Yeah but Gazzetta is not a tabloid, its a well known sports paper. Maybe some italian caftard could confirm it.
Nothing on myhome.ie
Gazzetta is a paper from Milano and links our best players away all the time. If it was up to them, we would have sold Vidal and Pogba in every single transfer window since they signed for us. It's a daily sports paper. You cannot fill dozens of papers related to football with actual news every day, especially in off-season. Of course, that does not mean that nothing is going on. There is reason enough to speculate. But I would not take Gazzetta's word as something that substantially increases the probability of this transfer to happen.
That's the spirit Pexbo!
100% on and a matter of time.
This guy sticking his neck out again.
Its good to see we are being this accommodating with Juventus now, after we win the title next season it'll make it easier to get Pogba next summer
€6m/year = £90k per week right?
Is this after tax?
Is this after tax?
I'd imagine so. It's only the British media who seem to talk in terms of gross pay.
Has to be after tax, Young gets paid more than that gross.
180 k a week. I think thats easy for us since rio/vida/evra/ giggs are all of the payroll and young will be soon off it too(i pray every day, god's got to listen right.......RIGHT?).
Who is Matt Davies? And why do we trust him enough to have a discussion?
"Might continue" yep that sounds positive
£39million seems like a fair price involving all parties, But would this make Vidal the most expensive CM in history? My memory eludes me right now.
Zidane was more over a decade ago, also from Juve.
Yeah, but wasn't Zidane a CAM? I'm not sure he played CM that often.
Yep, if you are not counting Zidane who was more attacking but did play as a CM some times.
When Madrid bought Zidane, they a actually played him as a LM for a time.
He's a hero to muppets. Reading his page, he reckons Vidal AND Hummels are coming.
The Evra deal does seem to be remarkably long winded though. That's the one hope that it's somehow linked to Vidal.
Maybe, which seems amazing given how vital a position it is. I guess it really is goalscoring that people pay the biggest bucks for.
If you count Fabregas as a CM transfer (which arguably he wasn't, since the buying club, Barcelona, didn't see him as one), he'd probably be the most expensive. If not... maybe Modric for £33.something?
Reason for Evra deal taking so long is more likely to be because of the change of coach than Vidal having anything to do with it.
Yes. Next most expensive CM is still Juan Sebastian Veron.
Veron really wasn't a CM either though like Zidane though they could play deeper as well.
Anyway, there are a few above him now in the Mid to low 30 mark. Witsel for one ? Illaramendi, Fabregas, Martinez and Ferandinho as well ?
Fernandinho - 34m
All the Italian press are linking him away....
Depends on what currency one is using :
Veron is still untouched at € 45m.
Modric is second at € 42m.
Witsel to Zenit was € 40m in a double € 80m deal with Hulk.
Fernandinho to City was € 40m.
Fabergas to Barcelona was also € 40m.
Fellaini runs them pretty close at € 34m.
United do have a penchant for smashing midfielder transfer records.
EDIT : Veron was a CM too man. He played there for Lazio and Argentina before United. Sort of like a pseudo-regista position.
Ok let me compile all the evidence so far that we are going to sign Vidal:
-Italian papers reporting we are interested and Juve will sell at the right price( including Juve mouthpiece Tuttosport)
-Chilean reports that we are very interested and Vidal wants the move.
-Vidal himself has spoken three times without commiting to Juve, name checked us twice, and even said (paraphrasing) I will be happy to stay at Juve if United deal falls through.Can a player be more obvious than this while still contracted to Juve.
-Most reliable United source Andy Mitten says we are very interested.
-Emmet Kennedy who called the RVP transfer 5 days before it happened and before anyone else and hasn't said a word about any of our transfers since, is sure it will happen.
- The Evra deal was reportedly completed weeks ago but still hasn't been announced.
-Vidal is reportedly preparing to sell his house.
-Beppe Moratta (Juve CEO) says Juve do not want to sell Vidal but move is up to the player.
- Juve director Pavel Nedved says Juve would sell if they recieved a high bid.
-Delay in transfer happening may be due to Juve trying to bring in signings before he goes, Juve saving face and recovering from Conte departure, giving Allegri time to settle in and of course Vidal being on holiday.
EDIT:Forget to mention Van Gaal saying Vidal is a very good player sometime before the world cup( can't remember clearly) AND name checking him in his pre-match conference before Mexico match when talking about the match against Chile despite the fact Vidal played no part in that game.
Ok some of that may be bullshit or coincidence but that is a hell of a lot of smoke. I for one am extremely confidant we will sign him shortly after he returns from holidays.

Here's the report from Chilean paper El Mercurio, thanks to a user on Reddit:
+ Juventus are buying a few players at the moment (They are in the red zone....so they are needing the money of a Vidal or Pogba sale)
I'm just wondering why people want De Jong? He didn't seem to offer anything at the world cup and failed at Manchester City, I am missing something here?
That's basically the inner workings of my head for the last few days. I can feel it in my ovaries. Matter of time.
Short term solution to our midfield problems.
