Arturo Vidal

Unfortunately I could really really see him going to City. It's almost perfect for them, it would be the most stunning piece of transfer stealing we've ever seen. Imagine all of us primed when the text goes up Sky sports: stand by for incredible Vidal news"

Twitter goes nuts, United fans start flapping then it happens, the bombshell Man City: "we are delighted to announce the signing of Arturo Vidal on a four year deal #Manchesterisblue"

I think I'd simply, silently walk out to my stair case, and perform a face dive off the top.

Please do it soon. Also, ask someone to record and send video to caf when you do it.
 
They've signed 4 central midfielders this window already for a combined fee of 20m euros. 2 of which have been added since Conte left (they haven't sold any CM's). They now have 9 CM's. They're wanting to sign some big name players but have already spent 40m (with 20m recouped in sales). For a club who's not in the best financial position at the moment, they can't afford to spend massively unless they recoup some through sales.

I'm sure Juventus would accept the 50-60m euro offer (which we have apparently made). It'll all boil down to whether Vidal wants to leave, if he doesn't mind leaving for what will probably be double his current salary, then I can't see there being any genuine issues and I imagine the transfer will happen fast to allow Juventus to go after more signings.

If City sign him it will be all over sky sports news. "BREAKING: Heartbroken man clutching picture of Arturo Vidal with the words "why?!" scribbled on it in what appears to be red crayon leaps to death from stairs, video to follow...."
 
Wasn't that the summer after we released him when he posted videos on youtube to prove his fitness to teams to sign him?

Yeah it was fecking embarrassing but it worked as Citeh signed him up and he managed to play about 58 minutes for them.

I have no idea but damn if that the case then he's a little desperate to do something like that whilst wearing white Lycra shorts!
 
As much as we all love Chich we have always known he'll leave one day for first team football and no one will argue with that as its entirely understandable from his point of view. Using him in a deal to sign Vidal would be a great move for each team. Surely he's worth at least €20 million. Chich + €35 million (£27.7 m) would be some bargain for us! :drool:
 
What are the thoughts/feelings of the Juve fans in their forum? Are they resigned to losing Vidal or are they a bit more upbeat about him staying?

They are too embarrassed to discuss it openly so have taken that topic to a hidden forum within site.
 


Mate. This is what I do, so don't try to correct me! Zaza was sold last season ffs!

*Values in Euros

Immobile - 8m
Vucinic - 6.3m
Peluso - 4.5m
Quagliarella - 3.5m
Zaza - 7.5m (dodgy signing of all time)

Total: 29.8m

Morata - 20m
Sturaro - 5.5m
Marrone - 5m
Evra - 1.5m :(
Pasquato - 1.5m
Pereya - 1.5m (loan fee)
Sorensen - 0.8m

Romulo - 7m (expected to be done shortly)

Total: 42.8m

David Amoyal (whoever he is) is clueless.

Pretty solid maths there Redsky! I'm appreciating the hell out of those numbers!

Gotta admit, i can actually see this happening. Along with us all celebrating as "Manchester" scrolls across the screen, followed by "C...", where we all break down and cry.

:lol: There is noway back for you mate. I hope you are right though.
 
This guy is not coming

Will be another chase that amounts to nothing.

Not sure who we will get but it won't be this guy
 
Trying to correct me using some numpty on twitter. Jeez Summit, that's proper low! :p
With the maths you have just pointed out, it would leave Juve in the red by 20.5m. Are you saying they now need to sell Vidal to cover that 20.5m? Are they that hard up?

And that's that then.

For the 89th time in this thread, someone has spoken.
 
Pretty sure we'll get the "I stay" line today. Then Juventus releasing a statement saying he isn't being sold.

Either Vidal will stay or it's just part of the game, throwing the ball back in United's court to up the bid (if we bid).

They've built a new stadium. They're in a similar position financially as Arsenal were a few seasons back. They could probably afford the 20m in the red, but they're trying to sign more players to enhance their first team (expensive ones at that). So if they do want to strengthen much more, then they'll need to sell imo. It's therefore wise for them to sell Vidal for 60m euro's if it then finances moves for 3 further quality first teamers. There's talk of them bidding for some of the PSG players when the Di Maria deal is confirmed.

If we're in at all don't think we'll hear any confirmations today since this has clearly been on hold while he's been sunning himself. If we're in at all today is when the real talks just begin.
I hate to sound like a sweaty feminist but I really do hate MEN.
Everyone on the internet is a sweaty feminist these days, its how to be cool.
 
Great craic here today fellas! I'm off to wear some budgie smugglers! Hopefully something has actually happened when I return!
 
Thanks for letting us know. Right, let's close the thread and move elsewhere.

They really are the most annoying posts.

For a start most of us are clearly just pissing about while holding on to a faint hope and then these nosh bags come in and try to act like the voice of reason as if they know better than everyone else.

So yeah, it's still very much on despite Viva telling us otherwise.

You fecking what mate?
 
Monday, July 28th, 2014, A.D.

Woodward arrives into Turin, kitted out in black leather and Gucci sunglasses, with a massive golden chalice he's drinking vintage classic wine from. He smirks as the camera pans in on his tanned, gloriously smooth face, knowing that he's about to rip the f*ck up of this feeble little town. He jumps in his pink Bentley driven by Dappy/Jaybezia, "alright mate, take me to Vidal." "Vidal? Sir I'm not sure where he ..." "just fecking drive, I'll show you where to go."

He didn't know where to go, they arrived four days later, but Woody still looked immaculate. Dappy was dead from exhaustion, Woody didn't care, he knew he was a necessary sacrifice. He strolled into the Juve offices, demanding to see Marotta. Supposedly Marotta had been locked in his room with a big giant c*nt of a shotgun, waiting. "STAY BACK ED!", he shouted.

Woody laughed, took out a cigar and lit it. "Open the door, Beppe, it's time". "You're not taking him Ed, I told you, you can't have him, I'll f*cking shoot you Eddie, I will". "No mate, you won't." Ed fecks the cigar on the ground, a huge explosion occurs (where the hell did the fuel come from? - the Juve staff wonder). The door explodes open, Marotta huddled in the corner in fetal position, burning. "OK, OK Ed, you win, just ... just take him". Marotta dies.

A hidden door unravels, Vidal steps out, kitted in a Utd kit. Confetti and fireworks are raining behind him. "I'm ready, Ed, let's go".
