Arturo Vidal

[r0x0rwolfo]

How is it bad business if he is stupidly good for United?

Yeah, I'm not sure how it really works the "option to buy for x". Is there negotiation of that fee? Can they whack the price up if he's insanely good or...?

Also, I am kind of thinking like this:

Some people are saying the price is too much, but we are not paying it yet so it's irrelevant. We should only pay the price if he proves to be worth that much in the season that he is here (stupidly [50m] good). That is taking up the 'bad deal' (as regarded as now).

What? You're not even making sense now.

Here's the original post you quoted:

Falcao = Costa

It didn't say Falcao was better than Costa. It said they were equal, which is what I said the original post said, you get it?

 

[Ramshock]

I can see a certain chelsea poster getting the old stage hook soon

 

[EricaNo7]

So are we getting him or not ?

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Why are Costa and Falcao being discussed on the Vidal thread?

This was the comment that eventually sparked it off

I will go on record and state if we get Vidal as well this window we will win the league

No there was a post by Religion I think it was that said Falcao is 100% better than Costa, that was the one I meant. The bit where I said Costa is ahead I wasnt jumping all over the other guy I was simply saying what I think is the case now. I did however jump over the 100% better one.

 

[moses]

Talksport say Vidal bid will be January.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Forgive me if I'm being naive here but he could be anywhere in the world - we'd be negotiating with his representatives wouldn't we?

You're right. And for what its worth, we don't really need hard negotiations with Vidal. Its negotiations with Juve that are the stumbling block.

I just heard this and Anderson to Burnley

Wonderful, except that wasn't the post that started the whole thing, was it? That wasn't the post that started your "Costa is better than Falcao" crap, in fact that was in response to your "Costa > Falcao" crap. He had more of a reason to retort (you saying Costa > Falcao)than you originally had to retort (saying Falcao = Costa).

Let's be honest here Rob, you got it wrong, didn't you? You mixed up the posts, be honest, it's ok.

Read my edit. I said right now Costa is ahead, fair point dont you think? I didnt say Costa has always been better or that hes miles ahead. You are the one jumping on my comments not the other way around.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

I just love this transfer window

 

[Massive Spanner]

Read my edit.

Your timeline is all wrong though if you really believe you're actually countering me here.

Anyway, enough, this isn't the Falcao v Costa thread. But you need to stop jumping on every little inconspicuous thing said regarding any Chelsea player on here and turning it into some battle. Savings Falcao = Costa was pretty harmless yet you jumped on that and you started saying Costa > Falcao, which then sparked the reactions from Utd supporters.

Why are Costa and Falcao being discussed on the Vidal thread?

Presumably people are so eager to get this thread over the 650 page barrier that they are resorting to discussing entirely unrelated subjects here.

 

[2mufc0]

Get out of the Vidal thread.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Alright alright, shut up, everyone including Rob knows he was wrong, so it's grand now.

Stick to Vidal please, otherwise I'll hand out warnings.

 

[Pexbo]

Any chance we can move this argument at least to the Falcao thread?

 

[thejtrain]

I still think we'd have had him had we bid for him early, say around Aug 15, giving Juve enough time to replace him. Now it's become impossible they'll let their best player leave on the deadline day without a decent replacement in place.

We want 666

 

[Mali_Zeus]

So is he coming?

 

[Michael T]

I was still kind of hoping the Vidal transfer would actually materialize, but I think we would have had a sniff of something concrete this late into transfer deadline day. Bummer!

 

[Turnip]

So we've established that Falcao =/= Costa but neither are better, but where does this leave Vidal? Some places seem to be saying he's staying put, some that we're preparing a last minute bid. So basically the same position we were in like 2 months ago.

I guess once Herrera is back and Blind is in we actually have a solid midfield now if nothing else, so if Vidal is a January target now it should still work out well. Can't wait to spend the whole of January on this roller coaster once more.

That said, there's 7 hours yet. Get typing Woody.

 

[Devil may care]

Given how fast the Falcao deal happened I haven't given up all hope of Vidal, but if not I'd be happy with Schniederlin or Moutinho to carry us through until the inevitable attempt to buy Strootman.

 

[RedorDead21]

No mention of debts so far today.....is the green and gold army dead?

Damn, thought I was in the Vidal thread, not the Glazer apparatchiks love-in thread.

 

[Sir A1ex]

Anyway, back on track... this thread is slipping badly on the homepage, it's making me nervous.

It's getting towards the time of day when we coudl really do with starting to hear some rumours... come on Ed, don't let us down now, we've come so far together!

 

[Paul the Wolf]

The doom merchants have gone amazingly quiet

 

[gasmanc]

Television?

he might even have sky plussed it

 

[RedorDead21]

Thats just about sums up football fans. No one gives a feck if we blow another 100m in the coming hours...when thats not true...most would rejoice.

 

[Sir A1ex]

The doom merchants have gone amazingly quiet

Maybe they're board of patronising people who seem unable to stop misunderstanding the whole problem with the Glazers' ownership? Anyway, wrong thread.

 

[marukomu]

I just heard this and Anderson to Burnley

All those meat pies.

 

[manufanatic]

Why are Costa and Falcao being discussed on the Vidal thread?

To get to 650 pages c'monc'mon

 

[MiamiSpartan]

IF we signed Vidal and Falcao becomes permanent, would Copa America be a concern?

Vidal/Falcao/Di Maria/Rojo.

Copa America has never really affected United, but would with all these players.

Adding to that, in addition to the regularly scheduled 2015 Copa America, there will be a special 100 year anniversary "Centenario" Copa America in 2016. So that's three straight summers with a major tournament for those countries (unless they all send their B teams in 2016, which is certainly possible).

 

[gasmanc]

Talksport say Vidal bid will be January.

Makes senses, assess that knee fully.

I just heard this and Anderson to Burnley

This just makes sense.

Vidal and Strootman in the January window and we should be set to push into the top spots.

 

[Paul the Wolf]

I think the misunderstanding is their misunderstanding, but yes wrong thread

 

[Fortitude]

I refreshed this tab from three hours ago and saw 20 new pages... leading me to think something had happened.

 

[7even]

We will not buy Vidal in this window, makes no sense after we bought Blind/Herrera/DeMaria.

 

[londonredmaniac]

I think the misunderstanding is their misunderstanding, but yes wrong thread

The misunderstanding is that green and gold represented simply transfer fees and trophies...

 

[Sir A1ex]

The misunderstanding is that green and gold represented simply transfer fees and trophies...

Exactly, but given that there's been a million posts pointing this out, I doubt the Vidal thread is the place where Glazer fans will suddenly work it out. Though it does push the post count up, so what the hey!

 

[Paul the Wolf]

The misunderstanding is that green and gold represented simply transfer fees and trophies...

Wasn't referring to any particular "campaign" just fed up with the moaners and "fans" who continually criticize and run the club and players down. All I want is the club to keep winning and the fans to support them through good times and bad (and the club never to be owned by an oil sheikh)
