gone up since the World Cup started!
Probably. Even more so Sanchez'. Don't care. If we really have a warchest we should go full out in force and try to sign those 2. Would solve a lot of problems for us.
Its why we should have done our business before the WC. If they do poorly, it means little anyway, if they do well the price and the competition to sign them goes up
When you see LVG putting his arm around Vidal and having a chat while leaving the pitch after the Chile Holland game, you'll be well and truly pitched!The good thing is that I imagine LvG has scouted them and watched videos of them lots as they were in the same WC group.

Back to exciting attacking football from the likes of Holland and France. Spain make sure you take good care of Koke for us on the flight back, ta.
The thing is both teams can rest their best players in that game now so Vidal/Alexis etc might not even play.
It said so when he was getting subbed off. No idea how correct it is, mind you.
True, although they don't strike me as the sort of team to go at the game with that attitude.
I suppose momentum could be important but it is a rare golden opportunity to rest key players before the knockouts.
They'll want to top the group.
Better point than mine! Yea they'll be wanting to avoid Brazil.
The LVG Vidal hug is still on
I'd be inclined to agree with that as it would mean our long standing cm and winger issues would be sorted for years.
Which is far and away the most important thing in all of this!
Hug hug hug- Status
