what the fudge would a Chilean newspaper know about our 'obsessions' with players? I call shenanigans.

The club is going to be notably more Chilean in the very near future.

I sure hope so, it just seems right now people are struggling to pick up the fact that there's a big missing link between a Chilean paper reporting an English club is obsessed with a Chilean player. Now, if it was a Chilean paper reporting a Chilean player was obsessed with moving to an English club, I'd take my chubby out and rub away.

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.

Stop giving me a hard-on, Danny Booooooooi:drool:
 
He gained some notoriety for this a week before Arsenal signed Sanchez



Not saying that means anything, but that's why he's being quoted now.
 
Where did Nedved say Vidal is for sale if a high bid is made? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that he said Juve won't be selling their best players and definitely not Vidal. I may be wrong though.
 
It concerns me that all the noise is coming from Chile, as it's them all wanting to see their guy at one of the biggest clubs in the world (no offence Juve, more a dig at Serie A if anything)

I don't think he did.

I read the same quotes as you from Nedved. It's always a problem using those type of twitter accounts as a source of quotes or any sort of information for that matter.
 
This is the week I think the muppet meltdown will commence. If Real Madrid are genuinely interested it's over. I would love Vidal at United but can't help but think dirty Madrid are going to sneak in. There name was only mentioned recently and it would be like them. His holidays are nearly up and it's decision time. By this time next week we will know if he's coming. I hope we go all out for him though and give it a go. Chilevision will be banished forever if he doesn't come.

Nearly 10,000 posts of muppetry summarised in one post! Brilliant work!

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. :D

EDIT : Veron was a CM too man. He played there for Lazio and Argentina before United. Sort of like a pseudo-regista position.

What about Javi Martinez? I heard that was quite high, something to do with the taxes involved?

That's basically the inner workings of my head for the last few days. I can feel it in my ovaries. Matter of time.

Excellent summary of events Pexbo!
I'm counting down the days till Vidal gets here... Herrera-Vidal should make a fantastic midfield.

He was the most expensive signing in Bundesliga history. The fee was 40M Euros.
 
The fact that the Chilean and Italian press have been so adamant about this happening convinces me that we have a solid chance of getting him. All of these reports aren't and can't be bullshit, it's just way too much smoke for there not to be fire.
