Funnily enough, I've just realised how long it is since the transfer window opened on 1st June.

We've been waiting on this one for exactly...

Same guy who said we were close to signing De Vrij - he's just another clueless journo. Wouldn't believe a workd of that.

De Vrij said we weren't even interested never mind close to signing him.

Bah. BBC have "Vidal signs Man United contract - report" as one of the summary headlines on the Sportsday Live feed, but it's relating to an Italian newspaper. They don't normally swing gossip like that. Knobs.

They've been doing that for the last couple of weeks. Proper WUM knob heads.

Vidal has told teammates he wants Manchester United transfer

Turin newspaper La Stampa are it again. Just under a week after they said Fernando Felicevich was trying to sort out a Manchester United move, which they say Arturo Vidal wants... they've now added an update.

La Stampa claim that Vidal has told some of his Chile national teammates that he wants a move to Manchester United. Some other teammates, say La Stampa, aren't so sure. The newspaper have been sure to cover every possible scenario. Again.

Of course, if Vidal has been telling his teammates he wants a move to Manchester United then that's great for fans of the Old Trafford club who want the player to arrive this summer. However, La Stampa reiterate that no official bid has been made by Manchester United yet and if it does arrive, and is enough, then Vidal will have to tell his club that he wants the transfer to happen.

It's claimed that Vidal will have to choose whether he wants to follow the 'romantic' ideal of staying at Juventus and choose honour, or plump for the money instead. That's a bit lofty from La Stampa, but they are based in Turin so will have a significant amount of bias.

The article is largely the same song and dance that has been going on for some time, aside from the teammate claim. It has to be wondered where La Stampa got that from and though it would be completely wrong of us to point any fingers with certainty, it's too tempting to avoid speculating.

Mauricio Isla will have been speaking to some Turin press recently regarding his move from Juventus to QPR, and he was of course in Chile's World Cup squad. Another 'suspect' could be Gary Medel, recently moved to Inter Milan. Then again, La Stampa could have heard it secondhand.

La Stampa also say that a wages offer of €12m has led 'King Arthur' seriously pondering a move to British soil. There's more talk of Vidal's agent Fernando Felicevich meeting Juventus' great and good but if only half of the claims in the Italian media regarding Felicevich are correct then he may as well move in to the Turin club's offices.

Transfer fee talk is brought up again and La Stampa say Beppe Marotta, Juve's big cheese, wants €50m. That's despite the same newspaper saying less than a week ago it was €40m.

One day this will all end.

I love the fact he is so confident, when he was quoted as saying he believes he is the best box to box midfielder in the world, that sums him up and that's why I believe he would thrive here. Knee permitting and all that!

I doubt he'll even play, I mean he's barely trained hasn't he?

Said yesterday he was a week away from training with the first team let alone playing. If we want to watch him first before bidding we are cutting it very close.
 
I don't see what we will get from waiting for him to play. He played in the World Cup closer to his op. It obviously won't stop him playing.
There is either a problem there NOW, or there isn't.
fwiw I think LVG is the type to wait for his man. That being Strootman, but I'd love to have a fit Vidal here.

Thing is, we shouldn't have to watch him to see if he can truly return. With all the technology in the world, we should be able to tell if he'll make a full recovery.

At least that's what my heart's telling me.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if a bid for Vidal has already been made etc. Wenger has just revealed that we've officially bid for Vermarlen and nobody reported it. Obviously, we may have only just bid for him a few minutes before Wenger's press conference but I still feel Vidal, along with our other transfers, are being done under the radar to avoid bidding wars, prices hike etc. LvG even confirmed that the other day by saying he won't talk about potential targets to the media to avoid price hikes. In that note, I wouldn't take anything in the media about deals being agreed, contracts signed etc. seriously until United announce it themselves.

Telling me the same. All of a sudden its the most complicated injury in world football because he came back early to play in World Cup. The rigors of playing will test the knee completely but surely like you said technology could show us if it looks a bit suspect, just like Van Nistelrooy the year before he eventually signed. ah well I'm no doctor but this waiting to see if he plays seems a bit weird especially as he played in the world cup 4 weeks ago.

When did Wenger say we have made a bid? i can't see any quotes.
 
He performed well at the World Cup considering he had a damaged knee. What else does Louis need to see? It can't be THAT bad like Hargo's was, surely?

Just sign him up and if we have to wait for his knee for even a couple of months then so be it - at least we have him at the club.

He could have further damaged his knee by playing on it when he shouldn't have been tbh. Doesn't matter if he performed well or not, if hes damaged it further then it could be a problem long term. He'll probably be fine, but you would want to make sure if you could.

Would be nice to have a king at the club, a grown player who's undoubtedly brilliant on the pitch and could inject the much needed spirit into United. Just like our other king we once had.
