I would of kept Rio to be honest. He still has a lot to give imo and he would of been a good back up while also being a big character in the squad.

No, that's what the last season gone was.
100% the right time to leave.
 
Why is everyone saying Vidal transfer is dead? I think we should wait till LVG or club reps say we aren't in for him.

Keep the faith, it's ArturON until then
 
Desperate times call for:

Manchester United look favourites to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels for €25m. (Express)

A Daily Express tweet. At least I found one!
 
Good thing is that what LvG said today might kill the bollocks on twitter. People like IndyKaila might be less inclined to make up shit for a couple of weeks now it's been said publicly we won't be looking to do anything until the manager gets time to assess his players, even if it isn't true.
 
Having seen the interview, I also think this 3-4 week comment was to make sure the players on tour give it their all - not think well more players are on the way, why should we could be out etc.

Would have started the tour on a downer.

For all the players it's like a new start, forget the past, they should be saying- let me show the manager what I can do and I have as much chance as anyone to be part of his plans

It doesn't matter what the likes of Indykalia say anyway. His kind are still going to make up shite regardless. He claimed today that he was at the press conference but wasn't allowed to ask any questions. I can't believe there are 164k people dumb enough to follow his bile.
 
January bid then?
Strootman had a very bad injury, the kind of injury that takes away things from your game. If we're interested in him, we will see how he does for the rest of the season. He will be back to training by September but will only reach full match fitness by December or early January. We need to see if Strootman is the same player he was before his injury.

I don't think Roma would let him go for anything less than 30m and investing that kind of money blindly could be a major disappointed should this injury affect him in the long-term of his career. We must evaluate first and then act.

One thing I'm sure about, we can't wait until January to buy another midfielder.
 
Coentrao is an option that hasn't been mentioned a lot this summer. He can operate as a midfielder and LW, and he would also give us cover on LB.
If we went down that jack of all trade hybrid route, it would surely be Blind. Either way, their main position isn't CM and I seriously doubt any player who isn't an out and out center mid will be good enough to solve any problems.

Plus Coentrao seemed to be emerging as first choice LB towards the end of last season IIRC, so he won't be leaving anymore.

Coentrao is way better than Blind, though I agree he wouldn't solve the problem with CM. Still would've been a good signing I think, if he was available.

I agree he is much better as a left back. I thought you were suggesting Coentrao should be bought as a step in CM, who is also a great LB. My point was that if you're buying a player who's great in both positions, I'd go with Blind who seems to be more talented at adapting to a variety of positions, and probably more importantly, is actually gettable.
 
Until Vidal himself says he stays at Juventus I'm confident about this.
This. As I said earlier, until the club or LVG himself says we aren't in for Vidal then it's so ON.
I haven't let my muppet get this excited since sneijder in 2011. I am guns a blazin for Vidal
