La Tercera article does sound promising. Says talks between #MUFC, Vidal’s agent & Juventus are advancing + 1st signs of an understanding.
 
The papers don't have a clue, but the fact Juve don't come out and completely quash the speculation is a very good sign... hopefully for us and not some other club swooping in and getting him.

Until Juve come out with a definitive 'feck off' statement, there's definitely legs to Vidal being available for the right price.
 
Theres a real dearth of top centre backs around at the minute. I think with LVG as opposed to Moyes and Rio/Vida gone our centre backs could come into their own.

True that. Anyone who's watched the World Cup will realise the standard of defending right now among every top nation bar Germany is absolutely appalling.
 
There's alot of average players at the club & many have moved on, or retired too:

Vida - gone to Inter
Rio - gone, & to QPR most likely
Evra - could be off to Juve
Giggsy - retired
Young - useless & needs to leave the club
Nani - useless & needs to leave the club
Cleverely - not good enough & should be sold
Fellaini - long-ball target man & not United quality

Hernandez - not good enough
Smalling - not United quality
Anderson - such a waste of talent & needs to be sold

Thats alot of players that are either: gone, going or so shite that they should be gone..

Jesus mate would we have any players left if you were in charge ;), thats a harsh list i agree we could maybe do with replacing all the bolded ones but every squad needs squad players. Never yet seen a squad with 22 world class players.

On Hernandez if he isn't good enough to be our 3rd choice striker then i don't know who is. So far hasn't minded being a back up and guarantees you 10-20 goals a season. If he leaves he will be very hard to replace, very few strikers of his quality who would be happy to be a backup.

Maybe so, but neither are / ever will be, Vida & Rio replacements & that should be a priority aswell as CM..

Again very harsh on smalling mate, if smalling is on your list you may as well stick Jones on there too as hes not as good.

Having said that both players along with Evans are underrated by a lot of United fans. I reckon this is because as you say they won't ever be as good as Rio/Vidic. But who is? How many defenders in the world right now are as good as those two were in their pomp. Silva at PSG is the only one that is in the same league and i still don't think hes as good as Rio was. Hummels has the potential to be as good also but getting either of those players here would be very difficult, would cost an absolute fortune if it were even possible.

The talks will be “fine-tuned” in the coming days, paving the way for King Arturo to England i.e. #MUFC.
 
Okay, so Vidal seems to have reappeared on the scene... Isn't Evra due to sign for Juventus on Monday, perhaps they're waiting for us to finalise the Vidal deal too. :drool:
 

Reports in Chile now suggesting that Vidal talks are gathering pace. As I stated all along talks HAVE been taking place despite some denials

Do you reckon we're actually negotiating in Italian or Woody is just sat there throwing random numbers at them?
 
I've always thought you wouldn't get Vidal, but now I'm starting to think it might happen. Now don't let the deal slip through your grasp.
 
Agreed with all except the LB. If you're targetting a reserve full back I'd say that a RB is much more important for youse.

Valencia Jones Smalling all can cover with Evra leaving looks like we only have an 18 year old in his first season at United! I can see your point though...
 
This ain't happening! At least thats what I keep telling myself and I'm not usually pessimistic when it comes to United.
 
You aren't doing this to me guys, I'm not believing this nope, this is too good to be true.
 
The Evra deal now has been held up a couple of days after all being reported it to be close/done etc.

Maybe we are taking that time to negotiate on Vidal now.

But i'd be surprised if Juventus sell for 32 million and quietly to us. That makes little sense from their perspective.
 
Refuse to get my hopes up.
Bullshit, you know you're as drawn in as the rest of us muppets.

I'm so fecking excited, Vidal & Di Maria would be fecking incredible. I know there is a very good chance neither will come off but surely hoping for one of them isn't too silly?
 

If you want background on La Tercera, they’re one of the most influential papers in Chile. Doesn’t mean they get their sport stuff right.
