The amount of points we lost last season to teams like Stoke who play with combatitive midfielders the more I think we need one of our own, Herrera and Mata will bring the grace and I'm positive Vidal is an intelligent player as well as a get stuck in type.At the end of the day it's a van Gaals decision whether he wants him or not.

Is Vidal extremely reliant on his energy levels and running or has the class and defensive acumen to match as well?
What? Grace? We need someone that wins the ball back, that puts pressure on the opponents and to play behind Herrera and Mata. That is Vidal. We don't need another playmaker in our team when we have the likes of Mata, Herrera and both wingers. He also offers the extra bonus of being an excellent goalscorer. Vidal is good at everything, he's just the complete perfect player.
In his tagline.
Nonetheless, the continual emphatic 'I'm happy at Barca, going nowhere' statements - which, as JPRouve says, started as early as May - were the only information that we didn't get at one remove via the bullshit transfer season media, and thus should have been treated as the most reliable angle. As, indeed, they turned out to be.
All this.
We did that already with Pogba and it didn't work out.
Some people refer to him as the most complete midfielder there is. I think that sums it up simply.
He can play center back
Juventus forum is trolling us here and on their own forum by releasing fake info to see if we bite.
Bit of a ridiculous statement considering our clubs history.
This is pure FM logic; We have some young midfielders, not as good as Pogba, but we do, what we need now is excellent players at their peak!
and Centre Forward
Anyone that thinks Vidal wouldn't prove a good signing needs their fecking heads testing. He's incredible. And he's 27! Not 37! At his peak, NOW is the time to buy though, no waiting another season etc.
As I mentioned earlier, this is a ploy to hide or real targets. One of Strootman, De Jong or Luiz Gustavo, or all of them. 
Shame on you all for even responding to Johns posts.
Drama queen much?
He's David Moyes right? Right? He's got to be. Am I right?
I refuse to get hyped for this. I simply refuse.
It's got Thiago written all over it.

What is terrible is that he can play the second striker role and he uses both feet
He needs to ditch that daft haircut if he comes here.
You are laying it on pretty thick i think.
While Pogba might well be better investment than Vidal surely his exit is one of a dozens episodes like that, when we did not signed Ronaldinho, blah-blah-blah.
Since when are midfielders considered too old to sign at 27? He'll be at his peak for roughly the next half-decade. He's a different player than Pogba, and I believe one that's much better suited to us.
Basically he can play any position to a decent level on the pitch except GK
I went on the Juve forum and reading afew comments on there i'm convinced most of them are young kids.
And remove his garish tattoos.
Whoever fell for the "Done Dealio" photoshopped article needs to stop what they're smoking. I laughed out loud when i saw it though, pretty funny.
To be fair, it didn't include a mention of the name Rooney so they probably mistook him for someone else.
He certainly won't get into your WI meeting looking how he does at the moment. He'll have to take his trademark victoria sponge elsewhere.
We should be signing the worlds most complete midfielder who excels at every aspect of the game, theres simply no two ways about it. He is instrumental in every part of the game defending, attacking and holding. Pogba excels at attacking he is relatively weak at defending and moderate at holding. Vidal is a better player currently and exactly what we need without a question or doubt.
A holding midfield of Vidal and Herrera almost immediately puts us in the bracket for the best midfield in the country and the best team in the country.
So previously we would have teams almost exclusively preparing for a barrage from Rooney, Van Persie, Januzaj and Mata with little to no respect for the lying midfielders or "destroyers". Fellaini became almost bypassed and Carrick would become over-run. If we had Vidal to add to Herrera the middle of the park becomes an instant danger zone. Were not talking oh they may slip in a couple of passes and get a couple of timed tackles right. Your talking a consistant blocking, counter attacking threat linking up with Mata, Herrera, Rooney, Van Persie and Janujaz.
The only team who will be able to compete with that is if A) City keeps Yaya but then lack a creative deep player like Herrra, no Fernando nor Fernandinho are that kind of player. B) Chelsea manage to get Fabregas to do his defensive duties and Matic becomes more of a goal threat C) Arsenal land Khedira and Ramsey becomes slightly more technical and creative with his distribution.
We would essentially be signing a player that has all the aspects of a midfielder you need to partner a midfielder who has those qualities but excels in creative play.

Im with this guy.
Seems all to hypish without any substance.
If he moves he ll go to Spain.
picturing itVidal would be an amazing signing, even if its hard to put him in a lineup that suits him with all our other big name players. Thats already a problem without Vidal so nothing really changes there.
Still not going to put much trust into it until something concrete and completely reliable comes out, because it would be a huge coup to convince him to come this summer in our current predicament.

Shielding yourself from disappointment. Its been covered in Red Cafe's guide to transfer psychology (Chapter 4, Para 5)
They say e is a legend
i refuse to be convinced until he signs, usually we do the negotiating for weeks, agree a fee and then the selling club lets out the fee details and wham, we get Loucas Moura'ed. Unitil I hear Di Marzio and other reliable Journo's giving solid info, i'l leave it at the speculation stage, if it doesn't work out most journo's saying deal is close, will say something like 'oh well, he had agreed a fee but Juve were stubborn' and move on, we be left with egg on our faces. if it is happeneing we will not know anything till he leaves his holiday
Oh...for the prices quoted, this is disappointing! Not too keen on signing Vidal any more

the only reason i said decent, is because we don't have solid info on him playing those positions, but he has the right mentatility and skillset to play anywhere, i reckon he is worth as much as £50m
only problem with Pogba is sometimes he does not 100% follow what a coach wants him to do, when it pays off its spectacular but when not it affects the team, Vidal is the opposite, he's a coach's dream.
