Thats crazy. Best case we get a midfielder and a defender, worst case we get none.
Probably. Both teams will get desperate as the window draws to a close. Just look at deadline day, its batshit mental.
Juventus can say they don't want to sell Vidal all they want, but throughout the summer it's been Italian media, mostly those linked with Juve, have been reporting on Vidal coming to us. English media have pretty much been saying we're not interested till the last week or so.
We could use 3 for all i care, but we can't afford both i think.
Well we aren't going to spend £24M on Carvalho and £40M on Vidal or whatever, given our outlay this summer anyway.
We need both, we'll actually only get one though.
Most importantly, Vidal had 5 interviews and thus 5 chances to nip the rumour in the butt. But he didn't, he wants to move.
With the Di Maria thing, I think we can assume our stance is to always say 'not interested' until we see we actually are making progress in getting the player.
No, we don't need both!
€10m for a loan move sounds good.
Hey, that's a decent price for a loan. Are we getting good at this?
Surely if we want Vidal then we can throw Chickarito in the deal?
We'll have to make an offer they can't refuse and Vidal ask for a transfer.
I think that's exactly what's going on.
We'll be lucky to get either in my opinion man; regardless of us needing the ilk of both..
Would be great to see Eto'o form a solid defensive duo with Jagielka.
Actually that's the very reason I think we might actually do it. Because let's be honest, none of us thought the club would spend this much this summer.
To me that's been the strongest indicator that the rumours aren't nonsense as some have tried to imply. He could easily have done a Cesc and put the matter to bed. He opted not to.
A bit OCD but I hating seeing strikers with those sort of numbers. Almost as annoying as seeing Gallas with #10 at Arsenal.
I can see us signing one, but not two. A combined fee of £64M for example would see us just fall short of £200M in expenditure. We clearly have money, but I still think there's a limit.
Agree with that, but would be delighted with a CM squad of Carrick, Fletch, Herrera, Vidal & Carvalho, with Pereira involved also..
It says alot, that we cant get rid of the deadwood & generate cash for transfers, and also that we tend to sell for peanuts anyway - Evra's transfer to Juve being a typical example.
To be fair, Evra is 33 and had a year left on his contract.
No I dont think we do. We are not so weak in that apartment that we need two. One great one like Vidal would help us a lot.
Pretty sure we can use the interest in Chicharito to help secure Vidal. Bit worrying that there's already reports Juve have rejected our offer, hopefully we don't give up on this deal.
If we want to change to a 4-3-3 then Juan Cuadrado woruld be a good signing. If we weren't going to play a 4-3-3 until Di Maria arrived, what happens if Di Maria gets injured? Are we going to change back to a 3-5-2 for a few games? We need more quality wingers.
The player himself has hinted that he might play centrally, so I don't think the transition to a 4-3-3 is a sure thing.
Personally I'd like to see di Maria on the left of a diamond used in a similar capacity to when he was at Madrid and had the freedom to roam left.

God I want this to happen.. I'd gladly chuck 40m + Hernandez at Juve!
Great deal for us no doubt - cant say the same for Juve though..
It should be exactly like that.
No playing Young or Valencia.
No playing Young or Valencia.
Hmmmm. Would rather get him off the wage bill and sold or swapped as part of a transfer. What happens if he has a stinker at Juve? We then have to take him back next year and swell an already bloated squad.
That does look good (though I prefer a more defensive CM than Vidal so we can replace Carrick instead of our 30 million man Herrera. With not much width coming from the right midfielder, though, ideally you'd like a more mobile, roaming right striker than Rooney/RvP.
They can have Powell, Kagawa, Young, Valencia and Anderson if they want too
