Give up, keep your heads in the sand.
You genuinely don't get the point of threads like this, do you?

ITS Over my friends, it was a good fight by us muppets, but reality wins!
What's your goal in repeatedly saying it's not happening, over and over?
The only reason I can see for people doing this is the hope that they can later say 'I told you so'.
Plenty of people don't think it's happening, but if you've such a problem with speculation and/or hope then simply stop opening the thread.
Only three things can end this saga:
1. We sign him
2. Vidal himself sits in a Juve presser and says he is categorically not leaving
3. The close of the window

I think when there is a positive article it's more ''OMFG cocks out lads. ArturON ''Got to love how the transfer window affects us lol...
A negative article or quote emerges:
"It's off... let the caf meltdown commence"
A positive article or quote emerges:
"He's not coming, it's all BS, load of shite, never going to happen"
Even when the player is stood there holding a United shirt... it's off :P

Isn't that what Barcelona had Fabregas do when we were repeatedly declaring interest in him and the club were repeatedly saying he wasn't for sale?What's your goal in repeatedly saying it's not happening, over and over?

There's a point to them?
Don't see the harm in people giving an opinion that we won't sign Vidal. Even if it is repetitive, it's not as though pointing out we might still sign him and the window isn't closed yet constitutes an original thought!
Jesus, you've written this 'close the thread / it's over' shit three or four times now already, we've got the message.

I'm sure i remember them having Fabregas come out on one of their tour pressers and say he's not moving to Manchester United, and he has no intention of leaving Barcelona at all that summer. The rumours quickly stopped then.
The point for people being 'positive' is the fun of the whole thing. 99% of them aren't serious about it. But what do the people repeatedly posting 'you're all idiots, he's not coming, we never sign top players' get out of it? Is it some kind of defence mechanism? Because it strikes me that they'd be happier just not opening the thread.
This point has been made so many times in threads like these and I've yet to see a reasonable answer to it.

These transfer threads epitomise the summer silly season. Not enough football to discuss so they get clogged up with endless inane speculation. Don't see the harm in making speculation that is negative as well as positive. For every "it's off" post that annoys you there's at least as many unfounded "it's on" posts.

And whereas the 'yay, ArturOn ' crowd could very easily just be left to their own devices, you can't expect people to ignore someone coming into the thread and repeatedly calling everyone else idiots. It's unnecessary and disruptive.

This. His words doesn't really matter.Well a new manager who wasn't initially received well by the fans is obviously going to say Arturo's off isn't he?
Negativity is inexpensive normally and so the cheapskates buy into it. They are the type that buy cheap, own brand lager, take it to a party and drink the Stella and Becks belonging to their happy, cheerful positive mates.
