Ah.. Lou Macari is clueless.
On MUTV now about Vidal: "I don't see us spending another 30m on a midfielder"

Robson also described Valencia as one of the best right sided midfielders around. I just hope our board doesn't think this way.
At one stage he was. I really hope he didn't say recently though...
I'd be very surprised if he is even at the Club when the transfer Window is over.
Well I hope Lou Macari is wrong. I would be more than happy to see us break our transfer record for him.
If we make no more signings for CM i would quite like to see what Tony V can do in the middle. i think he would be a good anchor. Probably not a popular opinion i no but there you goRobson also described Valencia as one of the best right sided midfielders around. I just hope our board doesn't think this way.
Oh yes, 30m for Vidal would be a bloody bargain. I'd pay 45m for him.
He never was. He was in great form. That's it. Ability wise he isn't a top player.
We could have had Garay, Thiago & Strootman - only Moyes vetoed those deals last summer.
Then again, those three might have saved his job & we'd still be stuck with him. So was last seasons shambles worth it - now that we have LvG in place for the next 3 or more years?!
He'd be a terrible anchor imo, you need to be able to move the ball quickly in that area, can you imagine him picking it up on the left, he'd get caught out straight away trying to do a spin to get it on his right. It's an annoyance when we're attacking, it's a problem if it's happening just before our box.
Hmmm whether it's Vidal or not we really do need another midfielder for next season. Carrick was gash and Fletcher isn't the same player. The rest wouldn't look out of place playing for Burnley.
I have disengaged muppet mode. This way I won't be disappointed when nothing comes of this.
Wonder how much Lou would have been worth in his time, in today's prices?
Not even close. He was Milan manager, gave them champions title at first, but then guided them to relegation battle.
We shouldn't get so obsessed by one player every season. I'd be more than happy if we brought in, say, a player like Schweinsteiger, a world class CB, and exciting winger like Depay. That would do me.
Vidal is a muppet's dream, if it happens fantastic, if it doesn't I won't lose sleep.

Lou Macari is saying we're overloaded with midfielders so it doesn't make sense to sign Vidal.
I remember a few weeks ago he and Mandy were talking about us having 11 midfielders or something, in which case they must've been counting the wingers and/or the number 10s like Kagawa and Mata as midfielders as we clearly don't have anything like that in terms of central-midfield, before even getting into the question of quality. But I'm sure any of the other 10 midfielders can play the same role as Carrick for example - Young as a CDM would be the making of him
Schweinsteiger? He'd be as hard to get as Vidal.
No, I don't think they are manipulated. I believe you're referring to the interview that was posted on Youtube and linked earlier in this thread which was done just prior to a Colo Colo game where he was being interviewed. The one where he mentions this about "if the Manchester United deal falls through" is from a separate interview. Not only did reports of this "falls through" quote come out a day or two after the other quotes, he also says different things than at the Colo Colo game. Pretty much every article about the "falls through" quote has him also mentioning "spending time with the people I love". He never said anything about "people I love" in the interview at the Colo Colo game. In both he mentioned that he's happy at Juve, that he's just enjoying his holiday, and something to the effect of sorting it all out when he returns to Italy. But he didn't mention family, the people he loves, or anything along those lines at the Colo Colo game.
So unless you think that the twitterverse also made up quotes completely pointless to any discussion about United or Juve, and also somehow got pretty much every paper in England to run it (including the more legitimate, less gossipy ones), I don't think those quotes are manipulated.
Probably harder.
In football, we never know. I never thought I'd see RVP or Mata at United, but it happened.
Long way to go until Sep 1st. There will be celebrations and heartbreak along the way - enjoy the ride I say!
According to Lou: won't spend on Vidal, but might go for Sneijder.
feck sake, this is off again so?
What?
Thiagoff again??
I mean Vidaloff again?

Tie a piece of rope to him and throw him in the sea, you might have something here.
Only kidding Tony
Marotta: "Vidal remains. If you want him. " And the United
Marotta provides: "We do not want to sell it," but then adds: "But the players always decide." And United is arming
TURIN - Beppe Marotta do not want to sell, but this is not enough to be sure that does not leave Arturo Vidal Juventus.Says the CEO of Juventus' Vidal? Never put up for sale. It 'a player who has been asked by important clubs, but we've never sat at the negotiating table. And 'one of the greatest actors of our team, we keep it tight. Then you know that on one side there now, the other is the player who is always the one who decides its future. However, it seems to me that Vidal has also expressed his happiness of yesterday remain, if this is true happiness, we are overjoyed to keep it. "
THE MANCHESTER - What does this mean? Well, let's say that Juventus in front of an offer of 45/50 million would be hard pressed not to give in to the temptation to sell Vidal. And, in that case, the key to justify the sale of jewelery could be the "will of the player." In other words: if Vidal wants to go to Manchester we can not hold by force. But Vidal wants to go to Manchester? It is not clear yet good for the time bouncing pieces of interviews from South America where Vidal is kept in balance. But the truth is that no one has yet made an offer on which to reflect in a concrete way. Vidal is fine in Turin and his family would not like a transfer, however, if the offer of Manchester was economically interesting for him, everything could change. And the Manchester seems serious about: the budget for Vidal is 44 million euro, but could be set to rise.

Probably, especilly after his WC performances.
Anything can happen, except for Schweinsteiger signing for us.
ARTURON
I hope he decides to sign for The Manchester.
Another poster posted this in Evra thread..
Bryan Robson on MUTV: ''Evra won't go to Juve if we can't get the player we are trying to get off them.''

They had to say something and they aren't going to say he's likely to leave.
Lou macari was saying it's a massive blow that he's leaving as well.
Ah come on, we'd all love to see him here but he did just lead his country to win the World Cup, I doubt he's willing to drop down from prob the best team in Europe, and drop out of the Champions League to try help us reclaim our place in the Prem, he's a professional footballer, not a charity worker.
RVP and Mata were both settled in England already, RVP only had 1 year left on his contract and wasn't willing to wait for Arsenal to invest the big bucks, Mata was treated poorly by Mourinho that explains them two.
Actually now that Kroos is gone (or almost gone) he would be much much harder than Vidal to get.
I agree with you guys, I said a 'Schweinsteiger type' - not necessarily him.
There are loads of midfielders out there, some very good ones too. Vidal isn't the be all and end all.

I quite like the idea of making "the United" a forum standard as well!
I think Lou actually enjoys us being shit. Makes his incessant whinging more acceptable then.According to Lou: won't spend on Vidal, but might go for Sneijder.
Imagine what would've happened if they said Vidal was leaving...
