Arsenal could be a serious threat with him, their only passionate player is Sanchez, if they can get Vidal to boost things up when needed, at more directness and goals to their play, they'll be a serious threat. Would be a very good signing for them.
Vidal to Arsenal?
- Thread starter glazed
- Start date
With Pogba likely to go. Tevez gone and Morata could potentially leave too. I can't see Juventus breaking up all their team.
I don't see this happening unless Pogba stays.

Would be a coup for Arsenal but I dont see how all the pieces fit together. He's like another Ramsey, maybe they could play together using the same theory the Gerrard - Lampard midfield constantly disproved, that one can cover the other when he goes forward. But even if that worked out well, where does Wilshire fit in? Cazorla? Coquelin? Bielic?
He also plays in the same areas Ozil wants to play in, albeit they have very different styles

Flamini, Arteta and Bielik aren't worth worrying about. Also come on guys, it's Arsenal, when are they all going to be fit together?
At that price he's a no-brainer for Arsenal. I reckon the London factor plus the fact that Alexis Sanchez plays there already will have played a crucial part in luring him to them. He looks exactly the sort of player they need to become title challengers, if they can get another defender and a good forward in they'll probably have the strongest team in England.
I agree, I can't see this happening unless Wilshere moves further up the pitch permanently or Cazorla leaves. I doubt we'd make a forward signing too as other players would get shuffled a little.
This. It's one of those signings that take you up a notch. Hope it doesn't happen and I'm surprised it's been rumoured given he's at juve.
Everyone's forgetting the Diaby sized hole in our roster too.
Vidal would be a great signing for them. If he is available, we should stick our noses in to see if we can wrestle in. Even if we don't win, might as well try to increase the price for Arsenal.
Kim Kallstrom - the injured player he signed on loan to cover injuries.
Got injured after a week

Pretty sure he was injured before he even got there. I think the initial prognosis was that he would be back sooner, but wasn't. I believe the payment structure was based upon the fact that he arrived injured. Perhaps not, I dunno.
Seems so cheap for a player so highly regarded by all on here over previous seasons? Not as impressive a season last year but still helped his side throughout the yr.
Probably goes to show that we weren't actually as active with him as previously rumoured.

Arsenal doesn't really need more midfielders, they have plenty of quality there:
DM: Coquelin, Arteta, Flamini
Box-to-box: Ramsey, Wilshere
AM: Carzola, Ozil, Rosicky, Chamberlin

I thought Vidal thing was one big windup? Plus, he doesn't seem like the kind of player Wenger would buy. He'd definitely add quality to their team though, squad depth and all that.
Ewar Woo War the feckin numpty twat that lets Vidal sign for Arsenal. feckin ridiculous!
the Cadena Cope story is wide of the mark, according to Sky.
Great player but we don't need an energetic box to box midfielder. We already have a superb one in Ramsey. What we need is someone who can sit deep and defend but is also a superb passer and controller of the game.
I'm fairly sure this is all bollocks. The telegraph are now reporting we've got Lacazette - for the convenient fee of 21m pounds. Wenger must've drawn a line.
They can have the drunk driving cnt
would they not be better just at least signing a top holding mid
Imagine how good they'd be if they had just signed matic

Just looking at that, it's clear they need a good defensive midfielder to challenge Coquelin. Arteta is a fading presence and Flamini is just bad.
Reminds me of a Double Dragon boss.
Can't see this being true to be honest. It would be a great signing and Juventus are a selling club (every player has a price for them). If we want him enough, we can definitely get him; but I don't see Wenger paying the price needed to sign him up.

Taking me back a bit there Grinner
calm downYes. The originator has already (a day or two ago) said that it was a total invention. Bizarre that the thread is still going on.
It's okay one day you will grow up and learn about rumours
It is like last summer and our rumoured interest all over again. One day there are reports that it is a done deal, a few days later we get a report that there has been no contact. It is deja vu all over again.
I don't believe we're (Arsenal) in for him and I'm not sure he'd be the right player for us. We have loads of top B2B players already. He isn't a DM and he isn't a particularly good passer so he doesn't compliment the players we have.

Ugh, the statues with spears on that level.
