I can't either, they are well stocked in midfield. If he really said he doesn't know if he will stay in Juve then thats encouraging for us. He is obviously open for a move.

Vidal would add bit to the Modric/Kroos Partnership. Could replace Khedira, and Alonso sits on the bench
 
How many times do we have to have a top player flutter his eyelashes in our direction only to go elsewhere/sign a big deal?

I was swept up in this, 90% sure Vidal was coming. Now I believe it as likely as signing Kroos was.
 
How much have they spent this summer? They missed out on Iturbe didn't they, maybe there is something in the Nani swap rumour

About £25m including co-owned players they've bought 50% of. They've made £17m-ish on fees but including getting Quagliarella & Vucinic's wages off the bill they're probably breaking even as they'll have saved a few £m on them.
 
This is the same madrid that bid £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo just days after the club paid £56m for Kaka.
Let's just hope they spunk it all on James Rodriguez instead!

I honestly cannot see them wanting Vidal though Vidal-Modric-Kroos may just be one of the best midfields of all time on paper.
I think if Vidal does go (and all signs point towards that), he would come to us IMO.

LVG's statements about "wanting to assess the players for a month" before buying new players is concerning but maybe thats a smokescreen.

So in truth they don't really need to sell then.
 
Vidal should stop talking. If I were a Juve fan I wouldn't be happy at all.

This. The first interview was fair enough when he said he's just enjoying his holiday but since then he's come out twice (I think) saying he'll remain calm if a possible United deal falls through and that he's aware of United and Madrid interest. Pretty disrespectful to Juve. Not that it bothers me but surely the professional thing to do would just be tight lipped and tell the media he's happy at Juventus.

Unless he is engineering a new contract
 
Vidal iz talking to the press way too much for a player who's intending to stay on at Juventus.. and it couldn't be for a new contract because he signed a new last October i think? Or was that only Pogba?

There's something in the works..

He also said to the press, he preference was to stay at Juve in one of the interviews.

He has mentioned even more times that he's uncertain about the future and mentioned United more than once.. Not something a player intending to stay would do.

I agree there is something there, but if he was wanting to move, surely after he said it once or twice his agent would have told him to shut up. Especially if WE were actually in for him and were putting a deal in place. Its not really the way we operate, anyway maybe I am just hyper skeptical.

Before he signed his contact in October, he was flirting with the idea of playing for Real Madrid in a few interviews, he has form.
