@RedSky so it isn't 20.5m then. So, are Juve that hard up that they need to sell Vidal for 13m? I understand your point about their new stadium, but I'm sure with that in mind Juve would have a transfer budget of more than 13m, no?

There is no way in hell that Juventus will be selling Vidal for £13m.
 
Again, like the other week it's just another day of BS sources. The same sources who 10 days ago said it was a done deal are now saying we are putting in bids??

I expected to come on today and start to see Sky Sports say ''United in Vidal talks'' or something, some of you actually thinking it will be confirmed today is madness.

Really? Everyone is certain that is exactly what has happened. Part of the deal and Woodward saving money or something.

We pay wages that only 4 or 5 clubs in the world can afford and 3 of them are oil clubs. I'm sure we can easily attract players without UCL.

I'm not talking about the champions league. I'm talking about United's past where for one reason or another they haven't landed a target due to a refusal to bite the bullet and do what's financially required to get the deal done.

Brilliant :lol:. You know when we are going too far muppet mode when we are using magic balls to see if he will sign.

Ah, my apologies. I believe they are making a loss every year. If they continue at this rate, they will go bankrupt. It is not a case of worrying about a transfer budget, it is a case of worrying about having a budget at all. It's hard to say for certain just how bad the situation is, though. Personally, I'm not clued in enough to know the finer details, just that they are making notable losses and they will need to bring money in one way or another.

You can't really compare that now though, Gill and Fergie have gone and it's Woodward and Van Gaal. So far we have spent freely on Mata, Shaw and Herrera.

It's nothing, it's checking his knee. He was rushed into the Chile WC squad after a knee injury and operation. He came off several times during the WC cause of his knee. They are just checking it.
 
Right, I've had enough of our dithering. I'm going to write to the club demanding we pull our fingers out and sign Vidal, or I'm cancelling my season ticket.

I don't have a season ticket.

They're after more signings as i've already pointed out. This isn't the end of them spending. Just checked his wiki page:

On 9 July 2013, Juventus F.C. officially bought half of the registration rights of Zaza for €1 million from Sampdoria. Co-currently Sassuolo bought another half of the registration rights from Sampdoria for €2.5 million[4](€1.25 million cash plus Gianluca Sansone). Sassuolo had the actual use of Zaza for 2013–14 Serie A season. On 1 September 2013, he scored their first-ever Serie A goal, as the team lost 4-1 to Livorno.[5] On 20 June 2014 Sassuolo bought Zaza outright from Juventus for €7.5 million.

That's properly dodgy... anyway. So add another 7.5m onto the money coming in.

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".

For us. The doc who gave Vidal's knee a once-over has faxed a picture of him giving the thumbs up to Woody. Now the exciting stuff can happen. Bid preparation.

Is there anything more exciting than when we prepare a bid?
 
The way I see it, United/Juve have been talking about Vidal for months. I don't even think that Evra moving to Juve would have changed anything as they would have already been in dialogue with each other. They may have wanted the deal done & announced shortly after Evra but Juve, especially after losing Conte, wouldn't want to cause anymore more upset with their fans by announcing the transfer of possibly their best player to United so soon after Conte left.
Now that he is back from his holi-bobs, the ball will get rolling, deal with be done, personal terms/medical done, deal announced within the next fortnight.
 
:DSo literally nothing has happened while I've been away..... I'm waiting for the 'happy at juventus' tweet! It will be coming in a few hours! Until then let's burn some bull thighs in an animal sacrifice to the gods!

Beautiful :lol:
 
I taught the speculation would end when Vidal said he is not coming to Manchester United. I hope this will not be like Fabregas last summer and we spent the whole summer chasing him, then ended up with some mediocre backup (in this case, Nigel De Jong or leon Osman). I am still waiting for a Vidal interview with his club which he states, he never taught of coming to United.(A dagger to the heart of many muppet that will take some time to recover)

William Carvalho despite his high price tag is a quality targets we could aquire this summer if we pay his buy out clause. He would also complement Herrera moreso than Vidal and make Herrera a much better player. Although, I would prefer Strootman but Rudi Garcia has no plans to sell him at the moment.

I can totally see Vidal, who had denied to comment on his future all holiday... to then say at an airport on his way to the plane via baggage that he was defiantly not going to Manchester United. Context, that comment was a throw away to get the nob to stop chasing him, through a freaking airport! :lol:

Vidals a professional, he'll do his business face to face with Juve. Not in the media.

Where do you teach? Sounds fascinating.

And :lol:
 
We're not going to hear anything today are we?

fecking WUM tweets do my head in
 
I think this will be the week.

Where Vidal confirms his staying at Juventus. we
 
If there is an offer on the table and Juve accept it but Vidal decides to stay, fair play to him. Nowadays there are too many players willing to leave their clubs for money. I would be gutted if he did decide to stay but respect his decision.

I'd never leave one employer to double my wages with another!! No sir, no way!!:rolleyes:
 
What time is the Allegri press conference?
 
Of all these threads that I have followed, there was only the Berbatov one that didn't have me depressed at the end of it. However, after watching him in a Unitd shirt for a few months, that soon changed.
