Remember when you used to argue with me that our midfield was perfectly fine.
Those were the days...
regardless of reasons for leaving Italy, I was just addressing the point previously
If you've read Fergie's book you'll know it was more down to the player himself having little regard for positional discipline which made it impossible to work him into any system. He was a (marvelous) midfielder who needed the ret of the team to accommodate him.
Pexbo, how come you so sure this transfer will happen mate?
In relation to Yaya, would anyone say they are similar players?
I read it and I wasn't surprised one bit by it. JSV was a libero ie he was given free reign to do what he pleases him and hit the opponents were he deem fit.
At some extent. They are both very, very influential in midfield. They also share some attributes, like willingness to go forward and playing as additional striker. And I would say similarities ends there.
This is like the muppet version of the Braveheart speech. Well done William
you're either on a WUM or completely deluded - fax machines these days are much quicker than that
Both players who were not needed by their clubs anymore.
Same influence maybe but Vidal is smaller and less of a "tank" if that makes sense. For example, you won't see Vidal pushing 3-4 defenders off and slotting it into the net. He's more of a dribbler.
Vidal can and has played everywhere on the pitch. From CB to CDM to CM to CAM to ST. I'd pay 55m for him easily. He's that good. He would be our Yaya if we signed him.
i would agree. Juve like bilbao want to keep face. They want to try and make it seem that vidal wants to go and united put in a bid of note. They know what vidal means to the juve fans, so they have to play the cards right
I think it's a primary factor, especially now with LVG on board, and if so I'd be delighted. What excites me most about LVG is his obvious team building ability and aversion to hiring here today, gone tomorrow mercenaries just to get a quick job done, bag a title or two, then ride off into the sunset with us back at where we started. I'm confident there's plenty of players around who really want to play for United and for the right reasons and who could become part of a unit capable of winning at the highest level under LVG. They aren't necessarily the Vidals of this world. It seems that LVG is motivated by the development of a specific club philosophy and identity based on this.
Mannschaft. Half the caf will probably think that's a cock reference but it is a remarkably apt buzz word in football this summer.
Robo on MUTV was saying that players of Yaya's ilk are hard to come by and that if he knew we could sign Yaya then he would happily give 60m for him. Seemed a strange comment to make tbh.
A chopper just flew over my office heading towards Salford, Vidal is obviously on his way to OT.
He's quicker with the ball at his feet and more positionally disciplined.
He's not, it's just his gimmick for this thread.
The reports for Italy keep saying the same.
It's cat and mouse at the moment. We are briefing the English guys that we are not interested in spending a shed load on him (I think because the player is interested in United) while Juveare briefing the Italian press that "Vidal is not for sale, but please offer us lots of money for him".

Haven't we moved on from that to "We're not in for the player"?
Wrong forum.
We need to get this wrapped up fast, no waiting for Vidal to finish his holiday. PSG will come in for Pogba and that will be the end of the Vidal pursuit.
Well I for one still believe.
The holiday thing is annoying. As people have pointed out, other players are getting signed while on holiday - if we are in for him we shouldn't be letting this delay us.
If LVG kills the story today will there still be people refusing to believe it or will that be enough to convince people?
Eh?
This is the transfer forum, where realisms like Brophs' aren't accepted.
If LVG kills it, its dead.
Simples.
I'm with you, I think its a matter of time before he is ours.
If that's the case, then LVG doesn't know what he is missing.
Unless, of course, LvG has identified another player that he feels will fit into his requirements for the team better than Vidal would, or one that he feels he can develop into a better player.
