I don't see how that's an answer to anything in my post. There's no speculation there.
Arturo Vidal

I'd have said that now only is now the best time to sell value wise, but because of our situation, we'll be the best buyer they'll get in the foreseeable future. Woodward needing to prove himself, us wanting to bounce back from a 7th place finish, etc etc
A 21-year old student in journalism, but also a maniac of anything related to South American football. He writes in Metro at times and has his own blog.
Not on your part, no.
His twitter bio states he's a sports journalism student; Latin American football aficionado.
Please quote the wording from Tweets for those who do not have access to Twitter.
This should be a general rule as not all countries allow social media so the forum would become frustrating.
That front page... can we swoop in for Aranguiz at the same time?
$20m... that's like £11m. Daylight robbery.He works for, or is in some way, involved with Sport Witness. Plus he speaks Spanish and translates a lot of Vidal/United related foreign articles.
As far as those tweets go it doesn't really matter who he is anyway, as long as the translation from the original article is correct. The reliability of the Chilean paper is questionable by the sounds of things. I'm sure they've said this meeting is going to take place the past 2 days.
Posting tweets relating to the Vidal transfer makes me an idiot??? Who said that just because I am posting them, I am believing in what is being said? I'm posting it so you guys can see it and decide for yourselves if you choose to believe it or not. Start a debate, if you will. This is a forum is it not?
Thiago Alcantara.
Coleen doesn't allow Twitter in her womb?
Is this agent of Vidal on the same plane as Woodward...as this meeting is taking an age to be done and this offer he will present to Juve, shouldn't this be coming from United?
And then there are guys like me trapped at work who have these social networking sites blocked. The twitter add in is a nice feature but any time there is a new tweet and people get excited, I have to open the caf from my phone to see what is happening.
Indeed.
No one wants to read obvious shit from Agent Edward and Indykaila though. There's a blacklist on the first page of the Twitter Discussion thread that might as well apply to every other thread.

I liked the look of him in the WC but I wonder if he was just playing out of his skin since there doesn't seem much interest in him.
I've only seen him twice before the WC (once in 2010, once in February 2014), but he was similarly impressive both times. I just think he's going under the radar. Only the Italian sides ever seem to show much attention to South American players like him, and then everyone else ends up paying them ridiculous amounts when those players turn into the likes of Sanchez, Vidal etc.
Don't post tweets from known bullshitters.
I think the idea is that United aren't dealing directly with Juve, but using intermediaries, like with the Mata deal. IF anything at all is happening, of course.
it was from 3 days ago. From a a guy Called Agent Ed FFS
So what you're saying is it's reliable?
Do you know how boring you are?
Agree, this is so called offer coming from his agent smells like a contract extension/pay rise meeting, but i guess we will wait and see how this develops.
He's only just had an extension and pay rise. Pretty unusual to get another in such quick succession. Not sure Juve could afford it anyway.
He's right. Every day this El Mercurio pumps out a "Vidal almost signed by United" story, and every day they get loads of clicks. It's almost as if they are coming up with these stories on purpose...
El Mercurio stories seems to be the only oxygen that is keeping this thread alive.
We had a La Tercera (spell) report too yesterday, and Tuttosport + GdS reporting on it again today.
You're missing my point! Regardless of if it's from 3 days ago or 3 months ago. The point I was making is that I posted it to bring about a discussion, not to be vindicated. If you believe it to be a bullshit source, fine, you believe that but don't start having a go at the person who posts to this forum.
If that is the case and if the reports of a meeting between agent & juve can only be about a possible transfer, unless it was about his knee or some other contract talks.
Just baffling we were once leaking everything and now the italian and chilean appear to be getting info, possibly from the player/agent.
I think Isla shares the same agent and he is most definitely on the move. So even if the agent does have the meeting with whoever is in charge of transfers at Juventus, there is no guarantee that Vidal will be the topic of discussion.

There's not debate about it though, it's a bullshit source.
This is the vidal transfer thread. Nobody wants or cares about old news. In fact old news annoys most people
Its also one of the most active current threads on the forum, so you really do not need to try to add shitty tweets for debate or to bring about discussion.
As you can see, I'm afraid the only debate it's going to bring about is whether you should be banned for thinking it's worth posting Agent Edward's tweets.
Fernando Felicevich also acts for Gary Medel who is supposed to be in talks with Inter. Busy guy at the minute around Italy.
So we should start a debate based on nonsense? OK mate understood.
Sigh. I just want this over with one way or the other to be honest. Honestly if Vidal comes out and says that he is staying at Juventus, I'd be disappointed, sure, but also a bit relieved that this saga is over. First it was the world cup, then the holidays, then Conte's firing, Vidal's meeting with Allegri and now his agent supposedly presenting our offer. Just want this to be over with.
This is what happens though, transfers take a while to complete! It's just the hype around this transfer means that every man and his dog wants to comment on it. You think how long it took Costa to become an official Chelsea player despite the bid being agreed very early in the Summer.
It's amazing how the journos re-invent the idea of Vidal being just-about-to-sign everyday for weeks.
Most of the top articles on NewsNow are about Vidal. We fans do it to ourselves by clicking on them, so they write more of them for us to click again.

Discussion about a fake twitter agent spreading fake news for apparently finding out if people have the prudence to figure out whether its fake or not. You can't dispute logic like that.
Just a little more on the agent Fernando Felicevich I'm not sure its been posted before but UTD already have a relationship with the guy as he is Angelo Henriquez agent also (hence why he may well be acting on behalf of us)
