The only thing that can make up for not getting Vidal is if we are getting Di Maria this summer and Marco Reus the next.

Just paper talk if we were even interested.

LvG called him a special player (along with Vidal) and considering he likes special players I think we can assume we were interested.
 
So an offer will come but from witch club? United or someone else? I've not invested much time in this as I don't believe we're even after Vidal, for whatever daft reason. One the other end we should've just denied interest publicly if we're not with all the noise coming from Italy and Chile.

We all have our 'ITK' crush, I am sure some will agree that this fella is most of the time spot on with his info. Although he is not tweeting anything new but just confirming what we read all day through different sources. I wonder if juve are playing this 'if player wants to leave' card so they don't have to pay his remaining contract or however it works, I think if Vidal ask to leave he will lose his loyalty bonus etc, No ?

I remember the Juve fans basically saying what this guy says, goes. He tweeted a while back that we were in for him, but since then has deleted that tweet. The Juve fans accepted Vidal was a goner with that one tweet.
 
"LVG: No rush to buy players, I buy players that fit my system" Authough I like that mentality that there is zero point buying a #10, if you dont need one I fear it will become the excuse ala "No value in the market"

Look, Sky are totally right. Whenever they report a deal it always, always actually happens.

Who cares if others report it before them? That's fair enough...the journos got it right. My point is that this time I'm not convinced by the journos as Sky haven't spoken yet.

Trust me, I'm pretty sure if Sky broke a story tonight, the same as the Mail or Sky Italia or Chilean newspapers have in the past that Vidal is a ''done deal'', all the scepticism in this thread about the possibility of the transfer would vanish. We'd pretty much accept it has happened.

Yeah, they report it's done9ne when it's actually done. So if they said it was actually done then I'd believe it was actually done, because it would be reported everywhere that it's actually done by then.

If they report "Sky Sources believe Manchester United are in talks to sign Jimmy Hoffa", then it's no more reliable than anyone else.

It totally is.
 
For those suggesting that we haven't confirmed our interest in him, have we ever confirmed our interest in a player?

(Last year doesn't count or exist.)
 
I have nothing to contribute to this thread. Every single possibility regarding Vidal has been mentioned.

Just out of curiousity though, has this surpassed the Sneijder 2011 saga?
 
I think Van Gaal coming out saying he's not going to buy for the sake of buying, is his way of telling us that he doesn't want Vidal.

I've been suggesting that is the route we will take for a few weeks now.

Similar to Mata deal? We used a second party to submit the bid and denied any bid took place.

Herrera we just paid the buyout.
 
How is this for some indisputable logic:
  1. There is no reason for Vidal's agent to be in Turin other than to talk about Vidal's future with Marotta. Di Marzio has confirmed this is why he's there, which is as good as fact as we're going to get.
  2. His agent also wouldn't be there unless Vidal wanted to leave.
  3. Marotta has said he will only sell Vidal if he asks to go, which he will if points 1 and 2 are correct.
  4. He will also only let him leave for the right price. Woodward meanwhile has said we have the money to break the transfer record if required, that LVG has no budget, and to 'watch this space' re transfers.
Throw number 5 in there if you fancy - Rumours emerge at the same time that LVG is trying to offload Fellaini.

This is as good as done. Cya next week Arturo. Hope the flight to Manchester is smooth

Unless the agent is there to negotiate better terms for Vidal at Juve...

Really isn't - they're so scared of not being factual news that they only report on things that other people are reporting (sky sources line) or club confirmed deals (Sky breaking news!)

Or he's doing his best to calm things after Woody raised the price of every target we have by waving our balance sheet around like a dog with two dicks.
